Patent ID: 8700506

Claim:
A networked computer implemented method for managing commercial interactions, comprising: transmitting data bundles by a computer system having a bundle-passing interface from different ones of a first plurality of different networked users to different ones of a second plurality of different networked users, the bundles comprising meta data and the bundle-passing interface comprising distribution logic to electronically transmit the bundles; monitoring by the computer system using a statistics collection engine the transmission from the first plurality of different networked users to the second plurality of different networked users; monitoring by the computer system at least one response from the second plurality of different networked users; determining by the computer system usage statistics whenever the bundles are created, modified, or downloaded; converting by the computer system using a statistics processing engine the traffic statistics into billing amounts; converting by the computer system first traffic to different destinations to different billing amounts; and converting second traffic to billing amounts for events requested by programmed bundle processing logic.
