Definitions
- the search engine web page becomes a marketplace of sorts with advertisements typically geared to search queries.
- Links to merchants are provided on the search page so that users can click on links they are interested in.
- directed advertising links are provided that might tout bargain priced items and the like.
- a user still must click on the link and wait for the merchant's page to load to see if they are truly interested in the merchant's item. Because of this delay, some potential customers may skip clicking on the link because they don't have time to load every merchant page they are interested in. This is especially true if a customer desires to do comparison shopping in such a marketplace. They would have to click on each link and write down prices or go to a dedicated comparison shopping site, taking them away from their task at hand - using the search engine.
- Mechanisms for providing marketplace infrastructure are utilized to enhance a user's online marketplace experience.
- the user is now empowered to instantly view marketplace features such as, for example, pricing information, direct and/or indirect communications with merchants to obtain additional product information, and/or easy purchasing options and the like.
- the marketplace infrastructure mechanisms allow these features to be initiated based on intentions shown by users while in the marketplace. In one instance, this is accomplished by utilizing icons placed in proximity of the marketplace. Users can use various means to show their interest in the icons to initiate the desired feature. Once initiated, a user can then interact with the feature provided by the marketplace infrastructure. This substantially increases the speed at which purchasing steps can be made. For example, a user can easily call up pricing comparisons, request a talk with the merchant for more product information and availability, and drag and drop a payment for the item desired without leaving the marketplace.

- FIG. 1 illustrates a marketplace infrastructure system 100 that utilizes a marketplace infrastructure component 102 to provide purchase-associated infrastructure to an online marketplace 104.
- a user 106 interfaces with the online marketplace 104 and can initiate various purchase-associated features supported by the infrastructure.
- the user 106 can initiate a feature by showing intention in the online marketplace 104. Intention by the user 106 can be determined, for example, by how the user 106 interacts with an advertisement and the like.
- An advertisement in the online marketplace can have, for example, an icon associated with it that can initiate a feature supported by the infrastructure from the marketplace infrastructure component 102.
- the user 106 can show intent by clicking the icon, hovering over the icon with a pointing indicator, pausing for a time on the advertisement, looking at the advertisement (eye movement sensors employed), and/or other mechanisms that determine the user's intent (e.g., environmental sensors, thought sensors, etc.).
- the marketplace infrastructure component 102 provides infrastructure to the online marketplace 104 that enhances the user's purchasing experience without redirecting the user to other web sites.
- Purchase-associated information can now be presented to the user 106 without requiring additional clicks and/or following additional hyperlinks, etc.
- the information and/or interactions can be performed right in the online marketplace 104. This is particularly beneficial when the user 106 does not have the extra time required to navigate to other web pages.
- Merchant sales can be substantially increased because of the speed at which the user 106 can obtain product/service information and/or complete purchases and the like.
- the user 106 can employing a search engine on a web site that includes the online marketplace 104. The user 106 may be doing research for a school paper and is under a tight deadline.
- the user 106 suddenly realizes they are hungry and shows intention towards a pizza advertisement with infrastructure supported by the marketplace infrastructure component 102.
- a pop-up window for example, can show pizza menu items with selectable prices.
- the user 106 can select a desired option within the window and then drag their credit card information to the window for instant payment (essentially "less than one click" payment) and delivery address.
- the user 106 continues to do research on the web site while their pizza is being delivered, the purchase process resulting only in a minor interruption of the user's task at hand.
- a merchant obtained a sale that would likely not have been made otherwise (the user 106 might have reasoned that making a sandwich would be quicker than looking up a pizza parlor and calling to order, etc.).
- the online marketplace 104 can be a dedicated web site and/or a portion of a web site as in the above search engine example.
- the user 106 can access the online marketplace 104, for example, via a client computing device that interfaces with a server that hosts the online marketplace 104 and/or via a mobile computing device that interacts with the host server.
- the online marketplace 104 can be, for example, a text-based and/or a graphics-based marketplace.
- the user 106 can interact with, for example, a picture of a pizza and/or the word "pizza" and the like in reference to the above pizza purchase.
- the online marketplace 104 can accept verbal commands and/or other types of commands as well. In these scenarios, for example, the user 106 can speak the word "pizza" and/or think "pizza" and show intention in the online marketplace 104.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a marketplace infrastructure system 200 that utilizes a marketplace infrastructure component 202 to provide marketplace infrastructures to an online marketplace 204.
- a user 206 interacts with the online marketplace 204 via a client 208.
- the marketplace infrastructure component 202 can provide infrastructures itself and/or utilize external infrastructures provided by external sources. These external sources can include, for example, a merchant's web site 210, a merchant's Bot 212, and/or other 214 which represents an infinite number of possible other external sources and the like.
- the external sources can also include the client 208.
- a merchant can have a web site that provides for bidding on items and transaction processing.
- the marketplace infrastructure component 202 can obtain these infrastructures and provide them to the online marketplace 204. This allows the user 206 to bid on items and pay for them without leaving the online marketplace 204.
