  • Patent number: 9734258
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and a system of displaying cross-website information. The method includes obtaining, by a first server of a first website, product information under a category of at least one desired product of a first user. Next, the first server obtains information of similar product units under a product category of a second server, where a similar product unit includes a set of displayable products. The first server then computes degrees of similarity between the product information under the category of the at least one desired product and respective product information of the similar product units. For the product information under the category of the at least one desired product, the first server selects a predetermined number of top similar product units in a descending order of the degrees of similarity, and renders products included in the predetermined number of top similar product units as products to be displayed.
