  • Graphical item chooser
    Patent number: 10430022
    Abstract: A graphical item chooser sorts candidate products or services by initially classifying each of one or more objective icons as a primary objective icon or a secondary objective icon. Each objective icon represents one or more desired characteristics of a product or service that facilitates a particular objective. The graphical item chooser may further determine at least one most desired characteristic of the ideal product or service. The determination is made based on a frequency that each desired characteristic is represented by the one or more objective icons. Having made the determination, the graphical item chooser then sorts the candidate products or services based at least on similarities between one or more characteristics of each candidate product or service and the at least one most desired characteristic. Following the sort, the graphical item chooser generates a sorted list of suitable products or services.
