1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the design of user interface in the context of electronic commerce. More specifically, the present invention pertains to a system and method for implementing an intermediary to preserve user privacy and anonymity in electronic transactions.
2. Related Art
In recent years, electronic commerce (e-commerce) has evolved to become an important part of modern commerce. New electronic storefronts spring up on the Internet daily, and many traditional sellers also have established their presence on the Internet or have plans to do in the near future. By way of background, the Internet is a worldwide collection of computer networks and gateways that generally use the TCP/IP suite of protocols to communicate with one another. The Internet allows easy access to media and data from a variety of sources, and is capable of delivering such information to users wherever they may be. Over the past few years, the Internet has experienced vast commercialization and has evolved into a worldwide information super-highway and database, containing information on every subject known to humankind.
The most prevalent and popular aspect of the Internet is the World Wide Web (also called the “Web”). The Web is an Internet facility that allows a server computer system (e.g., a Web server or a Web site) to send Web documents, commonly known as Web pages, to a remote client computer system. The remote client computer system can then display the Web documents using a Web browser. Typically, a Web page contains links (hyperlinks) that let users jump from page to page whether the pages are stored on the same server or on different servers around the world.
The Web has become the center of Internet activity since, among other reasons, Web pages, containing both text and graphics, provide a user-friendly graphical interface to the Internet. The Web is also conducive for conducting e-commerce. Many Web servers have been developed through which on-line vendors (e-vendors) can advertise and sell products and services. Some e-vendors provide an on-line catalog listing the items that are available. A user may browse through the on-line catalog using a browser and select various items that he/she desires to order. Typically, when the user has finished selecting the items, he/she is then prompted to enter his personal information, such as credit card information, shipping address, etc., so as to complete the ordering process. The Web server then confirms the order by sending a confirmation Web page to the client computer and schedules shipment of the ordered items.
Nevertheless, many consumers feel uneasy or are even unwilling to engage in these on-line transactions due to the lack of anonymity. More particularly, during an electronic transaction, information about the transaction (e.g., items ordered) as well as information of a personal nature (e.g., name, address, credit card number of the consumer) are typically and necessarily sent to the vendor. While aggregating such information may be invaluable to the vendors for various purposes, such as using the information to track the buying habits of consumers and/or directing targeted advertising to them, the majority of consumers prefer to remain anonymous in on-line transactions so that their privacy can be better preserved. Thus, it would be advantageous to provide a mechanism by which electronic transactions can be consummated without having to compromise the identity of individual consumers.
Another problem exists for consumers who patronize multiple e-vendors. Typically, each e-vendor requires a patron to establish a personal profile or account (e.g., setting up a user name and password) before a transaction can be entered into. The process of establishing such a profile or account must generally be repeated for each and every e-vendor that the consumer deals with as different e-vendors are usually not affiliated with one another and thus each maintains its own user accounts. Since these multiple accounts are created separately at different entities, more often than not they have different attributes, such as user names and passwords. Even where the consumer is allowed to choose his/her own user name, it is unlikely that the same user name can be had at the various e-vendors because a desired name is often already taken by another consumer. The situation is even less desirable where the e-vendor's system arbitrarily assigns a user name that does not bear any meaning to the consumer.
Due to the above reasons, an individual consumer who patronize multiple e-vendors must therefore remember all of his/her user names and their respective passwords as well as which e-vendor's Web site they each corresponds to in order to access those sites to transact business. As such, apart from being unable to remain anonymous as described above, it is also very cumbersome, confusing and inconvenient for the consumer to have to manage numerous unrelated and sometime convoluted user names and passwords. Therefore, it would be very beneficial to have a mechanism whereby the consumer can conveniently transact business with multiple e-vendors without having to deal with numerous unrelated user names and passwords for accessing individual Web sites and to do so anonymously.
A different but related problem presents itself for consumers who patronize multiple e-vendors. Since each e-vendor maintains its own user accounts, a consumer who conducts business with multiple e-vendors would receive separate transaction statements and correspondence (e.g., billing statements, order confirmations, etc.) from each individual e-vendor. The large volume of records and correspondence generated would quickly become cumbersome and unwieldy for the consumer to manage. Therefore, it would be advantageous to provide a mechanism that helps the consumer avoid having to handle vast amounts of records and correspondence from different e-vendors with whom the consumer transacts business.
Furthermore, it is appreciated that compatibility is essential in developing an interfacing mechanism. More specifically, different e-vendors are likely to set up different electronic storefronts (e.g., different Web site layout and navigation) in an e-commerce environment. Thus, it would be desirable to provide an interfacing mechanism for consumers to conveniently transact business with multiple e-vendors without compromising the individual consumer's identity and without the need to maintain numerous user names, passwords or transaction records such that the mechanism is compatible and applicable to differing Web sites that are present in the e-commerce environment.
