Abstract
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates ensuring reliability in an online transaction. An interface component can receive data related to at least one user involved with an online transaction associated with commerce. An evaluation component can generate a reputation associated with the user based on at least one online activity and can employ a pre-determined handshake period for at least one of a feedback on the online transaction or an acknowledgement of a portion of the online transaction.
Claims16
A computer implemented system having processor, memory, and data storage subsystems that facilitates ensuring reliability in a transaction, the computer implemented system comprising:
- an interface component of the computer system that receives data related to at least one of a user, a client, or an entity;
- and
- an evaluation component that generates, via the processor, a reputation assessment based upon one or more received factors from another network, associated with at least one of the user, the client, or the entity received from the interface component and based on at least one online activity related thereto, at least one of the user, the client, or the entity utilizes the reputation assessment for an involvement in an online transaction associated with commerce;
- wherein the evaluation component employs a pre-determined handshake acknowledgement and feedback period for a portion of offline activity, and an acknowledgement and feedback of a portion of the online transaction prior to completion of the transaction, and integrity of the evaluation component is facilitated by an intelligent component.
A computer-implemented system having processor, memory, and data storage subsystems that facilitates ensuring reliability in an online transaction, the computer-implemented system comprising:
- means for receiving data via an evaluation component of the data storage subsystem related to at least one user involved with an online transaction associated with commerce;
- means for generating a reputation assessment based upon received handshake rating data and based upon one or more received factors from another network, associated with the at least one user based on at least one online activity;
- means for employing a pre-determined time period to discern whether a portion of criteria associated with offline activity has been satisfied, and an acknowledgement and feedback of a portion of the online transaction prior to completing the online transaction;
- and
- means for computing a probability distribution over one or more states of the at least one user.
