System and method for selecting relevant products to be transparently acquired for a consumer
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of consumer preferences to determine a plurality of ratings vectors;
deriving a plurality of predictive vectors based on the consumer preferences;
receiving a delivery schedule including a plurality of schedule data and corresponding plurality of product description data regarding a plurality of products;
selecting a predicted group of products of the plurality of products the consumer may prefer, transparent to the consumer, by comparing the plurality of product description data and the plurality of predictive vectors; and
acquiring, transparent to the consumer, the predicted group of products for the consumer.

Abstract
System and method for selecting relevant products to be transparently delivered to a consumer. The method may include obtaining consumer preferences and deriving a plurality of predictive vectors based on the consumer preferences. After receiving a delivery schedule including schedule data and corresponding product description data regarding a plurality of products, a predicted group of products the consumer may prefer may be selected transparent to the consumer by comparing the product description data and the predictive vectors. Transparent to the consumer, the predicted group of products may be acquired for the consumer. In one embodiment, the method may be implemented on a system that includes a set-top box and may be stored as instructions on a machine readable medium within the set-top box.
