Abstract
A system for injecting and ejecting virtual connected buttons on an operating system (OS) interface includes one or more communications channels connecting a host to on-line product/service acquisition sites, information on a user's purchases from the acquisition sites, a virtual purchasing connected button (VPCB) for each product/service the user buys from an acquisition site that can be displayed on an interface of the OS of the host, and an online-purchasing system manager that triggers, based on that information, a deferring action of the display of the VPCB on the OS interface for one or more products.
Claims26
A system for injecting and ejecting virtual connected buttons on an operating system (OS) interface, comprising:
- one or more communications channels connecting a host to on-line product/service acquisition sites;
- information on a user's purchases from the acquisition sites;
- a virtual purchasing connected button (VPCB) for each product/service the user buys from an acquisition site that can be displayed on an interface of the OS of the host, wherein the VPCB is user configurable upon being physically touched by a user to order a specific product and quantity via a vendor's account;
- and
- an online-purchasing system manager that triggers, based on that information, a deferring action of the display of the VPCB on the OS interface for one or more products.
A program storage device readable by a computer, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executed by the computer to implement a system for injecting and ejecting virtual connected buttons on an operating system (OS) interface, the system comprising:
- one or more communications channels connecting a host to on-line product/service acquisition sites;
- information on a user's purchases from the acquisition sites;
- a virtual purchasing connected button (VPCB) for each product/service the user buys from an acquisition site that can be displayed on an interface of the OS of the host, wherein the VPCB is user configurable upon being physically touch by a user to order a specific product and quantity via a vendor's account;
- and
- an online-purchasing system manager that triggers, based on that information, a deferring action of the display of the VPCB on the OS interface for one or more products.
