Benefits of technology

[0008]Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for enhancing reliability of ratings provided to users in a social network. The system includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory includes a database and instructions executable by the processor. The database includes profile information (corresponding to each user) that may include information corresponding to one or more types of ratings received by each user based on at least one of sharing, exchanging, and selling at least one of activity, service or product. Furthermore, the instructions enable the second user to raise an objection on the rating provided by the first user. Also, the objection raised by the second user may be accepted or rejected by analyzing the information corresponding to at least one of the one or more types of ratings corresponding to the first user and the second user. Additionally, at least one of the types of ratings, corresponding to the users, may be updated based on acceptance or rejection of the objection raised by the second user.
[0009]Further, embodiments of the present invention provide a system for enhancing reliability of ratings provided to users in a social network. The system includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes a database and instructions executable by the processor. The database may comprise profile information corresponding to each user that includes information corresponding to one or more types of ratings received by each user based on at least one of sharing, exchanging, and selling at least one of activity, service or product with one or more other users. Further, the instructions analyse the rating, provided by the first user, with respect to a pre-set value of rating to determine whether the rating is above, below or equal to the pre-set value of rating. Furthermore, instructions may perform one or more tasks to enable at least one of the first user and the second user to perform one or more acts corresponding to the rating, the at least one of the first user and the second user being enabled to perform the one or more acts based on analysis of the rating. Additionally, the instructions executable by the processor may update the types of ratings, corresponding to the users, based on the one or more acts performed by at least one of the first user and the second user.

Problems solved by technology

For example, the prevalent use of single occupancy vehicles is known to be a significant cause of several major economic, social and environmental problems.
The problems embrace increasing cost due to usage of energy resource for each vehicle, higher parking-space issues, traffic congestion, increased level of air pollution and the like.
However, in these systems, the interested users may be completely unknown to the user who posts the query.
Thus, the main problem in such systems is the lack of credibility, in the interested people, which typically is the pre-requisite for many users.
Further, in these systems, the user has to wait until any interested user respond corresponding to the query of the user.
This wastes a significant amount of time on the user's part.
Further, such non-sharable resources may be expensive to possess.
However, exchanging such expensive resources, with any other resource or service offered by any other person, require a high level of credibility in the offer of the other person and vice versa.
This wastes a significant time of the individual to track the service provided by the other person.

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide means to the users of the system to provide ratings and corresponding feedback for enhancing the genuineness in the ratings. The system includes a memory coupled to a processor. The memory includes one or more instructions executable by the processor to enable the users of the system to rate each other based on at least one of sharing, exchanging, and selling one of activity, service or product. The system may provide a mechanism to encourage genuineness in ratings provided by the users. Furthermore, the instructions facilitate the rating receivers to provide feedbacks corresponding to the received ratings. The feedback includes accepting or objecting to a particular rating. Moreover, the memory includes instructions executable by the processor to enable the system to determine genuineness of an objection raised by a rating receiver.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a Continuation of U.S. Non-Provisional application Ser. No. 13,412,647 entitled ‘Reliable Rating System and Method Thereof’ filed on Mar. 6, 2012, which is a Continuation-In-Part (CIP) of U.S. Non-Provisional application Ser. No. 13 / 412,619 entitled ‘Systems and methods to support sharing and exchanging in a network’ filed on Mar. 6, 2012.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to social networking applications and more specifically the invention relates to enhancing reliability of ratings provided to users in a social network.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In current scenario of global inflation, resource management is increasingly required to cut the cost and to overcome many other problems. For example, the prevalent use of single occupancy vehicles is known to be a significant cause of several major economic, social and environmental problems. The problems embrace increasing cost due to usage of energy ...