It would be advantageous to provide a mechanism by which electronic transactions can be consummated without having to compromise the identity of individual consumers. Furthermore, it would also be advantageous for such a mechanism to allow the consumer to conveniently transact business with multiple e-vendors without the need to manage numerous unrelated user names and passwords or vast amounts of transaction records. Additionally, it would be desirable to provide a mechanism that is compatible and applicable to different Web sites that are present in the e-commerce environment.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a system and method for implementing an intermediary to preserve user privacy and anonymity in electronic transactions. By so doing, embodiments of the present invention promote broad consumer acceptance and participation in electronic transactions because of the added assurance that their personal information are better protected. Moreover, embodiments of the present invention greatly simplify the management of user names, passwords as well as record-keeping for on-line consumers by allowing each consumer to establish a single subscriber account through which transactions with different e-vendors can be conducted. Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention can be used to transact business at a wide spectrum of e-commerce Web sites which have different layouts and navigation paradigms, thereby providing a ubiquitous solution for the subscribing consumer. These and other advantages of the present invention not specifically mentioned above will become clear within discussions of the present invention presented herein.
More specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, a computer implemented method for facilitating a transaction between a subscriber and a vendor through an intermediary is provided. In this embodiment, the method comprises the step of receiving at the intermediary personal information from the subscriber to establish a user account. The method also comprises the step of storing the personal information for subsequent access. The method further comprises the step of receiving a request from the subscriber to access the user account, upon which the subscriber's identity is verified by the intermediary against the personal information. The method also comprises the step of the intermediary entering into a transaction with the vendor on behalf of the subscriber based on the subscriber's instruction once the subscriber's identity is successfully verified. The method further comprises the step of notifying the subscriber upon completion of the transaction. Importantly, the transaction is completed without disclosing the subscriber's personal information to the vendor. As such, the consumer remains anonymous with respect to the vendor. In a specific embodiment, the present invention includes the above steps and further includes the step of preparing an account activity statement for the subscriber. In one embodiment, the present invention includes the above and further includes the step of receiving at the intermediary an item ordered from the vendor on behalf of the subscriber based on the subscriber's instruction, as well as the step of billing the subscriber for services rendered.
Embodiments of the present invention include the above steps and further comprise the step of receiving at the intermediary a post-delivery request about the item from the subscriber, and the step of handling the post-delivery request on behalf of the subscriber. Particularly, in a currently preferred embodiment, such a post-delivery request can be a return request, a repair request, an exchange request, a warranty submission request, or a rebate request.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention:
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. While the invention will be described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, it will be understood that they are not intended to limit the invention to these embodiments. To the contrary, the invention is intended to cover alternatives, modifications and equivalents, which may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Furthermore, in the following detailed description of the present invention, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be clear to one of ordinary skill in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well known methods, procedures, components, and circuits have not been described in detail as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the present invention.
The following description of the present invention will begin with a description of the notation and nomenclature used in the present application and an exemplary configuration of a general purpose computer system on which embodiments of the present invention may be practiced. This description will then be followed by a detailed description setting forth the operation of the present invention.
Some portions of the detailed descriptions which follow are presented in terms of procedures, steps, logic blocks, processing, and other symbolic representations of operations on data bits within a computer memory. These descriptions and representations are the means used by those skilled in the data processing arts to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. A procedure, computer executed step, logic block, process, etc., is here, and generally, conceived to be a self-consistent sequence of steps or instructions leading to a desired result. The steps are those requiring physical manipulations of physical quantities to achieve tangible and useful results. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical or magnetic signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, and otherwise manipulated in a computer system. It has proved convenient at times, principally for reasons of common usage, to refer to these signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, numbers, or the like.
It should be borne in mind, however, that all of these and similar terms are to be associated with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely convenient labels applied to these quantities. Unless specifically stated otherwise as apparent from the following discussions, it is appreciated that throughout the present invention, discussions utilizing terms such as “receiving”, “storing”, “entering”, “notifying” or the like, refer to the action and processes of a computer system (e.g.,
Computer system 100 of
Computer system 100 also includes data storage features such as a computer-usable volatile memory 106 (e.g., random access memory (RAM)) coupled to bus 102 for storing information and instructions for central processor unit 104, computer-usable non-volatile memory 108 (e.g., read only memory (ROM)) coupled to bus 102 for storing static information and instructions for central processor unit 104, and a data storage device 110 (e.g., a magnetic or optical disk and disk drive) coupled to bus 102 for storing information and instructions. Data storage device 110 can include one or more removable magnetic or optical storage media (e.g., diskettes, tapes) which are computer readable memories. Memory units of computer system 100 include 106, 108 and 110. It should be noted that aspects of the present invention may be implemented as a computer program running on computer system 100. Alternatively, aspects of the present invention may be embodied as a computer program stored on a computer-readable medium, such as volatile memory 106 or data storage device 110 (e.g., hard disk, floppy disk, etc.) In accordance with the present invention, signal input output communication device 112 can receive various incoming transaction requests.
Optionally, computer system 100 may also include an alphanumeric input device 114 having alphanumeric and function keys and coupled to bus 102 for communicating information and command selections to central processor unit 104, a cursor control device 116 coupled to bus 102 for communicating user input information and command selections to central processor unit 104, and a display device 118 coupled to bus 102 for displaying information (e.g., text, graphics images).

