==GENERATING REPLACEMENT QUERIES FOR ALTERNATE LISTINGS WITH DESIRED ITEM ATTRIBUTES - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18519794 titled 'GENERATING REPLACEMENT QUERIES FOR ALTERNATE LISTINGS WITH DESIRED ITEM ATTRIBUTES

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract of the patent application describes a system where a server receives a query from a user account, but the initial query value is rejected. The server then identifies a second item listed by a different user account with a shared attribute with the first item, and provides a replacement query to the second user account.

* The server receives an initial query with a rejected query value from a user account.
* The server identifies a second item with a shared attribute with the first item.
* A replacement query is provided to a different user account.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in e-commerce platforms to improve search results and recommendations for users based on shared attributes between items.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of rejected query values by substituting them with relevant items that share common attributes.

== Benefits ==
- Enhanced user experience by providing more relevant search results.
- Increased user engagement and satisfaction with the platform.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Optimizing search algorithms in e-commerce platforms for better user experience and increased sales.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of collaborative filtering algorithms in recommendation systems to suggest items based on shared attributes.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

A server receives an initial query that identifies a first item listed by a first user account and an initial query value for the first item. The server provides the initial query to a first computing device associated with the first user account and receives a first response to the initial query from the first computing device. The first response indicates a rejection of the initial query value. In response to the rejection, the server identifies a second item listed by a second user account. The second item includes a shared attribute with the first item. The server substitutes the initial query with a replacement query that identifies the second item and the initial query value for the first item. The replacement query is provided to a second computing device associated with the second user account.
