    专利说明:

    [5] In an interactive process using a general purpose network such as the Internet between first and second person computers, for example between a buyer and a customer, a person as a seller may use a specially designed device to facilitate the process. , in particular, facilitate that the person can point to or demonstrate objects and / or services such as products for sale and various information pertaining to the objects or services.
    [6] Such a device may include a pressure sensitive screen connected to a person's computer and software in the computer receiving signals from the screen and using the signals to move images or information fields displayed on the computer screen. The pressure-sensitive screen can be integrated with the computer monitor or at least be mounted so that the person can see the images displayed on their computer monitor via the screen. The person can then, by tapping the screen, move an image or object, generally an image belonging to an object or service, from a location on the first person's computer monitor into an area of the monitor corresponding to the image displayed by the second person. computer monitor. The device may include a camera taking pictures of the person to be displayed on the other person's computer monitor.
    [7] The device may include a mirror which is obliquely mounted and / or translucent allowing the person to view the image displayed on his computer screen as an image reflected by the mirror. In case the mirror is semi-transparent, the pictures can be taken through the mirror. In particular, the screen can be mounted in front of the mirror so that the person sees the reflected images through the screen.
    [8] Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be understood and attained by means of the methods, processes, aids and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
    [9] Although the novel features of the invention are specifically set forth in the appended claims, a complete understanding of the invention may be practiced, both in terms of organization and content, and of the foregoing and other features, and the invention will be more readily understood by the following detailed description and limiting embodiments presented below with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which: [OOlO] Fig. in a view shown when a customer uses a website for a party offering live sessions, [OOl l ] Fig. 2 is a view displayed to the customer when the customer has chosen to enter a live session, the view presenting alternative sweet to perform the live session,

    [16] Fig. 7 is a view shown to the customer during a live session, the view including images of objects and information fields, 63189
    [17] Fig. 8 is a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a device that can be used by a person during an interactive live session if the person wants to demonstrate objects or products,
    [18] Fig. 9 is a view seen by the person using the device of Fig. 8,
    [19] FIG. 10-12 are schematic views of alternative embodiments of the device of Fig. 9, and
    [20] Fig. 13 is a side view of the device of Fig. 8.
    [21] A system for selling goods via the Internet will now be described specifically used for selling mobile phones. However, the system can just as easily be used for other applications where a person wants to point to or demonstrate objects, products and / or services and properties for and information belonging to the objects, products or services.
    [22] A person who wants to acquire a mobile phone thus first enters a public website for a selling company, by using his computer. The website is displayed on the computer and can have a simple structure like the one shown in Fig. 1. On the website, pictures of some new products can be displayed as usual and felt as when they are clicked shows a list of items offered for sale and specifications for these . On the website there is also a felt 1 for interactive advice, hear called "Live Store". Inside this felt there may be an under-felt 3 in which it is shown how long it is estimated to take before the person can come into contact with a seller. The person clicks in the field 1 and then a new website will be displayed, see Fig. 2, in which the customer can choose the sweetener on which he wishes the interactive session to take place.
    [23] Other combinations of use of the possible means of input will be described below.
    [24] After the customer has made his choice by clicking in the respective field or indicator 5, he clicks in a field 7 to stand in line and wait for the interactive session.
    [25] After some time has elapsed when the customer waits in front of his computer, it becomes the customer's turn to enter into an interactive session with a salesperson.
    [26] Then, if the customer has selected a type 1 session, an image such as that seen in Fig. 3 may be displayed on his computer screen. In the picture, a live picture of the seller will be displayed. A small window 9 can also be seen inside the image, e.g. in a corner of it, in which a live image of the customer himself is displayed.
    [27] In a video chat session in which the customer has turned off the microphone and only uses the computer keyboard for input, an image such as that seen in Fig. 4 may be displayed on the customer's computer screen. An image of the seller can be seen in the image and a 63189 live image of the customer can be seen inside a small window 9 as above. In the small window there may also be field 1 1 in which the text entries by the customer are displayed in turn and a field 13 in which text entered by the customer is displayed.
    [28] In another case of video chat in which the customer only uses a microphone for input to the seller and he does not want to use a camera or his computer does not have a camera, such an image as the one shown in Fig. 5 can be appears on the customer's computer screen. A live image of the seller is seen in the image.
