SYSTEMS, METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR COMPUTING AND OUTPUTTING A TIMELINE VALUE, INDICATION OF POPULARITY, AND RECOMMENDATION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving model data about a product;
receiving or computing thresholds relevant to the model data;
computing a timeline value based on comparing the thresholds to the model data, the timeline value being indicative of a current stage in a lifecycle of the product; and
outputting the timeline value.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method is provided for computing and outputting a timeline value. In use, model data about a product is received. Additionally, thresholds relevant to the model data are received or computed. Further, a timeline value is computed based on comparing the thresholds to the model data, where the timeline value is indicative of a current stage in a lifecycle of the product. Further still, the timeline value is output. Additional systems, methods and computer program products are also implemented. For example, methods are presented for computing and outputting an indication of product buzz and/or popularity. Other methods include using one or more of timeline, popularity, sentiment, value, discount ratings, etc. to compute a recommendation and output the same.
