Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
A universal auction specification system comprising: a market-specification console configured to receive at least one market protocol, the market-specification console submits a market defined by the at least one market protocol to a programmable auction server; the programmable auction server executes at least one built-in trading primitive and at least one network augmented nonstandard trading primitive; and a script generator for combining the set of trading primitives into a temporal protocol script representing a particular auction specification.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
A universal auction specification system comprising: a market-specification console configured to receive at least one market protocol, the market-specification console submits a market defined by the at least one market protocol to a programmable auction server; the programmable auction server executes at least one built-in trading primitive and at least one network augmented nonstandard trading primitive; and a script generator for combining the set of trading primitives into a temporal protocol script representing a particular auction specification.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The universal auction specification system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the scripting generator is a graphical user interface based tool.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
A programmable auction server comprising: a network accessible set of built-in trading primitives and network augmented nonstandard trading primitives; and a script interpreter for interpreting a temporal protocol script representing a particular auction specification, the script including references to at least a portion of the set of trading primitives.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
A programmable auction server comprising: a network accessible set of built-in trading primitives and network augmented nonstandard trading primitives; and a script interpreter for interpreting a temporal protocol script representing a particular auction specification, the script including references to at least a portion of the set of trading primitives.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
64 words
The programmable auction server as claimed in claim 3 further including: means for receiving a client market request via a network; means for associating the client request with at least one market specific service, said service being independently installable; means for accessing market specific information, said market specific information being independently stored; and means for processing the client market request to produce a result.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
The programmable auction server as claimed in claim 4 wherein said market specific information further includes rules and constraints.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
The programmable auction server as claimed in claim 3 further including: a dual firewall front end.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
30 words
The programmable auction server as claimed in claim 3 further including a registration component which registers all trades in specified markets, whether consummated on a local server or other servers.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
The programmable auction server as claimed in claim 3 further including a set of application program interfaces for program trading over the network.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
15 words
The programmable auction server as claimed in claim 3 further including a market administration console.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
78 words
A universal trading console comprising: means for determining a market type; means for transmitting a client market request via a network wherein the market type uses a network accessible set of built-in trading primitives and network augmented nonstandard trading primitives, said client market request being consistent with said market type; means for receiving a response to said client market request and means for displaying information related the response; and means for displaying collateral information related to the response.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
78 words
A universal trading console comprising: means for determining a market type; means for transmitting a client market request via a network wherein the market type uses a network accessible set of built-in trading primitives and network augmented nonstandard trading primitives, said client market request being consistent with said market type; means for receiving a response to said client market request and means for displaying information related the response; and means for displaying collateral information related to the response.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
16 words
The universal trading console as claimed in claim 10 further including: means for submitting a bid.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
17 words
The universal trading console as claimed in claim 10 further including: means for programming automated bidding agents.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
86 words
A universal surveillance console comprising: means for determining a market type wherein the market type uses a network accessible set of built-in trading primitives and network augmented nonstandard trading primitives; means for transmitting a client market request via a network, said client market request being consistent with said market type; means for receiving a response to said client market request and means for displaying information related to the response; means for displaying collateral information related to the response; and means interrupting normal operation of a market.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
86 words
A universal surveillance console comprising: means for determining a market type wherein the market type uses a network accessible set of built-in trading primitives and network augmented nonstandard trading primitives; means for transmitting a client market request via a network, said client market request being consistent with said market type; means for receiving a response to said client market request and means for displaying information related to the response; means for displaying collateral information related to the response; and means interrupting normal operation of a market.
