ABSTRACT:
The invention consists of a method and system for enabling and enhancing electronic commerce over a communications channel.
The system includes a communication channel coupled to at least two terminals having the ability to send, and receive information. Where one terminal is deemed to be the client A, and the other terminal is deemed the server B. Upon receiving a request for information from the client A, the server B transfers the requested information. In addition to the requested information, the server B adds certain additional information in the form of a coupon C (that can be enciphered) that allows the client A to be recognized by other servers B' not necessarily related to the server B, issuing the original information C. Any server(s) B' that subsequently recognizes client A as the client A makes requests for information to the new server(s) B' would only have the ability to recognize portions of the information C related to it. When client A makes certain electronic requests from server B', server B' will simultaneously make a request to a database on server D that will authenticate the information C that transpired between client A and server B'. Upon authentication and verification by server D, server B' will allow client A to proceed with any transactions and/or any request for information subject to other criteria of server B'.
