Abstract: An e-shopping method involves on-line viewing of a first article through a linking node for virtual merging on another structure, for example, by color and/or type. An example implementation of this aspect of the present invention involves on-line viewing of a first selected article through a linking node for virtual merging on another structure, or first and second articles that are color matched for virtual merging on another structure. In one aspect, a stored user profile is accessed to pull previously-selected articles from a virtual closet. A particular application of the invention is directed to on-line apparel shopping involving a method for merging user-selected articles.

Abstract: An aspect of the disclosure is directed to an e-commerce data processing approach involving on-line viewing of a first article through a linking node for virtual merging on another structure. A particular application of the invention is directed to an application server linked to a web interface and configured to communicate the web accessible images of articles to the communicator device, the web communicator device displays the web accessible images of articles, and prompts an on-line shopper to select one or more articles from the displayed images of articles. Another aspect concerns storage of articles in a virtual closet, and allowing purchase of the stored articles by an on-line shopper using the communicator device, and tracking selected articles to provide demographic information about the sellers to the buyer.

Abstract: A method involves on-line viewing of a first article through a linking node for virtual merging on another structure. A particular application of the invention is directed to on-line apparel shopping involving a matching scheme using codes provided with images to be merged. For example, on-line viewing of one article, such as clothing, on another structure, includes creating an item from image-data corresponding to an article selected by an on-line viewer from an on-line viewer site with an image of a structure selected by the on-line viewer, and indicating whether the article and the structure satisfy a category-matching criterion. In certain embodiments, the articles are represented by (search) parameters that permit organizational advantages.

Abstract: An e-commerce method involves on-line viewing of a first article through a linking node for virtual merging on another structure. A particular application of the invention is directed to on-line apparel shopping involving a color matching scheme using color codes provided with images to be merged. For example, on-line viewing of one article, such as clothing, on another structure, includes creating an item from image-data corresponding to a colored article selected by an on-line viewer from an on-line viewer site with an image of a colored structure selected by the on-line viewer, and indicating whether the colored article and the colored structure satisfy a color-matching criterion.

The computers are coordinated to provide the merged image data for viewing by the buyer, with a revenue generating feature that generates fees for at least one of the buyer and a seller associated with one of the seller websites, and charges the at least one of the buyer and the seller for the generated fees.
