  • Publication number: 20120179520
    Abstract: A method for performing an action based on user interaction with a graphical presentation, according to one embodiment. In use, output data is generated corresponding to a multidimensional presentation of graphical representations of two or more consumer products in relation to each other. Additionally, positions of the graphical representations of the consumer products relative to each other are based on multiple attributes of the products. Further, none of the dimensions correlates to a side by side ordering of the consumer products. Further still, a user selection of one or more of the consumer products is received. Also, a transaction is performed based on additional input received from the user. Additional embodiments are also presented.

  • Publication number: 20100088154
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for computing and outputting a timeline value. In use, model data about a product is received. Additionally, thresholds relevant to the model data are received or computed. Further, a timeline value is computed based on comparing the thresholds to the model data, where the timeline value is indicative of a current stage in a lifecycle of the product. Further still, the timeline value is output. Additional systems, methods and computer program products are also implemented. For example, methods are presented for computing and outputting an indication of product buzz and/or popularity. Other methods include using one or more of timeline, popularity, sentiment, value, discount ratings, etc. to compute a recommendation and output the same.

  • Patent number: 7174455
    Abstract: A system and method for delivering a digital product electronically is disclosed. The system and method comprises providing an electronic license certificate (ELC) from an end-user to a server and then validating the ELC by the server. Finally, the method and system includes sending the digital product from the server to the user based upon validation of the electronic license certificate by the server. Accordingly, a digital product delivery system that is based on the concept of an active license (AL) which contains a plurality of active license objects (ALPOs) is disclosed. An ALPO is a software program that contains a digitally signed certificate document that may entitle the holder to receive, possess, and use a specific product.
