System and method for ranking objects having multiple attributes
First Claim
1. A computer system for ranking one or more objects having two or more attributes comprising:
- one or more central processing units (CPUs) and one or more memories and one or more network interface to one or more networks associated with the CPUs;
one or more visual interfaces which receives one or more objects having two or more attributes, and visually presents the one or more objects;
one or more weight generator modules which receives the one or more objects having two or more attributes and one or more objects ranked by one or more users, and computes one or more weights of one or more attributes of the objects; and
one or more multi-criteria decision analysis module which receives the one or more objects having two or more attributes and one or more weights of one or more attributes of objects, and computes one or more scores of the one or more objects.

Abstract
A system and method that introduces ordering on a set of criteria and ranks alternatives having two or more attributes. More specifically, a system and method for online trading over a networked system where buyers and sellers make one or more trade deals on one or more products or services that have two or more attributes by using a Request For Quote (RFQ) process on an electronic marketplace. The system and method relates to decision under certainty. To provide the advantages presented by the system and method, a weight generator process computes weights of object attributes by re-engineering the ranks of the selected objects given by the user. The computing of the attribute weights is performed by score inequality.

15. A method of ranking one or more objects having two or more attributes comprising the steps of:
-
receiving one or more objects having two or more attributes;
specifying a number and members of the selected objects;
displaying one or more views of the selected objects in one or more visual interfaces;
providing one or more ranks of the selected objects displayed in the one or more visual interfaces;
computing one or more weights of one or more attributes of the objects by using one or more ranks specified for the selected objects;
computing one or more scores of one or more objects having two or more attributes by using the computed weights of one or more attributes of objects;
displaying one or more views of the one or more objects having two or more attributes with one or more scores for individual objects in the one or more visual interfaces; and
displaying one or more weights of the one or more attributes of the objects in the one or more visual interfaces.

20. A machine readable medium containing code for ranking one or more objects having two or more attributes, the code implementing the steps of:
-
receiving one or more objects having two or more attributes;
specifying a number and members of the selected objects;
displaying one or more views of the selected objects in one or more visual interfaces;
providing one or more ranks of the selected objects displayed in the one or more visual interfaces;
computing one or more weights of one or more attributes of the objects by using one or more ranks specified for the selected objects;
computing one or more scores of one or more objects having two or more attributes by using the computed weights of one or more attributes of objects;
displaying one or more views of the one or more objects having two or more attributes with one or more scores for individual objects in the one or more visual interfaces; and
displaying one or more weights of the one or more attributes of the objects in the one or more visual interfaces.
