摘要： An auction methodology wherein the auction competition among the bidders is generated by allowing each bidder to bid for non-price bid parameters (e.g., lead time, labor rate, contract length, etc.) in addition to the price of the lot on auction. Such a multi-parameter bidding provides the buyer (i.e., the auction requester) with more diverse information when selecting the winning bidder. The buyer and each bidder participating in the electronic auction may receive a real-time feedback of the bidding activity including details on bids placed for price and non-price parameters, which allows each bidder to adjust or modify one or more of its own bids (for price and non-price bid parameters) to effectively compete in the auction. The bidding software nullifies the effect of each bidder's bids for the non-price parameters on that bidder's bid for the price parameter by multiplying the value of the bid for each non-price parameter by the number zero (0) and also locks the bid values initially received for the non-price parameters to avoid affecting their values when lot price is changed during bidding. Such zero-weighting and locking helps the buyer objectively determine the optimal bid for the lot on auction.
摘要翻译：一种拍卖方法，其中投标者之间的拍卖竞争是通过允许每个投标者除了拍卖的拍卖价格之外，还可以出价非价格出价参数（例如，交货时间，劳动力，合同长度等）。这种多参数投标在选择中标者时向买方（即拍卖请求者）提供更多样化的信息。参与电子拍卖的买家和每个投标人可以获得投标活动的实时反馈，包括针对价格和非价格参数的出价的细节，这允许每个投标人调整或修改自己的一个或多个投标（对于价格和非价格出价参数），以有效竞争拍卖。投标软件通过将每个非价格参数的出价值乘以零（0），将价格参数中的每个出价者的出价对该投标人的出价价格参数的出价消除，并锁定出价值最初收到的非价格参数，以避免在招标时更改批次价格时影响其价值。这种零加权和锁定有助于买方客观地确定拍卖地段的最佳出价。

摘要： Techniques for advancing a first bidder to a desired rank in an electronic auction are disclosed. In response to actuation of a bid rank advancement function by a first bidder, a new bid for the first bidder is calculated by applying a predetermined minimum differential value to a current bid of a second bidder that holds the desired rank in the electronic auction. The new bid is automatically submitted to the electronic auction on behalf of the first bidder.

摘要： A method of conducting an auction in at least two rounds is disclosed. The method includes conducting the first auction round, applying a rule to an occurrence in the first auction round, and conducting the second auction round in accordance with the application of the rule to the occurrence in the first auction round. A system for conducting an auction in at least two rounds is also disclosed. The system includes a sponsor processor, a first bidder processor communicating with the sponsor processor, and a second bidder processor communicating with the sponsor processor. In the system, the sponsor processor contains instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to conduct the first auction round, apply a rule to an occurrence in the first auction round, and conduct a second auction round in accordance with the applied rule.

摘要： A method and system for conducting electronic auctions is described. A dynamic lot closing extension feature avoids collisions in closing times of multiple lots by dynamically extending the closing time of a subsequent lot if a preceding lot's closing time is extended to be too close to the subsequent lot's then-currently scheduled closing time. Scheduled closing times can be extended with a flexible overtime feature, in which the properties of the event triggering the extension and the duration of the overtime period(s) can be tailored to a particular auction, particular lots of products within an auction, and to the particular time within an auction process. The bidding status of a lot can be set to a “pending” status after the nominal closing time for submission of bids to allow bidders to alert the auction coordinator of technical problems in submission of bids. This allows the possibility for a lot to be return to open status for further bidding by all bidders. The auction may be paused by the auction coordinator to correct technical, market and miscellaneous problems that may arise during the course of an auction. Individual bid ceilings can be set for each bidder so that they are required to bid lower than certain thresholds determined in advance of the auction. Failsafe error detection is performed to prevent erroneous bids from entering the auction. The auction coordinator has the ability to override any erroneous bids that are entered to prevent prejudice to the auction.

摘要： An auction is conducted by obtaining, from a buyer, information associated with a product to be purchased using an auction, where the buyer purchases the product from a winning bidder. The obtained information associated with the product is made available to at least a first bidder and a second bidder. A first bid that includes a first price and a first non-price information is received from the first bidder. A second bid that includes a second price and a second non-price information is received, from the second bidder. Non-price information is associated with (1) a description of a particular product a given bidder will provide in the event the given bidder wins the auction and/or (2) delivery of a product by the given bidder in the event the given bidder wins the auction. A first comparison value is generated based at least in part on the first price and the first non-price information. A second comparison value is generated based at least in part on the second price and the second non-price information. The first comparison value and the second comparison value are compared and the winning bidder of the auction is selected based at least in part on the comparison.

摘要： The present invention provides a method for advancing a first bidder to a selected rank in an electronic auction. This method includes calculating, in response to actuation of a bid rank advancement function, a new bid for the first bidder, and displaying the new bid to the first bidder. The new bid is calculated by applying a predetermined minimum differential value to a current bid of a second bidder that holds the rank selected by the first bidder. In one embodiment, the rank selected by the first bidder is a rank other than first. The present invention also provides a system and apparatus for advancing a first bidder to a selected rank in an electronic auction.

摘要翻译：描述进行电子拍卖的方法和系统。动态批量关闭扩展功能可以通过动态地延长后续批次的关闭时间，避免在多个批次的关闭时间内产生冲突，如果之前批次的关闭时间延长到与当前批次的当前计划的关闭时间相当太近。可以通过灵活的超时功能来延长计划的关闭时间，其中触发扩展的事件的属性和超时时段的持续时间可以针对特定拍卖，拍卖中的特定大量产品以及拍卖过程中的特定时间。在提名投标的标称关闭时间后，可以将很多投标状态设置为“待定”状态，以允许投标人在提交投标书时向拍卖协调员提醒技术问题。这样可以让所有投标人重新获得进一步招标的开放状态。拍卖协调员可能暂停拍卖，以纠正在拍卖过程中可能出现的技术，市场和杂项问题。可以为每个投标人设定个人出价上限，以使其被要求低于拍卖前确定的某些阈值。执行故障安全错误检测以防止错误出价进入拍卖。拍卖协调员有能力改变输入的任何错误投标，以防止损害拍卖。
