No. 7,136,829. Each of the aforementioned patent(s) and application(s) are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- 1. Technical Field
- The invention relates generally to providing a shopping service on the Internet and, more particularly, is directed to a system for retaining shopping selections from a multitude of websites in a location from which the shopping selections can be later accessed.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Throughout the history of man, there has been the desire to acquire possessions. At the early point of man's existence, the main focus was acquiring such necessities as food and water. As man has developed over the eons, the constant drive to possess necessities has evolved to possessing non-necessities such as big screen TV's and cellular phones. One method for acquiring such non-necessities has been the shopping list. Typically a shopping list is created by a person walking through a mall, finding things that they like, and physically writing them down onto a piece of paper.
- As time has passed, online or Internet shopping has become increasingly popular. Unfortunately, the development of shopping lists has not yet accompanied the development of the Internet. Currently, while online shopping lists exist, they only work on a single website. This requires a person who typically shops from many websites, to have multiple shopping lists, one from each website. Also, current Internet shopping lists do not allow a user to add items to his shopping list from a search result. And also, current shopping list systems must be highly integrated with a shopping website for the shopping list and the website to function together.
- What is needed is a shopping list that works with many shopping websites. What is needed is a shopping list that can add an item from a search result. What is needed is a shopping list that can add an item from a website that is not highly integrated with the shopping list system.
- A method and apparatus is disclosed that provides a shopping list service such as a wish list for deferred purchasing. The shopping list comprises information, such as the name of the item, a brief description of the item, the date the item was added to the list, and a link to a product page for the item.
- To add an item to the shopping list, a user clicks on an add to wish list button located on web locations such as, a product page, a banner ad, or search results. When a user views his shopping list he performs such functions as, viewing the items on the list, removing items from the list, linking to a product page and purchasing the item.
- A reminder system is used to remind a user to purchase an item at a future time. The shopping list service is integrated in such ways as, a high level of integration and a low level of integration. When integrated at a low level, a proxy platform is used to add buttons, such as, a buy button and an add to wish list button. The proxy platform is an intermediate website with which the shopping website is viewed.

FIG. 1A illustrates a typicalshopping website page 100. The website sells DVD players. The website page displays the name of theDVD player 110, theprice 120 and the quantity selected 130. -
FIG. 1B illustrates the same web page with an Add to WishList button 140. Activation of the Add to WishList button 140 adds the product to the user's shopping/wish list. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a preferred embodiment of thewish list 200. Thewish list 200 records item and web page information, more particularly, purchase information, so that a user can track the selected products. The wish list records theproduct name 210,URL 220,price 230,manufacturer 240, and the date 250 that the product was added to the wish list. The shopping/wish list system automatically checks the URL on a routine basis to ensure that it is still valid. A user purchases the item by pressing the add toshopping cart button 260 on the wish list page. A user also views items similar to the items on his wish list by selecting the See more items like those in your Wish List button 285. A user accesses the wish list either by logging on through a login site or by automatically being logged on through an Internet service provider such as AOL produced by America Online Inc. of Vienna, Va. - In a preferred embodiment, URL information for website items are tracked by correlating the URL for a product to the product's stock keeping unit (SKU). Each product or item has a unique SKU number. The SKU number does not change. However, URL's often change. As pages are changed, so are the products' URL's. Using the SKU as an intermediate reference allows a validation process to point to the current URL from the SKU. When the wish list system checks a website to see if a URL is valid, it reads the SKU value of the item, then reads the corresponding URL listed by the website, and checks the URL value with the URL kept by the shopping list system. If the URL values match, then the URL is valid. If the URL's do not match, then it is not valid.
- An item is added to the wish list by several other methods. One such method is by pressing an Add to Wish List button located next to an item listed in a search result.

