Characteristic-based selection in a networked computing environment
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for characteristic-based item selection in a networked computing environment, comprising:
- populating at least one computer storage device with a first set of items, the first set of items being a plurality of user items that are associated in the at least one computer storage device with a first set of corresponding characteristics;
generating, for each item in the first set of items, a compatibility score with respect to each other item in the first set of items, each compatibility score including a numerical representation of a compatibility of a first user item with a second user item;
generating a first computer data structure of the first set of items having the compatibility scores of the first set of items to one another;
receiving, in the at least one computer storage device, a second set of items that correspond to the first set of items, the second set of items being a plurality of retailer items that are accompanied by a second set of corresponding characteristics;
generating, for each item in the second set of items, a compatibility score with respect to each other item in the second set of items, each compatibility score including a numerical representation of a compatibility of a first retailer item with a second retailer item;
generating a second computer data structure of the second set of items having the compatibility scores of the second set of items to one another;
merging the first computer data structure with the second computer data structure to yield a merged table; and
generating a set of matches between the first set of items and the second set of items based on the merged table.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to an approach for characteristic-based (e.g., color) selection of items (e.g., clothing) in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). Specifically, at least one computer storage device will be populated with a first set of items. The first set of items may be associated in the at least one computer storage device with a first set of corresponding characteristics. A computer data structure may then be generated that comprises compatibility scores of the first set of items to one another. A second set of items may then be received in the at least one computer storage device. The second set of items may also be accompanied by a second set of corresponding characteristics. A set of matches between the first set of items and the second set of items may then be generated according to one or more criteria.
