Abstract: Merchants are classified according to their reliability in shipping purchased products when promised. A merchant trustworthiness evaluator (MTE) automatically gathers data from users about purchases online from a merchant, including an order identifier and an estimated ship date. In one embodiment, the MTE collects data from customers about their purchases through the use of a conversion pixel, transmitted to the customer by the merchant at the time of purchase. The MTE obtains shipment information from the merchant or shipment carrier once an order has been shipped. The MTE correlates the shipment data with the order data and compares for each order the estimated or promised and actual shipment dates. The MTE scores merchants and classifies each merchant based on its score. Merchant classifications can then be provided to prospective customers.

Abstract: A shipment origin location for a product purchased by a customer is predicted. A merchant evaluator receives information from a user about a purchase transaction completed by the user with a merchant for a product, including the user's location. When the product is shipped, the merchant evaluator receives tracking information about the shipment. The merchant evaluator determines from the tracking information a point of origin for the shipment and updates its records to reflect the shipment origin point for that merchant and product, given the user's location. As the merchant evaluator compiles similar data for many products shipped by many merchants to many destinations, the merchant evaluator develops a searchable index, enabling a prediction to be made about a shipment origin point for a particular product from a particular merchant, given the location of the user ordering the product. A time-in-transit prediction can also be made.

Abstract translation: 预测客户购买的产品的出货原始位置。 商家评估者从用户那里接收关于用户用商品完成的购买交易的信息，该商品包括用户的位置。 产品发货时，商家评估人员收到关于货物的跟踪信息。 商家评估员根据跟踪信息确定出货的起点，并更新其记录，以反映该商家和产品的出货原点，并根据用户的位置。 由于商家评估者将许多商家的许多产品的类似数据编译到许多目的地，所以商家评估者开发可搜索的索引，使得能够针对来自特定商家的特定产品的出货原点进行预测， 用户订购产品。 也可以进行时间转换预测。