- the marketplace infrastructure component 202 can also complement the external infrastructures with additional infrastructures, for example, such as merchant communications. This enables the user 206 to talk with the merchant before and/or after bidding and the like while in the online marketplace 204.
- the marketplace infrastructure system 200 substantially enhances the online marketplace 204 by providing added utility and decreased effort on the part of the user 206 in purchase-associated activities.
- the marketplace infrastructure component 202 can reside on a host device such as a server and the like and/or on the client 208. This flexibility allows the marketplace infrastructure component 202 to provide additional infrastructures to the online marketplace 204 that would not otherwise be practicable.
- the user 206 can store personal information on the client 208 that is not available to an infrastructure on a host device such as a server.
- a drag and drop payment infrastructure residing on the client 208 allows the user 206 to easily pay for products/services shown in the online marketplace 204 without requiring the user 206 to input the information.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a marketplace infrastructure system 300 that employs a marketplace infrastructure component 302 to interact with an online marketplace 304.
- the marketplace infrastructure component 302 utilizes an infrastructure component 308 to generate infrastructures that are then supplied to the online marketplace 304 via an infrastructure user interface 306.
- the infrastructure component 308 can create new infrastructures and/or obtain external existing infrastructures from external sources via the infrastructure interface 310.
- the external sources can include, for example, a merchant's web site 312, a merchant's Bot 314, a client 316, and/or other 318 which represents an infinite number of possible external sources and the like.
- the marketplace infrastructure component 302 can reside client-side and/or server side, it can include multiple interfaces and/or infrastructure components as well.
- the infrastructure interface 310 can utilize a standardized interface to allow external devices to easily interact with the marketplace infrastructure component 302.
- the infrastructure interface 310 can also be active and utilize Bots and/or other mechanisms to extract infrastructures from external sources and the like.
- the external infrastructure information can be passed to the infrastructure component 308 and/or passed directly to the infrastructure user interface 306.
- the infrastructure component 308 can generate infrastructures, utilize external infrastructures, and/or combine generated and external infrastructures to form hybrid infrastructures. These infrastructures are then passed to the infrastructure user interface 306.
- the infrastructure user interface 306 provides the infrastructures to the online marketplace in a desired fashion. Thus, the infrastructure user interface 306 manipulates the infrastructure presentation to suit the online marketplace 304.
- the infrastructure user interface 306 can also utilize external infrastructures directly from the infrastructure interface 310 if desired.
- the infrastructure user interface 310 interacts with the online marketplace 304 to support infrastructures utilized in the online marketplace 304. This can include, but is not limited to, calling additional infrastructures as needed and/or requesting generation of infrastructures by the infrastructure component 308 and/or requesting external infrastructures and the like.
- marketplaces are very important to consumers because they provide relevant information for executing a sale such as pricing information and ratings/reviews/comparisons for informed purchasing decisions. They help build consumer trust by collecting merchant feedback and by setting minimum merchant standards. Marketplaces attract customers by advertising themselves and/or by running loyalty programs and the like. Current marketplaces today cannot provide infrastructures as described above. However, with instances disclosed herein, consumers are now provided with infrastructure for such things, for example, as payment services, pricing mechanisms such as auctions and/or communications with merchants and the like.
- the marketplace infrastructure user interface can remain unobtrusive to a user and/or the marketplace until a user indicates intent. Once the user shows interest additional functionality appears such as, for example, obtaining additional information, merchant feedback ratings, one click or less purchasing, and/or merchant communications via VoIP and/or Instant Messaging, etc.
- Icons can be utilized to indicate infrastructure functionality such as, for example: a more information icon - where hovering pops up a box with more- information, a VOIP icon - indicating Voice over IP functionality, an IM icon - for Instant Messaging with a person, a Bot IM icon - for Instant Messaging with a Bot, an email icon - for sending email to a merchant, a forward icon - for forwarding an advertisement to a person with/without remarks, a clip icon - for clipping advertisements and/or information for later reference, a calendar icon - for adding product/service information to a calendar, a batch cart icon - for adding items to a "batched" purchase cart, a drag-n-drop icon - for indicating drag-and-drop to purchasing, and/or a negotiation icon - for indicating price negotiation availability and the like.
- FIG. 4 is illustrates of an example online marketplace 400 with sponsored marketplace areas 402 where merchants can advertise.
- This example online marketplace 400 utilizes a search engine web page.
- FIG. 5 shows an example 500 where hovering a pointer 502 on an icon 504 gives more information 506 supplied by marketplace infrastructure. Clicking a link 508 can still take a user to a product web site.
- Communication infrastructures exampled infra can also be utilized to gather feedback for merchants and/or marketplaces and the like.
- a "merchant rating" indictor 510 shows an accumulation of feedback for a particular merchant that is displayed in more information 506.
- FIG. 6 depicts an example voice- over-IP merchant communication infrastructure 600.
- FIG. 7 is illustrates an example instant messaging (IM) merchant communication infrastructure 700. Clicking an IM icon 702 starts a chat session between a merchant and a user.
