Abstract
Mobile product advising includes creating, via a computer processor, vectors for each of a number of subjects corresponding to a product and assigning attributes of the subjects to corresponding fields of the vector. The mobile product advising also includes assigning values in the fields of the vectors reflecting a status of the attributes relative to the subjects. The mobile product advising further includes creating a product label for the product and encoding the vector including the attributes and values on the product label.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- creating, via a computer processor, vectors for each of a plurality of subjects corresponding to a product and assigning attributes of the subjects to corresponding fields of the vectors;
- assigning values in the fields of the vectors reflecting a status of the attributes relative to the subjects;
- creating a product label for the product;
- encoding the vectors including the attributes and values on the product label
- comparing scanned data from the product label with a preference vector created for an end user;
- determining a compatibility indicator responsive to the comparing;
- and
- presenting a notification indicative of the compatibility indicator to an end user device of the end user.
A system comprising:
- a host system computer;
- and
- logic executable by the host system computer, the logic configured to implement a method, the method comprising:
- creating vectors for each of a plurality of subjects corresponding to a product and assigning attributes of the subjects to corresponding fields of the vectors;
- assigning values in the fields of the vectors reflecting a status of the attributes relative to the subjects;
- creating a product label for the product;
- encoding the vectors including the attributes and values on the product label;
- comparing scanned data from the product label with a preference vector created for an end user;
- determining a compatibility indicator responsive to the comparing;
- and
- presenting a notification indicative of the compatibility indicator to an end user device of the end user.
A computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to implement a method, the method comprising:
- creating vectors for each of a plurality of subjects corresponding to a product and assigning attributes of the subjects to corresponding fields of the vectors;
- assigning values in the fields of the vectors reflecting a status of the attributes relative to the subjects;
- creating a product label for the product;
- encoding the vectors including the attributes and values on the product label;
- comparing scanned data from the product label with a preference vector created for an end user;
- determining a compatibility indicator responsive to the comparing;
- and
- presenting a notification indicative of the compatibility indicator to an end user device of the end user.
