  • Method and apparatus for interactive criteria-based commodity comparisons
    Patent number: 7457772
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to remember and attempt to persist relative differences between automatically adjusted current weight values for non-directly adjusted graphic user interface elements, notwithstanding previous automatic adjustment of these current weighting values to a point of equality. A plurality of user-alterable graphic user interface elements are provided (101), with each element corresponding to at least one alterable selection criteria. The plurality of user-alterable graphic user interface elements illustrate current weighting values, wherein the aggregate sum of the current weighting values comprises a particular value. A user then alters (102) a graphic user interface element, causing a change in the corresponding weighting value.
