Buying coke online in Isola 2000

A method and apparatus for information presentation and management in an online trading environment are provided. According to one aspect of the present invention, person-to-person commerce over the Internet is facilitated by providing prospective buyers the ability to quickly preview items for sale. Images are harvested from a plurality of sites based upon user-supplied information. The user-supplied information includes descriptions of items for sale and locations from which images that are to be associated with the items can be retrieved. Thumbnail images are created corresponding to the harvested images and are aggregated onto a web page for presentation at a remote site. According to another aspect of the present invention, a user may submit a query to preview items for sale. After receiving the query, thumbnail images corresponding to items that satisfy the user query are displayed, each of the thumbnail images previously having been created based upon a user-specified image. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction of the patent disclosure by any person as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent files or records, but otherwise reserves all rights to the copyright whatsoever. The invention relates generally to the field of online commerce. More particularly, the invention relates to information presentation and management in an online trading environment, such as an online shopping site, an online auctioning site, an online e-commerce site, an online person-to-person trading site, or the like. More and more Internet users are realizing the ease and convenience of buying and selling online by way of person-to-person online trading pioneered by eBay Inc. As a result, collectors, hobbyists, small dealers, unique item seekers, bargain hunters, and other consumers, are able to buy and sell millions of items at various online shopping sites. The success of an online shopping site depends upon its ability to provide an enjoyable shopping experience and an easy-to-use environment in which buyers and sellers can conduct business efficiently. Current online shopping sites have certain limitations in the manner in which they present information to users. With reference to FIG. A textual list of items representing the results of a user query is presented within a web page format to the user e. In this example, the web page format presented to the prospective buyer includes items that are currently available for sale on a particular page within a particular category Each item includes a hypertext link having a title or brief description of the item for sale, an indication of whether or not an image of the item is available, the current minimum bid , the number of bids received , and an auction ending time Based upon the item titles, prospective buyers can decide whether or not to view more detailed information on a particular item. In order to view detailed information on a particular item of interest, the buyer is required to select the hypertext link associated with the item. A new page is then presented with more detailed information regarding the item selected. The more detailed information may include, among other things, the item's starting price, a username associated with the seller of the item, a username associated with the current high bidder, a detailed description of the item in text or HTML format, and an image the seller has associated with the item, for example. To continue browsing other items of interest, the prospective buyer must return to the previously viewed listing, using the browser's 'Back' function, for instance, and select the hypertext link associated with the next item of interest. While associating an image with an item, such as a digitized picture of the item, has the advantage of allowing the prospective purchaser to make a more informed decision, the iterative process of individually selecting items to view their images can be very time consuming and even frustrating. In the light of the foregoing, it is desirable to provide an improved user interface for online commerce sites. In particular, it would be advantageous to enhance the online trading experience by providing buyers with a mechanism to more quickly preview items for sale. Additionally, the trading experience of sellers may be improved by automating certain aspects associated with item registration. A method and apparatus for information presentation and management in an online trading environment are described. Other features of the present invention will be apparent from the accompanying drawings and from the detailed description which follows. The present invention is illustrated by way of example, and not by way of limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings and in which like reference numerals refer to similar elements and in which:. In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form. As will be described in greater detail below, the present invention includes features for enhancing the online trading experience for both buyers and sellers. When sellers register an item for sale, they provide information about the item. For example, the seller may associate a textual description, an image, shipping terms, and other information with the item. Advantageously, according to one aspect of the present invention, to associate an image with an item for sale, the seller is not required to provide the image in a particular format or size; rather, the method and apparatus of the present invention automatically harvest images and transform them to an appropriate format for use with the system. According to another aspect of the present invention, prospective purchasers visiting an online commerce site employing the present invention need not navigate to a separate web page for each item to view images associated with the items; rather, thumbnail images for multiple items are aggregated onto a web page to allow quick preview by the prospective purchaser. In the context of this application, the term 'thumbnail' or 'thumbnail image' generally refers