Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système permettant de présenter de la marchandise à un acheteur potentiel via un réseau de communications. En l'occurrence, une pluralité d'acheteurs peuvent avoir accès au système pour prendre connaissance d'informations fournies par une pluralité de détaillants agissant de concert avec une pluralité de fabricants. Chaque acheteur, détaillant et fabricant dispose d'un ordinateur personnel pourvu d'un logiciel de communication (22, 23, 24). Chacun d'entre eux communique avec des serveurs (18, 19, 20) via une liaison de communication (21). L'information qui est accessible à un acheteur est déterminée conjointement par des gabarits fabricants (12, 13) et des bases de données détaillants (10, 11). En outre, cette information inclut de la publicité électronique. Les gabarits spécifient le format de l'information alors que les bases de données déterminent la disponibilité et le contenu de l'information.
