Embodiment Construction

[0019] The present invention provides a distributed buyer / seller model in which transaction participants can operate as independent merchants. A peer-to-peer communication concept is used which allows individual users to buy, sell and / or trade products independently of centralized commerce systems. The distributed search engine concept is incorporated into the peer-to-peer architecture so that queries for products can be distributed throughout the network. Thus, rather than using one centrally managed index, matches to product queries can be determined individually by each participating device.

[0020] figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing a peer-to-peer network configuration 100 for the inventive architecture disclosed herein. Such as figure 1 As shown in , system 100 may include several network devices 105 , 110 , 115 , and 120 , each of which may be communicatively linked via communication network 125 . System 100 may also include one or more distributed trade enable...

Abstract

A decentralized method of negotiating for the exchange of products over a communications network can include generating a request specifying at least one product attribute within a requesting device and forwarding the request to other authorized devices having a presence on the communications network. Each of the devices can include a distributed search engine for locating descriptions of products stored in the devices which match the request. One or more descriptions of products matching the request can be received from selected ones of the authorized devices. The matching descriptions can be stored within the requesting device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic commerce, more specifically, to a distributed electronic commerce system. Background technique [0002] Currently, most so-called online commerce systems rely on centralized business models. That is, commercial and / or transactional networks rely on a client-server model that manages all aspects of transactions and information within a centralized computer system. Prospective transaction participants log into a central computer system or "marketplace" to search for products of interest, list products for sale or trade, and manage personal account information. [0003] Despite the success of this technology, the central market model does have drawbacks. One such disadvantage is the significant burden placed on transaction participants. Specifically, before performing any tasks related to a transaction, no matter how trivial the transaction is, both buyers and sellers must first visit and log in ...
