Abstract:

A method of processing an online purchase request from a customer includes steps of receiving a first online purchase request for a first item; retrieving pre-stored information about the customer and generating a first quote that includes an identification of the first item and the retrieved information. Modifications may be made to the first quote, which lasts at least until a consolidation interval has elapsed. The first quote is converted to a first executable order for the first item when a quote conversion process determines that the first quote has remained unmodified at least for the consolidation interval. A second online purchase request for a second item may be added to the first quote when the second online purchase request is received before the first quote is converted into the first order or when the first quote has remained unmodified for a period of time that is less than the consolidation interval. A second quote may be generated when the quote conversion process determines that the first quote has remained unmodified for a period of time greater than the consolidation interval. The quote conversion process may run continuously or may be launched at a selectable interval.

US Classification:

705/026000

Abstract:

A method of processing an online purchase request from a customer to a vendor includes a step of receiving a first online purchase request for a first item. Responsive to a first customer input, the method calls for processing the first online purchase request using an express processing procedure that requires no further input by the customer to execute the online purchase request or as a shopping cart that requires a second customer input. Responsive to the second customer input, the customer's shopping cart is processed by the express processing procedure or by a normal checkout procedure. The processed shopping cart or the processed first online purchase request may then be converted into a first executable order.

Abstract:

IMS Web provides for a method and apparatus which enables a user to communicate with IMS-based applications using a Web Browser. An input HTML form is used to associate IMS transaction data which is then supplied to a CGI-BIN program which uses IMS Web generated C++ class definitions to determine classes for each logical page. The CGI-BIN program interacts with the IMS database through an TCP/IP OTMA adapter and an output HTML communicates with the Web client.
