Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 コンピュータ化された見積りシステム及び方法 発明の分野 本発明は、全体的には買い手会員と売り手会員によるコンピュータ基底通信ネ ットワークを形成するコンピュータ化されたシステムに関し、ネットワーク会員 又はその代理人からの商品及び/又はサービスに対する見積り要求を処理し、ネ ットワーク会員のコンピュータ基底通信ネットワークを経て買い手と販売人をリ ンクさせ、コンピュータ化されたシステムにより確立されたフィルタ条件と同様 な、買い手及び/又は販売人のフィルタ条件に従って、ネットワーク会員間のリ ンケージを選択的に制御する手段を有する。フィルタ条件はネットワーク販売人 が買い手の見積り要求を受ける条件を決める。より詳しくは、本発明は、ネット ワーク会員間でコンピュータ基底通信ネットワークを形成するコンピュータ化さ れたシステムに関し、ネットワーク会員により設定され選択されたフィルタ条件 に基づいて、このようなネットワーク会員間の通信リンケージを制御するフィル タ手段を有し、本システムではネットワーク会員からの1つ又はそれ以上の見積 り要求を満足させる。 背景技術 商品及びサービスを必要とする買い手は、しばしば、適切な売り手を捜し出す ために著しい時間を費やす。買い手は、売り手を捜し出すために、売買出版物、 住所氏名録、推薦状、その他を使用する。もし、必要な売り手のタイプが外国で あれば、問題は複雑である。売り手は種々のメディアを介して、又はダイレクト 販売方法によ り宣伝広告し、潜在的な買い手に対して、何を販売し如何にしてコンタクトする かを知らしめる。一度、一人の買い手が幾つかの売り手を特定すると、各々は、 品物又はサービス価格及び入手情報を得るためにコンタクトする。これは時間を 費やす方法であり、会社は通常、達成するために経験のある購買スタッフを頼み にする。さらに加えて、買い手が過剰な在庫品を時間毎に商わなければならない 時は、買い手は、ブローカーその他に通知し、他人行儀な電話をし、商わなけれ ばならない。これらの方法は多くのビジネスにおいて費用も時間も要するもので ある。 従来の技術では、コンピュータ化されたショッピングシステムを開示しており 、このシステムは、幾つかの種類の買い手により申し出された商品及びサービス について中央データベースを採用している。申し出された商品及びサービスにつ いての情報は中央に格納されこの中央に保持される。中央のデータベースシステ ムにて維持されかつ更新されるべき情報の量は、限定した形式又は商品及びサー ビスの数又は提供可能な売り手の数等で制限される。このようなシステムでは、 全ての標準的な商品及びサービスにアクセスし、世界的に全ての供給者にアクセ スを提供することは実行不可能である。現存するこのような中央データベースに 対して、格納されるべき情報の量は、現状を保つ仕事であるとしても恐ろしいも のである。中央データベースシステムが、世界中の如何なる売り手からの莫大な 変化に富んだ商品及びサービスについてタイムリーに引き合いを受け、買い手の ニーズを満足させることは実行不可能である。このような理由から、現存する中 央データベースシステムは、商品及び価格が表示される1つ又は幾つかの売り手 により作成され維持されている。これらのシステムは売り手による買い手の選択 を必然的に制限する。 これらのシステムは、1つの会社又は供給者の組合により所有される電子的な スーパーマーケットに類似する。このようなシステムでは、売り手はその商品及 び/又はサービスのデータベースを買い手に供給し、買い手は売り手のデータベ ースから項目を注文する。それはあたかも売り手の店に出掛け、売り手の役に立 つ在庫から項目を選択することに類似する。他のシステムはモールにおけるショ ッピングに類似する。この場合、幾つかの(互いに補完し合う)売り手は、個々 のデータベース又は役立つ商品又はサービスの組み合わされたデータベースを介 して、買い手に対して集まった在庫品を提供するために結合する。さらに他の現 存するシステムでは、主たる販売人、例えば、保険代理店は、代理店が代理人で ある保険配達人から買い手の割増し見積りを提供することを申し出る。 