It is appreciated that the content delivered by the server can include special processing instructions (e.g., get the content from another server via the URI associated with a hyperlink, etc.) Specifically, it is appreciated that Web pages can include content that is stored locally (e.g., on the server hosting the requested Web page) or remotely (e.g., on a server other than the hosting server). As such, if the requested Web page contains URIs that point to another server, client software 221 would request those remote content from the other server. In other words, the hosting server and the other server need not communicate directly even if the requested Web page includes remote content.

In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, when a new user visits the intermediary's Web site to subscribe to the intermediary's services, the user is prompted to provide requisite personal information, such as the user's name and address, so that an account profile can be created for the user. Optionally, if the new subscriber so desires, additional information such as credit card information and personal preferences can also be stored within the customer's profile so that the customer does not need to enter the information every time a transaction is being entered into. In a currently preferred embodiment, user account profiles are stored in database 233 of strawman server 230.

More specifically, once a consumer becomes a subscriber to the intermediary's services, the consumer-subscriber can decide on a transaction-by-transaction basis whether to make use of the services or not in any given transaction. Occasionally, the consumer-subscriber may decide that anonymity is not critical in a particular transaction. In that case, the consumer-subscriber would simply engage in the transaction directly with the e-vendor without going through the intermediary. In such transactions, strawman server 230 is not involved and software module 224 needs not be active on client system 220.
On the other hand, when the consumer-subscriber wants to transact business anonymously through the intermediary, then in one embodiment of the present invention, the consumer-subscriber would launch software module 224 on client system 220 before initiating the desired transaction. In another embodiment, software module 224 is launched automatically when the consumer-subscriber starts the browser program on client system 220. Once it is up and running on client system 220, software module 224 works in conjunction with client software 221 to communicate with strawman server 230 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Stated differently, software module 224 and client software 221 together generate and present the user interface (UI) 320 (described below with reference to

It should be appreciated that the specific features of UI 320 described herein with respect to the instant embodiment are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the present invention thereto. Rather, certain features can be omitted and/or additional features not specifically mentioned herein can be included without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Moreover, in one embodiment, a subset of the features within UI 320 can be hidden from view or disabled under the control of software module 224 whenever those features are not applicable under the circumstances (e.g., “Logoff” button 325 is not displayed when the consumer-subscriber is not logged on) to present a clean, uncluttered look to the consumer-subscriber and to facilitate easy navigation.

Significantly, within the scope of the present invention, the information of the selection (e.g., what item has been selected by the consumer-subscriber and at which e-vendor Web site) is transmitted to strawman server 230 through the consumer-subscriber's client software 221 and software module 224 in a transparent manner. However, the e-vendor remains totally uninformed as to the identity of the consumer-subscriber because no information about the consumer-subscriber is transmitted to the e-vendor. Moreover, in one embodiment, information about the pending transaction is not yet conveyed to the e-vendor thus far.
Once strawman server 230 has received the selection information, strawman server 230 initiates a transaction with the e-vendor on behalf of the consumer-subscriber based on the selection information. Importantly, within the scope of the present invention, strawman server 230 provides to the e-vendor information about the intermediary for purposes of conducting the transaction (e.g., in a purchase transaction, the product is shipped to the intermediary and billed to the intermediary's account as if the intermediary is the end-user) without ever revealing any information about the consumer-subscriber, who is the real party to the transaction behind the scene, to the e-vendor. As such, the present invention completely shields the identity and transaction history of the consumer-subscriber from the e-vendor, thus preserving the anonymity and privacy of the consumer-subscriber in each and every transaction conducted via the intermediary.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the intermediary establishes accounts in its name with numerous e-vendors and furnishes a list of all those e-vendors with whom it has such accounts to its subscribers. The subscribers can then transaction business with any of the e-vendors on that list through the intermediary. In this embodiment, the intermediary collects and indexes multiple e-vendors under a single Web site so that consumers can comparison shop and/or choose from among different e-vendors all from the same site, thus offering added convenience and flexibility to savvy on-line consumers.
In another embodiment, the consumer-subscriber is able to transact business with any e-vendor of his/her choice through the intermediary. In this embodiment, once the consumer-subscriber's selection is received at strawman server 230, it determines whether an established account already exists between the intermediary and the e-vendor chosen by the consumer-subscriber. If an account is already in existence, strawman server 230 simply logs into the account and conduct the transaction based on the selection information. On the other hand, if there is no established account relationship between the intermediary and the e-vendor of choice, strawman server 230 proceeds to set up an account with the e-vendor in the name of the intermediary, and then the transaction as requested by the consumer-subscriber is conducted using the newly established account.
Once again, it is important to note that in all embodiments of the present invention the e-vendor is merely aware that it is transacting business with the intermediary but is at all times without any knowledge as to who the ultimate consumer is. By acting in a capacity similar to that of an escrow agent but in addition shielding the identity of the consumer-subscriber from the e-vendor, the intermediary advantageously protects the anonymity and privacy of the consumer-subscriber in each and every transaction conducted in accordance with the present invention.

