Online Mobile Auction is a system and method provided for auctioning an item using a mobile device. A mobile device can include a camera for capturing an image of an item of interest, a processor for entering the image into a database, an image recognition unit for comparing the image to other images within the database and a display for presenting a list of comparable items available for auctioning. These features are not available on any and every mobile handset.
This invention concerns a mobile device for providing auction concierge services. The system should include a camera for capturing an image of an item of interest, a processor connected to the camera for entering the image into at least one database, an image recognition unit communicatively coupled to the processor, and a display for presenting a list of comparable items available for sale or purchase. The image recognition unit can compare the image to other images within a database for providing the list of comparable items. The mobile device can further include a positioning system communicatively coupled to the processor. The mobile device can also include a timer that can establish a time limit for honoring a purchase or sale of an item. In one arrangement, at least one database can be on a remote server.
Blackberry, Palm and iPhone are some of the companies which facilitate these services with in built wireless and purchasing software.
Auction By Touch is a mobile wireless e-retailing software firm that provides customized wireless bidding and purchasing applications. We are experts in the use of mobile auction and e-commerce web applications, and utilize a proprietary system to create, design and manage customized mobile applications that enable event goers, online auction bidders, or e-commerce buyers to bid on, or purchase items wirelessly with iPhones or Blackberries. From the wireless purchasing and bidding user interface, bidders can browse, bid, buy, auto-bid, receive outbid notices, and checkout with their credit card.
The increasing number of today’s mobile computers such as subnotebooks, PDAs and even smaller devices, their permanently improved computational power and wireless communication capabilities like Bluetooth bear the potential to serve distributed applications as an additional communication platform besides existing fixed network infrastructures.
However, Mobile Web access today still suffers from interoperability and usability problems. This is partly due to the small physical size of the screens of mobile devices and partly due to the incompatibility of many mobile devices with not only computer operating systems, but also the format of much of the information available on the Internet.
