Abstract
(EN) The present invention provides a system and associated methods in which an information service (114) serves as an intermediary for storing and providing customer (102) information, such as payment and shipping information, to third party Internet merchants (312). In a preferred embodiment, the information service solicits customer (102) information from customers (102) and associates the customer (102) information with a user ID and a password. The information service stores the customer (102) information and associated user ID and password in a database accessible to an information service (114) server computer. An Internet merchant sets up a merchant web site (104) through which it solicits customers (102) to make purchases. In conjunction with displaying an option to make a purchase on a web page, the merchant provides an option to use the information service (114) to supply payment and/or shipping information. If the customer (102) chooses to use the information service (114), the information service (114) authenticates (310) the customer and provides the customer information (preferably in encrypted form) to the merchant (312). Transfers of the customer information may alternatively be initiated by the user during browsing of the information service (114) web site. The merchants (104) may optionally report information about the customer's purchases back to the information service (114), which may incorporate the information into a history page that is accessible to the customer (102). The information service may also use the aggregated purchase history data to generate an 'interests' profile for the customer, which may be disseminated to the merchants and used to customize their web sites.
(FR) La présente invention concerne un système et des procédés correspondants selon lesquels un service d'information (114) sert d'intermédiaire pour stocker et fournir des informations client (102) telles que des informations sur le paiement et l'expédition à des tiers (312) commerçants sur l'Internet. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le service d'information demande des informations client (102) aux clients (102) et associe ces informations client (102) à une identification utilisateur et un mot de passe. Le service d'information stocke les informations client (102) et associe l'identification utilisateur et le mot de passe dans une base de données accessible à un ordinateur serveur (114) du service d'information. Un commerçant sur l'Internet crée un site Web commercial (104) et l'utilise pour inviter les clients (102) à faire des achats. Conjointement à l'affichage d'une option permettant de faire des achats sur une page Web, le commerçant propose une option d'utiliser les services d'information (144) pour communiquer des informations sur le paiement et/ou l'expédition. Si le client (102) choisit d'utiliser le service d'informations (114), celui-ci authentifie (310) le client et communique les informations client (de préférence, sous forme chiffrée) au commerçant (312). En variante, les transmissions d'informations client peuvent être lancées par l'utilisateur lors de la navigation sur le site Web du service d'information (114). Les commerçants (104) peuvent éventuellement renvoyer les informations relatives aux achats des clients au service d'information (114), qui peut intégrer ces informations dans une page d'historique accessible au client (102). Le service d'informations peut aussi utiliser les données agrégées sur l'historique des achats pour créer un profil d'intérêts de l'utilisateur, qui peut à son tour être distribué entre les commerçants et servir à personnaliser leurs sites Web.
