发明名称 A method and apparatus for searching a database for information including promotional information
摘要 A system and method uses a computer system to search a database for vendor promotional information. In one type of search, a category, region and a vendor code based on the vendor's name is submitted to a computer processing system coupled to a database which stores the vendor promotional information. In this type of search, the computer processing system returns a set of vendor promotional information and if a vendor's promotional information is present in the database and matches the search input, the vendor's promotional information is included in the set of promotional information retrieved. In another type of search, an identification number is submitted to the computer processing system and the system returns a set of vendor promotional information which includes a vendor's promotional information if the vendor's promotional information is present in the database. In the latter case, the set includes other vendor information matching the category or region of the identified vendor. Vendor promotional information includes graphical billboard objects which promote the vendor's product or service.