to a new image that is a miniature version of the original, user-supplied image. In the preferred embodiment, the steps of the present invention are embodied in machine-executable instructions. The instructions can be used to cause a general-purpose or special-purpose processor which is programmed with the instructions to perform the steps of the present invention. Alternatively, the steps of the present invention might be performed by specific hardware components that contain hardwired logic for performing the steps, or by any combination of programmed computer components and custom hardware components. The present invention may be provided as a computer program product which may include a machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions which may be used to program a computer or other electronic devices to perform a process according to the present invention. Moreover, the present invention may also be downloaded as a computer program product, wherein the program may be transferred from a remote computer e. The architecture of the Web follows a conventional client-server model. The terms 'client' and 'server' are used to refer to a computer's general role as a requester of data the client or provider of data the server. In the Web environment, Web browsers reside on clients and render Web documents pages served by the Web servers. The client-server model is used to communicate information between clients and servers When a user selects a document by submitting its Uniform Resource Locator URL , a Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, opens a connection to a server and initiates a request e. The server delivers the requested document, typically in the form of a text document coded in a standard markup language such as HyperText Markup Language HTML. A computer system representing an exemplary server in which features of the present invention may be implemented will now be described with reference to FIG. Computer system comprises a bus or other communication means for communicating information, and a processing means such as processor coupled with bus for processing information. Computer system further comprises a random access memory RAM or other dynamic storage device referred to as main memory , coupled to bus for storing information and instructions to be executed by processor Main memory also may be used for storing temporary variables or other intermediate information during execution of instructions by processor A data storage device such as a magnetic disk or optical disc and its corresponding drive may also be coupled to computer system for storing information and instructions. Computer system can also be coupled via bus to a display device , such as a cathode ray tube CRT or Liquid Crystal Display LCD , for displaying information to a computer user. Another type of user input device is cursor control , such as a mouse, a trackball, or cursor direction keys for communicating direction information and command selections to processor and for controlling cursor movement on display A communication device is also coupled to bus for accessing remote servers via the Internet, for example. The communication device may include a modem, a network interface card, or other commercially available network interface devices, such as those used for coupling to an Ethernet, token ring, or other type of network. According to the embodiment depicted, an online commerce site may comprise a listing server , a thumb server , and a thumb building machine Briefly, the listing server includes a listing management process and a listing database The listing management process interacts with sellers to allow new items to be added to the listing database and with prospective purchasers to provide them with information about items in which they are interested. As will be described further below, the listing management process supports both a text-based item listing format, such as that illustrated in FIG. According to one embodiment, depending on a user-selected mode, e. The thumb building machine includes a harvesting process and a database As will be described further below, the harvesting process periodically harvests images that sellers have associated with items in the listing database After a set of images have been harvested and thumbnailed, the harvesting process notifies the thumb server that new thumbnails are available. The thumb server includes a thumbnail management process , a thumb database and one or more backup databases Clients interact with the thumbnail management process to receive image data associated with the Gallery format. When new thumbnails are available, the thumbnail management process makes a backup copy of the current thumb database , receives a copy of a new database from the thumb building machine , and begins serving thumbnail images from the new database. Importantly, as one feature of the present embodiment, thumbnail images are not stored as individual files; rather, they are stored in an efficient database format that will be described further below. However, at this point, a justification for such an approach is worth mentioning. In the context of an online commerce site that may processes tens of thousands of new items every day, efficiency and stability are key considerations. The practicality of storing and maintaining thousands upon thousands of individual compressed thumbnail image files is questionable at best. Therefore, rather than maintaining a complex file structure with potentially millions of separate files, according to one embodiment of the present invention an efficient database is maintained that is designed to get information into memory quickly to provide fast access to the thumbnail images stored therein. Note that in this description, in order to facilitate explanation, the thumb building machine , the listing server , and the thumb server are generally discussed as if they were each a single device. For example, any function can be implemented on any number of machines or on a single machine. Also, any process may be divided across multiple machines. Having