ASYNCHRONOUS TENDERING FOR VARIABLE CHARACTERISTIC ASSETS

摘要

Utilities that allow for the asynchronous tendering for variable characteristic assets. In one aspect, a utility for returning a strike price based on the iterative comparison of a received first listing object with a received first offer object, both corresponding to a first variable characteristic asset. At least one of the first listing object and the first offer object may include a time-dependent price such that the iterative comparison may facilitate the determination of a time-dependent price range corresponding to the variable characteristic asset at a given time. In this regard, the strike price may be returned at least partially based on the time-dependent price range. Additionally, the present disclosure includes embodiments related to the verification of a condition-dependent status of the first variable characteristic asset and a generation of comparison metrics associated with the asynchronous tendering.

1. A method for use in asynchronous tendering for variable characteristic assets within a distributed network, the method comprising:
receiving, at a processor of a network server, a first listing object that includes a first listing profile, said first listing profile including a listing price corresponding to a first variable characteristic asset; receiving, at said processor of said network server, a first offer object that includes a first offer profile, said first offer profile including an offer price corresponding to said first variable characteristic asset, at least one of said listing price and said offer price comprising a time-dependent price; iteratively comparing, by said processor of said network server, said received first listing object with said received first offer object to determine a time-dependent price range corresponding to said first variable characteristic asset at each of a series of comparison times, said time-dependent price range bounded by said listing price and by said offer price each at said comparison times; operating said processor of said network server, at each said comparison time, to make a determination as to whether said time-dependent price range has reached a threshold; and returning a strike price when said time-dependent price range reaches said predetermined threshold.
