ONLINE AUCTION ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION TOOL

摘要

In a computer system, online auction data is retrieved by an auction analysis application program to generate recommendations for buying and selling auction items to auction participants. The auction participants may be either auction buyers or auction sellers. Profile data and auction item historical data associated with one or more auction participants is collected at the computer system from an auction website over a communication network. An output is then generated based on the profile data and the auction item historical data. The output may include recommendations for an auction seller and an auction buyer which may be utilized to increase sales of an auction item and to obtain a lowest price for an auction item.
