US Patent 9135329 Presenting item information based on associated entity relationships

Systems and methods are provided for presenting item information to a user based on entity relationships. The items may be presented, for example, in response to a search request or as a recommendation of an item of potential interest to a user. In some embodiments, item information associated with a first item of interest to a user may be retrieved from a data store. A first entity related to the first item may be determined based on information retrieved from the data store. A second entity related to the first entity may then be determined, and a second item related to the second entity may be identified. Information identifying the second item may then be presented as a recommended item to the user.
