Buyer-side auction dynamic pricing agent, system, method and computer program product

The present invention sets forth a system, method, and computer program product for automating an interaction between a buyer and an electronic, variable, dynamic pricing online auction service. The method can include receiving a registration of a buyer at an Internet enabled buyer bidding site, a portfolio, and account information. The method can also receive entered information about financial transaction instruments, contact information, and product preferences in an auction profile. The method can receive a search query for a desired product from product auctions of a plurality of auction sites and can use a search agent or a meta-search agent, and can provide returned auctions, including retrieving and presenting current status of product auctions. The method can receive a selection of returned auctions to store in the portfolio for tracking by scan agents and for bidding by bid proxies. The method can receive selections of product auctions of the returned auctions and place the product auctions into the portfolio for use by a cascaded bid proxy. The method can provide auction monitoring by scan agents of temporal progression of product auctions, and can notify someone via a messaging center of any changes in relevant aspects of the status that could prevent an initial bid from being placed by a bid proxy. The method can enable activation of bid proxies as an auction nears completion to begin placing bids until the auction is won or lost by auction closing and can confirm a counter-offer has not out-bid. The method can compute and execute another higher bid if a counter-offer has been made and accepted, higher than the most recent bid detected

Internet-based consumer product brand marketing communication system which enables manufacturers, retailers and their respective agents, and consumers to carryout product-related functions along the demand side of the retail chain in an integrated manner

An Internet-based consumer product brand marketing communication system which enables manufacturers, retailers and their respective agents, and consumers to carryout product-related functions along the demand side of the retail chain. A central RDBMS (i.e. data warehouse) stores a central database of consumer product related information resource files (IRFs) each IRF being indexed with a Universal Product Number (UPN) assigned thereto by the manufacturer of the consumer product, or its designated agent, which relates to the consumer product. A first subsystem enables a manufacturer's marketing, brand and / or product managers to create and manage a local RDBMS containing UPN-indexed IRFs related to the consumer products of the manufacturer being offered for sale in both physical and / or electronic marketplaces, and periodically transport the local RDBMS of UPN-indexed IRFs to the central RDBMS by electronic data transport techniques. The local RDBMS of UPN-indexed IRFs is selected by the manufacturer's marketing, brand and / or product managers so as to create a desired brand image for each the consumer product of the manufacturer. A second subsystem enables consumers to access one or more UPN-indexed IRFs in the central RDBMS, to request and obtain information about a manufacturer's consumer product so as to make informed / educated purchases along the demand side of the retail chain. A third subsystem enables manufacturers and their advertising and marketing agents to access one or more UPN-indexed IRFs in the central RDBMS to display consumer product advertisements to consumers, at or near the point of purchase or sale within both physical and / or electronic retail shopping environments so as to project the desired brand image to consumers. A fourth subsystem enables retailers and their marketing and promotional agents to access one or more UPN-indexed IRFs in the central RDBMS, to promote consumer products to consumers, at or near the point of purchase or sale within both physical and / or electronic retail shopping environments so as to promote the sale of such products in inventory.
