Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0186553A1] A method/system for enabling and enhancing e-commerce over a communication channel with at least two terminals. Upon receiving a request for information from client A (110), server B (120) transfers with the requested information, additional information as a coupon C (204) or as a pointer to a coupon database (310), that allows client A to be recognized by other servers B' (130). Any server B' that subsequently recognizes client A, as client A makes requests for information to other servers B', can recognize only portions of the information related to it. When client A makes certain e-requests from server B', server B' simultaneously makes a request to a database (310) on server D (150) that authenticates the information C that transpired between client A and server B'. Thereafter, server B' allows client A to proceed with any transaction subject to other criteria of server B'.
