Abstract

A method for establishing templated websites for compiling, storing and accessing preselected subject information. The method comprises the steps of establishing a data base having a predetermined number of separate fields and establishing at least one portfolio website. The method includes the step of utilizing at least one template having separate fields for inserting relevant information for at least one subsequent preselected use, the at least one template incorporating all of the relevant information related to such preselected subject information. The method includes the step of providing a user identification and/or a password for enabling a user to access the preselected subject information compiled and stored in an online management system.

Claims

1. A method for establishing templated websites for compiling, storing and accessing preselected subject information;

said method comprising the steps of;

(a) establishing a database having a predetermined number of separate fields;

(b) establishing at least one portfolio website;

(c) utilizing at least one template having said separate fields for inserting relevant information for at least one subsequent preselected use, said at least one template incorporating all of said relevant information relating to such preselected subject information; and

(d) providing a means for enabling a user to access said preselected subject information compiled and stored in an online management system.

2. The method, according to claim 1, wherein said at least one subsequent preselected use is designing a product and said method includes the additional step of establishing a virtual product design based on said relevant information.

3. The method, according to claim 1, wherein said at least one subsequent preselected use is producing a virtual prototype and said method includes the additional step of developing said virtual prototype based on a product design.

4. The method, according to claim 3, wherein said method further includes the additional step of using said portfolio website established in step (b) with said virtual prototype developed for offering a product design to prospective users.

5. The method, according to claim 1, wherein said method includes the additional step of saving said relevant information inserted into said separate fields in step (c) to a database.

6. The method, according to claim 1, wherein said method includes providing an interface means for accessing said portfolio website.

7. The method, according to claim 6, wherein said interface means for accessing said portfolio website includes the step of linking a website field to said portfolio website.

8. The method, according to claim 2, wherein said method includes the additional step of providing access of potentially interested parties to said at least one templated website containing said product design, said potentially interested parties selected from at least one of users, manufacturers and marketers of said product design.

9. The method, according to claim 2, wherein said method includes the additional step of communicating to potentially interested parties said product design, said potentially interested parties selected from at least one of users, manufacturers and marketers of said product design.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein step (b) includes establishing a plurality of portfolio websites.

11. The method, according to claim 1, wherein step (b) includes establishing at least one master website and a plurality of individual user websites and said method includes feeding said individual user website from said at least one master website.

13. The method, according to claim 12, wherein said database feeds said website template.

14. The method, according to claim 12, wherein each time a user selects a template, said method includes the additional steps of enabling said online management system to retrieve at least one of preselected subject information and relevant information stored therein and automatically populating said website template.

15. The method, according to claim 1, wherein said means for enabling a user to access said preselected subject information includes at least one of a user identification and a password.

16. The method, according to claim 1, wherein said preselected subject information includes at least one of ideas and inventions.

17. A method for presenting a predetermined plurality of product designs as an online tradeshow using portfolio websites for compiling, storing and accessing preselected subject information;

said method comprising the steps of;

(a) establishing a database having a predetermined number of separate fields for receiving relevant information therein;

(b) entering said relevant information into said separate fields;

(c) establishing a predetermined plurality of portfolio websites;

(d) utilizing at least one template having said separate fields with relevant information inserted therein for at least one subsequent preselected use, said at least one template incorporating all of said relevant information relating to such preselected subject information; and

(e) selecting a predetermined number of portfolio websites for viewing online utilizing relevant information within said separate fields.

18. The method, according to claim 17, wherein said method includes the step of linking said portfolio websites established in step (a) to said online tradeshow.

19. The method, according to claim 18, wherein said method includes the step of enabling potentially interested parties selected from at least one of users, manufacturers and marketers to access said online trade show for searching and reviewing said portfolio websites.

20. The method, according to claim 19, wherein the step of enabling potentially interested parties to access said online trade show further includes the step of inputting at least one of a user identification and a password.
