Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system and method for carrying out an appraisal for at least one good/service.
  • a common method of ordering goods and services is for consumers to visit the merchant website, view items, add them to a virtual shopping cart, and then check out using a merchant designed check out flow. Such methods typically require several steps which differ from merchant to merchant. This can be frustrating and inconvenient for consumers.
  • Some payment entity services such as, for example, PayPalTM, Amazon PaymentsTM, Visa CheckoutTM, and MasterCard PaypassTM have attempted to simplify this process by setting up cloud based digital accounts/wallets to carry out requisite transactions.
  • PayPalTM Amazon PaymentsTM
  • Visa CheckoutTM Visa CheckoutTM
  • MasterCard PaypassTM have attempted to simplify this process by setting up cloud based digital accounts/wallets to carry out requisite transactions.
  • these solutions do not normalize the process of browsing and selecting items, and are also exposed to a number of types of fraud attacks.
  • a man-in- the-middle attack can be perpetrated at a merchant whose payment pages have been compromised, whereby instead of redirecting consumers to a cloud based payment solution, consumers are instead redirected to a fraudulent website.
  • Payment information can then be collected at the fraudulent website and subsequently transmitted to the cloud based payment solution, unbeknownst to the merchant, cloud based payment solution, and customer. This stolen payment information can then be used to carry out a fraudulent transaction(s). Fraudulent transactions resulting from such attacks result in billions of dollars of losses for financial institutions. Much of these costs are eventually borne by consumers and merchants.
  • the availability of tablet computers have enabled a new generation of digital ordering solutions.
  • Merchants commonly restaurants, are deploying tablet computer based ordering devices from which consumers may order goods and services when at the premises.
  • the cost of many of such deployments is high since they typically entail costs such as, for example, multiple device purchases, software, staff training, installation, integration, customer support, maintenance and so forth.
  • Many consumers find these devices less intuitive and less desirable compared to traditional ordering.
  • Some of these solutions provide devices that offer self-checkout payment solutions which are typically also not well received by consumers. It is unfortunate if consumers boycott the merchants due to the digital ordering solutions, particularly after the expense laid out by the merchants.
  • Another method of ordering goods and services is by enabling consumers to generate orders by capturing graphical indicia, such as two or three dimensional barcodes which embed information on data representing items and/or locations.
  • graphical indicia such as two or three dimensional barcodes which embed information on data representing items and/or locations.
  • One disadvantage of graphical indicia is that there are typically constraints in order for the graphical indicia to be appropriately captured. For example, capturing three dimensional barcodes (QR codes) requires the reader to be within a certain distance and have minimum lighting conditions.
  • QR codes three dimensional barcodes
  • a second and related disadvantage is that graphical indicia create clutter on menus and catalogs. The combination of these two disadvantages is problematic if the menu is located away from the consumer.
  • a third disadvantage is that many consumers dislike/are averse to scanning graphical indicia. Common consumer complaints include, for example, not knowing how to scan such indicia, confusion as to which mobile app to use, not being able to appropriately
  • NFC near field communication
  • the total number of ratings for X users across Y items is a product of X and Y, which grows exponentially as X and Y increase. Each of these ratings may need to be recalculated with each new rating input. This can result in marginal costs becoming greater than marginal revenue. In addition, marginal processing time may become longer than acceptable latency to users, making personalized ratings difficult.
  • Another shortcoming relates to how existing rating systems do not provide sufficient granularity to easily differentiate top rated items.
  • On a typical 5-star rating system using a single decimal for presentment of ratings there are only 11 rating categories for items with a high rating from 4.0 to 5.0, and this is especially problematic if there are millions of items in a category, e.g. books or restaurants.
  • a 5-star rating system may present its results with three decimals, thus creating 5000 possible rating scores. However, the more detailed rating is not necessarily statistically significant.
  • asking users to rate items on a 5000 point scale will lead to fewer and less consistent ratings.
  • Ordering apps typically accept credit cards as their main form of payment instead of physical currency. Handling physical currency typically adds additional steps/inconveniences/vulnerabilities to transaction processing. However, some users prefer to use physical currency due to long established behavioral habits and are reluctant to embrace full cashless payments.

  • the method and system can be carried out for a desired merchant in a situation where a user carrying out the appraisal need not be using a device connected to the Internet.
  • the appraisal for the at least one good/service is also carried out in a manner which is less subjective and more equitable.
  • the method can be performed at least in part using one or more electronic processing devices which form part of a user device, such as mobile phones, portable computers, tablet computers, wearable devices, or the like.
  • the user device is typically also in communication with a merchant device and a central server.
  • the merchant device can also be, for example, mobile phones, portable computers, tablet computers, wearable devices, point-of-sale devices, kitchen appliances or the like.
  • the central server can be administered by an entity administering to ratings of respective merchants/goods/services (rating entity).

  • a payment system which may include a number of processing devices associated with each of an issuer, acquirer, stored value payment system, card network and payment gateway, or alternatively, the payment system may be any one or more of these entities and this will be discussed further below.
  • payment is carried out using conventional non-cashless, handing over of currency type of processes. It should be noted that the handing over of currency can be carried out as either an advance payment, or upon completion of a requisite task/service.
