Benefits of technology

Facilitates targeted research and analysis by enabling direct contact between buyers and sellers, enhancing the purchasing process by providing a mechanism for sellers to contact buyers based on their preferences.

Problems solved by technology

However, in some cases, although the user may access product information online, the user may not acquire enough information (e.g., about the product or about the seller) to convince the user to purchase a product.
However, typically the search results themselves lack the ability to submit a request for more information.
Thus, some users waste time and other resources sifting through and evaluating the enormous amount of information available on individual web sites when more efficient and targeted research and analysis for a prospective purchase could be accomplished by direct contact with a seller.

Abstract

A search based call back request system enables a user to request a follow up contact from a seller. The system provides search functionality and stores seller information such that when search results appear for sellers that have requested to offer call back service to a buyer, the system formats the search results screen to include a call back request indicator for the seller. The system includes functionality for the user to enter custom call back data.