    [29] In yet another case, when the customer only uses the computer keyboard for input and a camera or microphone is not used by the customer, such an image as shown in Fig. 6 can be displayed on the customer's computer monitor. A live image of the seller can be seen as always in the image. In a small window 9, as above, there may be fields 1 1 in which the text entries made by the customer are displayed in turn and a field 13 in which text entered by the customer is displayed.
    [30] Fig. 7 is an example showing an image that can be displayed on the customer's screen after the customer has presented or entered any information about the product that he wants to buy. The lower part of the image shows images 15 of possible objects, such as which can be displayed can be arranged on top of a field 17 which has a color that makes it look like a counter in a store, or on something else suitably sweet. The field that can be displayed inside the image may include a field 19 in which information about one of the displayed products is displayed, such information e.g. including detailed costs. Another field 21 can display information which the seller enters using the keyboard on his computer. In yet another field 23, additional information such as terms of purchase can be displayed which can also be downloaded to the buyer's computer. Other fields can be used if needed.
    [31] In the transactions described above, the customer works on a standard computer using a general web browser, where the computer may have a microphone and 63189 may have a webcam connected to it. The seller works on a computer that has specially adapted software. In the simplest case, see Fig. 12, the seller sits or stands in front of a standard touch screen as an integrated multiple touch screen (Eng. Multitouch screen) 31. A camera 33 is mounted on or in front of the touch screen as in the center of it. The seller can enter information using his voice and a microphone 35 or alphanumerically via a keyboard 37. The screen 31, the camera 33, the microphone 35 and the keyboard 37 are connected to the computer 39 running the special program to let the information as shown in Figs. 3 - 7 to be displayed to the customer.
    [32] When a live session with a client is to be started, the software in the seller's computer 34 displays a start image such as that in Fig. 9 for the seller field in frame 41 normally containing an image of the seller and is also displayed on the customer's screen by sending the corresponding information to his computer, ie. basically the information received from the camera 33, especially compare Fig.3. Outside the frame 41, images of objects and information fields and / or fields symbolizing objects and / or various information are displayed. Thus, images of products for sale can be displayed, for example at the lower edge of the image, in the lower margin of the total image seen by the seller. On other sides of the central frame, information fields can be displayed, such as information fields belonging, for example, to products for sale or concerning payment or delivery terms or other information about the sales.
    [33] The seller performs the dialogue with the customer using voice recorded by the microphone 35 and / or the keyboard 37 depending on the setting on the customer's computer. All input made using keyboard presses is displayed in a special field 9-13 inside the frame 31, see e.g. Fig.4. In such a dialogue, the seller can show a product to the customer by moving a picture of it into the area inside the frame. Such movement can be performed by the seller by pressing with one of his fingers on a surface of the pressure sensitive screen 31 where the image of the product is displayed and moving the point where the finger is in contact with the screen into the area inside the frame 41.
    [34] Similarly, the seller can move appropriate information fields from their locations outside the frame 41 to locations inside the frame. The seller can also move pictures or fields away from the frame in the same way.
    [35] A special blank information field can be moved to a location inside the central frame and then the seller can enter additional information therein using his keyboard 37. This special field can function in a manner similar to that of a Post- | t® note.
    [36] Instead of continuously using sensed position information, in some special cases, at the symbols or information fields outside the frame 41, there may be buttons for manipulating the object image or field as well as for placing the object image or field also at a position inside the frame, t. ex. to a predetermined location for the object image, and to remove the image or field from its location within the frame.
    [37] Another embodiment of the seller's location is shown in Fig. 10. The seller works here standing or sitting in front of a transparent touch screen or "touch glass" 51 which is mounted at a distance in front of and parallel to the window surface of a standard 63189 computer monitor 53. The dimensions of the active surfaces of the screen and the monitor are substantially equal to each other so that the seller can see the entire active surface of the monitor through the transparent screen. The camera 33 is mounted in front of the monitor 53 as well as in the center thereof. The seller can enter information using the voice and the microphone 35 or use the keyboard 37. The transparent screen 51, the screen 53, the camera 33, the microphone 35 and the keyboard 37 are connected to a computer 39 running special programs as above.
    [38] Another embodiment of the seller's workplace is shown in Fig. 11. As in the embodiment of Fig. 10, the seller works in front of a transparent touch screen or "touch glass" 51. A short throw projector 55 projects the display or image created by the computer 39 on the back of the transparent screen so that the seller can see it. The view is similar to that of the embodiment of Figures 12 and 10, essentially that shown in Fig. 9, but compared to Fig. 10 there is no parallax error which could make it difficult for the seller to correctly hit an image or an information field. The camera is mounted behind the transparent screen 51 as well as in a central position relative to the active surface of the screen. As above, the seller can enter information using voice and microphone 35 or use the keyboard 37. The transparent screen 51, the projector 55, the camera 33, the microphone 35 and the keyboard 37 are connected to a computer 39 running a special program.
