SYSTEM FOR GRAPHICALLY DISPLAYING USER-PROVIDED INFORMATION

摘要

Appraisal information associated with one or more topics are collected and provided via a graphically displayed interface. The interface is configured to graphically display descriptive appraisal information (language-based descriptors) and quantitative appraisal information (number-based descriptors) associated with a topic in a two-dimensional field as a semi-ordered perceptual map of choices. Such a choice map represents qualitative assessments of a particular topic in a way that facilitates immediate understanding of the feedback from a large number of end-users.

1. A computer-implemented method of providing information, the method comprising:
receiving a request for appraisal information associated with a topic via an information network; and causing descriptive appraisal information associated with the topic and quantitative appraisal information associated with the topic to be graphically displayed in conjunction with a two-dimensional field that includes a first axis and a second axis, wherein the first axis represents an appraisal scale of the topic with respect to a first metric and the second axis represents an appraisal scale of the topic with respect to a second metric.
