5 12. Cameron is directed towards computerized event-driven routing in an
6 order entry system. One embodiment of Cameron’s invention provides
7 computerized user assistance and marketing functions during the user’s
8 order placement. This occurs by defining one or more user-initiated
9 events and one or more application points. Each of the application points
10 is associated with at least one of the user-initiated events. An action is
11 assigned to each of the application points. The actions assigned to a
12 particular application point are dynamically invoked upon initiation of
13 the user-initiated event associated with that application point, in order
14 that the user is provided with the action at a point during the placement
15 of an order at which the action is needed. (Cameron, col. 2, ll. 41-62.)
16 13. Cameron describes one of the key features of billing module 36 as the
17 ability to allocate an order total across a plurality of payment methods.
18 Any combination of the customer's previously used payment methods, or
19 new payment method or methods may be assigned to an order as long as
20 at least one payment method is selected. As is shown in FIG. 13, the
21 customer may allocate either a dollar amount or a percent of the total
22 order amount to each payment method, with the exception of coupons
23 and gift certificates that state a specific dollar off amount. The dollar
24 amount allocation is captured in dollar amount data capture field 116,
25 while the percent to allocate is captured in percent data capture field 118.