このような全ての場合において、特定の商品又はサービスに関する買い手の要 求に応答する売り手は、サービス提供者か、又はそのサービス提供者が他の事業 関係、例えば、共通の出版物における広告社又は加入した保険運搬人、に含まれ る売り手である。これらの選択された売り手は、買い手に対して製品とシステム により供給された価格情報を提供する。これらのシステムは、システム会員にな ることを欲するいずれか売り手からの無制限な数の商品及びサービスの申し出に 対して所定の容量を持たない。これは、製品やサービスや売り手についての情報 を含む非現実的な大きさの中央データベースを必要とする。各売り手はその製品 ラインについての中央データベースに詳細な情報を提供することを要求される。 従って、現存のシステムは、商品、サービス及び売り手の選択を制限された、非 常に特殊化された電子的サービスである。加えて、タイムリーに過剰な在庫品を 商いたい買い手は、その目的のためにこれらのシステムを使用できない。 本発明は、電話及び放送技術の間での交差に類似する。これは、現存の方法に て要求されるような中央化されたコンピュータデータベースを介して動作する確 たる構成なしに売り手に関係するために、買い手に対する機会を創造するという 差である。 発明の開示 本発明は、コンピュータ基底通信ネットワークを形成するコンピュータ化され たシステムであり、商品及び/又はサービスの見積り要求を処理するもので、こ のような要求を、従来の伝送媒体上、例えば、コンピュータ化されたシステムが 接続されたインターネット上で、コンピュータ化されたシステムのネットワーク 会員に放送するものである。商品、価格、等の中央データベースは含まれない。 代わりに、買い手は見積り要求を規定に従って作成し、その要求をコンピュータ 化されたシステムに送信し、買い手及び/又は販売人及び/又はネットワーク操 作員により設定されたフィルタ条件に基づいて、見込みのある販売人に対して、 1つ又はそれ以上の特定の標準製品の見積り要求を放送する。フィルタ条件に適 合した販売人の応答は、通信ネットワーク上か、他の入手可能な通信手段を介し て見込みのある販売人に通信される。これの応答は見積りシステムにより処理さ れ、要求した買い手に提出される。 本発明の方法は、ネットワーク会員によるコンピュータ基底通信ネットワーク を形成するコンピュータ化されたシステムを介して、商品及び/又はサービスの 買い手又は供給者からの商品及び/又はサービスの見積り要求を処理し、ネット ワーク会員はコンピュータ化されたシステムとともに買い手と供給者をリンクし 、コンピュータ化されたシステムはオペレーティング・システムのソフトウェア を含む少なくとも1つの中央処理ユニットを持ち、中央処理ユニッ ト及びネットワーク会員の識別を含む記憶手段を制御し、本発明の方法は、コン ピュータ化されたシステムを備え、通信ネットワーク上で、買い手の見積り要求 を受け、買い手や売り手やネットワーク会員により設定されたフィルタ条件に基 づいて買い手の見積り要求を受けるために1つ又はそれ以上の適切な売り手を選 択し、通信ネットワーク上で選択された売り手に対して買い手の見積り要求を送 信し、又は役立つものを作成し、選択された売り手はこれらの見積りを買い手に 直接通信し、又は役立つものを作成し、又は受けた見積りを要求した買い手に送 信するコンピュータ化されたシステムに通信する。 本発明のコンピュータ化されたシステムはコンピュータ基底通信ネットワーク を形成し、コンピュータ化されたシステムとともに少なくとも1つの中央処理ユ ニットを介して商品及び/又はサービスに対する見積り要求を処理し、コンピュ ータ化されたシステムは、オペレーティング・システムのソフトウェアを備え、 中央処理ユニット及び適切な識別及びネットワークの会員情報をを含む記憶手段 を制御し、中央処理ユニットに見積り要求を送信する製品及び/又はサービスの 潜在的な買い手のための手段を備え、選択されたネットワーク売り手会員に見積 り要求を選択的に放送し役立つものを作成する中央処理ユニットのための手段を 備え、要求した買い手に直接応答し又は中央処理ユニットに応答する売り手会員 のための手段を備え、そして要求した潜在的な買い手に中央処理ユニット売り手 見積りから役立つものを作成し送信する手段を備える。 図面の簡単な説明 以下の詳細な記載は、添付の図面に関係した以下の記載を参照することにより 適切に理解することができる。

