1. A method for generating a composite rating about a first user, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of ratings about the first user from a plurality of second users, each of the ratings associated with a transaction between the first user and one of the second users;
classifying, using at least one processor, the first user based on a number of the transactions;
determining the second users that submitted the ratings from the received plurality of ratings that satisfy a pre-determined profile, the pre-determined profile being in accordance with the classification of the first user;
adjusting the ratings from at least one of the second users that satisfy the pre-determined profile and which exceed a specific rating on a ratings scale comprising a lowest value rating and a highest value rating; and
generating the composite rating about the first user using the adjusted ratings and remaining ratings from the received plurality of ratings.

Abstract
Systems and methods to display content are described. In some embodiments, program content is received from a content source. A method identifies product-related metadata associated with the program content where the product-related metadata includes at least one item displayed in the program content. The program content is communicated to a display device for presentation to a user in a first portion of the display device. The product-related metadata is communicated to the display device for presentation to the user in a second portion of the display device.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
calculating a contribution amount of specific ratings from a second user to all ratings from a plurality of second users, wherein the ratings from the plurality of the second users pertain to a performance metric of a high volume first user and the specific ratings are ratings having a particular value from a ratings scale and wherein the calculating of the contribution amount comprises calculating the contribution amount of the specific ratings from more than one of the second users with the highest counts of the specific ratings; in response to the contribution amount exceeding a threshold value, changing a count of the specific ratings from the second user to an another count; and calculating a composite rating for the performance metric of the first user based on the another count of the specific ratings and the ratings of the remaining second users. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system comprising:
-
a non-transitory storage device including a plurality of feedbacks about a first user from a plurality of second users, each of the feedback associated with a transaction between the first user and the one of the second users; and a computing device in communication with the storage device and configured to; classify the first user based on a number of the transactions, determine the second users that submitted the feedbacks that satisfy a pre-determined profile, the pre-determined profile being in accordance with a classification of the first user, adjust the feedbacks from at least one of the second users that satisfy the pre-determined profile and which exceed a specific rating on a ratings scale comprising a lowest value rating and a highest value rating, and generate a composite feedback about the first user using the adjusted feedbacks and remaining feedbacks in the storage device.
