Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of international currency. More specifically, the present invention relates to the dynamic conversion from one currency to another for computer applications.
  • Dynamic currency conversion may be accomplished using a currency conversion rate server.
  • the server intermittently sends requests to one or more financial institutions to return current realtime currency conversion rate information, the requests spaced apart by a short period of time. It then receives the current realtime currency conversion rate information from the one or more financial institutions and stores them in a currency conversion rate database.
  • the server retrieves one or more records from the currency conversion rate database indicating the near-realtime currency conversion rate and forwards them to the subscriber.
  • Various manipulation schemes may be applied to the records such as weighted averages in order to provide the best possible real-time currency conversion information available.

  • the invention has specific application for use in an auction web site, however the following disclosure should be read to limit the invention to use in an auction web site.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a web-based auction system according to a specific embodiment of the present invention.
  • the Auction engine 2 executes rules stored in a rules database 4.
  • the rules indicate how the auction is to be run. Examples of rules that may be defined in the rules database include the length of the auction, the type of the auction, and how the winner is determined.
  • the auction engine 2 may require a real time currency conversion rate. It then passes a currency conversion request to a currency conversion server 6.
  • the currency conversion server 6 has an attached database 8 storing near-real-time currency conversion rates. The rate needed may be looked up in this database 8 and then returned to the auction engine 2 for use in the auction. Communications between the auction engine 2 and the currency conversion server 6 may be accomplished using Extensible Markup Language (XML).

Abstract

On peut accomplir une conversion dynamique de devises au moyen d'un serveur de taux de conversion de devises. Le serveur envoie des demandes par intermittence à une ou plusieurs institutions financières afin d'obtenir des informations, en matière de renvoi, concernant le taux de conversion de devises en cours en temps réel, les demandes étant espacées par des périodes de courte durée. Ledit serveur reçoit ensuite les informations concernant le taux de conversion de devises en cours en temps réel provenant d'une ou plusieurs institutions financières et les stockent dans une base de données de taux de conversion de devises. Lorsqu'une demande est reçue d'un abonné concernant un taux de conversion de devises en temps quasi-réel, le serveur extrait un ou plusieurs enregistrements depuis la base de données de taux de conversion de devises indiquant le taux de conversion de devises en temps quasi-réel et le/les achemine jusqu'à l'abonné. De nombreux programmes de manipulation peuvent être appliqués aux enregistrements, tels que des moyennes pondérées afin de fournir les meilleures informations possibles disponibles concernant la conversion de devises en temps réel.
