Automated system and method for selection and procurement of products and services |
摘要 |
An automated system and method for the selection and procurement of products and services by at least one customer from one or more of a plurality of merchants over a general purpose computer network, such as the Internet. The method comprises the steps of: transmitting information about a plurality of products/services offered for sale by each of a plurality of merchants to a database; and organizing the transmitted information for each of the plurality of products/services into a hierarchical categorization in the database based upon a predefined set of categories such that all of the transmitted information for each of the plurality of products/services offered for sale by each of the plurality of merchants is organized in the database in a similar manner. Because of such hierarchical categorization of the database, a customer can perform one search for a desired product/service from the transmitted information for the plurality of merchants and compare the transmitted information from each of the plurality of merchants. |
