IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2007-11-07
Abstract: An automated communication system supplies a requested offer for inventory to an offeree based on the offeree's transaction history. A consumer can request an offer for inventory using a consumer device that transmits to a Requested Offer Supplier (ROS) the request, information pertaining to an account in a payment processing system, and a return address. The ROS matches the consumer's request for inventory to a set of merchants having that inventory that are willing to make an offer for the requested inventory based on the consumer's transaction history. The ROS transmits the offer to the consumer via the return address. The consumer accept the merchant's offer by entering into a transaction with the merchant for the requested inventory that applies the offer to the transaction.