図4は、本発明の見積りシステムの実施形態を示すために配置された仮想的な 中央オフィスに売り手及び買い手をリンクするデータフロー図である。 図5及び図6は、全てのフィルタ条件が合わされ、所定数の売り手の応答が要 求した買い手に戻されるように、見積り要求を処理するロジックを示す。 図7は、ネットワーク上で経路化されるべき見積り要求を作成するため使用す る任意の仮想的なリストである。本発明の見積りシステムネットワークを介して 相互作用するために、買い手及び売り手に対して適切なデータ構成の一例である 。 図8は、見積り要求の仮想的な例を示す。 発明の詳細な説明 本発明は、コンピュータ化されたシステムのネットワーク会員に対して商品あ るいはサービスに対する見積りの要求を流す買い手又は売り手からのこれらの要 求を処理するための交信ネットワークに基づいたコンピュータを形成するコンピ ュータ化された見積りシステムである。商品およびサービスの買い手および売り 手の数を制限する、あるいは処理され得る商品およびサービスの数を制限する中 央価格データベースは存在しない。しかし、買い手がなにを要求しているか、売 り手が買い手に何を提供しているのかに関して混乱が ないことを確実にするために、商品およびサービスは標準品でなければならない 。図1は、交信ネットワークとしてインターネットを使用して構成される本発明 に係るシステムを示している。 ネットワーク会員はアプリケーションを完了することによってユーザとして登 録されたすべての自然人あるいは法人であり、本発明に係るコンピュータ化され たシステムによって提供されるサービスを使用する買い手及び/又は売り手であ ればよい。ネットワーク会員がネットワークに作用することを可能とするプログ ラミング(例えば、インターネットHTMLページ又は見積りシステムを具備す るソフトウエア)は、見積りの要求においてネットワーク会員が識別することを 望む標準商品あるいはサービスを識別するに十分な情報を含むであろう。商品あ るいはサービスの記述の標準化は、仕様に向けられた一層の説明が商品あるいは サービスの形式に対して適当でないかぎり、混乱を避けるために本質的である。 従って、プログラムされたメニュー情報は、商品あるいはサービスが商業的に周 知され識別されるように、商品あるいはサービスを機能区分及び製品に対応した サブ区分に分割されたカテゴリに区分けするために具備される。このようなメニ ューは、商品あるいはサービスの製造者あるいは提供者から提供される新しく、 かつ改定された商業的に可能な商品あるいはサービスを含むために容易に更新さ れる。買い手は、売り手によって明確に理解されるような見積りの要求を準備す るためにこの情報を使用する。この製品、他の情報およびプログラミング又はソ フトウエアは、ユーザのパーソナルコンピュータへの直接的電子伝送、あるいは コンピュータディスク、コンパクトディスクまたは他の適当な手段上の情報、ソ フトウエアまたはデータの提供によってネットワーク会員に対して使用可能とさ れる。ネットワークユーザに対する標準化された情報の提供は、他のシステム補 修機能の中における買い手及び売り手に対する商品及びサービスの識別の関係を 示すために必要である。図4は、本発明のインターネット実施例の中で情報がど のように流れるかを示す。見積りシステム中央オフィッスは、インターネットサ イトHTMLページ及びHTMLワールドワイドウエッブサーバとの交信による 他の必要なアイテムを補修するであろう。これは、会員に対するウエッブサイト 要求だけでなく見積りに対する要求からダウンロードされる。中央オフィッスは 適当なソフトウエアを介してRFQ(見積り要求)を処理し、売り手が中央オフ ィッスFTPサイトに接触することを待機する。売り手は、見積りシステムによ って使用される製品リストと連結するために彼らの目録を参照するために見積り システムに供給されるソフトウエアを使用する。接続されたとき、中央オフィッ スは適当な売り手ソフトウエアを介して要求され売り手の製品データベースから 利用可能なRFQを獲得する。売り手が特売に関する情報を準備したときには、 この情報はこの時に中央オフィッスに伝送される。ソフトウエアの改造およびリ ストの更新も同様に実行される。