  • merchant can be used to refer to a group of merchants, whereby the merchants in the group can be associated by, for example, having a common owner, providing similar goods/services, being part of an alliance, and so forth.
  • the one or more electronic processing devices initiate a request for a good/service into an application provided by the rating entity.
  • the request can include data to identify a specific good/service from a merchant, for example, a serial/item number of a good, a merchant ID providing the service, a name of the good/service, any combination of the aforementioned, and so forth.
  • initiating the request is dependent on a graphical user interface of the application provided by the rating entity (rating application).
  • the rating entity can partner with one or more entities to provide the application.
  • the graphical user interface may be a website, web portal and so forth.
  • the user can key in respective IDs, can select respective goods/services from a list, can choose an image representing the good/service and so forth.
  • the good/service ID can also be determined from, either one dimensional barcodes or two dimensional barcodes. In such instances, images of the barcodes are captured using an image capturing device of the user device.
  • the application is integrated into a third party application, for example, applications provided by the user’s banking institution or by a retailing entity.
  • the one or more electronic processing devices transmit at least one request for the good/service which was input at step 110.
  • the at least one request can be akin to the user making an order for the desired good/service such that a merchant will be informed of what the user desires to purchase.
  • the user will be informed via the application if the order for the good/service cannot be fulfilled by the merchant, which can be helpful in minimising disappointment for the user as the user will be able to seek out another merchant who provides the desired good/service, and/or which can also allow a change for the order.
  • the one or more electronic processing devices initiates a payment request such that the desired good/service can be paid for by the user. This can be carried out either before or after consumption of the desired good/service by the user.
  • the payment can be carried out using cashless processes, such as, for example, by using the digital wallet(s) of the user, whereby funds are credited to the merchant's account digitally for consumption of the desired good/service by the user.
  • the digital wallet application can be provided by a third party, such as, for example, MasterPassTM, AppleTM Pay, GoogleTM Pay, or the like.
  • the application can incorporate a stored value account functionality, which provides the user with access to, for example, a proprietary stored value account, bank accounts, prepaid instruments, PayPalTM accounts, AlipayTM accounts, and so forth.
  • the payment can be carried out using conventional non-cashless, handing over of physical currency type of processes.
  • the payment request (processed by the central server) can include both a request for payment amount by the user, and a request for an acknowledgement of receipt by the merchant. In this regard, once the payment request is appropriately processed, the merchant is able to receive payment for providing the user with the desired good/service.
  • the central server then transmits the funds to the user electronically. It should be appreciated that this timely payment to the merchant is advantageous in relation to loss of takings due to dishonesty amongst staff of the merchants, and the prompt payment for the good/service provided by the merchant also aids in maintaining a positive cash flow for the merchant.
  • step 140 processing is carried out of the at least one request so as to determine a vote allocation for the user.
  • the vote allocation depends on many aspects, for example, the user's spending behaviour, the user's social media influence, the user's activeness on social media, and so forth.
  • Other aspects being considered include, for example, aggregation of transaction counts, transaction amounts, merchant counts, merchant amounts, merchant category counts, merchant category amounts, item counts, item category counts, item amounts, item category amounts, transaction category counts, transaction category amounts, frequency of transactions, regularity of transactions, payment type, transaction status (rejected, refunded), instances of participating in reviewing/rating/ranking/connecting/referring/following/upvoting/liking a good/service, merchant, contributing media (a photo, a video, and/or a sound recording), and so forth.
  • Determining the vote allocation for users aids in preventing biased ratings and unequitable ratings. For example, a user who is more familiar with a particular sort of cuisine (more transactions for meals of the particular sort of cuisine) will have a higher vote allocation for that particular sort of cuisine as the user would be considered to be an expert in the particular sort of cuisine, so the higher vote allocation would be advantageous in ensuring that the users are unlikely to be unaware of what they are voting for.
  • vote allocation includes applying different weights based on demographic data, and/or collaborative filtering. In some embodiments, the voting allocation is also based on a categorisation of the user.
  • Scoring of the votes can include using placed vote data to calculate a count, rank, percentile, weight, rating, grade, award, medal, tier, and/or a proprietary rating.
  • the users when the users participate in voting, the users are provided with recognition for participating in voting.
  • provision of the scoring of the votes is restricted only to some users.
  • incentives like reward points, promotional pricing, and the like are provided to users to incentivise them to provide votes, so that there is a wide base of voters and high numbers of votes which aid in normalizing the scoring of the votes.
  • ratings of the at least one good/service are determined based on aggregation of votes, whereby a wide base of voters and high numbers of votes aid in normalizing the scoring of the votes, correspondingly providing a reliable voting score for the at least one good/service.
  • embodiments of the present invention aid in minimising disappointment for the user as the user will be able to seek out another merchant who provides the desired good/service during instances of a shortage of the desired good/service.
  • Embodiments of the present invention are also able to minimise loss of takings due to dishonesty amongst staff of the merchants, and also aids in maintaining a positive cash flow for the merchant.
  • determining the vote allocation for users aids in preventing biased ratings and unequitable ratings.
  • incentivising users to provide votes also leads to a wide base of voters and a high numbers of votes which aid in normalizing the scoring of the votes, correspondingly provides a reliable voting score for the at least one good/service.
