Patent number: 11004123Abstract: A system for trading goods over a computer network based on image processing includes an image processor that analyzes a picture received from a user to build a description of entities in the picture and correlations among the entities, a description interpreter that analyzes the description to determine an underlying message in the picture and detect information regarding the user's interests, emotions and affinities to goods and services, wherein the information is stored with the user's profile, the user's list of items to trade, and the user's past transaction history, and a trade matching component that uses the user's profile and produces a ranked list of other users with items to trade, or intermediary trade steps, when another user initiates a new trading transaction.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2019Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Silvia Cristina Sardela Bianchi, Victor Fernandes Cavalcante, Paulo Marques Caldeira Junior, Sergio Varga

Publication number: 20170083881Abstract: A method of managing digital promises includes receiving transaction information and a request for a digital promise ranking. The transaction information includes identifying information of a first party and/or a second party. Each digital promise belongs to the first party and has a corresponding owner. A relationship score is calculated between the corresponding owner of each digital promise and the second party. An affinity score is calculated between the corresponding owner of each digital promise and the second party. A reputation score is calculated for the owner of each digital promise. A final score of each digital promise is calculated based on the relationship score, the affinity score and the reputation score. The digital promise rank is generated based on the final score of each digital promise.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2015Publication date: March 23, 2017Inventors: SILVIA CRISTINA SARDELA BIANCHI, VICTOR FERNANDES CAVALCANTE, MAIRA ATHANAZIO DE CERQUEIRA GATTI, PAULO MARQUES CALDEIRA JUNIOR
