    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for overcoming lost opportunities in the world of car vetting, bidding, and acquisition. The present invention helps automotive industry individuals and businesses take advantage of opportunities to acquire cars that they previously would not have been able to purchase due to limitations in the present technology in the field. This may be accomplished through enabling a system to compile unstandardized information from various locations throughout the world and standardizing such information by factoring in various inconsistencies that exist based on fragmented descriptions and standards across the automotive industry. The present invention configures a system to allow users to sort through, track, and organize information in a way that has never existed enabling them to make real time decisions on acquisition of automobiles that would not otherwise be possible.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for on demand local commerce are described. One example embodiment includes a device gathering location information and product interest associated with clients and client devices. The system may use location information in determining that the first plurality of client devices are within a first geographic area during a first time period, and may further use the interest information in calculating an interest level for a first product. A threshold may be identified and used in determining that the interest level for the first product exceeds the threshold. When the calculated interest level exceeds the threshold, a local commerce action is initiated. In various embodiments, the local commerce action may be a live on demand auction at a particular location, an offer associated with a geofenced area, a sales location recommendation to a merchant, or any other such local commerce action.

    Abstract: Orders received by an electronic trading system are processed in batches based on the instrument to which an order relates. An incoming order is assigned to a queue of a queue set that makes up the batch according to a random process. Where orders are received from related trading parties, they are assigned to the same queue set according to their time of receipt. The batch has a random duration within defined minimum and maximum durations and at the end of the batch, the orders held in the queues are transferred to a matching thread of the trading system sequentially with one order being removed from each queue and a number of passes of the queues completed until orders have been removed.

    Abstract: A direct-to-consumer system for commerce is provided that connects qualified buyers to both sellers and lenders in a singular platform. The platform enables the ability to bid on auction items matched to a buyer's personal and financial criteria and participate in a competitive reverse-bidding platform while having access to real-time indications of how financial decisions affect a buyer's personal finances. Having a singular system that cuts out unnecessary third parties can save both parties time, money, and stress.
