System and Method for Ordering Items

Abstract

A system and method for retrieving items, the method includes the steps of receiving a text request comprising a unique identifier identifying and electronic file and unformatted text, parsing the text request to identify the unique identifier, and requesting the electronic file associated with the unique identifier. Where the request comprises more than one unique identifier, the unique identifiers are provided to a user for selection of one or more of the unique identifiers and the user is queried to order the file associated with the selected unique identifiers.

       48 . A computer implemented method for retrieving at least one multimedia file over a network, the method comprising:
 providing a browser window capable of receiving a text request string;   receiving in said browser window a text request string comprising a unique identifier and unformatted text, wherein the unique identifier identifies a multimedia file;   parsing the text request string to identify the unique identifier(s) in the string, wherein identifying includes matching based on selected criteria;   providing the unique identifier(s) to a user for selection of a plurality of said unique identifiers, wherein the number of unique identifiers provided to the user for selection is the same as the number of multimedia files for retrieval;   querying a user to order the multimedia file(s) identified by the selected unique identifier(s), wherein the multimedia file(s) ordered are delivered to a user electronically.   
   
   
       49 . The method of  claim 48 , wherein multimedia files identified by the selected unique identifiers are delivered electronically as a bundle. 
   
   
       50 . The method of  claim 48 , wherein the multimedia files are MP3 files or MP4 files. 
   
   
       51 . The method of  claim 48 , wherein the parsing step is executed by a client computer. 
   
   
       52 . The method of  claim 48 , wherein the parsing step is executed by a server computer. 
   
   
       53 . A computer-implemented method for retrieving a plurality of multimedia files over a network, the method comprising:
 providing a browser window capable of receiving a request;   receiving in said browser window a request comprising a unique identifier and data, wherein the unique identifier identifies a unique multimedia file;   parsing the request to identify the unique identifiers, wherein identifying includes matching based on selected criteria;   providing the unique identifiers to a user for selection of a plurality of unique identifiers, wherein the number of unique identifiers provided to the user for selection is the same as the number of multimedia files for retrieval;   querying a user to order the items identified by the selected unique identifiers, wherein multimedia file(s) ordered are delivered to a user electronically.   
   
   
       54 . The system of  claim 53 , wherein multimedia files identified by the selected unique identifiers are delivered as a bundle. 
   
   
       55 . The system of  claim 53 , wherein the multimedia files are MP3 files or MP4 files. 
   
   
       56 . The system of  claim 53 , wherein the parsing step is executed by a client computer. 
   
   
       57 . The system of  claim 53 , wherein the parsing step is implemented on a server computer. 
   
   
       58 . The system of  claim 53 , wherein the request comprises an image. 
   
   
       59 . A computer-implemented system for retrieving at least one multimedia file over a network comprising:
 a browser window capable of receiving a request;   a request module receiving a request comprising a unique identifier and data wherein the unique identifier identifies unique multimedia files;   a parser module identifying the unique identifier(s), wherein identifying includes matching based on selected criteria;   a display module that provides the unique identifier(s) to a user for selection of one or more of the unique identifiers; wherein the number of unique identifiers provided to the user for selection is the same as the number of items for retrieval;   an order module that enables a server system to process an order for the multimedia file(s) identified by the unique identifier(s); wherein the multimedia file(s) ordered are delivered to a user electronically.   
   
   
       60 . The method of  claim 59 , wherein items identified by the selected unique identifiers are delivered electronically as a bundle. 
   
   
       61 . The system of  claim 59 , wherein the parser module is implemented on a server computer. 
   
   
       62 . The system of  claim 59 , wherein the parser module is implemented on a client computer. 
   
   
       63 . The method of  claim 59 , wherein the request comprises an image. 
   
   
       64 . A computer program product readable by a computing system and encoding a computer program of instructions for executing a computer method for retrieving at least one multimedia file over a network, said computer method comprising:
 providing a browser window capable of receiving a request;   receiving in said browser window a request comprising a unique identifier and data, wherein the unique identifier identifies a unique multimedia file;   parsing the request to identify the unique identifier(s), wherein identifying includes matching based on selected criteria;   providing the unique identifier(s) to a user for selection of at least one unique identifier, wherein the number of unique identifier(s) provided to the user for selection is the same as the number of items for retrieval;   querying a user to order the items identified by the selected unique identifier(s); wherein the multimedia file(s) ordered are delivered to a user electronically.   
   
   
       65 . The method of  claim 64 , wherein multimedia files identified by the selected unique identifiers are delivered electronically as a bundle. 
   
   
       66 . The system of  claim 64 , wherein the parser module is implemented on a server computer. 
   
   
       67 . The system of  claim 64 , wherein the parser module is implemented on a client computer.
