[ detailed description ] embodiments

Referring to fig. 1A and 1B, fig. 1A and 1B are simplified diagrams illustrating the construction and operation of a multilingual electronic commerce system and method thereof according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 1C is a simplified diagram illustrating a database system according to the present invention in fig. 1A and 1B.

As shown in fig. 1A and 1B, a registered party (listing party) who wants to log in (list) his own camera for sale, such as an individual or an owner of a company, who is not an owner or an operator of the management web page of the electronic commercial transaction, receives a prompt of the transaction system to input information about the camera. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the information includes various intrinsic parameters (intrinsic parameters), such as category (category), sub category (sub category), brand name, model, lens and memory card, and non-intrinsic parameters (non-intrinsic parameters), such as related to the current usage of the product, the number of people who have used the product, whether scratches, dents or other defects exist. For those skilled in the art, the original parameters include pre-catalogued parameters (pre-catalogued parameters) and non-pre-catalogued parameters (non-pre-catalogued parameters), wherein the pre-catalogued parameters are present in existing catalogues and other databases, and the non-pre-catalogued parameters must be entered by the logging principal since the available catalogues are restricted and not present. In the specific camera example, the original parameters of the standard, which may be pre-roll parameters and/or non-pre-roll parameters, include digital (digital) or film (film), resolution level, zoom (zoom) feature, auto focus (auto focus) feature, and model year (model year) to be combined to create a profile-level specification (specification).

The non-native parameter is defined as a non-pre-populated login parameter and is the parameter information entered by the logging-in principal.

In the prior art, the non-prepositive login parameters are communicated in a free text manner by the login party in an electronic commercial transaction market (e-commerciarkertplaces). However, in contrast to the free-text approach, the present invention is characterized in that many and/or all of the non-pre-entry parameters are in a structured way (structured manager) to respond to specific prompts (events).

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the login information provided by the login principal is transmitted to a multi-language product login system (multi-language product logging system)100, which includes a web server (webserver)102, a login server (logging server)104 and a database (database)106, and the multi-language product login system 100 is constructed and operated as shown in fig. 1C, as described below.

When these non-pre-catalogues are entered, the non-pre-catalogues parameters are accessible to various people communicating in multiple languages, and are not limited to the language in which the product is only registered. Such people may be people in the same country, geographic location, or political region, or people in different countries or regions. In another embodiment, the multi-language product registration system 100 only includes the non-pre-registration parameters, such as non-pre-registration parameter information, e.g., template format (template format) of FIG. 1A or free text generated by the system.

Although it is desirable to eliminate free text in the login information (logging information), limited free text input fields can be provided in a preliminary manner, which can be translated manually or by machine. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the correctness is met after the correction, the translation is stored in a translated free-text phrase table (translated free-text phrase table) in the database 106. It should be noted that when the login-party enters a number to indicate a non-pre-registered parameter, the login-party can still use free text to enter information, even though the length units such as inches and centimeters need to be converted, because the number does not need to be converted.

Referring to another feature of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1B, a prospective buyer may wish to ask a question related to a product, the relevant information of which is not included in the login information. As shown in FIG. 1B, prospective buyers enter the question in their own language through a buyer question generation template, such as Spanish, as illustrated by circle "A" in FIG. 1B.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the question is translated in a suitable language, such as English, into machine-generated free text.

In another embodiment, the questions are generated by free text and translated in a manual or machine system. When the corrected word meets the requirement of correctness, the translation mode is stored in the translated free-text word list in the database 106. In any of the above embodiments, the translated question is displayed to the logging party in the language of the logging party for viewing. As illustrated, the logging principal may respond in its own language. The enrollee may respond with a buyer response generation template (not shown) that operates in a manner similar to the buyer question generation template described above, or in free text. Taking the input mode of free text response as an example, the response is translated by hand or machine system. This translation is stored in the database 106 in the translated free-text word list.