- IM instant messaging
- FIG. 8 depicts an example Instant Messaging (IM) merchant Bot communication infrastructure 800. Clicking a Bot-messaging icon 802 starts a chat session between a merchant's Bot and a user. This has the same functionality as on the IM icon 702 in FIG. 7 except the merchant employs a Bot to interact with the user.
- FIG. 9 shows an example email merchant communication infrastructure 900. Clicking an email icon 902 either opens a new email or a text box where a user can write a quick message to a merchant depending upon the user's preference. The new email can be pre-filled with a product's description as a subject line. The user can either give feedback to the merchant and/or ask questions about the product using this email functionality.
- IM Instant Messaging
- FIG. 10 illustrates an example advertisement forwarding infrastructure
- FIG. 11 depicts an example advertisement clipping infrastructure 1100.
- a clipping icon 1102 can be employed to clip an advertisement for later use, for example, to get a $10 discount. One would then get the discount if it is applicable at the time of purchase.
- the clip infrastructure can store the advertisement through a browser cookie and/or on a toolbar on a client- side and/or in a passport account on a server-side. Even without a discount as motivation, this functionality is useful for other purposes such as, for example, product research and the like.
- FIG. 12 shows an example calendar entry infrastructure 1200.
- FIG. 13 depicts an example batch purchasing infrastructure 1300.
- Clicking a cart icon 1302 stores the item in a batched cart. Items in the batched cart can be purchased as a single purchase, even if the items are from different merchants. Items in the batched cart, for example, can also be published as a gift registry and/or on a blog with personal comments and the like.
- FIG. 14 illustrates an example drag and drop purchasing infrastructure 1400. Dragging-the-mouse enables a purchase of products/services right from the marketplace itself. A dragged card 1402 typically has both shipping and billing information.
- FIG. 15 shows an example auction and/or negotiation infrastructure
- a negotiation icon 1502 enables, for example, price negotiation and/or quantity negotiation and the like. If, for example, a user wants to pay a different price than what a merchant is asking, the user can employ this feature. A user can submit a payment method of what they would like to offer. The user can submit a payment to multiple merchants. For example, the first merchant to accept can charge the user and the offer is withdrawn from other merchants. Disposable credit cards and/or temporary negotiation mechanisms can be employed as well. [0026] FIG. 16 illustrates an example feedback infrastructure 1600. A feedback icon 1602 allows a user to leave feedback for merchants, items, and/or advertisements and the like.
- a user can communicate via the feedback infrastructure about a shopping experience and/or even an advertisement experience (e.g., a user can communicate that an advertisement is misplaced and should not be shown on this page, is inappropriate, etc.). Because of the ease in which feedback can be left, users are more likely to indicate their true level of satisfaction at the time the feedback is left (e.g., rather than going through a complicated process that occurs at a significantly later time, etc.). [0027] In view of the exemplary systems shown and described above, methodologies that may be implemented in accordance with the embodiments will be better appreciated with reference to the flow charts of FIGs. 17 and 18.
- the method 1700 starts 1702 by creating marketplace infrastructure to provide functionality associated with purchasing products and/or services via an online marketplace 1704.
- the marketplace infrastructure can be created utilizing generated infrastructures, utilizing externally obtained infrastructures, and/or hybrid infrastructures based on external and generated infrastructures and the like.
- the marketplace infrastructure supports purchase-associated functionality from within the online marketplace.
- the purchase-associated functionality can include, but is not limited to, payment services, pricing mechanisms, comparison shopping, and/or merchant communications and the like.
- a user can purchase products/services directly from a merchant, communicate directly and/or indirectly (e.g., via Bots) with a merchant, and/or make batch purchases across multiple merchants and the like.
- the marketplace infrastructure can be created and/or supported on a host device and/or on a client device and the like. Access to the purchase-associated functionality is provided when a user indicates intention in the marketplace 1706, ending the flow 1708. Intention can be determined by many different mechanisms including, but not limited to, user interactions with a pointing device such as hovering and/or clicking, eye movements that indicate intention, verbal commands that indicate intention, and/or other environmental-based mechanisms and the like.
- a flow diagram of a method 1800 for selecting online marketplace infrastructure in accordance with an aspect of an embodiment is depicted.
- the method 1800 starts 1802 by providing marketplace infrastructure for functionality associated with purchasing products and/or services via an online marketplace 1804.
- the infrastructure can be provided by mechanisms described supra.
- the marketplace infrastructure functionality is then accessed via an icon in proximity of the marketplace 1806, ending the flow 1808.
- Different icons can be utilized to indicate different functionality supported by an infrastructure. For example, an icon near a merchant's advertisement can indicate that it is supported by additional infrastructure.
- a user can show interest in the icon, for example, by clicking on and/or hovering over the icon until a pop-up window appears with additional icons that support additional infrastructure functionality. Subsequent popup windows can appear as subsequent icons are selected.
- FIG. 19 is a block diagram of a sample computing environment 1900 with which embodiments can interact.
