Abstract:
A method and system for conducting an online transaction to fulfill a rail-shipment service inquiry or a rail-shipment service ordering. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) is configured by dynamically modifying an input object providing equipment options a user can select for a shipment of goods. Configuring the GUI comprises providing a hardware server arrangement including a machine readable storage encoded with software for implementing operations for configuring the GUI to alter selectable options on a GUI on a remote customer client system. Signals are sent to the remote customer client system to direct the GUI to implement a first input object configured to accept a user input identifying goods to be shipped. Signals are received from the remote customer client system conveying the user input identifying the goods to be shipped. These signals are processed at the hardware server arrangement to derive freight railcar types suitable to transport the particular goods and signals are then sent to the remote customer client system to direct a second input object implemented by the GUI to present to the user individually selectable freight railcar type options corresponding to derived the freight railcar types omitting railcar type options that cannot transport the particular goods. In response to reception of signals from the remote customer client system indicative of a selection of a freight railcar type option by the user, signals are generated and sent to the remote customer client system for adapting the GUI to deliver additional information to the customer or request from the customer additional input in order to complete the online transaction.

Claim (Index 17):
A method for conducting an online transaction to fulfill a rail-shipment service inquiry or a rail-shipment service ordering, the method comprising:\n (a) directing a customer system to implement a Graphical User Interface (GUI) providing an input object configured to accept a customer input identifying goods to be shipped; (b) in response to the customer input identifying the goods to be shipped, the GUI configured for presenting a plurality of individually selectable freight railcar type options, the plurality of individually selectable freight railcar type options omitting freight railcar type options corresponding to freight railcar types that cannot transport the goods to be shipped identified at the customer input; (c) the GUI being configured to receive a customer selection of a freight railcar type option among the plurality of selectable freight railcar type options; (d) in response to the customer selection of the freight railcar type option among the plurality of selectable freight railcar type options, adapting the GUI to deliver additional information to the customer about the shipment or request from the customer additional input in order to complete the online transaction.