FTP伝送が完了したときには、中央オフィッ スは買い手の要求に対するRFQ電子メールを準備し、求めに応じてこれを伝送 する。 新しい売り手は会員に対して見積りシステムのワールドワイドウエッブ応用フ ォームの使用、あるいは他の方法による見積りシステム事務所との接続を適用す る。買い手会員は、見積りシステムのワールドワイドウエッブサイトにアクセス し、会員に適用し、又は価格見積りあるいは取引刊行物探索エンジンまたは見積 りシステムのウエッブサイトを介して提供される製品の価格対時間の統計学的チ ャートのような他の可能な情報を要求する。 新しい会員は、申込者が正しい電子メールの同格者と規定される ことを確実にするために電子メールを介してパスワード情報を受信する。 本発明は、売り手、販売者およびネットワークコンピュータの間の交信がネッ トワークを使用して達成される図2の流れ図に関連する以下の望ましい実施例の 説明から容易に理解されるであろう。ワールドワイドウエッブホームページは、 インターネット会員によるネットワークへのアクセスを提供するために設定され る。能力を有するユーザは、あらゆる標準的なウエッブブラウザを使用してイン ターネットにアクセスし、それ自体に必要なデータを提供する登録アプリケーシ ョンを完了することによって見積りネットワークユーザとなる。いったん登録さ れると、会員は以下により詳細に説明される見積り要求(“RFQ”)を準備す るために必要なフォームにアクセスすることが可能となる。次にRFQはインタ ーネットウエッブサーバに対するファイル転送プロトコル(FTP)接続を介し て見積りシステム中央オフィッスコンピュータにダウンロードされる。 そしてRFQは、RFQ上での見積りが可能であり、要求している買い手によ って設定される外のすべての条件(例えば、言語、通貨、売り手の所在地)を満 足する売り手を選択するために処理される。さらに、売り手はある種のRFQの 受信を回避するために、見積りシステムに彼らの好みを登録することによってあ る種の見積りから彼ら自身を「除外」するかもしれない。売り手及び買い手のフ ィルタは、供給者及び/又は買い手の区分を定義する最も簡単なフォーム中に表 現され、販売及び/又は購入の条件を線引きするために拡張するかもしれない。 RFQ中及び/又は応答中に含まれる制限又は条件は、本発明の目的に対して、 フィルタ情報または単に「フィルタ」として定義される。見積りシステムによっ て実行される フィルタリングは、単に、RFQが与えられた、及び/又は応答が与えられたネ ットワーク会員の制限を含むだけかもしれないし、あるいはより複雑な選択処理 かもしれない。売り手の選択の処理の一部は見積りシステム商売配置及び他の配 慮を含む。この例は、売り手に公式に従って売り手の優先度付けを要求するサー ビスの区分の変更を提供する。このように、彼らが選択したサービスの区分によ って、売り手は、見積りシステムによって受信された所定の会員から彼らが受信 するRFQの百分率を決定するかもしれない。図5及び図6は、所定のRFQに 対する売り手選択を達成するためのフィルタ条件を処理するための例示的なロジ ックを示す。図7は、RFQデータパケットを完成する仮定の買い手及び売り手 情報項目を示す。 一旦、売り手がRFQsを受信するために選択されると、RFQ情報はインタ ーネット上でFTPを介して彼等に送信されるが、しかしながら好ましい方法は 、売り手にソフトウエアを提供して、彼等がその見積もりシステムと通信したい 時間をスケジュールすることを可能とする事である。この場合、売り手側のソフ トウエアはFTPを介してインターネット上で見積もりシステムと接触し、見積 もりシステムは売り手側の商品データベースに質問し(売り手の商品目録を見積 もりシステム商品およびサービスリストに結合しあるいは相互参照するための適 切なソフトウエアを使用して)、さらに価格およびRFQに応答するために必要 なその他の情報を検索し;さらにその後要求している買い手会員に送信すべき電 子メールを用意する。図8は、買い手に電子メールするべきRFQデータの可能 な一配列を示す。この例において、1993年8月1日迄の配達に対して、Oh miteによって製造された5、000個のOHOO6−2000656型のJ レジスターに対して見積もり要求を送信 している。買い手は配達の日付が確定していることを示している。