David J. Reese - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Versata Development Group, Inc. - Austin TX

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 37

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for filtering and/or sorting responses to electronic requests for quotes for a product or products offered for sale includes comparing first data of each of a plurality electronic quotes to first data of an electronic request for quote. Each of the plurality of electronic quotes is classified as either a matching quote or a non-matching quote. After the quotes are classified, each classified quote is ranked, for example, by the total price of the product or products offered for sale. Classification into distinct categories is used to apply techniques to make quotes comparable. Inexact matches can be adjusted to allow comparison between exact matching quotes and the adjusted inexact matching quotes.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 711, 705 11

Abstract:

A commerce router is disclosed. Such a commerce router includes a plurality of commercial transaction databases and an application server module. Each of the databases can contain commercial transaction information related to one of a number of offering types (e. g. , categories of products, services and/or the like). Application server module is communicatively coupled to the each one of the databases. The application server module can be configured to receive a request by virtue of being configured to communicate information regarding the request to the database for inclusion in the commercial transaction information. The application server module can also be configured to allow review of the request by virtue of being configured to communicate information regarding the request from the database by accessing the commercial transaction information. Similarly, the application server module can be configured to receive a response by virtue of being configured to communicate information regarding the response to the database for inclusion in the commercial transaction information. The application server module can also be configured to allow review of the response by virtue of being configured to communicate information regarding the response from the database by accessing the commercial transaction information.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus filters and/or sorts responses to electronic requests for quotes for a product or products offered for sale. The method includes comparing first data of each of a plurality electronic quotes to first data of an electronic request for quote. Each of the plurality of electronic quotes is classified as either a matching quote or a non-matching quote in response to the computer system comparing first data of the plurality electronic quotes and the electronic request for quote. Each matching quote is identified as having first data that equals the first data of the electronic request for quote. Each non-matching quote is defined as having first data that does not equal the first data of the electronic request for quote.
