Definitions

  • Embodiments of the present method and system generally relate to a flexible, computer-implemented system for conducting bartered or barter transactions.
  • Barter or trade is a powerful tool that represents a solution for companies with available inventory or services. Most companies have surplus inventory, unsold goods, and unused labor. For instance, a hotel doesn't sell out every room on a daily basis and airlines don't typically fill each seat in the plane on every trip. Magazines may barter to fill advertising space. Restaurants use "barter” as a way to increase business during slow periods. Manufacturers may barter products to make space for new inventory.
  • Barter tool or barter is very useful as obtain a lot of benefits are possible through Barter Exchange, because for example:
  • the object of the present invention is thus to meet the needs outlined above by providing a barter system that solves the above problems.
  • the present invention also relates to a barter method as well as to a computer program product loadable in the memory of at least one computer and including software code portions for performing the steps of the method of the invention when the product is run on at least one computer.
  • a computer program product is meant as equivalent to the reference to computer readable medium containing instructions for controlling a system so as to coordinate execution of the method according to the invention.
  • Reference to "at least one computer” is meant to highlight the possibility for the method of the invention to be carried out in a decentralized manner over a plurality of computers. Claims are an integral part of the teaching of the present invention.
  • the barter method provides barter members through a Barter Organization of a plurality of tools arranged for requesting the Barter Organization to access at least one type of barter market on the web, making available products and/or services, receiving credit guaranties and corresponding barter credits having consecutive serial numbers by the Barter Organisation, the barter credits being stored in a computer medium, listing and/or displaying on the web the products and/or services and barter credits corresponding to a value determined by the products and/or services, taking place on the web to bartered transactions by selling or buying products, acquiring the barter credits as the products and/or services are sold on the web, and using the barter credits for buying further products and/or services on the web.
  • the barter method is implemented in a computer system comprising at least one server storing a common operating system and a software package arranged for managing the bartered transactions, at least a common Data Base, and a plurality of layers having each layered access protection for communicating each other and to the common Data Base.
  • This system which consists of active sectors in the different field of construction and industry would bring them to be in connecting together, and help each other to fulfill their needs for raw material, machinery and land.
  • each member depending on the value of the asset he brings in would receive barter credit from the barter management for the same amount, and can do all of his transaction by the means of credit instead of cash. Therefore a member can increase its credit by selling to the market, and can decrease its barter credit by purchasing from the market.
  • inventor has devised a comprehensive technological scheme for the establishment of such a Bartered Transactions Market. That scheme is also applicable in the country's other economic organs, such as the municipalities in any city (under the proposed name of the Barter Market), at the Stock Exchange Market (under the possible title of the 'Capital Provision Barter Market'), and at the other financial and economic organizations and foundations in any country.
  • a barter system 10 for implementing a barter market through a barter method is provided by an architecture based on layers.
  • the system 10 comprises a common operating system 100, associated to a software package including a plurality of program modules, a plurality of layers communicating each other and a common Data Base 105.
  • the common operating system and the associated software are stored in a server.
  • layers comprise a user interface layer (first layer) 110, a business facade layer (second layer) 120, a business logic layer (third layer) 130 and a data access layer (fourth layer) 140.
  • the fourth layer is configured for accessing the common Data Base 105.
  • Each layer preferably, comprises layered access protection.
  • the software package is web-based and, therefore, as easily comprehensible by a technician in the field, is easily transferable over separate servers if there is a need to launching new bartered markets.
  • program modules are associated to the common operating system 100 for implementing the barter method.
