US Classification:

705 261, 705 263, 705 271

Abstract:

A computer implemented approach to facilitate multi-phase bid evaluation. In one embodiment, a digital processing system receives information packets (corresponding to bids) from different suppliers containing information elements associated with one of a sequence of phases. On receiving an indication (from a buyer) that a specific phase of the bidding is to be evaluated starting at a time instance, the system allows the buyer access of elements associated with the specific phase only after the time instance, while allowing access to elements associated with a previous phase (occurring prior to the specific phase in the sequence of phases) even before the time instance. In a scenario where the suppliers who have successfully qualified in the previous phase are received, the system allows access of elements associated with the specific phase corresponding only to the qualified suppliers in response to the indication.

US Classification:

705 26

Abstract:

This disclosure describes, generally, methods and systems for dynamically counting down to an on-line auction end time. The method includes initiating a countdown clock with an end time that corresponds to the on-line auction end time, and accessing an auction server to obtain data used to refresh a current time of the countdown clock. The auction server is accessed at an incrementally faster refresh rate as the on-line auction end time is approached. The method further includes presenting, based on the refresh data obtained from accessing the auction server, an updated countdown clock.

Abstract:

A method, system, and computer program product for providing document security for procurement agents. The method commences by establishing user authentication credentials for at least two procurement agents. Then, initially granting limited access to a first set of documents where the first set of documents is initially under control of the first procurement agent (and initially inaccessible by the second procurement agent), and initially granting limited access to a second set of documents, where the second set of documents is initially under control of the second procurement agent. A procurement application receives an access request from the first user to access a document from among the second set of documents, causing the procurement application to confirm the first user authentication credentials, retrieve the document access rule for the first procurement agent, and allow/deny access by the first user to the document from among the second set of documents.
