Abstract
Systems, methods and computer program products for facilitating searching, obtaining and displaying product choice recommendations using inputs, including continuum-based inputs, and variable-sized visual representations are disclosed. In an embodiment, a user is presented with at least one continuum-based selector and at least one product choice visual representation. At least one input indicating user interest value in a product attribute is received and compared with stored result values of product choices. A unique weighing value indicating the relevancy of the product choice is generated for each product based on the comparison performed. The user is then presented with at least one product choice visual representation which may be modified based on the unique weighing value of the product choice.

What. What is claimed is:
-
1. A computer-implemented method for facilitating searching, obtaining and displaying product choice recommendations using inputs, including continuum-based inputs, and variable-sized visual representations, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) presenting at least one continuum-based selector to the user and at least one product choice visual representation; (b) receiving at least one input indicating at least one user interest value; (c) comparing the user interest values with at least one product choice, the comparing at least partially based on similarity of user interest value and stored result values for at least one product choice; (d) generating unique weighing values for at least one product choice compared, wherein the generation of unique weighing values is at least partially based on the comparisons performed; and (e) presenting at least one product choice visual representation to the user wherein the product choice visual representation is modified based on the unique weighing value of the product choice depicted in the product choice visual representation. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A computer readable storage medium for storing computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions facilitating searching, obtaining and displaying product choice recommendations using inputs, including continuum-based inputs, and variable-sized visual representations when executed by one or more processing devices, the computer readable instructions comprising:
-
logic configured to present at least one continuum-based selector to the user and at least one product choice visual representation; logic configured to receive at least one input indicating at least one user interest value; logic configured to compare user interest values with at least one product choice, the comparison at least partially based on similarity of user interest value and stored result values for at least one product choice; logic configured to generate unique weighing values for each product choice compared, wherein the generation of unique weighing values is at least partially based on the comparisons performed; and logic configured to present at least one product choice visual representation to the user wherein the product choice visual representation is modified based on the unique weighing value of the product choice depicted in the product choice visual representation. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer system for facilitating searching, obtaining and displaying product choice recommendations using inputs, including continuum-based inputs, and variable-sized visual representations, comprising:
-
(a) means for presenting at least one continuum-based selector to the user and at least one product choice visual representation; (b) means for receiving at least one input indicating at least one user interest value; (c) means for comparing the user interest values with at least one product choice, the comparing at least partially based on similarity of user interest value and stored result values for at least one product choice; (d) means for generating unique weighing values for each product choice compared, wherein the generation of unique weighing values is at least partially based on the comparisons performed; and (e) means for presenting at least one product choice visual representation to the user, wherein the product choice visual representation is modified based on the unique weighing value of the product choice depicted in the product choice visual representation. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)

21. A computer-implemented method that facilitates searching, obtaining and displaying product choice recommendations using inputs, including continuum-based inputs, and relevance-indicating visual representations, the method comprising the steps of:
-
presenting a continuum-based selector to a user and at least one product choice visual representation, the continuum-based selector being based on a continuum between a plurality of attribute criteria, the plurality of attribute criteria including first attribute criteria and second attribute criteria, and the continuum-based selector providing a relative preference adjustment between the first attribute criteria and the second attribute criteria, and presenting the user, upon the user presenting an interest in the first attribute criteria through the continuum-based selector, with additional more particularized criteria related to the first attribute criteria; receiving at least one input indicating at least one user interest value, the at least one input representing a relative preference between the plurality of attribute criteria, and the receiving at least one input being performed by the user interfacing with the continuum-based selector; comparing the at least one user interest value with a stored result value for at least one product choice, the comparing at least partially based on similarity of at least one user interest value and a stored result value for at least one product choice; generating a unique weighing value for at least one product choice compared; and presenting at least one product choice visual representation to the user wherein the product choice visual representation is modified based on the unique weighing value of the product choice depicted in the product choice visual representation. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A computer readable storage medium that stores computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions facilitating searching, obtaining and displaying product choice recommendations using inputs, including continuum-based inputs, and relevance-indicating visual representations when executed by one or more processing devices, the computer readable storage medium constituted by non-transitory machine-readable medium, the computer readable instructions comprising:
-
logic configured to present a continuum-based selector to a user and at least one product choice visual representation, the continuum-based selector being based on a continuum between a plurality of attribute criteria, the plurality of attribute criteria including first attribute criteria and second attribute criteria, and the continuum-based selector providing a relative preference adjustment between the first attribute criteria and the second attribute criteria, and presenting the user, upon the user presenting an interest in the first attribute criteria through the continuum-based selector, with additional, more particularized criteria related to the first attribute criteria; logic configured to receive at least one input indicating at least one user interest value, the at least one input comprising a relative preference between the plurality of attribute criteria, and the logic configured to receive the at least one input by the user interfacing with the continuum-based selector; logic configured to compare user interest values with at least one product choice, such comparison at least partially based on similarity of user interest value and stored result values for at least one product choice; logic configured to generate unique weighing values for each product choice compared; and logic configured to present at least one product choice visual representation to the user wherein the product choice visual representation is modified based on the unique weighing value of the product choice depicted in the product choice visual representation.