  • a first step 210 ( Fig. 2 ) the barter method is arranged for operating:
  • Such a step comprises one or more of the following steps implemented, for instance, by corresponding modules stored in the system and arranged for
  • a second step 220 the barter method is arranged for operating:
  • Such a step comprises one or more of the following steps implemented, for instance, by corresponding modules stored in the system and arranged for - confirmation of the information provided by the membership applicant and for defining the type of his/her memberships by the system managers; - storing the applicant's information at the software; - editing the stored information and the type of membership, for registering it at the system, and for issuing an invoice for the new member's membership charge; - issuing the needed permit for allowing discounts in issuing a Proforma on the basis of the type of membership and a related tariff chart; - printing the completed membership forms, in whose completion the software modules has contributed by choosing the membership type, the name and full identifications of the applicants, the related tariffs and the charges to be paid for bartered transactions, the validity period of the contract, and the contract number automatically; - when the contract gets signed by the applicant, the information provided by the member would be loaded and activated on the information dissemination section and an ID certificate would be issued for him by the software modules as follows: Rea1 entity ID Form (Document
  • a third step 230 the barter method is arranged for operating
  • Such a step comprises one or more of the following steps implemented, for instance, by manual operation and/or software modules stored in the system. Keeping in mind that each member of the barter market is required to present bonds to be bartered, the process of evaluating the presented bonds (by the member in a bid to receive money orders) takes place fully manually and relying on cooperation of banks, or insurance companies, none of the details of this process is recorded in the software.
  • Bond Registration Form Member's Code: Credit Guarantee No.: Date of Issuance: Issuing Bank: Value: Type of Credit Guarantee: Expiry Date: Credit Guarantee's details: Bond's details: - registering charges paid to experts that evaluate the bonds as "spending" at the software, although they are not calculated by it.
  • a fourth step 240 the barter method is arranged for operating
  • Such a step comprises one or more of the following steps implemented, for instance, by corresponding modules stored in the system and arranged for - registering a series of money orders that have still not been allocated to any certain member serially in one group. Those money orders would thus gain a group code number, used both in their delivery and in their transfers; - delivering money orders to the certain member (member) equal to the credit guarantee amount.
  • the full identifications of the money orders delivered to the member are registered at the system in a form as follows: Credit allocation form to members Receiving Member's Code: Money Order No.: From Serial Number: To Serial Number: Total Amount: Date of Delivery:
  • the amount of each money order or barter credit is thus saved in an exclusive dossier.
  • the preferred embodiment is also controlled to make sure that the amount of the allocated money orders or barter credits equals the amount of the credit guarantee (guarantee), and does not exceed it.
  • guarantee has an overdue date that should be a month after the overdue date of the money order, whereby the system checks that, too.
  • a fifth step 250 the barter method is arranged for operating
  • Such a step comprises one or more of the following steps or operations implemented, for instance, by corresponding modules stored in the system.
  • a second step 250-2 the following operations are conducted: 5.2 -
  • the two sides of the transaction (buyer and seller), after depositing the bartered deal's charges, deliver its bank receipt to the Transactions Registration Department.
  • the Transactions Registration Department enters the bank receipt's identifications in the software, gets two approval documents for the buyer and the seller, and delivers the documents to them, as follows: Bartered Charge Payment Confirmation Bill (For Buyer)
  • Buyer's ID Code Date of Payment: Membership Type: Amount of Transaction: Cash Amount: Money Orders
  • Amount Bartered Transaction Charge: Bank Name & Account Code: Stamp and Signature of Transactions Registration Dept.
  • Document's Computer Code Financial Department Code: Bartered Charge Payment Confirmation Bill (For Seller) Seller's ID Code: Date of Payment: Membership Type: Amount of Transaction: Cash Amount: Money Order Amount: Bartered Transaction Charge: Bank Name & Account Code: Stamp and Signature of Transactions Registration Dept. Document's Computer Code: Financial Department Code:
  • a third step 250-3 the following operations are conducted: 5.3 - After payment of the service charges by both sides, namely the buyer and the seller, the software enables the person in charge at the Transactions Registration Department to do the transfer operations of the money orders or barter credits from the name of the buyer into the name of the seller. Then the system would issue the transfer confirmation document as follows: Subject Name & ID Specifications Membership Type Identification Code Service Charge Payment Bank Bill No.
  • the barter method is also shown in more detail in Fig. 3 , in order to better clarify operation thereof already presented.
  • the barter method according to present invention further comprises a plurality of ancillary program modules useful to implement ancillary functions useful to the maintenance of the barter system.
