Embodiment Construction

[0040] The following description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the invention and to explain the best mode contemplated by the inventors for carrying out its invention. However, various modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art, since the general principles of the invention have been specifically defined herein to provide a method for producing an improved trust-based rating system.

[0041] Figure 1 shows a sample form of an embodiment for allowing system users to control who can trust them (possibly decisive method of preserving rater anonymity).

[0042] figure 2 Diagram for allowing "one-way trust" in a system with other holds such as "threshold number of ratings required" ) is one of the steps associated with assessing the risk of loss of anonymity. In step 1, a user (consumer, U1) evaluates a seller (S1). In step 2, the seller utilizes another user account or alias (U2) and trusts the user (U1) - this step works b...

Abstract

A trust-based rating system is user customizable. It is a system in which the raters remain anonymous. The anonymous ratings mimic real life person-to-person recommendation methods wherein recommendations are personal and cannot be controlled by persons or items being rated. The system uses contextually meaningful rating which are filtered explicitly by the end-user or implicitly based upon the environment of the end-user to facilitate discovery and minimize the potential for fraud and deception. Trust networks are constructed between the participants and the rating filtered or weighted according to the user's relative trust of the raters in the system. Ratings made by the inventive system can be for goods, services, people, businesses or virtually any item that can be rated and / or recommended.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Prior Applications [0001] This application is based on and claims priority from US Provisional Application No. 60 / 750,934, filed December 16, 2005, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0002] Purpose of the present invention and related technologies [0003] The present invention arose out of our perceived need for a better system than rating systems currently available especially in the online environment. We believe that our system addresses the perceived problems of online commerce and recommender systems broadly, in a unique manner, and of value to consumers. The system of the present invention helps to prevent or avoid fraud and equal rating pressure (whereby a non-anonymous rating party feels compelled to give someone else an inaccurate rating for mutual benefit or revenge). The present system enables raters to make accurate assessments without addressing issues of their identity that may be lin...
