Abstract

Systems and methods for providing improved recommendations are disclosed. In some embodiments, the systems and methods may be used for vehicle recommendations. The system may include a server system configured to receive user historical vehicle preferences, user vehicle preferences, generate weighted feature data sets, and apply a similarity model to the generated weighted feature data set in order to determine a vehicle recommendation data set. A visual representation of the vehicle recommendation data set may then be provided to an interface associated with a user.

First claim

We claim:

1. A method for displaying improved vehicle recommendations comprising:
providing, by a server system communicatively coupled to a user computing device on a user interface of the user computing device, a plurality of vehicle selections;
determining, on the user computing device, user vehicle preference data based on user interaction with the provided plurality of vehicle selections in a user session;
transmitting, the determined user vehicle preference data to the server system;
receiving, from the server system, varied vehicle recommendation data comprising a plurality of vehicles each having a different vehicle make and vehicle model combination, wherein the varied vehicle recommendation data is generated by generating a weighted feature data set having weights based on the determined user vehicle preference data, applying a similarity model, and applying a variability filter; and
displaying, on the user interface, a visual representation of the varied vehicle recommendation data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining user vehicle preference data based on user interaction with the provided plurality of vehicle selections comprises providing at least one of vehicle and vehicle features to a user of the user computing device and receiving user selections of preferred vehicle or vehicle features.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining user vehicle preference data based on user interaction with the provided plurality of vehicle selections comprises tracking user browsing history on the user computing device.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the browsing history includes at least one of vehicles or vehicle features previously browsed by a user using the user interface.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining user vehicle preference data comprises providing a user with a questionnaire regarding user vehicle preference data.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the visual representation comprises at least one of profiles, charts, and digital flip books.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user computing device comprises instructions to perform operations comprising:
determining user interaction with the displayed visual representation of the varied vehicle recommendation data;
generating updates to the weighted feature data set;
transmitting the updated weighted feature data set to the server system;
receiving from the server system an updated varied vehicle recommendation data; and
displaying a second visual representation on the user interface including the updated varied vehicle recommendation data.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface is optimized for display on the user computing device by displaying a subset of the varied vehicle recommendation data in accordance with relevancy.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface comprises a panel configured to display the determined user vehicle preference data.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface comprises detailed vehicle information for any vehicles selected from the displayed visual representation.

11. A system for providing an interface for a computing device to convey improved vehicle recommendations, the system comprising:
at least one memory storing instructions;
a server system configured to generate a visual representation of varied vehicle recommendation data; and
a user computing device including at least one processor configured to execute instructions to:
provide, by the server system communicatively coupled to the user computing device on a user interface of the user computing device, a plurality of vehicle selections;
determine, on the user computing device, user vehicle preference data based on user interaction with the provided plurality of vehicle selections in a user session;
transmit, the determined user vehicle preference data to the server system, wherein the server system is communicatively coupled to the user computing device;
receive, from the server system, varied vehicle recommendation data comprising a plurality of vehicles each having a different vehicle make and vehicle model combination, wherein the varied vehicle recommendation data is generated by generating a weighted feature data set having weights based on the determined user vehicle preference data, applying a similarity model, and applying a variability filter; and
display, on the user interface, a visual representation of the varied vehicle recommendation data.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions to determine user vehicle preference data comprises instructions to provide at least one of vehicle and vehicle features to a user and receiving user selections of preferred vehicle or vehicle features via the user interface.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions to determine user vehicle preference data based on user interaction with the provided plurality of vehicle selections comprises tracking user browsing history on the user computing device.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the browsing history includes at least one of vehicles or vehicle features previously browsed by a user of the user interface.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions to determine user vehicle preference data comprises instructions to provide a user with a questionnaire regarding user vehicle preference data.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the visual representation comprises at least one of profiles, charts, and digital flip books.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the user computing device comprises instructions to:
determine user interaction with the displayed visual representation of the varied vehicle recommendation data;
generate updates to the weighted feature data set;
transmit the updated weighted feature data set to the server system;
receive, from the server system, an updated varied vehicle recommendation data; and
display a second visual representation of the updated varied vehicle recommendation data.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the user interface is optimized for display on the user computing device by displaying a subset of the varied vehicle recommendation data in accordance with relevancy.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the user interface comprises a panel configured to display the determined user vehicle preference data.

20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the user interface comprises detailed vehicle information for any vehicles selected from the displayed visual representation.