briefly described exemplary interactions among various devices in which features of the present invention may be implemented, item maintenance processing will now be described with reference to FIG. In general, item maintenance comprises three activities: creating and modifying items, harvesting images to be associated with the items, and presenting items to prospective buyers. At step , depending upon user interactions with the various servers, appropriate processing is performed. If a user request is received to add a new item, then processing continues with step If a user query is received, e. Various events may also trigger item maintenance processing. For example, according to the embodiment illustrated, upon expiration of a predetermined harvesting interval, processing continues with step In alternative embodiments, harvesting may be performed on a periodic basis or continuously. At step , item registration processing is performed. When the completed form is submitted to the listing server , the listing management process updates the listing database to include the new item. At step , the harvesting process downloads user-specified images associated with newly listed items to its local database New items may be identified, for example, by a periodic scan of the listing database by either of the listing management process or the harvesting process The harvesting process may also periodically reload images and update thumbnails associated with items that are not new to accommodate subsequent user modification. For example, a user may change the originally specified image or provide a new URL to be associated with an item for sale. Further details regarding harvesting are described below. At step , item presentation processing is performed. According to one embodiment responsive to a user request, e. As will be described further below, the HTML may contain image tags referencing thumbnail images stored in the thumb database An exemplary Gallery format, an item presentation format that incorporates thumbnails for fast preview, is illustrated in FIG. To sell an item on an online commerce site, typically the seller first registers the item to be sold. Upon receiving a request to add a new item, the listing management process may respond with an HTML form, such as registration form The registration form may include a variety of standard HTML form interface elements, including text input fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, and popup menus, for example. The most important piece of information for purposes of this application is the picture URL Note, that no additional information regarding the image is necessary. Advantageously, in this manner, the user need not worry about supplying an image in a particular format or one that is limited to a particular size. As will be described further below, the harvesting process automatically downloads the specified image, converts it to the appropriate format, and scales it to the appropriate size that is appropriate for use with the Gallery presentation mechanism. According to this example, the seller additionally submits a descriptive title for the item and a geographical location of the item. Providing the location of the item allows prospective buyers to evaluate potential costs relating to shipping, etc. In order for the item to show up in user queries for a particular category, the seller also selects one of a number of categories and chooses the most specific sub-categories from a predefined list in a popup menu, for example. Finally, the seller may specify acceptable payment methods , shipping terms , the quantity of items of this type that are available, a minimum bid per item, and the duration of the offer. When the item is posted to the listing database a unique item number is generated and associated with the item. The item numbers may be sequentially numbered as new items are posted to the listing database , for example. The present invention is not limited to any particular implementation of registration processing or to the specific information that may be associated with an item for sale. Importantly, the registration form is intended only to illustrate some of the many types of information that may be associated with an item that is posted to the listing database In alternate embodiments, more or less information may be associated with items. At step , image location information is retrieved from the listing database for a set of images that will be downloaded concurrently. According to one embodiment, the image location information is a URL. However, other mechanisms are envisioned for specifying an image location, such as a directory path, etc. At step , an attempt is made to convert erroneous user-supplied data to 'legal' data. For example, the user-supplied data for the image location may be massaged to have correct URL syntax. URLs are, therefore, written as follows:. The scheme is 'http' and the scheme-specific part is 'www. At step , multiple image downloads are started using a sockets-based interface. Prior to starting the downloads, it may be necessary to attempt a variety of option configurations in order to establish communication with a particular server. At any rate, assuming communication has successfully been established with the servers that have the desired image data, in one embodiment, downloads are performed concurrently. After the downloads have begun, the status of the downloads is polled periodically step If an error arose in one or more of the downloads, processing continues with step If one or more of the downloads has completed, then processing continues with step At step , error handling is performed. Attempts may be made to determine whether or not an error has in fact occurred. For example, it is not uncommon for a server to incorrectly identify a file size thereby causing a mismatch between the actual size of the downloaded file and the expected file size. In situations like these, the image can be salvaged; however, other situations may require the download to be restarted. At step , the one or more images