Embodiment Construction

[0037] In one embodiment of the automated barter concept, John meets Rob on campus. Where in the past they would swap and barter deadstock or soccer cards, now they can swap and barter electronic content or items with their portable device. These bartering processes will now be described with reference to FIG. 1 . Two parties (John and Rob) own a corresponding set of electronic items 110 and 210, and programmable devices 100 and 200, respectively. In this example, the items include songs and albums by various artists. These items are stored separately on the device. When preparing for the bartering process, each user provides input data to his device, thereby valuing each item in his opinion. Items that are most important to him are given an estimate of 10, while items that are of no interest to him are given an estimate of 1. This is done for songs, artists and albums respectively. Furthermore, each device 100, 200 is arranged in such a way that if the user leaves a part...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for automatic bartering for items, between at least a first and a second bartering party, at a programmable device. The process of bartering is enhanced by letting the programmable device handle at least a part of the bartering process that helps in reducing the amount of items that the user has to consider, and in selecting the most interesting items available from the other user. The method includes exchange of preference data between the parties, computing and exchanging offers, and processing the offers. The processing finally results in mutual offer acceptances. The present invention also relates to a programmable device, and a system for automatic bartering for items.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods, programmable devices and systems for bartering items between two or more parties. Background technique [0002] Bartering for items is a practice that goes back a long way. Today we learn about it, for example, on campus, where we trade dead stock or football cards with our friends. [0003] US 2003 / 0001882 A1 describes an amusement machine which can be used to exchange items between a pair of such machines. The machines communicate with each other via short-range wireless communication facilities. Items that the first user wants to exchange are displayed in the select item window at the first device, and items that the second user offers to the first user are also displayed in the offer item window at the first device. If the user agrees to exchange the items (the items are displayed in the select item window and offer item window respectively), he presses an accept button on his device. After both users h...