  • ancillary program modules are programs developed during the barter system design phase and preferably stored in the system server.
  • the ancillary functions comprise the following functions, that, for the sake of simplicity are numbered as a sequence of previous steps:
  • the system would present, by means of program modules, a bill as follows for fine payment: List of Member's Violations Membership Code Membership Type Member's Name Series Violation Code Date of violation Extent of violation Payable Amount Violation Details Total Amount Payable from Bank Account Code Bank Name: Transaction Registration Official's Signature & Stamp
  • the side expenses offered to the members by the Bartered Market including advertisements' charges, websites' designing, expenses of publishing books by the market's Publications Department, banner costs, etc, may be calculated by applying a tariff chart, by means of specialised program modules Member's Identification Code Row Cost Title Department Name Amount Date Total Payable Amount Registration Department Official's Signature & Stamp
  • the software developed during the design phase of the barter method and system comprises a set of program modules usable by the Market's Financial Affairs Department for creating a debit and an accredited account for each member; such a set of program modules records the members debts to the system and to other members, and the amounts due to be paid to that member by them.
  • Such a set is useful, because at the time when a member is clearing off his account with the market, both of those accounts should be empty. Also, the total amount of each member's debts and credits should be equal to the amount of his transactions at the market.
  • a set of program modules usable by the Market's Financial Affairs Department is provided that establishes a debit and an accredited account for the Management of the Bartered Market. Inside those two accounts the system, automatically, registers the entire debts and credits of the market to and from the members.
  • financial reports can be obtained from the software in a number of ways. They include, for example:
  • the software is equipped with alarm and warning systems that issues written warnings in below mentioned situations to market managers, as for instance:
  • 13.1 - Modules are provided for categorising goods, services, and real estate properties presented at Barter Market: This section is exclusively for the use of junior experts commissioned to supervise over the groups of presented goods, services, and real estate properties at the Barter Market. Such experts are either staffers of the Middlemen's Department or those of the Commerce Department. They can define the various groups of goods, service, or real estate properties presented at the Market. For instance, the goods are categorised maximum up to three levels in tree diagrams and the members can define their presented goods and services at the 2nd and 3rd levels, but not at higher levels.
  • 13.2 - Modules are provided to Search and declare presented goods, services, and real estate properties:
  • the software provides the possibility for the Commerce Department and the Middlemen's Department managers to focus on a certain group of goods, and to present in a single list the entire group of buyers and sellers in that group.
  • the Commerce Department can decide about presentation of a good, a service, or a real estate property, or the demand for each, at one group, or at a number of related groups at the site simultaneously in a bid to propagate for them optimally.
  • the software enables the Commerce Department to clarify in which group, or groups the goods, services, or real estate properties presented by a member are located.
  • the Commerce Department can exclusively declare the presentation of a certain good by a member, or one demanded by another, at purchase, or sales sections of the site, or to inform the other members by sending them emails, or entering negotiations with them aimed at harmonising the buyers with the sellers.
  • Modules are provided, for example, to launch a tender mechanism for a certain commodity including at least in part the below mentioned possibilities:
  • Modules are provided for granting various licenses for the members and users of the system, such as the Market's various middlemen and the managers to have dynamic observation over information alterations, or deletions in the system, keeping in mind, as already disclosed, the various accessibility levels, up to the level of information records.
  • the system is designed in a dual usage mode.
  • a first usage mode is merely for the management or the financial and accounting departments, the members' access to such information is possible exclusively after obtaining the Market Management.
  • a second usage mode is directed to have rapid service rendering within the Market's Central Administrative Organisation, whereby such information needs to be active on the Intranet of the organisation. Therefore the software is designed and launched in two separate levels.
  • a first level is put on the Internet, and is inclusive of information on the members and their goods, as well as the Market events.
  • a second level is put on the Intranet. No part of the information on members' financial and accounting statuses are put on the first level.
  • the second level of the software is inclusive of the financial and accounting services for the Market members and the entire records on their payments and transactions. This section is merely activated on the Intranet of the organisation.
