Abstract: Enhanced user selection interface structures comprise one or more buttons that are linked to selectable characteristics, and a display linked to the buttons, for display of an item that corresponds to the selected characteristics. The interface is typically linked to a database comprising stored images and other information that corresponds to the selectable characteristics, wherein an image that corresponds to an item that meets a selected characteristic is retrieved and displayed. Corresponding information other than the image may also be retrieved and displayed. In some embodiments, the stored images comprise a single image that matches all the selected characteristics. In alternate embodiments, the displayed image comprises a composite image that corresponds to different selected characteristics. In some embodiments, the user selection interface comprises any of a graphic user interface or a mechanical interface.

Abstract: An Internet wire-mesh merchandising system comprises a webserver for generating a web presence. Potential customers are allowed to log-on to a website operated by a retailer, distributor, and manufacturer. An HTML product page includes navigation buttons that link to other HTML product pages. Each page further includes JPG or GIF type pictures that allow the shopper to see a particular product corresponding to a presently displayed HTML product page. A group of alternate-view buttons link to other pictures of the same product that show variations or different perspectives. A set of four navigation buttons permit the shopper to hyperlink to HTML product pages. Once the link is taken, a graphic is presented. The list of hyperlinks includes only those HTML product pages that represent available combinations. A “price” and an “order” hypertext allow the shopper to see the product price for the selected item and to order it electronically.

Abstract: A user selection interface system comprises one or more circular selectors linked to selectable characteristics, and a display linked to the selectors, for display of an image which corresponds to the selected characteristics. The interface is typically linked to a database comprising stored image and other information which corresponds to the selectable characteristics, whereby an image that corresponds to an item which meets a selected characteristic is retrieved and displayed. Information other than the image which corresponds to the selectable characteristics may also be retrieved and displayed. In some embodiments, the stored images comprise a single image, which matches all the selected characteristics. In alternate embodiments, the displayed image comprises a composite image that is based upon stored images which correspond to different selected characteristics. In some embodiments, the user selection interface comprises a graphic user interface.

Abstract: The present invention is an Internet wire-mesh merchandising system that comprises a webserver for generating a web presence. Potential customers looking to select and buy wire mesh are allowed to log-on to a website operated by a wire-mesh retailer, distributor, and manufacturer. An HTML product page includes navigation buttons that link to other HTML product pages. Each page further includes JPG or GIF type pictures that allow the shopper to see a particular wire mesh product corresponding to a presently displayed HTML product page. A group of alternate-view buttons link to other pictures of the same product that show variations or different perspectives. A set of four navigation buttons permit the shopper to hyperlink to HTML product pages where the wire mesh is finer, coarser, thinner, and thicker. Once the link is taken, a graphic is presented that corresponds to the selected wire-mesh.
