MEDL Mobile Files Patent for Proprietary "Recommendation Engine" Technology
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 20, 2011) - MEDL Mobile Holdings Inc. (
This technology is believed to be the first of its kind in the mobile apps industry, providing mobile users with relevant, custom and intelligent app recommendations based on the user's "mobile lifestyle": mobile habits and interests generated from several data points regarding the individual user. This powerful recommendation engine introduces mobile apps that users did not know existed and stimulates interest and engagement in new mobile apps.
"An intelligent engine like the one we have created, to our knowledge, does not currently exist in the mobile apps space," said Andrew Maltin, CEO of MEDL Mobile. "This engine is expected to be the equivalent to Amazon.com's recommendation engine for the online retail industry, but for mobile apps.
"With millions of mobile apps available in the market on iPhones, iPads and Android devices, users need a simple tool that is easy to use and meets their unique interests. MEDL will transform the mobile apps ecosystem by being first to market with our proprietary technology. There are tens of thousands of fantastic apps that go undiscovered, while a fortunate few continue to dominate the various app stores. This technology has the potential to save mobile apps and mobile app users from this unnecessary monotony."
MEDL Mobile's recommendation engine provides a system and method for characterizing and quantifying a person's interests using a computing algorithm to assign certain lifestyle characteristics and a numerical value to the importance of a particular lifestyle trait. The engine evaluates the usage history of every mobile app by each individual user to evaluate the user's interests. The engine then uses the data to develop a dynamic digital portrait of the user in order to recommend other applications.
The technology is currently incorporated in existing and new MEDL apps and is anticipated to be available in public beta in December 2011.
