  • Patent number: 10430842
    Abstract: Techniques for dynamically pricing perishable goods. The objective is to sell all items before any remaining items become worthless. The method comprises: monitoring a time parameter T corresponding to period T0 to Tn; if T<Tn, periodically updating current price Pcurrent for an item; in response client's interest, offering a temporarily fixed price Pfreeze=Pcurrent for a freeze period ?Tfreeze; updating Pcurrent in response to offering the fixed price Pfreeze; accepting a purchase order for the item at Pfreeze if purchase order received within the freeze period ?Tfreeze; rejecting the purchase order after the freeze period ?Tfreeze; updating Pcurrent in response to receiving an accepted and/or rejected order; and repeating at least some of the above the acts until T equals maximum time Tn.

  • Publication number: 20120084173
    Abstract: Method for dynamically pricing perishable goods with objective of selling all items before point in time any remaining items become worthless, the method comprising: a) controlling time-to-live parameter (TTL) corresponding to maximum time period (t=tn) an item is good for sale, and if time-to-live parameter (TTL)?tn, then; b) counting down update frequency time period until price is updated; c) if interest to buy the goods is received, offering temporarily fixed price Pfreeze equal to current price for a limited period; d) automatically updating current price according to expressed interest; e) accepting order at temporarily fixed price if order is received within limited time period; f) rejecting the order if order is received after limited time period; g) automatically updating current price in accordance with time of receiving accepted order or elapsing of update frequency time period, and automatically repeating the steps b)-g) until time period equals time-to-live parameter.