RFQ日付、 追跡番号および商品コードのようなその他の情報も示されている。この場合、送 り手は、この見積もり要求が、米国ニュージャージー州内の売り手にのみルート されるべきであることを特定している。図8の下側は、例えばAcme Sup ply社からの応答を、価格、コンタクト情報、配達および、“以前の販売に従 って、商品目録からボックあたり1000発送する”ことを示す売り手の注意書 きと共に示している。電子メールはHTMLページとして構成され、かつ買い手 のブラウザによってHTMLとして、直接または見積もりシステムによって提供 されるアプリケーションヘルプ用のソフトウエアを介して読み取られる。買い手 にHTMLタイプの電子メール見積もりを提供することの利点の1つは、見積も り中にハイパーテキストリンクを見積もりに関するデータと共に埋め込み、その 結果買い手が見積もりHTMLページから直接、応答のオプションを選択するこ とが可能であることである。このオプションとは、電子メールの購買注文が売り 手に対して送られ、かつ例えば見積もりシステムと共にファイル上の買い手のク レジット情報を見積もり商品のクレジットによる購買を自動的に有効とするため に使用することを要求することである。その他の例として、FTPを介してまた は見積もりシステムのワールドワイドインターネットサイトを通して、買い手に 見積もりを提供することが含まれる。あるいは、買い手と売り手間の通信は、電 話、電子メールまたはその他の手段が可能である。 クレジット購買が、買い手が配達を受け取りかつ受理したことを運送会社から 確認した上での売り手の支払いを条件とする場合、運送会社もこのプロセス中に 含まれる。見積もりシステムは買い手のクレジットを照合し、購買注文およびク レジットコードを売り手に 通知する。売り手が荷物を関与した運送会社を使用して発送し、買い手がその品 物を受け取った場合、運送会社はその配達の受理を見積もりシステムのコンピュ ータに、または直接クレジットのプロバイダに通信し、資金を買い手の口座に開 放することを許可する。これは国際的な商取引において特に有用である。 上記の例は買い手と売り手および見積もりシステムコンピュータ間の通信ネッ トワークとしてインターネットを使用しているが、その他のコンピュータ通信装 置も同様に使用することができる。更に、見積もりコンピュータシステムは通信 ネットワーク上で1個のノードを使用して全ての機能を実行することも出来るが 、すべてのネットワークユーザにサービスするために多くのサイトで複数のノー ドを持つ事も等しく適切である。図1は、2つのこのような見積もりシステム中 央コンピュータを示す。この場合、全てのノードは、ユーザ情報とその他の機能 の完全なルートを実行する為に、要求された通りに相互通信する。 見積もりシステムコンピュータは図4に、“中央オフィス”として概略的に示 され、情報を一時的に記憶するためのランダムアクセスメモリ、コンピュータコ ンフィグレーションと基本的なオペレーションコマンドの永久的な記憶のための リードオンリメモリ、周辺機器の接続のための入出力アダプターおよび既知の入 力およびインターフェース装置を含んでいる。ディスプレイアダプターとディス プレイ装置によって視覚的な出力が提供される。ネットワークコンピュータは1 個またはそれ以上の中央処理ユニットによって制御され、このユニットは一般的 なマイクロプロセッサおよびシステムバスによって組み込まれたその他の多くの ユニットを含んでいる。何らかのオペレーションシステムがコンピュータ内に組 み込まれている。買い手と売り手のコンピュータタイプの装置に対するプログラ ミングは、買い手と売り手がネットワーク上で売りたいと希望する数多くの品物 およびサービスに対して適切であり、かつ新しい品物およびサービスが現れかつ 古いものを廃止するに伴って変化すべきである。 図3は、売り手が品目を“販売品”として見積もりシステムの買い手に提供す るためのプロセスをブロック図で示す。この場合、買い手がその商品またはその カテゴリを見積もりシステムに対して同定し、あるいは同定した場合であって、 かつ売り手が“販売品”の提供を通信したいと望む買い手のクラス中にその買い 手を含むフィルタ条件を定義した場合、買い手はその販売を通知される。 