Physical item data record creation via cloning a data object in an accessible collection

A method for creating a physical item data record of an item data management server for a physical item in the control of a user, the method comprising:

• based upon user input received from a user terminal, identifying a data object having a plurality of attributes accessible by the item data management server, the data object including physical item attributes of an existing physical item data record of another physical item in the control of the user, the user being the creator of the existing physical item data record, wherein the item data management server is communicatively coupled to a user terminal via at least one data network;
• generating a cloned physical item data record based upon the data object, wherein the cloned physical item data record includes a status for the physical item in the control of the user associated with the cloned physical item data record and at least a portion of the plurality of attributes of the data object, and a second plurality of attributes associated with the user;
• storing the cloned physical item data record based upon the data object on the item data management server;
• receiving, in response to the transaction command query, a transaction command query response that identifies a cloned physical item data record of the wish list, wherein the transaction command query response includes a physical item data record transfer command;
• upon completion of a transaction associated with the cloned physical item data record, converting the cloned physical item data record to produce a new physical item data record that includes a third plurality of data associated with the transaction;
• generating a transfer web page including a transferred physical item data record;
• and
• presenting the transfer web page to the user terminal;
• creating a data tag criteria based upon a key and a plurality of attributes of the new physical item data record, wherein the key includes a creator identifier and an item identification;
• generating a data tag based upon retrieving the key and the plurality of attributes of the physical item data record;
• and
• presenting the data tag identifying the physical item based on the new physical item data record.

An item data management server for creating a physical item data record of an item data management server for a physical item in the control of a user, the item data management server communicatively coupled to a user terminal and a plurality of servers via at least one data network, the item data management server comprises:

• processing circuitry;
• a network interface operably coupled to the processing circuitry that supports data transmission with the at least one data network;
• a user interface operably coupled to the processing circuitry;
• and
• memory operably coupled to the processing circuitry, wherein the memory stores operational instructions that cause the processing circuitry to:
• present a clone command query to the user terminal;
• receive, in response to the clone command query, a clone command query response that corresponds to and identifies a data object having a plurality of attributes accessible by the item data management server, wherein the data object includes physical item attributes of an existing physical item data record of another physical item in the control of the user, the user being the creator of the existing physical item data record;
• generate a cloned physical item data record based upon the data object, wherein the cloned physical item data record includes a status for the physical item in the control of the user associated with the cloned physical item data record and at least a portion of the plurality of attributes of the data object, and a second plurality of attributes associated with the user;
• store the cloned physical item data record based upon the data object on the item data management server;
• receiving, in response to a transaction command query, a transaction command query response that identifies a cloned physical item data record of the wish list, wherein the transaction command query response includes a physical item data record transfer command;
• upon completion of a transaction associated with the cloned physical item data record, converting the cloned physical item data record to produce a new physical item data record that includes a third plurality of data associated with the transaction;
• generating a transfer web page including a transferred physical item data record;
• presenting the transfer web page to the user terminal;
• creating a data tag criteria based upon a key and a plurality of attributes of the new physical item data record, wherein the key includes a creator identifier and an item identification;
• generating a data tag based upon retrieving the key and the plurality of attributes of the physical item data record;
• and
• presenting the data tag identifying the physical item based upon the new physical item data record.
