Abstract

A dynamic comparison module implemented as a program executing on a server (e.g., a web server) can dynamically compare multiple products having a variety of standard and optional features. Information passed to the dynamic comparison module typically includes a target product identification (representing the main product to be compared) including the target product's configuration (e.g., optional equipment, features include) and one or more competitor product identifications. The identification can be as simple as product model number, or can include specific optional desired features, as might be chosen by a user configuring the target product. The dynamic comparison module examines how the target product is configured, via the target product information, and any standard product information from a product feature database. The dynamic comparison module will then determine what product feature categories are included, and use the category information to assemble comparably equipped competitor products for comparison. A comparison report is generated and returned to a user.
