摘要

A system and method designed for conducting bidding at auctions. The system may include an information server with a database for holding bid information; one or more wireless controllers with an application program for translating operations of a user into bid information that is transmitted to the information server; and a data communication network for providing wireless communication along at least part of the path between the wireless communicator and the information server. The method may include using the system including the application program generating data signals with bid information based on actions of the use on the wireless communicator. The actions translated by the application program may simulate some bidding behaviors common to live auction environments.
