Title: Method and apparatus for a trans-modal quote request channel
Inventor: DUKE MICHAEL T
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2000-11-17
Abstract: A trans-modal, newspaper/Internet quote request channel for automobile sales by manufacturer-franchised dealers is disclosed. The quote request channel provides non-exclusive sales leads to all dealers subscribing to a given local advertizing cooperative. The sales leads are generated in response to quote requests from buyers visiting a web site advertized by conventional advertizing cooperatives in the print media and on television and/or radio.  The channel transmits each buyer's description of a desired, which may include narrative rather than manufacturer's model specifications, to all members of the advertizing cooperative as quote requests, and stores all quotes received in response to the buyers's requests. No personal information need be disclosed by buyers to dealers in order to receive quotes, and a request for quotes can be held open to permit dealers to revise their initial quotes. The administrator of the quote request channel is paid only a fixed fee for each sale by the dealer who makes a sale. Thus the administrator is independent of both the dealers and the manufacturer and can protect buyers by sanctioning dealers who are found to have provided tardy, inadequate or misleading replies to quote requests.

Title: Method and apparatus for distribution of bandwidth in a switch
Inventor: TUFVESSON PETER
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-04-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for distribution of bandwidth in a switch or router. More particularly, the invention relates to a scheduler and an associated algorithm for distributing bandwidth over data traffic directed to output ports and received in various traffic classes and flows. The switch comprises a switching fabric. Preferably, the bandwidth scheduler is located before output queues, and the method comprises: receiving a stream of data from the switching fabric; subjecting the stream to a decision making algorithm in the bandwidth scheduler resulting in that the stream is forwarded or interrupted (accepted or rejected). Preferably, the stream of data includes identifiable data packets and the decision making algorithm in the bandwidth scheduler results in that the data packet is accepted or rejected. The bandwidth scheduler may be located before the output queues leading to early discarding of packets and efficient use of output buffer memory. The algorithm includes logical rules operating on counters and variables recording the accepted traffic to implement the bandwidth distribution. The algorithm enables weighted distribution and short term as well as long term fairness.
