Appeal 2007-1992
Application 09/318,447
The claimed invention is directed to a method and system for placing
an order over the Internet. Claims 108, 126, 151, and 176 are the
independent claims. Claim 108 is drawn to a method of ordering an item
“whereby [a] user does not need to log in to the server system when
ordering the item, but needs to log in to the server system when changing
previously supplied account information.” Claim 151 is drawn to a system
comprising a “[a] client identifier identifying account information previously
supplied by a user wherein the user does not need to log in to the server
system when ordering the item; and a component that updates account
information by coordinating the log in of the user to the server system,
receiving updated account information from the user, and sending the
updated account information to the server system.” Claim 176 is drawn to a
method of ordering an item comprising the step of “generating an order for
[an] identified item using [ ] account information associated with [a]
received client identifier wherein the user does not need to log in to the
computer system to order the item; and when account information is to be
changed, coordinating the log in of the user to the computer system;
receiving from the client system updated account information; and updating
the account information associated with the client identifier of the logged in
user based on the received updated account information.” Accordingly all
three of claims 108, 151, and 176 provide that the user does not need to log
in to the computer to order an item. Claim 126 is a method of ordering an
item “wherein the server computer automatically combines orders into a
single order.”
