1 illustrates at least one terminal 20, a plurality of Electronic Commerce Servers (ECSs) 12A, 12B, 12C and remote electronic distance servers 12 that are remote from the terminal 20. A diagram schematically illustrating an electronic commerce system including a network 14 connecting the terminal 20 to any one.

In this example, the terminal 20 comprises a communication interface (I / O) 22 for connection to the network 14; A user interface 24 comprising a display 26 and a user input device 28; A processor 30; And a memory 32. The processor 30 is connected to receive data from the network 14 via the communication interface 22 and to provide data to the network 14 via the communication interface 22. The processor 30 is also connected to write to the memory 32, read from the memory 32, receive command signals from the user input device 28, and provide command signals to the display 26.

The processor 30 controls the operation of the terminal 20 and is itself controlled by computer program instructions read from the memory 32. For example, the memory 32 stores browser application data 34, and the browser application data 34 is marked-up when the terminal 20 is suitable when loaded into the processor 30. language) allows you to act as a web browser. For example, the memory 32 stores 'wish-list' application data 36 and the 'wish-list' application 36 is loaded in the processor 30 when Allows the terminal 20 to manage and display a 'wish-list' of potential purchases. The processor 30 may simultaneously provide the browser application and the 'wish-list' application.

Although a preferred embodiment of the terminal 20 has been described so far, it should be understood that multiple processors may be used in place of a single processor and in the alternative, the processor 30 may be incorporated into dedicated or programmable integrated circuits. Can be replaced.

The terminal 20 is typically a hand-portable electronic device or computer, such as a personal digital assistant (PDA) or cellular mobile phone. Typically, the network 14 includes the Internet and the e-commerce servers 12 each include one or more that enable a user to browse through a plurality of web-pages to make on-line purchases. Web-servers that support Extensible Markup Language (XML) or Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) web-sites.

If the terminal 20 is a cellular mobile phone, the network 14 includes a cellular mobile phone network but may also include the Internet. In this example, the communication interface 22 is a radio cellular transceiver. The e-commerce servers 12 may be located in a mobile telephone network or the Internet. The e-commerce servers 12 may also be optimized for mobile commerce or m-commerce. Such optimized server 12 may include one or more wirelessly generated languages that each allow a user to browse through a plurality of simplified web-pages and to make on-line purchases through the user's cellular mobile phone. Wireless Markup Language (WML) or imode web-sites.

The 'wish-list' application organizes and displays a list of potential purchases 50.

The list 50 reminds the user of what he or she wants to buy and the place he or she wants to buy and provides easy electronic access to perform the purchase through the network 14.

The 'wish-list' application centralizes storage of information identifying potential purchases that can be purchased from different servers 12 and accessing the different servers 12 to make such potential purchases. Maintain the list 50 which centralizes the storage of information for the purpose.

The list 50 includes a sequential list of the plurality of displayable entries 59. Each entry 59 relates to potential purchases from a remote location and includes at least price information 55 for the potential purchases and an address 53 for accessing the remote location. Typically, the remote location is a web-site and the address is the URI of a page in the web-site displayed as a selectable hyperlink.

2 shows an example of a list 50 when displayed on the display 26. The list 50 is a party of the graphical user interface for the 'wish-list' application that allows potential purchases to be made.

In this example, the list 50 is arranged in N rows and M columns of arrays of data entry fields where each row corresponds to one entry 59. Each entry 59 relates to a single potential purchase of an item or items from a particular remote web-site.

In this example, each entry 59 includes the name 51 of the item to be purchased; A description 52 of the item to be purchased; A hyperlink 53 to a web-site for purchasing the item; Quantity 54 to be purchased; And five fields (ie, M = 5) including price information 55 and currency type information 56.

For each entry 59, the fields 51-59 are filled with data obtained from a web-site promoting the potential purchase associated with such entry 59, as described below. Each entry 59 may have one or more additional fields that are filled in manually by the user. For example, for each potential purchase there may be a column of fields that indicates who the purchase is for. This option can be used to indicate whether a potential purchase is a gift for someone else or a suitable gift for yourself.

