1 10. Bogosian’s actions described as being performed by Amazon.com, or
2 by the web site operator, are performed automatically by executable
3 components of the web site system (Bogosian, col. 4, ll. 19-22).
4 11. Bogosian describes a host web site that includes a web server that
5 processes user requests via a network, such as the Internet. The host web
6 site includes a database that includes among other things, product
7 information pages, and includes a catalog server that provides a forum
8 for third party sellers to advertise and sell products. The catalog server
9 includes a transaction facility that receives purchase requests from
10 buyers, and a catalog database containing information about the third
11 party sellers and their associated products (Bogosian, col. 4, ll. 23-39).
12 12. The sales handled by the catalog server may be via auctions, via
13 fixed-price marketplaces (i.e., online "flea markets"), or via any other
14 method using third party sellers (Bogosian, col. 4, ll. 39-42).
15 13. Following registration, a seller can post information about items that
16 are for sale. In an Amazon.com implementation, the seller can select
17 between an Auctions option and a zShops (fixed price) option when
18 posting an item for sale. If the user has registered to use Amazon.com
19 Payments, the posted items are preferably displayed on the web site
20 together with a "1-Click Ready" slogan or an associated icon to indicate
21 to buyers that the seller accepts Amazon.com Payments, and that such
22 payments can optionally be made using the site's 1-Click service
23 (Bogosian, col. 5, ll. 17-27).
