A method of comparing products is disclosed. The method includes selecting a first configuration (which represents a first product with a first attribute), selecting a second configuration (which represents a second product with a second attribute), and displaying the first attribute and the second attribute. The first attribute is defined in the first configuration and the second attribute is defined in the second configuration. The first and second products may be, for example, vehicles of some sort.

Method and apparatus for product comparison

A computer system provides product selections to a user according to a needs analysis. A database stores pre-generated product configurations and product configuration information. The product configuration information includes product features and product rules governing allowable combinations of the product features. Received product related data can include different types of information such as attribute information and product identifier information. The received product related data is processed to determine the type of received information. If the type is attribute information, the received product related data is filtered in accordance with the product configuration information and one or more product configurations that meet requirements of the received attribute information is identified. If the type is product identifier information, one or more of the pre-generated product configurations that corresponds to the received product related data is identified. Each identified product configuration and each identified pre-generated product configuration is provided to the user.

Method and apparatus for sorting products by features

A method of comparing products is disclosed. The method includes selecting a first configuration representing a first product with a first attribute, selecting a second configuration representing a second product with a second attribute, and displaying the first attribute and the second attribute. As will be noted, the first attribute is defined in the first configuration, and the second attribute is defined in the second configuration.