Other information that may be required for the purchase, such as shipping address information, gift-packaging options, and the like, is typically stored or entered when making a purchase at a retailer, e. Alternatively, however, the wish-application may store the shipping address of the user and cause the stored shipping address of the user to be provided through the browser application when an item is purchased through the list 50.

In the case where the terminal 20 is a cellular mobile phone, the user selects the user selectable option 57 (if present) and the list 50 as a multimedia messaging service (MMS) message. Can also be sent to.

The list 50 may be stored as a single data structure 60 such as a database. This data structure 60 may be stored as part of the 'wish-list' application data 36 in the memory 32 of the terminal 20 or in the 'wish-list' application data 36 in the memory 32. It can be stored as a logically separate entity to the. The advantage of storing the list 50 in the terminal 20 is that the list 50 is available for viewing even when the terminal 20 is disconnected from the network 14.

Alternatively or additionally, and as illustrated in FIG. 1, the data structure 60 may be stored in a memory 70 of a remote host server (RHS) 72. This advantage is that the list 50 is available for viewing via third parties or other means than the terminal 20. Thus, friends of the user can access the remotely stored list 50 to purchase a gift for the terminal user. In this case, it is appropriate to have additional fields in the list 50. One such field is a privacy field and the other is a gift field. The privacy field prevents such an entry from appearing when a third party sees the list 50 when selected for entry. The gift field, if selected, indicates that the item is a suitable gift purchase for the terminal user.

Alternatively, instead of two fields, if selected it indicates that the item is a suitable gift purchase for the terminal user and if it is not selected for an entry, such entry does not appear if a third party sees the list 50 above. A single gift field may be provided.

The list 50 may be personalized. The user can add, remove or edit an entry in the list 50 manually via the 'wish-list' application and using the user input device 28. The list 50 may also be updated via the browser application. For example, an entry may be added to the list 50 and the entries in the list 50 may be automatically removed.

As a simple example, a user may use the browser application to copy information from an e-commerce web-page and paste it into a list 50 displayed by the 'wish-list' application. It may be necessary to copy such data separately for each field of the new entry. Manual text entries can also be used to fill in fields.

As another example, the browser application may include the ability to control the update of the list 50 and to automatically copy data from the web-page into the relevant field of an entry in the list 50.

Automatic copying of data may be fully automatic if the copy is made automatically without the user taking a dedicated positive action and initiating the dedicated positive action, and only if the user takes a dedicated positive action It may be semi-automatic if a copy is made automatically only after taking the dedicated affirmative action and initiating the dedicated affirmative action, such as selecting a user selectable 'update wish list' option in the application.

3 shows a representative example of a graphical user interface (GUI) of a suitable browser application. The GUI 100 includes a toolbar portion 102 and a display portion 104. The toolbar portion 102 includes an address bar 110 that displays the URI of the web-page currently displayed in the display portion 104. The toolbar portion also includes a plurality of user selectable options, which are represented in this example as individual user selectable widgets (buttons 112). One of these buttons 112 'provides a user-selectable' update wish list 'option in the browser application.

As one representative example, a user may

a) by accessing the web-site, for example by entering the URI of the web-site in the address bar 110 of the browser GUI 100;

b) by selecting a hyperlink to the item to be purchased from the display portion 104 of the GUI 100;

c) by adding the item to a dedicated shopping cart of a web-site, for example by selecting a suitable icon in the display portion 104 of the GUI 100;

d) by looking at the dedicated shopping basket of the web-site without making a purchase; And

e) By selecting the "Update Wish-List" option 112 'in the toolbar portion 102 of the GUI 100, data may be stored in the list 50 semi-automatically.

Typically, the shopping cart has a plurality of entries in which one entry is for each potential purchase.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, in response to selecting the “update wish-list” option 112 ′, the browser application 110 issues a request 111 to host a current web-page on the remote server. To 12.

The server 12 interprets the request 111 and sends a response 113 in a predetermined format. The response 113 includes a data structure 115 for each of the entries in the dedicated shopping cart. Each data structure 115 includes at least price information about potential purchases corresponding to such an entry.

For example, each data structure 115 may include a name 151 of the item to be purchased, as illustrated in FIG. 5; A description 152 of the item to be purchased; A hyperlink 153 to the web-site for purchasing the item; Quantity 154 to purchase; And a plurality of fields including price information 155 and currency type information 156.

The data structure 115 may include Extensible Markup Language (XML), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Wireless Markup Language (WML), or Comma Seperated Values; Certain standardized formats such as CSV).

An example of a response 113 from a web-site with two entries in a dedicated shopping cart of the web-site is the first and second data structures 115a and 115b.

The data structure 115a is in CSV format and

"Express Finnish", "Book",

www.amazon.com/shoppingbasket/user#123456789/contents.htm,"1","14.95","USD "

Indicates.

The data structure 115b is in CSV format and

"Math for Dummies", "Book",

www.amazon.com/shoppingbasket/user#123456789/contents.htm, "1", "14.95", "USD"

Indicates.

The browser application 110 sends the received data structures 115a and 115b to the wish-list application 120. The wish-list application 120 automatically creates a new entry in the list 50 for each data structure received. The fields 51-56 of the new entry 59 in the list 50 are obtained from the respective fields 151-156 of each data structure 115 received. Thus, a new entry 59 is created in the list 50 for each entry in the dedicated shopping cart and the information in the list 50 for that entry comes from the shopping cart.

The data structure 114 may not include a field 153 for a hyperlink to the web-site. In this case, the value for the field 153 is obtained from the contents of the address bar 10 of the GUI 100 of the browser application 110.

In the example mentioned above, the web-site has a dedicated shopping basket. If the web-site does not have a dedicated shopping cart, the user may,

a) by accessing the web-site, for example by entering the URI of the web-site in the address bar 110 of the browser GUI 100;

b) by selecting a hyperlink to the item to be purchased from the display portion 104 of the GUI 100; And

c) By selecting the 'Wish-List Update' option 112 'in the toolbar portion 102 of the GUI 100, data may be stored in the list 50 automatically.

As one representative example, a user may

a) by accessing the web-site, for example, by entering in the URI of the web-site in the address bar 110 of the browser GUI 100;

b) by selecting a hyperlink to an item to purchase from the display portion 104 of the GUI 100;

c) by adding the item to a dedicated shopping basket of a web-site, for example by selecting a suitable icon in the display portion 104 of the GUI 100;

d) by looking at the dedicated shopping basket of the web-site without making a purchase; And

e) By escaping the shopping basket, data can be stored in the list 50 fully automatically.

The escape of the shopping cart is detected by the browser application 110, which in response sends a request 111 to the server 12. Thus, the escape of the shopping cart in a fully automatic browser application is equivalent to selecting the " wish-list update " option 112 'in the semi-automatic browser application. Thus, the semi-automatic browser application requires a selectable 'wish-list update' option 112 'while the fully automatic browser application does not require a selectable' wish-list update 'option 112'.

By blocking a number of similar entries in the list 50, the wish-list application 120 intelligently removes existing entries from the list 50 corresponding to new entries for the list 50. . When the wish-list application 120 receives new entries for the list 50 from a particular URI, it deletes from the list 50 existing entries associated with that URI via the field 53. do.

Thus, a user can achieve a price update for a particular entry by selecting the link in the field 53 for that particular entry. At this time, the user selects the "Update Wish-List" option 112 'and the entries in the list 50 for such shopping cart are replaced with the updated version. This two-step process may be combined as a macro that is activated when the user selects the 'update' option 58 in the list 50.

Therefore, it can be appreciated that a user can move from an e-commerce site to an e-commerce site and increase the list 50 at each site.

Later, when a particular person wishes to purchase from the list 50, the person accesses the list 50 and selects a link in field 53 for the desired purchase. The browser application 110 then automatically opens in the web-page to purchase such an item. At this time, the user purchases the item by completing a transaction with the remote server 12.

Thereafter, a particular person may return to the shopping cart and select the "Update Wish-List" option, which updates the list 50 and removes the purchased item from the list. Alternatively, the user can manually edit the list 50 to remove the item.

While the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to several examples, it will be appreciated that variations to the given examples can be implemented without departing from the scope of the invention as claimed.

While an attempt has been made to draw attention to those features of the invention which are considered particularly important in the above-mentioned description, what should be understood here is whether any of the patented features mentioned above and / or shown in the figures, whether particularly emphasized or not. Or a combination of features that the applicant wishes to be protected.