    [39] The embodiments belonging to Figures 10 and 11 function in the same way as that described for Figure 12 above.
    [40] In yet another embodiment, a specially designed box or stand is used, see the perspective view for Fig. 8 and the side view for Fig. 13. A computer monitor 53 is mounted there, having its surface where images are displayed directed upwardly, as or at the bottom of the box 57. The boxer has a cross-sectional profile of a right-angled, isosceles triangle, seen from the side of the box. One of these sides of the triangle having the same length is located substantially horizontally and corresponds to the active surface of the dying computer monitor 53 located in a horizontal plane. The computer monitor may be an individual device separate from the computer 39 or it may be integrated with the computer seamlessly in an Imac 27 seed Apple lnc. At the oblique side of the triangular profile a semi-transparent flat mirror 59 is mounted, the mirror is thus located at an angle substantially 45 ° vertically. Mounted on the vertical side of the triangular profile is a completely transparent, pressure-sensitive screen or touch glass 5l, the pressure-sensitive screen is located in a vertical | p | an.
    [41] The microphone 35 is mounted on the box at a suitable location and the keyboard 37 may be located at the lower edge of the front horizontal surface of the box. The screen 51, the microphone 35, the keyboard 37 and the monitor 53 are connected to the computer 39.
    [42] As mentioned above, the cellar is supposed to work in front of the pressure-sensitive screen 51, looking through it at the mirror 35, where it sees the reflected image of the active surface of the computer screen 53, the active surface thereby reflected by the obliquely mounted mirror 59, see Figs. 9. Inside the frame 41 in the displayed image, as above, an image is identical to the image displayed to the customer on his display. This image normally contains an image of the celiac. The image of the celiac is taken by the camera 33 which is connected to the computer 39. the camera is mounted behind the translucent mirror 59, the camera takes pictures of the celiac in real time and transmits them to the computer. The camera can be a standard digital camera, e.g. a camcorder. Other information can also be displayed to the customer as described above.
    [43] Outside the frame 41, images of object and information felt and / or felt symbolizing objects and / or various information are displayed. Thus, e.g. at the lower edge of the image, in the lower margin of the total image seen by the salesman, images of products for sale can be displayed. On other sides of the central frame, information sheets can be displayed, such as information sheets e.g. related to products for sale or regarding payment, or delivery terms or other information about the sale.
    [44] As in the embodiments described above, the salesperson conducts a dialogue with the customer using voice recorded by the microphone 35 and / or the keyboard 37 depending on settings on the customer's computer. In such a dialogue, the seller can show a product to the customer, move a picture of it into the surface inside the frame. Such a movement is performed by the seller pressing a finger on the surface of the transparent pressure-sensitive screen 51 where the image of the product is displayed and moving the point where the finger is in contact with the screen into the central surface inside the frame 41.
    [45] In the same way, the seller can move an information field.
    [46] As briefly described above, when a live session with a client is about to start, the program in the seller's computer 39 displays a start image such as that in Fig. 9 for the seller, the field inside the frame 41 is also displayed on the customer's screen by sending the corresponding image information to his computer, ie. essentially the information received by the camera 33. The program also downloads selected information to the customer's computer in this step, especially information pertaining to products for sale. The program sends and receives information in the dialogue between the seller and the buyer, showing it to the seller and making it appear on the buyer's screen in the usual way. When the seller, by tapping the touch screen 37, moves an image of an object into the central frame, the program sends only the corresponding position information to the customer's computer where the position information is used to place the image, information about which was initially downloaded, to the current position at the top of the image for the seller.
    [47] The word "object" used here is chosen to include everything that can be displayed on a computer screen such as Physical objects and products, images thereof, information, symbols for services etc.
    [48] While specific embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described herein, it will be appreciated that several other embodiments may be devised and that several further advantages, modifications, and modifications may be readily apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, in its broadest context, the invention is not limited to specific details, represented devices and illustrated examples shown and described herein. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention and the general concept defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. It is therefore to be understood that the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications and alterations as fall within the spirit of the invention. Several other embodiments may be devised without departing from the spirit of the invention.