  • the standard for the flow of information between these two parts of the system is based, for instance, on the XPM Web Service and the entire exchange of information is controlled by the software.
  • Other languages and tools used for implementing the barter method comprise, for instance:
  • the software modules are stored on the system 10, preferably in a central server.
  • Barter system further to provide a barter method for implementing a barter market, comprises a set of program modules arranged for managing system resources and users.
  • system management tools arranged for defining or organising:
  • the system comprises Members' Affairs management tools arranged for defining or organising:
  • the system also comprises Goods Management tools arranged for defining or organising:
  • system comprises Buying & Selling tools arranged for defining or organising:
  • the other way to acquire barter credit for the newcomer is to wait initially for the sale of his/her goods; acquire barter credits for them as they get sold, and buy the good he/she needs using those barter credits.
  • All the above functions may be used, for instance, by means of the first step 210 of the barter method already disclosed.
  • Any real or legal entity wishing to buy, or sell goods, services, or real estate properties can become a member of the Bartered Transactions Market and get involved in deals at it.
  • the above function may be used, for instance, by means of the first step 210 of the barter method already disclosed.
  • Money orders and/or barter credits are the documents of the barter transactions. They meanwhile serve as the means for paying the price of the deals and have the guarantees of the market management, as well as an authentic insurance company, or a bank that ensures their being cashed on, or after their overdue dates. Meanwhile, when a deal is conducted between a seller and a buyer, the buyer pays the cost of the goods he/she buys, using money orders, and not cash, and the seller, too, accepts those money orders, in accordance with the trade laws and receives barter credits. These money orders or barter credits are the authentic documents in all bartered transactions that take place at this virtual market.
  • First Method Any real or legal entity, after becoming a member of the Bartered Transactions Market, can present valid guarantees to the Market Management and obtain barter credits equal to the amount of those guarantees, with which they can purchase goods, services, or real estate properties. They can then during the due course of the time return the market's in-use barter credits to the Market Management and clear off their accounts.
  • Second Method If a member would present his/her goods, services, or real estate properties at the Bartered Transactions Market, he/she would receive an equal amount to their value at the time of their sale from the buyer. In that case he/she is not obliged to provide any guarantees for receiving those barter credits.
  • This invention is a broad and diversified virtual scene for presentation and purchasing of many types of goods, services, and real estate properties; for instance the disclosed barter method may be applied to different type of barter markets, as for example to a "Middle East Barter market or Egyptian Barter market” functioning in a certain area, to a “Urban Development Barter Market” functioning exclusively in the field of civil engineering and building constructions, and to a "Bartered Transactions Capital Provision Stock Exchange” functioning in a certain market; such three market types may play complementary roles for one another.
  • the existence, for instance, of these three bartered transactions markets gives impetus to the companies to present their shares at the "Bartered Transactions Capital Provision Stock Exchange" more heartily and with greater certainty.
  • the Market Management charges both sides of any bartered transaction a certain amount at the time of conducting the deals. Both the Buyers and the sellers, which are all members of the market, are obliged to pay that amount. So long as that charge is not properly covered the management would refrain from approving the authenticity of the money orders and/or barter credits used in that transaction.
  • Any member of the Market can after the expiry of his/her membership period exit from the Bartered Transactions Market. Exiting from the Market has a prerequisite though, and that is clearing the outgoing member's account with the Market Management. Such members have to pay all their debts to the Market and to return all the barter credits they have received or their equal amount in cash to the Management in return for getting back their bank guarantees. Thus, they can totally exit the Market. But if they would choose to renew their memberships at the Bartered Transactions Market for another certain period and continue conducting transactions at it, they would be welcome to do so. All the above functions may be used, for instance, by means of the ancillary program modules of the barter method already disclosed.
  • the barter market implemented by the disclosed barter method advantageously is apt to expand establishment of commercial transactions, as for example international commercial transactions.
  • the barter method on the basis of the program modules developed in the design phase, is arranged for allowing:
