At least one of the product classes has one or more associated product pointers that identify one or more of the databases. The system further includes one or more secondary content directories including one or more classes mapping back to the product classes in the master global content directory and the classes having associated class pointers that identify product classes in the master global content directory. The system also includes a search interface that communicates a search query to one or more of the databases to search product data.

Description

Description of the invention (1) Invention technology The invention relates to the technology of electronic commerce, and more specifically, the invention relates to the generation, update and management technology of a multi-classification environment. Due to the increasing popularity and accessibility of the Internet as a communication medium, the number of transactions in e-commerce (〃e_co_⑽) using the Internet has also increased. At the same time, buyers and sellers participate in electronic market transactions. The quantity also constitutes the square used to conduct such transactions. When the buyer determines the demand for the item, identifies the seller who provides the product, and accesses the seller's website to arrange the purchase of the item Products, most e-commerce transactions occur. If the buyer does not have a better seller, or if the buyer is currently buying the product for the first time, the buyer will often Each seller conducts a search, and then visits the websites of multiple sellers to determine which seller can provide the desired product characteristics to the buyer at the best price and best conditions. Pairing stage a (to make the buyer fully match a particular locker) is often an inefficient process, because it takes a considerable amount of search time to find the product, And because once a specific product is found, it is not easy to compare the summary of various inventions of this product provided by different vendors. According to the present invention, the disadvantages of the previous e-commerce technology can be substantially reduced or eliminated. 2. Description of the invention (2)-In an embodiment of the present invention, the e-commerce system includes one or more lean materials stores, which store product information of one or more products. The system also includes a product structure. A major global content category for multiple product classifications in a one-tier system. Each product classification will be classified for multiple products and will be one or more of those products classified in that product classification. Attributes. At least of the product classifications—the product classifications have one or more associated product indicators that can identify one or more of these databases. The system also includes one or more secondary content directories, It contains one or more product categories that are mapped to one or more product categories in the primary global content directory. Each line in the secondary content directory is associated with the primary global The product categories in the content catalog and one or more associated classification indicators that can clarify the product category = one or more product categories in the main global content catalog. The system also includes a search interface, It may send a search query to one or more of these databases to search for and store product information in the database identified by one or more of these product indicators. A particular embodiment of the invention may provide a Or multiple technical advantages. For example, some embodiments of the present invention will provide one or more secondary content directories that can be linked to a primary global content directory, and may allow users of the e-commerce system to A content directory that is structured and configured to meet the specific needs and needs of one or more of these users. For example, the product classifications in the main global content directory may be structured in ways that are not targeted at specific buyers using the e-commerce system Or the best way to organize your sales. Therefore, a user of the e-commerce system can generate a secondary content catalog with a product category, and the product category is structured to meet the user's 1222584. V. Description of the invention (3: Set requirements and map to the main Product categories in the global content directory. =: The user may have a customized product for the primary global content directory. It will also allow the secondary content directory to be used and used without the need to copy and store in the Vendor information: product: material. Because the secondary content directory is mapped to the main global content item: The index to define product information does not need to be targeted and updated for this sub-system. When a user selects-product input search In the case of the Brother parameter, the vendor database that can be == ::: class: specified in the main global content directory will be performed in an obvious way for the selected category mapping in the secondary content directory. Therefore, the electronic Those who are "business" can easily and use secondary content directories.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment FIG. 1 shows an example system 10, which includes a buyer 20, a seller 30, and a global content directory (global content directory, a network 12 of the GCDH server 40. The system Ί0 can enable e-commerce between the buyer 20 and the seller 30 by using the main GCD 42 supported by the GCD server 40. (" e-commerce ") transactions. The main GCD 42 may be located inside or outside the gcd server, 40. The network 2 includes any public and / or private network that couples the buyer 20, the seller 30, and the GCD server 40. Appropriate combination. In an exemplary embodiment, network 12 includes the Internet, and any suitable local area network (LAN), metropolitan area network that couples buyer 20, seller 30, and GCD server 40 to the Internet. (Man), word. Since the vast majority of buyers and sellers in the world are equal to the Internet, the present invention will potentially include all such buyers and sellers as buyers 20 and sellers associated with the system 10 3〇. However, the use of this term " global tweets should not be interpreted as a major gcd M should provide directory services to buyers worldwide (or in any other region) ^ seller 30 or major GCD 42 content should come from all over the world ( Or from any other specific region). Although the buyer 20 and the seller 3G wire are shown as separate entities, the buyer 20 in a transaction can be another museum 6 and a, and the seller 7 of the other 7 parent companies, and the paper standard applies to Zhongguan Home Standards (CNS) Α · ίΤ ^ 〇χ297mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Order · --1222584 V. Description of the invention (5 is the same. Also the so-called " buyer " or " Vendor " includes an individual, a computer system, an organization, or other appropriate entity. For example, a buyer is planned to independently identify demand for an item, search for products, and Two computers that can purchase the product when an appropriate seller is identified. Although the main description in the present invention is that the purchase and sales actions will clearly describe the appropriate e-commerce transactions. Furthermore, the so-called " product " ^ Goods, real estate, services, information, or any of its appropriate tangible or non-goods. A typical e-commerce transaction includes _ " matching ,, phase fish_ " transaction 阶段 phase. During the matching phase, a buyer 20 searches One or more vendors 30-an appropriate product (representing the subject matter of an e-commerce transaction, real estate, services, information, or any of its appropriate tangible or intangible items), identifying the most appropriate seller 3 (for example, this The action includes identifying the seller who provides the lowest price 30), and contacting the seller 30μ to enter the transaction phase. In the transaction phase, the buyer 20 and the seller 30 can negotiate a contract for the sale of an item ( For example, this action includes clearly defining the subject of the transaction, agreeing a price, and reaching an agreement on supply, distribution, and sales), and produces a legal document containing a contract agreement. In order to match the moon, the main GCD 42 is not necessary. The most appropriate and appropriate seller 30 can be identified, and the buyer 20 must access multiple seller websites to determine which seller 30 can provide the product with a certain desired feature at the best price. The seller 30 may Each provides one or more databases 32 (such as a relational database), which can identify the products and the characteristics of the products that the seller 30 can provide. It will be through the associated seller network Or in any other suitable way to access each database 32. The multiple one-to-one search actions required for this procedure (a buyer ’s paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21〇 > < 297) To know

• 、 A fright | (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Five Descriptions of Invention (6) 20 Pairs-30 Vendors 30) It is inefficient and expensive, because a large number of searches are required to find a 2 item , And it ’s not easy to compare the various product offers offered by different lock vendors. . Or 'will be classified in the electronic market according to the products provided by multiple vendors 3 (), and the buyer 20 will search the website for product offers provided by multiple vendors 30. However, if buyer 20 wishes to obtain multiple different types of products, then buyer 20 will have to enter multiple different types of markets. Furthermore, the buyer 20 may have to search multiple competing markets for the transaction matching phase of a particular product. A potential solution to this problem is the creation of a global product database that potentially includes data that identifies all product characteristics that any owner wishes to obtain. Therefore, the all 2 database includes the integrated content of each database 32 associated with each vendor 30. However, these global databases will have many problems. For example, the size of the database may be difficult to search, so the database may suffer from performance issues. In addition, it is difficult to allow multiple buyers of 2G to search the shellfish warehouse immediately. Furthermore, all sellers 3Q may need to access the global database to update their information, and every time a change is made, the entire database must be updated. There are many other problems at the same time. One way to solve the problems described above, or at least partially, is to use the main GCD 42. Major GCD 42;%-A comprehensive catalog of the contents of multiple vendor databases 32 (and potentially including all vendor databases 32). The primary GCD 42 may be implemented using one or more servers 40 or other computers located at one or more locations. Most or all of these vendor databases 32 are still stored in the database 32, but the main GCD 42 can be used to access this content. Therefore, as in the above-mentioned global database 1222584 A7 _____B7_ V. (7)! ~-, The main GCD 42 can provide access to product information on multiple products (and potentially one or more sales of the product) Vendor 30), but unlike this global database, the main GCD 42 does not attempt to store all this data in a large database

In the library. Appropriately, the "data" includes product information (indicating information that reflects certain attribute values of L products), seller information (indicating information that reflects certain attribute values of sellers), or product information and Both the locker information. The main GCD 42 can use a directory structure to provide product catalogs, and the products in this structure are organized using a hierarchical classification system. Buyers 20 can visit or search the catalog to find out A specific product classification that categorizes products. Product information (and potentially vendor information) related to the products included in a product classification can actually be stored in or can be stored in the main GCD 42 of the vendor database M 42. However, the requested information can be provided to the buyer 20 in obvious ways, so for the buyer 20, all such product information is included in the main GCD 42. Although the product and / or seller information is mainly It is explained that it is stored in the vendor database 32. The present invention will explain that the product information can be stored in any suitable way and can be Retrieve it from any suitable source. For example, the system 10 may include a shared data store 34 containing product data and / or vendor data that can be integrated with data from one or more vendor databases 32 The shared data storage 34 includes data commonly used by multiple vendors 30 (for example, common data such as manufacturer product specifications can be merged with car dealer special data, such as product pricing data). Even if the main GCD 42 can be used to simplify finding suitable products and sales #paper size is applicable to Zhongguanjia standard (⑽) M specifications tear-off paper (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page), τ_ ref-1222584 V. Description of the invention (8 The process of the seller 30, the buyer 20 must still sort a considerable number of products in order to search for the desired product. The buyer 2 () is only provided by the seller 30 in the United States. The blue ink ball pen is of interest. Even: The main 20 can visit the directory structure of the main GCD42 to the atom classification and turn: search criteria for products and sellers to perform a search for a ball pen, 2㈣ It is necessary to extend the time to visit the directory structure of the main coffee 42, and the owner 20 must know where the ball pen classification is located in the directory structure. In addition, the structure and configuration of the directory structure of the main GCD42 will be configured so that It provides the best convenience and effectiveness for the majority of buyers 2G. However, for the main buyers 20 and sellers 30, the structure of the main gcd ^ does not meet their business, personal or organizational needs. When the directory structure is different from the structure required or preferred by the owner 20, the actions that must be performed in the group directory structure in the main GCD 42 will be for buyers who are trying to use the system 10 to conduct an e-commerce transaction 20 Increasing difficulty. 方法 One way to at least solve the above problems is the secondary content directory 35. As shown in the second figure, the buyer 20 and the seller% can have as many and as few secondary content directories 35 as they want. The secondary content directory ^ can reduce the search time of the buyer 20, and can therefore increase the efficiency of the system and system. As with the primary GCD 42, the secondary content directory 35 may be implemented using a shrine server 40 or other computer located at one or more locations. The product classifications in the secondary content directory 35 are related to the classifications of the primary GCD 42 rather than the product information, and may allow buyers to construct new and configure the hierarchical classification system of the primary GCD 42. The secondary content directory 35 will use a directory structure that is different from the main GCD 42. It will use the Chinese National Standard to reprint five invention descriptions (9 xm Beine-pin structure-type directory structure to provide a category for product classification. , And can include less than all product categories included in the main GCD 42. The product will remain organized in a hierarchical classification system, but each buyer 20 can determine the hierarchical classification based on the needs and needs of each buyer: 0 Eight categories of products are included. The secondary content directory 35 includes product classifications related to the main GCD42 + products: points = related, while the product classifications in the main GCD 42 are associated with actual product information in the merchant database 32 (for example, (Using the indicators that identify the larvae or lean stocks). The users of the secondary content directory 35, whether it is the buyer 20 or the seller 3G, will determine the hierarchical structure of the secondary content directory%, and the secondary content directory 35 Which product categories are included in the product category, and which product categories are mapped in the main GCD 42. Buyers can still visit or search the directory structure of the secondary content directory 35 to find _ specific products Classification. In fact, the secondary content directory 35 can use the indicators associated with the primary Gcd 42 to access product information (and potential seller information) associated with a product classification. Once the buyer 2 finds the desired product classification and Enter the search criteria, and the required product information can be clearly provided to the owner 20 'so that all product information for the owner 20 is included in the sub-content catalog 35. The buyer 20 may not even know the main gcd heart and sales The existence and operation of the commercial database 32. Figure 2 will show an example directory structure 44 illustrating an example of the main global content directory 42. Products classified in the main GCD 42 may be structured according to the summary.-The summary may include A set of product classifications organized in a one-tier system (which can be called " taxonomy "), each classification is related to a group of product characteristics, features, or other product attributes (which can be called " Product entity theory (〇nto 丨 ogy) 〃). For example, pens can have different types of nibs. V. Description of the invention (10 (: such as a spherical nib or a felt thick nib), different nib sizes (such as extremely , Or thick head), and different ink colors (such as blue, black, [, I color). Therefore, a summary may include a pen classification corresponding to a type that includes a pen tip type, a large pen size, or other appropriate attributes. In a classification In this case, you can use the attribute value of the product (for example, spherical nib, medium nib, blue ink) to produce the `` attribute value '' stated in 0. It means that it includes any instance that reflects the attributes of a product or a vendor. Appropriate information. Product attribute values and vendor attribute values include numbers, letters, graphics, characters, symbols, or appropriate information used to separately describe a product or a vendor. In one embodiment, the production entity The theory will be divided into necessary registration attributes (representing attributes that must be provided-numerical values) and selective registration attributes (representing attribute values that are optional), and these classifications will be further divided into Commercial characteristics and design characteristics (or use any other appropriate division method). In addition to knife science and product entity theory, a summary includes a set of attributes for each sales f (which can be referred to as " seller ontology ").; Attributes can include geographic restrictions (such as the market where the service is provided), the currency of each vendor's receipt, the cooperation tools accepted by each vendor, the contract conditions accepted by each vendor, the type of contract accepted by each vendor, and the various vendors Required credit rating for the owner, and any other appropriate vendor attributes. Similar to products in a product category, the seller attribute value corresponding to the seller attribute will be used to define the sellers who provide products in a product category. Therefore, the -summary includes a set of categories, each category contains one or more products, and each category is related to a set of product attributes and a set of seller attributes. 'In the exemplified directory structure 44 ζ, it will be based on the corporate standard summary 46 or ^ paper size suitable financial standards (CNS) A4 specifications (210 x 297 mm) eight "he appropriate summary to organize and classify products. In the inventory = There are two example classifications in the quasi-summary 46: direct material classification 48 :, indirect material classification 50. Each of these classifications 48 and 50 will include several sub-members (which can include sub-classes themselves). Therefore, the directory structure Multiple classifications of 44 will form a "tree-like" class structure to classify products. For illustration, in Figure 2, some parts of the directory structure 44 can be / extended to show A variety of different levels of classification.-The classification of "level" is indicated by the number of other classifications between this classification and-the basic classification of the item (for example, the enterprise standard summary classification 46) For example, in the directory structure The indirect material classification 50 is the same level as the direct material classification 48. The indirect second material classification 50 may include the office and computer supplies classification 52, the classification μ includes the office use classification 54 ', and the classification 54 includes the writing utensil classification. %. Furthermore, the writing tool classification 56 includes a pen classification 58, a classification 5 pen type classification 1M " η, which indicates that it can be included in a pen classification 2: what number of classifications 60). Each classification 5 (), 52, M,% ,% And ⑽ are located at different levels of the directory structure 44. A category at any level in the directory structure 44 may include a "multiple sub-categories, such sub-categories may include one or more sub-categories' And it can include sub-categories until the desired degree of clarity is reached. A series of classifications from the highest level classification (the broadest classification) to the lowest level classification (the most specific classification) can be called branches of the directory structure 44 ' For example, the classifications 46, 48, 50, 52,%, 58, and 60b will form a branch of the directory structure 44. Although the directory 44 can use the corporate standard profile as described above, it can also be used in addition to the enterprise Instead of the corporate standard profile, any other suitable summary 62 other than the standard profile 46 may be used. For example, although the corporate standard profile 46 may be structured based on the point of view of the fifth, invention description (12), 7 The other profiles 62. For example, buyer 20 may want to decorate the kitchen of a new home with different products, such as household appliances, windows, good use, paint, fine furniture, plumbing systems, dinner plates and cooking utensils. Using the summary 62, the products can be grouped according to certain characteristics of the products (for example, some used electrical appliances can be classified in the electrical structure in the directory structure 44 in the category 52 and the paint can be classified in the industrial supplies category w). These products have been structured into various categories. However, another-exemplary summary 62 may be: there are 4 categories of products divided into household product categories (which may include further classification of multiple categories of these products, such as Weifang product categories, and kitchen product categories include-item kitchen appliances Classification, and Weifang ’s home appliance category includes a refrigerator category, and so on). Therefore, the same product may be included in Xibo Summary 62. These alternative summaries may be contained in the directory structure 44 and may be stored as part of the primary GCD 42 or may be stored separately from the gcd 42 or may be stored as the secondary content directory 35. The buyer 20 can go through the directory structure 44 by expanding or decomposing purely different classifications as desired. For example, Fig. 2 will show the expansion method of a certain knife type in the directory structure 44 to reach the straight-hair thick pen classification 60b. Once the buyer 20 has visited the buyer-20 that is specific enough—category_ (and / or the category at the end of the branch), the buyer 2. The products included in the category are then searched. For example, buyer 20 searches all products of writing instrument cents:% for blue felt thick pens with a medium nib. Or if the host 20 visits the ancient tongue at the end of one of the branches of the directory structure 44, the thick-headed pen is classified as 60b, and the main GCD42 can then make the purchase of a pen with a pen tip such as blue ink and ^ (It can achieve the same result as the search in the above (5) invention description (13)). The owner 20 can also search for sellers that match one of the "multiple seller attributes:" in a product category. For example, the buyer 20 may search for a seller 30 that accepts US dollars and provides services to the Texas region, except for all products in the writing instrument 56 that are medium-colored, thick-colored, thick-tipped pens. Buyers 20 may benefit from an appropriate way to search for products that match certain product attribute values and sellers that match certain seller attribute values. For example, in one embodiment, the buyer will provide search criteria including product attribute values and seller attribute values (the search criteria may be fully or partially automatically generated, as described below), and the servo 40 will search for matches Products with product attribute guidelines, as well as products provided by vendors that meet this, vendor attribute guidelines. In another embodiment, the owner 20 only provides the product attribute value as a search criterion, and the server 40 uses the search by the system 40 for products that meet the product attribute criteria as the owner's profile. The owner 20 wants A database 32 of sellers 30 that are known to meet the criteria for seller attributes. As mentioned above, in one embodiment, the product information (at least the product information is more detailed than that provided by a taxonomy) and the vendor data are typically not stored in the main GCD 42 but are stored in the vendor data In the library 32, for example, the seller 30 may maintain a relational database 32, which includes a plurality of product attribute values, and seller attribute values of each product, a group of products, or all products provided by the seller 30. Multiple charts. Product data and vendor data can be combined into one or more charts, or they can be split into different charts. Furthermore, product information and vendor information of vendor 30 can be stored in the same or separate databases. One or more indicators can be linked to each category to identify product information for products included in that category 1222584

(Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) and / or the location of one or more database 32 in the seller's information, or to identify the special products in the database 32. Therefore, the main GCD 42 may search for ten pairs of products in the database 32 identified by an index corresponding to the _user selected (or automatically selected) classification. The main gcd 42 can also report the network position of the database 32 (such as a single resource locator (URL) or other network address) to the buyer ± 20, so that the buyer 20 can independently access the shell material. Library 32. The database may be searched using any suitable method, including, but not limited to, a structured query language (query, language, SQL) type query. The main gcd 42 can be implemented using the Hghtweight directory access protocol (LDAp), and the LDAp will • subscribe-use the tree structure described above to provide the directory. However, any other suitable technology or agreement to produce the main GCD 42 may be used instead, and the main GCD 42 may have any suitable structure. Furthermore, the main gCD 42 may be an object-oriented catalog (which is also provided by LDAp) so that each category in the catalog ~ structure 44 can include the attributes of the root category, and the root knife category is classified as Once classified. In this embodiment, a product category listed in the tree-like structure as a branch end includes attributes of the root category in the branch. Furthermore, each product included in the database 32 may be an object including all attributes of the classifications containing the product, and the product is included in the classifications. Thus, when a search is made from a classification located at the end of a branch of the directory structure 44, the search query may automatically include any appropriate attribute of the root classification of the classification. For example, 'if the buyer 20 has visited the directory structure 44 to the felt thick pen classification 60b, the buyer 20 (or the buyer representing the buyer 20

1222584 V. Description of the invention (15) A search by GCD from the classification of the thick stylus e0b will be limited to: the search for the consumption of thick stylus, and the buyer 20 can use the additional right Human search criteria (such as blue ink and medium "). Therefore, if the database 32 that you are looking for includes product information on a variety of writing tools, the main GCD 42 will automatically The item search of database 32 is limited to the conditions that are only included in the poor material bank 32 " thick-headed pen. Buyer 2 () ^ can also identify additional product attribute values and / or seller attribute values as a search Criteria When the main GCD 42 has performed a search of the -item database 32 identified by the relevant index selected by the buyer 20 (or the category that has been automatically selected), the main GCD 42 will report a match with the search criteria Product information and / or seller information related to one or more products. GCD 42 may combine the product information and / or seller information obtained from the search into the directory 2 structure 44 'for the buyer 20, Product information can be displayed as the main gc -part of d 42. The main GCD42 may alternatively present the search results in any other suitable manner. The products obtained from the search may be an object which is the search for the buyer 20 A unique example of the classification. Furthermore, a numbering scheme corresponding to the directory structure 44 can be used to uniquely identify each of the objects (and their locations). In summary, the buyer 20 can use the main GcD 42 to search for certain sales. Quotients provided by sellers 30 that meet certain product attribute values, and can therefore reduce or reduce the need for buyers 20 to search multiple vendors 30 to find the desired product. The main GCD 42 will utilize The directory structure 44 provides access to product information and / or vendor information about multiple products, and the directory structure 44 uses a class system, object, and scale to apply the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297) %)

• Order ----- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) 1222584 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (16) Guided classification system to structure products. Buyer 2 can visit or search structure 44 to find a product-specific product category and various different information related to the product in this category, starting with a database that includes product information and / or seller information about a product 32 to search, and then communicate with itt㈣2 3 and 2 through GCD feeder 40 or other means. Provides access to multiple products without having to store all data about that product and / or seller in a global database. Instead, the product information is stored in a vendor database 32 which is accessed using the main GCD 42. Figure 3 will show—illustrating a secondary content directory ^ —illustrating the directory structure 102. As mentioned above, sometimes it may be difficult for a particular buyer 20 to visit and search the directory structure 44 of the main GCD 42. For example, a buyer may want a catalog structure that is closer to their needs and needs. The part of the catalog structure 102 shown in Figure 3 is for the display of suppliers of office supplies, in which the suppliers will buy office supplies from various office product manufacturers and resell the office supplies and business. personal. The operation of the directory structure 102 is roughly the same as the directory structure in that the directory structure 102 does not include the index of product data stored in the vendor's assets 2 3 2 and / or the data storage 34. In contrast, the product classifications in Objective 102 are related to one or more of the product classifications in Catalog 44 of the main GCD 42 as described below. ",,,,,,,,,,,, and 彳 02 include different summary productions that can meet the needs of the supplier = classification. Although 'the supplier can use the main GCD42 for office use; ^, the manufacturer purchases his office supplies, the supplier may prefer Different configuration products are classified to sell these office products to their customers. Therefore 19 ', (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page} 20 Photo materials for the end of the room: knotted •, ^ τ— Description of the Invention (17) The vendor can want to generate a catalogue, so that it can be easier for the supplier's customers to search and find office products. In order to generate the directory structure 102, the supplier will determine that it is from the main GCD42 Which categories are the money in the directory structure 102 so that the supplier can fully serve its customers. For example, since the supplier only provides office products, the supplier does not need to include the car category 63 and the electronics category 64 卩And any associated sub-categories in the directory structure ι〇2. However, the supplier may want to include the desk supplies category 54 and any associated sub-categories in the directory structure 102. In addition to deciding which product category to use in the directory structure 102, the supplier will also determine the best method for structuring the product category. Because the supplier specializes in supplying office products & Organize to efficiently manage and process all product types. In the process of generating the directory structure 102, the supplier may want to reconfigure or restructure the product classification from the main GCD 42. For example, the directory structure 1 〇2 includes a computer-based mouthpiece 1 to 104, an office-to-supply summary ^ 〇6, an office visual aids 108, and any other appropriate summary n. These profiles allow the supplier's customers to Easily find the desired office product. In the office supplies summary 106, the supplier may wish to have a classification 112, a pencil classification 1 1 4, and a clip classification 彳 彳 6. In the pen classification 彳 彳 2, there are Manufacturer category 118, a professional pen category 120, and a color category 1 22 Therefore, in the directory structure Ί 02, the display and relationship between these categories, root categories, and sub-categories will be similar The display of the directory structure 44 is not relevant. The user of the system 10 may use any suitable graphics or other tools to generate the directory structure of the secondary content directory 35. For example, a graphical tool may be provided that will allow one to use The user can "post and drop (five, invention description (18) and drop)" the icon representing the classification of the directory structure 44 to the appropriate position in the directory structure. Does not have an identifiable vendor database 32 and / Or in the data storage%, the classification in the directory structure 102 of the product data-related indicators, as in the product structure in the directory structure 44, the product classification in the directory structure 102 has one or more associated classification indicators These indicators will identify the product categories in the directory structure 44 of the main GCD 42. For example, the pen classification m is a product classification having an index that can identify the pen classification 58 in the directory structure 44, which means that the pen classification 112 can be mapped to a pen classification. When a product category in GCD 35 (such as a pen category is mapped to a product category in a major GCD 42 (such as pen category 58), the sub-category (here, pen category 58) mapped to that product category will also be removed from The classification of GCD 35 (here, pen classification n2) is mapped. A buyer 20 can visit and search the directory structure 102, which is the same way as the buyer 20 described above searches and visits the directory structure H. For example, a buyer 20 will Search the directory structure 102 for the pen with i-color ink. The buyer 2Q 胄 visited the blue pen category 1 24b and started a search for all pens with blue ink. When the owner 20 was blue When the search criteria are entered in the pen category 124b, the associated classification indicator of the blue pen category 124b will indicate that the search will be performed at the location identified by the indicator in the pen category 58. For the buyer 20, it can be obvious and This search method is performed closely. 商 The supplier may wish to reorganize the classification of directory structure 44 into the directory. Another example in the structure of 02 is the clip classification. 6. The 1 'solid in the main GCD 42 Category 66 includes all types Fasteners, which include staples, paper clips, and book clips. But the supplier may want to further distinguish between the description of the invention (19) different types of clips. Therefore, the inflammation in the directory structure 102 Sub-categories include, but are not limited to, manufacturer's classification _126a, metal loss score_mb, books M type U6C, and plastic clip classification 126n. This supplier therefore classifies "6 in combination with fastener classification 66 and maps to fasteners Category 66. More specifically, the book folder category 126c maps to the book folder category 67, while the metal folder category UGb and the plastic folder category 126n map to the paper folder category 67b. For example, if the owner 20 searches for a large file in the directory structure 102 If the metal clip is used, the buyer 20 will visit the metal clip classification mb and enter the search criteria. Since the metal clip classification is mapped to the paper clip classification 67b, the buyer will use the search criteria entered in the metal clip classification 126b to sort from the paper clip. 67b began a search of product information. The action of related lyps for class indicators and mapping will allow the directory structure to have different product classification display methods without the need to copy the products associated with a category. (And therefore can maintain and update the requirements for multiple sets of indicators). As the product classification in the directory structure 102 has an associated classification 'standard' that can identify the j product classification in the main gcd 42 instead of the actual product information or data location The main GCD 42 is still the only directory to identify product materials. Because there is no need to copy the data indicators, the directory structure procedure for generating and maintaining the secondary content directory 35 will be improved. Figure 4 will not show another example of secondary content An example of a directory is a directory structure 162. The directory structure 162 may be set for a buyer 20 who is looking to buy office products for use in an enterprise. For example, the directory structure Ί 62 will be for an office service manager and The company responsible for determining the buyer has sufficient office supplies to buy ± 2G settings. Like the directory structure 102, the buyer 20 may want to configure the product distribution in the directory structure 162. ^ Paper size is suitable for wealth and family care (⑽A4 specifications⑽) 5. Description of the invention (20) Category /, health is different from the directory structure 44 and moving The directory structure 162 includes—the floor supply room classification 164, the second floor supply supply ... 66, the third floor supply supply room classification 168, and the second floor. The use. The mouth supply room 170. Prepared for each supply room -Classified actions: Will: Promote buyers 20 to track office supplies. Buyers 20 can track office supplies and office supplies currently stored in various supply rooms, and each supply room can have its own office Supplies requirements. For example, the engineer may be located on the first floor and therefore the supply office on the first floor may store office counterfeits for engineering work f, while the third floor is the accounting department and therefore the supply office on the third floor may be stored for accounting. Office supplies required for work. The different locations of supplies stored in each supply room are shown under each supply room category 164, 166, 168, and M These sub-categories are product categories that are mapped to a directory structure such as, while the structure directory 102 is mapped to a directory structure 44 (or they may be directly mapped to the directory structure 44). For example, if the buyer 20 needs to fill the first floor supply room Living supplies of pen supplies 20 can visit the first floor supplies supply room category 164 and then go to the-floor pen category 174. Below the-floor pen category 174 may be stored in the-floor supply room t various types of pens Sub-classification.—The pen classification 174 can be mapped to the pen classification 112 of the directory structure technique, which is mapped to the pen classification of the directory structure 44.—The pen classification 174 has associated classification indicators that can identify the pen classification 112, and the pen classification 112 has an associated classification indicator for the pen category. The buyer 2G will enter search criteria such as pen type or ink color through the-pen category 174.-The associated classification indicator of the house pen category 174 will identify the pen category η 112, which can identify the main five, invention description (21 of the pen classification 58 related classification indicators. By the buyer 20 in (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) _ 174 _ Enter the search criteria action, which can be classified by pen 58 = identified seller database database data storage = heart 2 material into the 仃 -item search, which means that the search results are reported to the buyer 2q. Each pen classification in 162 can be mapped to a pen classification⑴, and each mouth supply room includes different pen search criteria, depending on the type of pen stored in each supply. Second: And, the secondary content directory 35 and its The associated directory structure will allow the final owner 20 to configure and structure the directory that best meets the needs of the buyer 2Q. When constructing a directory structure 44 based on product characteristics, many companies will not pursue their product needs Conversely, Buyer 2 () often pursues the products they purchase, depending on their location in these enterprises, how these products are used in these enterprises, the relevance of these products to other products, or any Other appropriate configuration methods. Directory structure 102 will allow suppliers from A to Alpha to provide convenient product configuration methods for their customers, and directory structure 162 will allow office service managers to closely and structurely monitor their office supplies for businesses. And supply procedures. The ability to generate a customized secondary content directory 35 and directory structure will add value to the system] and the primary GCD 42 as this capability will increase the convenience and use of overall functionality. Figure 5 shows an example e-commerce system in more detail]. As described above, multiple buyers 20 and sellers 30 may be coupled to the GCD server 40 using the network 12. Buyer 20 will use a web browser or any other means to access server 40, and server 40 will use a web server or any other suitable means to provide buyer 20 pairs of secondary content items 35 and 24 papers The standard applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 public love) " 1222584 A7 _B7_ V. Description of the invention (22) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) The access right of the main GCD 42. Although the secondary content directory 35 and the primary GCD 42 are shown as being located inside the GCD server 40, the secondary content directory 35 and the primary GCD 42 may be located inside or outside the GCD server 40 as described above. The GCD server 40 may also include hardware and / or software to implement one or more GCD interfaces 43 to allow the buyer 20 to access one or more secondary content directories 35. The buyer 20 may access the GCD server 40 and use the GCD interface 43 to search or visit the secondary content directory 35 and / or the vendor database 32. The use of hypertext transport protocol (HTTP), extensible markup language (XML), simple object access protocol (SOAP), or any other suitable communication technology can enable information Circulation between buyer 20, seller 30, secondary content directory 35, and primary GCD 42. A unique identifier may be issued to each buyer 20 and seller 30 so that participants in a transaction conducted by the main GCD 42 can be identified. It is also possible to assign a transaction-related role to each buyer 20 and seller 30. As mentioned above, the buyer 20 in one transaction may be the seller 30 in another transaction, and vice versa. In an exemplary transaction, the buyer 20 will access the GCD interface 43 and benefit

A secondary content directory 35 is used for a search of the primary GCD 42. The GCD interface 43 will allow the buyer 20 to visit or " browse the categories of the secondary content directory 35 and search for a particular category or categories. For example, the buyer 20 will visit the secondary content directory 35 to find a classification to classify the pen, or the buyer 20 may search the secondary content directory 35 for a classification name containing the word " pen. Any other suitable method for identifying a particular classification may be used. When the buyer 20 has found the suitable product of the product that the buyer 20 wants, the paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 1222584 V. Description of the invention (23) When the classification position, the buyer 2G will then A product list in a category that meets a certain product attribute value is required. For example, if the buyer 20 is browsing the first floor pen classification 174, the buyer 20 will require all products in the category μ that meet the criteria of inventory pens in the floor supply room, and the buyer 20 will search and map the pen classification 58 Related product information. As described above, the 'search interface 45 or GCD server 4' Any suitable component can be searched or requested to search the storages 34 and 7 or vendor data identified by one or more product indicators related to the pen classification 58 Library 32 to facilitate this requirement. The search interface 45 will provide the buyer 20 with a search form in which one or more search criteria can be entered. The type of search criteria that can be used can be identified in the search form, or the buyer can be allowed to perform a product classification in the database 32 and / or the storage 34 for the product categories that map the buyer 20 to the secondary content directory 35 with access rights— General search. For example, the search interface 45 may provide a search form specifically designed by the buyer 20 for the building pen classification 174, which includes the buyer 2G may specify the desired ink color, nib thickness, or any other appropriate product-related or seller-related card. In an embodiment, the fields of the 'search form correspond to some or all of the product attributes in the product taxonomy and / or correspond to the vendor attributes in the seller taxonomy of the selected product taxonomy, And the buyer 20 can enter the attribute values of the product attributes and the vendor attributes in the corresponding search form stops. According to the -search form, the search interface 45 can provide a single stop where the buyer can enter the desired search conditions, such as " red " and " very fine " (you can use Bolling mathematical operators or any other appropriate technique to Enter multiple search terms).

Or 'search can be transmitted directly from database 32 and / or storage 34 The result is given to the buyer 20. The owner 20 may select a product from the product list to indicate a desire to start a transaction on a distant product, such as buying the product. When making a selection GCD 35 or 42 or other components of the system 10 will communicate the _reservoir identifier (D) identifying the selected vendor 3Q and the globally unique identifier (GUID) of the product to the buyer 20. For example, the RID can be the network address of the vendor's network node 30 (for example, the p address) or it can be the network address associated with the chart (so-then, you can use the RID to find the relevant And then send the network address to the buyer 2. The buyer can use the RID (or network address) to access the seller 30, and can use the mouth to request a purchase of the product. Transactions. The GCD 35 $ 42 system file can even provide an item link that contains the URL of the website related to the seller 30, or other appropriate methods to enable the buyer to settle with the seller 20 $. Although only using A single exemplified arrow (between buyer 20n and lock vendor 30n) to show the communication between buyer 20 and vendor 30. It should be understood that any buyer 20 can communicate with any lock vendor 30. Use communications to conduct appropriate transactions. One of the advantages of the secondary content directory 35 is that the permissible levels of the main gcd 42 for a certain product category can be constructed in the map, and these levels will allow the main GCD 42 to Identify specialized products for different buyers 20 and sellers 30 Information. For example, the directory structure 1G2 will only provide access to the product categories of the directory structure 44, which is mapped to the eight categories of the directory structure. Similarly, the directory structure 162 only provides the directory structure: Two paper sizes are applicable to the national standard (QJS) M specification (〇297297) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page)

• ， 可 I #-5. Invention description (26 of / access to factory cheeks, which is the product classification map of the directory structure 162 and if the directory structure represents the directory structure 102, then only the directory structure 102 The classification will be mapped to the directory structure example product point # 1. Therefore, in fact, the directory 162 will undergo two levels of filtering action. The one-level pass action is from the directory structure 44 to the directory 1 () 2, and The second level of filtering action is from the directory 102 to the directory structure 162. The passing action will allow the primary GCD 42 to have certain buyers 2. Special information with vendors 30 and only in the secondary content directory 35 is mapped to the specialty product. The shellfish is only structured when it is cooked (it does not allow direct access to the directory structure 44). For example, the seller 30a may conduct a transaction with the buyer 20a, and the buyer 20b Make another transaction. In order to consider different configuration methods, the seller 30a may generate a secondary content directory 353 for the buyer 20a to access, and generate a secondary content directory 35b for the buyer 20b to access. In the process of the content directory 35a, the seller 30 a will determine which of the main gcd 42 mouth and mouth knives are reachable by the shell 20a. In the process of generating the secondary content directory 35b, the seller 30a will be able to determine which product of the main GCD 42 is classified as the buyer 20b Therefore, the seller 30a can store the product information of the two special transactions in an associated seller database 32, but because the buyers 20a and 2 Ob can only access the secondary content directory 3 5a and 35b Permitted Product Information 'Buyer 20a will not be able to view the special transaction provided to buyer 20b, and vice versa. Figure 6 shows a way to utilize GCD 42 and one or more secondary content directories 35 in the electronic An example method for generating, updating, and managing a multi-category environment in business transactions. When the GCD server 40 stores product data 29 This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X297 mm) 1222584 A7 _B7_ V. Description of the invention ( 27) When in one or more product data stores, such as a vendor database 32 and / or a shared data store 34, the method starts in step 202. In step 204, the GCD server 40 will link the product Product and product information and divide it into multiple product categories. The act of linking product categories with product information includes enabling one or more product indicators to be identified in the vendor database 32 and / or data storage 34. These product classifications of product information. The act of classifying products into multiple product classifications enables buyer 20 to search for and find products associated with specific products and / or seller attributes. After storing and classifying products and product information, this The method will proceed to step 206 where the GCD server 40, the buyer 20, the seller 30, and / or any other appropriate user or system administrator will generate one or more secondary content directories 35 from the primary GCD 42. As mentioned above, the secondary content directory 35 will allow the buyer 20 or the vendor 30 to reconfigure and organize all or less than all the products in the primary GCD 42 to produce a new directory structure that can satisfy the buyer 20 And / or the business needs of the seller 30 and have a structure that better matches the structure of the buyer 20 and / or the seller 30. The secondary content directory 35 includes one or more product categories that can be mapped back to specific product categories in the primary GCD 42. When a product classification is mapped back to a product classification in the main GCD 42, not only the product classification in the main GCD 42 can be mapped back to a product classification in the main GCD 42, but also all sub-classifications of the product classification in the main GCD 42. It can be mapped back to a product category in the main GCD 42. This will allow buyers 20 or sellers 30 to obtain the main GCD 42 product classifications, and effectively link these product classifications to a new directory structure. The product classification in the secondary GCD 35 includes the associated classification indicators, which can be 30 paper sizes that apply the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X297 mm) (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page), may | Miscellaneous = Product category mapped. The side that generates the secondary content directory 3 5 can outline the classification and classification, how it is organized in the directory structure, and / or have the choice of product classification mapping objects in the main GCD 42. In addition to the 7 primary GCD 42 mappings, the secondary content directory 35 can also be mapped back to other-personal content directories 35, which can be mapped back to the primary GCD 42. For example, = Vendor 30b to compose the secondary content directory ... and it can directly reflect the primary GCD 42. The vendor 30b may then want to generate an inadequate directory for use by its buyer 20, and thus generate a secondary content directory 35b that maps back to the secondary valley directory 35a. When the buyer 20 uses the GCD interface 43 to access the secondary content catalog, the '" method will continue to the outline. For example, the buyer 20 may have access to the directory structure 162 of the content 35b. As mentioned above, the buyer 20 can access the secondary content using a webcaster or by any other appropriate method. In step 21G, as mentioned above, the buyer will visit the directory structure and reach the money for the buyer 2G Specific _product points_ (and / or bits; -end of a branch-classification). At step 212, product categories are selected. In the name of "^ categorization" an item in the list .: "Category" ::: Now "often search for 0 employees and a single class to enter the search" without having to visit the entire classification list. The list is for the convenience of buyers 2G maintain. The list may be stored in the buyer profile as described, or it may be stored elsewhere by a gcd ship such as or other computers reachable by the owner 20. The alternatives to steps _ and _ are based on the buyer ’s profile from :: == when a product is classified, the buyer will be urged at step… to urge the buyer to enter the search criteria, for example, as described above, the feeder 4 〇 Can provide one or more of the two-search form, or 1222584 A7 ----------- ____ V. Description of the invention (29) ~~ '一-Tizhubeizhu 20 can input A single stop of the desired criterion, and the stop of the search form corresponds to some or all of the product attributes in the product ontology ^ / or the seller in the ontology corresponding to the selected product category Attributes. Such criteria may include product attribute values, vendor attribute values, or a combination of product attribute values and vendor attribute values. In step 216, the buyer 20 will provide the desired search criteria to search the selected product category. In step 218, the search interface 45 will use the search criteria provided by the buyer 20 to search the seller database 32 and / or the shared data storage 34 identified by the indicators in the product classification, or the products selected by the buyer 20 GCD 42 classification identified by the classification index in the classification. The search interface 45 may use any suitable method for searching. In the step, the = CD server 40 will propose to the buyer 20 one or more products that meet (or partially meet) the search criteria (possibly combined with the display of the secondary content directory structure), and the method Will end. Alternatively, the results of the search query may be transmitted directly from the data store 34 and / or the vendor database 32 to the buyer 200. Although the invention has been described in terms of various embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to understand a variety of changes and alternatives. Schemes, changes, changes, and modifications, and the present invention is intended to cover all such changes, alternatives, changes, changes, and modifications that fall within the scope of the appendix application. ^ This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (21〇297297)
