发明名称 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ESTABLISHING COMMODITY MARKETS
摘要 A plurality of spatially diverse regions, each representing a unique commodity market, are defined within a given area. Display data of the area and the constituent regions is provided such that a viewer of a visual depiction resulting from the display data can separately identify each of the regions. Based on the visual depiction, an optional textual displays, selection information is provided corresponding to at least one of the regions. In one embodiment, the area thus depicted is an event venue, such as a stadium, theater or the like, and the regions encompass blocks of seat locations within the event venue deemed to be suitably similar as to constitute fungible commodities. The display data and the selection information are preferably conveyed via a computer communication network such as the Internet. The present invention may be used to standardize various non-traditional commodities, thereby making them more suitable for trading, particularly through an one-line exchange system.
