Inventor: JONES DAN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2009-11-13
Abstract: The analyser comprises one or more lists, each list having one or more items (e.g. hotels, famous people), and each item having a position on the list and characterised by one or more features. It has a first calculator which measures an assessment made of the features and position of each item by the users, which forms a user:item pair for each item assessed and the calculator determines an assessment for each of said user:item pairs. It has a second calculator which measures the activity of each of the users and determines a user rank for each of them. The analyser calculates an individual rank value for each item:user pair by modifying the assessment of the user:item pairs according to the user rank of each user and according to how recently an assessment of each item was made by the user. The analyser calculates an overall rank value for each item by summing the individual rank values, and the items are ordered within the lists according to their overall rank. The analyser allows users to assess collectively or collaboratively a large number of items.