Furthermore, referring still to
Moreover, in a currently preferred embodiment, even after the consumer-subscriber has received shipment of the ordered item(s) from the intermediary in a purchase transaction, additional services are available to the consumer-subscriber with respect to those items. More particularly, the consumer-subscriber may want to return the item, to exchange the item for other merchandise, to have the item sent in for repairs, to submit a warranty card or a rebate request, or to request other post-delivery services regarding the item(s) ordered through the intermediary using the subscriber's account. To that end, the consumer-subscriber can submit such post-delivery requests to the vendor or manufacturer through the intermediary. Importantly, the consumer-subscriber again is able to benefit from the advantages offered by the intermediary's services, namely, to remain anonymous with respect to the vendors and manufacturers, who are uninformed as to the identity of the ultimate consumer but are merely aware that business is being transacted with the intermediary.

Significantly, since the method of the present invention as described is highly configurable, it can easily be tailored for use with a wide spectrum of e-commerce Web sites which have different layouts and navigation paradigms. Moreover, the consumer-subscriber does not have to get involved with the underlying aspects of the present invention. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention (e.g., software module 224 of
The foregoing description thus clearly demonstrates that intermediary services implemented in accordance with embodiments of the present invention are highly advantageous to the consumer-subscriber. More particularly, by subscribing to the intermediary services described herein, the consumer-subscriber is not only able to remain anonymous with respect to the e-vendors with whom the consumer-subscriber transact business, but the consumer-subscriber is also able to eliminate the need to establish and maintain multiple user names and passwords with the individual e-vendors. Additionally, the consumer-subscriber is able to avoid the hassle of having to deal with records from numerous vendors. Instead, the consumer-subscriber enjoys a centralized, consolidated view of all the electronic transactions conducted through his/her account with the intermediary, thus fully avoiding the inconvenience and burden of having to keep track of activities with each and every vendor separately. This greatly simplifies the life of the consumer-subscriber and enhances the electronic transaction experience. Therefore, embodiments of the present invention promote broad consumer acceptance and participation in electronic transactions because of the added assurance that their personal information are better protected and the added convenience of transactions management. Moreover, since the intermediary provides value-added services that are highly desirable to on-line consumers who are increasingly concerned about their privacy and anonymity, the present invention also provides the framework for a viable and profitable business model in the fast evolving environment of e-commerce.
Although certain embodiments of the present invention as described herein pertains primarily to on-line purchases, it is appreciated that many other advantageous applications are possible within the scope of the present invention. For example, the present invention can be advantageously applied to conduct on-line financial transactions, so that a financial institution, as a lender, for instance, needs not and does not know the identity of its borrower as long as the lender can be assured through the intermediary that the borrower meets certain credit-worthiness criteria as prescribed by the lender. In another embodiment, the present invention can be advantageously used in anonymous on-line exchanges of all forms of digital media. Therefore, the present invention enables numerous possibilities in a new paradigm wherein electronic transactions can be conducted anonymously among transacting parties with the aid of an intermediary or “strawman” in accordance with the present invention. It should be clear to a person of ordinary skill in the art, having read the description of embodiments of the present invention herein, that other applications and embodiments not expressly described herein are also possible without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
The preferred embodiment of the present invention, a system and method for implementing an intermediary to preserve user privacy and anonymity in electronic transactions, is thus described. While the present invention has been described in particular embodiments, it should be appreciated that the present invention should not be construed as limited by such embodiments, but rather construed according to the below claims.
