Network affinity-group commerce method involving system management fulfilment

Abstract

An electronic, computer-based, system-manager-supervised, network-commerce, method featuring cloud-computing-type activity, and including (a) forming within an electronic-network a subassembly of selected, distributed, different-affinity-interest, network-connected groups, (b) creating, selectively and distributively within the network, for such groups, selected, controlled-access, physical-electronic, digital-database catalogues of relevant, affinity-interest deliverables via selecting providers of such deliverables, and managing the electronic placement into the catalogues of chosen, selected-provider deliverables, (c) establishing, for and within each such group, vetted and incentivized, group-personnel entrepreneurial activity, wherein at least one so vetted group member is authorized to promote over the network, sales from a relevant catalogue of associated-provider deliverables, and (d) in association with such sales, and utilizing network resources, furnishing ancillary, commerce-related sales support of a character which is common to at least plural ones of such selected affinity-interest groups, but independent of group-specific affinity-interest subject matter.

1 . An electronic, computer-based, network-commerce methodology employing the structure of an electronic-information communication and exchange network, wherein purchasable deliverables are transformably represented for suitable display and purchase by the storage and flow of electronic data, and involving sourcing-provider vetted, authorized and incentivized selected-peer entrepreneurship, said method, under the step supervision of a system manager, comprising
 choosing, as desired, within such a network, an electronic-network subassembly of selected P2P network groups, characterized with peers having respective, different affinity interests in defined, different, affinity-interest-associated subject matters,   creating in network-connected computer structure, for each such P2P group, a limited-access, digital-data catalogue of relevant, affinity-interest and ancillary-subject-matter deliverables via selecting providers of such deliverables, and managing the   electronic placement of chosen, selected-provider deliverables into, and storage within, the catalogue, in the form of representative electronic data, electronically limiting access to subject matter represented by data stored in the created catalogues to only (a) an appropriately, entrepreneurially vetted peer, and (b) another party to whom such access is furnished specifically, and only, by such a vetted peer,   establishing, for and within each such P2P group, sourcing-provider entrepreneurially vetted and incentivized, P2P entrepreneurial activity, wherein at least one so vetted peer is authorized to promote to others, over the network, sales from the relevant catalogue of associated-provider deliverables, and   in association with electronically effected sales promoted by such entrepreneurial activity, furnishing ancillary, commerce-related sales support of a character which is common to at least plural ones of such selected P2P groups, but independent of group-specific affinity-interest subject matter.   
     
     
         2 . The methodology of  claim 1 , wherein said furnishing of sales support comprises providing sales fulfillment, including aggregation-type fulfillment. 
     
     
         3 . The methodology of  claim 1 , wherein said creating and managing are associated with electronically representational placement into the catalogue of digital-data-format deliverables. 
     
     
         4 . An electronic, computer-based, network-commerce methodology comprising, under the supervision of a system manager, the steps of
 selecting a P2P group having an association with a particular, affinity-interest subject matter,   creating, in network-connected computer structure, for the selected group, a controlled-access physical-electronic, digital catalogue of relevant, affinity-interest deliverables via selecting providers of such deliverables, and managing the electronic placement of chosen, selected-provider deliverables into, and storage within, the catalogue, in the form of representative electronic data,   establishing, for and within the selected group, entrepreneurially vetted and incentivized, P2P activity, wherein at least one so vetted peer is authorized to promote to others, over the network, sales from the relevant catalogue of associated-provider deliverables, and   in association with sales promoted by such entrepreneurial activity, furnishing ancillary, commerce-related sales support of a character which is independent of the group-specific affinity-interest subject matter.   
     
     
         5 . The methodology of  claim 4 , wherein said furnishing of sales support comprises providing sales fulfillment, including aggregation-type fulfillment. 
     
     
         6 . The methodology of  claim 4 , wherein said creating and managing are associated with placement into the catalogue of digital-data-format deliverables. 
     
     
         7 . An electronic, computer-based, network-commerce, cloud-computing-type methodology comprising, under the step supervision of a system manager, the steps of
 choosing within such a network, as desired, an electronic-network subassembly of selected, distributed, different-affinity-interest, computer-network-connected groups,   creating selectively and distributively within the network, for such groups, selected, controlled-access, physical-electronic, digital-database catalogues of relevant, affinity-interest deliverables via selecting providers of such deliverables, and managing the electronic placement of chosen, selected-provider deliverables into, and storage within, the catalogue, in the form of representative electronic data,   establishing, for and within each such affinity-interest group, entrepreneurially vetted and incentivized, group-personnel entrepreneurial activity, wherein at least one so vetted group member is authorized to promote over the network, sales from a relevant catalogue of associated-provider deliverables, and   in association with sales promoted by such entrepreneurial activity, and utilizing network-available computer resources, furnishing ancillary, commerce-related sales support of a character which is common to at least plural ones of such selected affinity-interest groups, but independent of group-specific affinity-interest subject matter.   
     
     
         8 . The methodology of  claim 7 , wherein said furnishing of sales support comprises providing sales fulfillment, including aggregation-type fulfillment. 
     
     
         9 . The methodology of  claim 7 , wherein said creating and managing are associated with placement into the catalogues of digital-data-format deliverables.
