According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A hybrid decision support system and method for recommending a suitable smartphone from a plurality of candidate smartphones is disclosed. The system comprises a data acquisition module configured to collect and preprocess smartphone attribute data, a user preference input module configured to receive user-defined priorities, and a weight generation unit configured to generate a normalized weight vector corresponding to the received priorities. A multi-criteria decision engine processes the weight vector and smartphone attributes to generate a consolidated ranking vector. A machine learning module processes historical product-selection records and smartphone attribute values to generate predictive preference scores. A hybrid integration engine combines the consolidated ranking vector and predictive preference scores to generate a final ranked recommendation. An output module generates a machine-readable recommendation record comprising a recommended smartphone identifier, ranking value, and attribute contribution values. The disclosed arrangement improves recommendation accuracy, adaptability, and consistency in smartphone selection."