受益者のクラス限定は、大組織でかつその組織以外の会員を排除して通信する ために使用する。例えば、大会社では従業員を除いて特別セールを提供すること がある。あるいは、一般のユーザが慈善あるいは慈善に係わらず利益団体を除い て商品の寄付を申し出る事もできる。 本発明のプロセスは、買い手がネットワークに適合する見積もり要求(RFQ )を用意した時に始まる。買い手は、その要求を受け取る売り手クラスの定義を 、付加的にあるいは予め用意しておく事ができる。要求あるいは複数の要求は見 積もりネットワークコンピュータに電話通信され、その後、ネットワークソフト ウエアともしあれば売り手の要求あるいは条件に一致した売り手の特定のクラス にルートされる。定義されたクラス中の売り手は、見積もりのための買い手要求 に応答し、さらに買い手は応答した売り手から購買することができる。特定され たクラス中の売り手の数は買い手のクラス特定に依存する。例えば、ニューヨー ク州内の電圧計の売り手を特定する買い手は、ニューヨーク市内のみを特定した 場合よりも多くの売り手にアプローチすることが出来る。このようなクラス特定 は、所望の売り手のみが通過する事のできる情報フィルタである。ネットワーク に参加することによって、全ての売り手は世界中の何処に位置しているかに係わ らず、潜在的なクラス会員となる。更に、売り手は、例えば要求が少なくとも1 0、000個以上に対して、または特定の製造者によって製造された品物に対し てで無ければならないと言う、売り手が特定したクラスの見積もり要求以外の見 積もり要求を排除するように選択することも出来る。コンピュータ化されたシス テムは、例えば買い手および/または売り手によって選択されたサービスのタイ プを反映するために、フィルタを加えることも出来る。ネットワークコンピュー タのフィルタは、買い手の場所からの売り手の距離に基づいて、買い手の要求を 時間配列によってルートする事が出来る。これは、売り手に最も低い発送コスト で買い手に対してより速いアクセスを提供し、かつより遠距離の売り手が既に受 信したものよりもさらに競争力のある見積もりを提供しそうに無いことをその応 答が示している場合、その要求をさらなるルートすることをキャンセルする機会 を、買い手に対して提供することができる。 売り手がネットワーク上で見積もり要求の受信を希望する場合、売り手は、そ の売り手が扱う商品またはサービスのクラス(“見積もりクラス定義”)をネッ トワークに通知する。これは、音声、電話、ファックス等或いはその目的に対し て用意されたプログラミングを使用して通信することが出来るが、しかしながら 好ましい方法はネットワークによってその目的に対して用意されたプログラミン グを使用することである。見積もりクラス定義に対する要求はネットワークに送 信され、このネットワークはその定義を使用して売り手に対して、即ちその売り 手が会員である買い手によって定義されたクラスに対して、ルートされた全ての 見積もり要求をフィルタす る。この方法において、売り手は、見積もり定義に対する売り手の要求に合致し た見積もり要求のみを受信する。見積もりの要求を受信するクラス内の売り手の 数は非常に大きい。プロセスを管理し易いように維持するために、見積もり要求 を受信する売り手の数を限定するようにネットワークソフトウエアを構成するこ とができる。 本発明を使用する事によって、電子部品の見積もりを要求したドイツのフラン クフルトに所在するネットワーク会員である買い手が、カルフォルニア州Cup ertinoおよび日本の京都に住む、以前には未知であったネットワーク会員 から、数分以内に見積もりを受信することができる。 適切な場合、プログラミングによってそのユーザーはネットワークユーザから の応答を受信しそれを見直しかつそれに返答する事が可能となる。ネットワーク ユーザの要求に応答するために、プログラムを種々のタイプの要求に対して特別 に設計することができる。ユーザは、買い手および/または売り手でもありうる 。ユーザが何かを買おうと望んだ場合、見積もり要求を用意するプログラミング を、ユーザのコンピュータまたはコンピュータに類似の装置上に呼び出す。ユー ザーが何かを売ろうと望んだ場合、見積もりクラス定義に対する要求を、その目 的のために用意されたプログラミングを用いて用意する。主に買い手であるユー
