SYSTEM FOR GRANTING CONTROL TO A DEVICE

摘要

A system for rewarding and motivating non-winning bidders is disclosed. The system may list an item of a seller for an auction at a first price. The system may receive a first bid for the item from a first bidder at the first price. The first bidder may be granted control of the auction based on the first bid. The system may then receive a second bid for the item from a second bidder at a second price. The second bidder may control the auction if the second bid is at least a predetermined threshold amount above the first price. The system may request a response from the first bidder to approve the second bid if the second bid is lower than the predetermined threshold amount above the first price. The system give the first bidder a reward based on the difference between the first price and the second price.

1. A system for granting control to a device, the system comprising:
a memory that stores instructions; a processor that executes the instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising:
displaying, via a web page, a listing of an item associated with a transaction, wherein the item is listed at a first value by a first computing device that has control of the transaction;granting control of the transaction to a second computing device in response to receiving a first bid for the item at a first value from the second computing device;causing a first user of the second computing device to become a virtual owner of the transaction when control of the transaction is granted to the second computing device;generating the listing for display on a first social networking web page of the first user when the first user becomes the virtual owner of the transaction, wherein the first social networking page is accessible to a third computing device via a social networking online profile of the first user;granting control of the transaction to the third computing device if a second bid at a second value from the third computing device is at least a predetermined threshold amount above the first value;transmitting, if the second value is lower than the predetermined threshold amount above the first value, a request for a response from the second computing device to accept or reject the second bid at the second value;granting control of the transaction to the third computing device if the response from the second computing device indicates an acceptance of the second bid at the second value; andproviding a first reward to the second computing device, wherein the reward is a first percentage of a difference between the first value and the second value.