that have been downloaded successfully are thumbnailed and stored for later inclusion in the thumbnail database According to one embodiment, the process of thumbnailing an image is performed with an imaging tool kit, such as ImageGear98 Gold Pro of Accusoft. Thumbnailing an image may be broken down into three steps: 1 first, decompression is performed from the harvested image's source format; 2 then, the decompressed image is converted to a thumbnail that will fit within a predetermined space. For example, the largest dimension of the source image may be scaled to fit the corresponding dimension of the predetermined space, then the other dimension of the source image may be scaled proportionately; 3 finally, the thumbnail is recompressed into a predetermined output format, e. Preferably, for convenience of the users, the thumbnailing process may receive one of many different image formats. Of course, as new image formats are introduced, it would be advantageous to provide support for those as well. The assignee of the present invention has observed that in the context of item presentation only a small amount of information actually needs to be changed in the HTML that is generated for various user queries. For an item presentation format, such as that illustrated in FIG. The remainder of the web page comprises HTML interface elements that remain constant regardless of the result of the user's query. Consequently, according to one embodiment, a predefined page format referred to as the Gallery template is employed into which the information that varies can be inserted on the fly as data is retrieved from the databases. At step , the predefined page format, e. At step , the listing management process retrieves information from the listing database corresponding to the items that will be displayed for the category and page requested, for example. At step , the predefined page format is populated based upon the information retrieved in step At this point, it should be noted that according to one embodiment of the present invention, thumbnail images are accessed from the thumb server by item number. As one feature of this embodiment, references to the thumbnail images stored on the thumb server may be generated on the fly by the listing management process based upon the image format and the item number. In this manner, no additional space is required in the listing database for image file names. Another option would have been to represent the image reference in the form of a query, e. However, while the former representation would be cached by caching proxy servers, the latter representation is not typically cached by caching proxy servers. Therefore, hiding the underlying queries to the thumb database from caching proxy servers by representing the thumbnail images in the HTML as if they were stored as individual files has the benefit of causing the caching proxy servers to perform more efficiently thereby generally reducing the load on the site and making the experience better for all users. Additionally, users that access the listing server and the thumb server by way of a caching proxy server, such as those on America Online, for example, will have enhanced performance as a result of the thumbnail images being cached because the data for rending the web pages will be available much faster. The Gallery presentation page format of the present embodiment includes a text mode button and a photo mode button allowing the user to switch between the text-based item listing format and the Gallery presentation format. In response to a user query, such as a request for a particular page within a particular category , a list of items is displayed to the users. In this example, each individual item includes a thumbnail image , a title , a current minimum bid , and the auction ending time Advantageously, in this manner, the Gallery presentation page format allows a prospective buyer to quickly scan the thumbnails for items of interest. Such a feature becomes critical in an online commerce environment in which thousands of unique items are for sale, for example. According to another feature of the present embodiment, by displaying all images in a predetermined, fixed- size display area , the listing management process doesn't need to have detailed knowledge about the individual images. For example, according to an embodiment described previously, the listing management process can simply use the item number to generate references, e. According to the embodiment depicted, rather than maintaining a complex file structure with potentially millions of separate files, a simple and efficient thumb database is maintained that is designed to get information into memory quickly to provide fast access to the thumbnail images stored therein. Briefly, the goal is to keep the thumb database reasonably sized so that it can be completely loaded into a virtual address space and accessed as a memory mapped file. According to one embodiment, each database entry comprises a length field and image data. The length field may identify the length of the entry or the length of the image data. The image data represents the compressed thumbnail image. For purposes of this example, it is assumed the thumb server has a 4 Gigabyte virtual address space and that the thumb database can be compressed into a single 1 Gigabyte file. When the thumbnail management process opens the thumb database for reading; rather than using file system calls that would not provide sufficient caching, it opens the thumb database as a memory mapped file. As a result, the thumb database is loaded completely into a continuous block of the virtual address space Accessing an individual entry of the database may then be accomplished by selecting an offset corresponding to the desired image from an array of relative offsets, such as index In the foregoing specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments thereof. It will, however, be evident that various modifications and changes may be made thereto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense. What is claimed is: 1.
