Visualization tools for reviewing credibility and stateful hierarchical access to credibility
First Claim
1. For a credibility evaluation system comprising at least one server with a processor and non-transitory computer-readable memory, a computer-implemented method for assessing credibility of a plurality of different entities, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- aggregating to the non-transitory computer-readable memory, a plurality of messages published across a first plurality of online sites, each message expressing sentiment towards a particular entity that is referenced in the message;
computing a first sentiment score quantifying credibility of the particular entity based on the sentiment expressed towards the particular entity in the plurality of messages;
detecting whether the particular entity has a presence on each of a second plurality of online sites, wherein the particular entity has a presence on an online site when the particular entity has an account registered at the online site;
computing a second presence score quantifying credibility of the particular entity based on how many of the second plurality of online sites the particular entity is present on;
detecting an amount of activity that the particular entity conducts on each online site of the second plurality of online sites that the particular entity is present on;
computing a third engagement score quantifying credibility of the particular entity based on the amount of activity that the particular entity conducts on each online site of the second plurality of online sites that the particular entity is present on;
presenting an overall credibility score derived from the first sentiment score, second presence score, and third engagement score, the overall credibility score quantifying overall credibility of the particular entity; and
providing at least one of (i) a suggested sentiment action for responding to a message of the plurality of messages expressing negative sentiment towards the particular entity in order to increase the first sentiment score and (ii) a suggested presence action for partnering with a new entity that the particular entity does not yet have an established partnership with in order to increase the second presence score; and
adjusting the overall credibility score in response to at least one of (i) a change to the first sentiment score effectuated by performance of the at least one suggested sentiment action and (ii) a change to the second presence score effectuated by performance of the at least one suggested presence action.

Abstract
Some embodiments provide a credibility system including an interface portal for presenting a holistic view of entity credibility. To provide the holistic view, the credibility system aggregates credibility data from multiple data sources. The aggregated credibility data is processed and ordered to present different dimensions of entity credibility, with each dimension graphically presented in the interface portal through an interactive credibility module. In some embodiments, the credibility data associated with each credibility module is processed to produce at least one value that quantifiably represents the credibility data. In some embodiments, the credibility data associated with each credibility module is hierarchically ordered to present the credibility data in a drill-down fashion with each hierarchical layer presenting more detailed credibility data for better understanding the credibility data presented in the preceding layer.

11. For a credibility evaluation system comprising at least one server with a processor and non-transitory computer-readable memory, a computer-implemented method for assessing credibility of a plurality of different entities, the computer-implemented method comprising:
-
identifying network partnerships established by a particular entity, wherein a network partnership links the particular entity to at least one other entity; computing a network sentiment score based on the quality of network partnerships established by the particular entity; computing a network presence score based on a number of partnership requests received by the particular entity from other entities; computing a network engagement score based on a number of followers following network activity of the particular entity; deriving a credibility score for the particular entity based in part on the network sentiment score, the network presence score, and the network engagement score; presenting the credibility score to quantify the credibility of the particular entity; providing at least one suggested action for partnering with a new entity that the particular entity does not yet have an established network partnership with in order to increase the network sentiment score; and adjusting the overall credibility score in response to a change to the network sentiment score effectuated by performance of the at least one suggested action. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