Search results are obtained from multiple merchants who are part of the wish list system. Other methods of adding items to the wish list include pressing an add to wish list button located on, a banner ad, a decision guide, a promotional browser window, a personal shopper's toolbar and a product page. Items are removed from the wish list by selecting the item and pressing the delete button 270. A user can also save search results onto his wish list. - Promotions such as coupons are typically offered through a promotional browser window that pops up when a user views his wish list. The coupons typically relate to items on the user's wish list. The coupons are offered for a limited time.
-
FIG. 4 illustrates aweb page 400 listing the items 410 for a recipe. A user saves all the items 410 on the recipe by pressing theAdd All button 420. Add all buttons are provided where it is likely that a user will purchase many related items at once. Examples are, but not limited to, recipes, pieces of gym equipment, a book series and computer parts. - The user has the option to name his wish list. Typically the name of wish lists relates to events, such as, weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries. These lists can be merged to create a single list. Also, the wish lists of multiple users can be merged together.
- Once a wish list is accessed, the user has multiple options. One such option is clicking on a wish list item link 220 to access the item's
product page 100. Another such option is that he purchases the item from the wish list page by activating a buy button or begins the process of purchasing the item by pressing the Add tocart button 260. - A user shares his wish list with others by several ways. One such way is to make the wish list accessible through the user's profile. The wish list is accessible by another person while viewing the user's profile. In a preferred embodiment, the user's profile is accessed by typing in the user's screen name in a user search window available through the wish list service host. The user has the option to preclude others from searching through his wish list. Also, the user can set up a password step that a potential wish list viewer must enter before he views the wish list.
- Alternatively, the user shares his wish list by emailing a link to the wish list. The email provides a link to the user's profile and/or wish list, where the email recipient then views it.
- In a preferred embodiment, the buy button and/or shopping cart purchase system is linked to a cyber wallet. A cyber wallet typically resides on a client computer system, and performs financial transactions, such as purchases, by communicating with a server application on a server computer system. For example, a user on a client computer system decides to purchase software from a server computer system that belongs to a software vendor. Protocols such as the Secure Electronic Transactions (SET) protocol and the Open Trading Protocol (OTP) enable the server computer system to receive a payment for the software from a cyber wallet on the client computer system. Using these protocols, this payment is automatically deducted from an account linked to the cyber wallet on the client computer system, and is automatically credited to an account linked to an application on the server computer system.
- The wish list system keeps statistical data on the items saved on the wish list. The statistical data kept is, but not limited to, number of users creating wish lists, average number of products added per wish list, total number of products wished for, average number of products wished for per list, the link which led to the creation of the wish list, number of click-throughs generated by the wish list, number of public lists, number of shared lists, average number of recipients per shared list, number of guest viewers of all wish lists, number of removed products per list, number of purged lists, top twenty most popular products, number of anonymous wish lists created, number of anonymous wish lists saved, and the number of Jot-It-Down buttons. An anonymous wish list is a wish list for a user choosing to sign into an associated user registration process anonymously, whereby such wish list may be kept for a temporary amount of time, such as, for example, thirty days. A Jot-It-Down button is a button linking to a Jot-It-Down feature within the user's wish list. Such feature allows the user to enter a description is and a date and a time for when to check the wish list, and, optionally create an associated link in the user's calendar for such date and time back to the wish list.

FIG. 5 illustrates acalendar system 500 that enables a user to set future reminders. A user selects adate 510 and then entersinformation 520 that will be used to remind him at a later time. Such information includes, but is not limited to, anniversaries, birthdays, and when to purchase a product. A user is able to configure the calendar to automatically purchase an item on the user's wish list on a future date. The item is automatically purchased by receiving information from the user's cyber wallet. Price-based alerts remind the user to purchase a product if the product should equal or fall below a designated price. - In another embodiment, the buy and add to wish list buttons are added to a website that is not highly integrated. Typically, a high level of integration is required between a website and a cyber wallet provider and/or a cyber mall to add functions such as, a buy and add a wish list button. A proxy platform adds these buttons with a low level of integration. The proxy is described in the co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/017,662, Proxy Platform Integration System (filed Dec. 14, 2001) and is commonly assigned to Netscape Communications, Inc. of Mountain View, Calif., which application is incorporated herein in its entirety by this reference thereto.
- The proxy platform acts as an intermediate website that alters the appearance of another website. A user views the website through the proxy. The proxy platform adds, removes or rearranges elements on the website. The proxy platform adds functional elements such as a button that interacts with the website. To the user, the integration of the website and the proxy platform is seamless, such that the user believes what he is seeing is an unaltered website.
- A buy button on the proxy platform provides automatic form filling by accessing the user's cyber wallet and relaying purchase information to a merchant website. Each piece of information is designated properly and entered onto the merchant's purchase form. The add to wish list button adds items to the user's wish list.
- A proxy platform is created by parsing a website, and mapping the elements of the website. Rules are created that designate how the elements of the website are to be manipulated. For example, in addition to manipulating the website by adding and removing elements, web elements can be manipulated by moving them around the page such that the layout of the web elements are different than the original.
