The patent filed by Kia Corp describes a method for comparing vehicles based on user questions and propensity tests. The method involves determining user propensity, calculating vehicle compatibilities, and selecting a reference vehicle based on user propensity and vehicle characteristics. Additionally, when considering factors like vehicle depreciation rate and maintenance cost, the method provides purchase information comparing the reference vehicle with a higher trim or model. The system collects user information, determines user propensity, calculates vehicle compatibilities, and provides purchase information based on user considerations.
The method further includes clustering user propensity groups, calculating vehicle compatibility factors, determining depreciation rates, maintenance costs, and installment amounts for reference and target vehicles. It also considers user self-consciousness levels and provides comparison information accordingly. The system can adjust calculations based on whether vehicles are scheduled for discontinuation, reflect used car selling costs, and factor in new model price increase rates. Overall, the method and system aim to assist users in making informed decisions when comparing vehicles based on various factors like depreciation rates and maintenance costs.
