METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COST ESTIMATION AND PAYMENT OF THE PRODUCT
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for execution of tasks, placed by users, characterized with the presumed use of the products of more than one supplier in the course of their realization, cost setting, payment and providing the possibility for free trade with electronic content and/or software and/or services within a common, computer-based environment and which consists of the following steps:
- suppliers of electronic content and/or software and/or services address, via a computer device, which is a part of a common environment for data exchange connecting a number of computer devices, a server ran by the operator of the environment as per the method in order to deliver their products for use. The suppliers have the cost of products use for such purposes in advance set or have adopted a cost-setting approach which has been previously announced by the operator of the environment;
in a computer device, as a part of the same environment, a record is made into a machine-readable data base with an identification of the products and suppliers, prices of possible products and scenarios (scripts) for the possible solutions of tasks, executable via combinations of electronic content and/or software and/or services, delivered by different suppliers;
through a computer device, as a part of the common environment, the user addresses the operator of the environment in order to place a concrete task;
the operator of the environment performs and automatic analysis, conforming to the criteria, specified by the user, in the data base with an identification of the products and suppliers, prices of the possible products and scenarios (scripts) for the possible solutions of tasks, executable via an application of steps using electronic content and/or software and/or services, delivered by different suppliers;
in case the task can be executed, the user receives, on his/her computer device from the operator of the environment, a message containing the cost for the execution of the task as an aggregate of the separate prices for each used resource connected to the realization of a concrete result. In case of any alternative execution scenarios, they are presented in the message with their individual costs;
the user selects the scenario for the execution of the task or simply confirms the proposed, if the scenario is only one, and the task is realized.each supplier automatically receives the price for his/her products used in conformity to the methods, existing on the current technological level.

Abstract
A method has been revealed, which is applicable in the execution of tasks, characterized with the presumed use of products from more than one supplier during their realization, cost- setting and payment for electronic content and/or software and/or services, rendered by operators of computer-based systems, functioning in a common environment such as the Internet, cloudy environment, etc. The method provides the opportunity for cost-setting and payment, guaranteeing the free participation of various suppliers.

11. A system for an execution of tasks, placed by the user, characterized with a presumed use of the products of more than one supplier in the process of their realization, cost setting and payment with the use of electronic content and/or services and/or software in a common computer-based electronic environment, consisting of:
-
a unified interface for the placing of tasks and receiving the user'"'"'s solutions, realized via a computer device as a part of the environment; a unified interface, realized via a computer device as a part of the environment, giving the opportunity for an automatic addition of services and/or electronic content and/or software from suppliers and for generating of an automatic record in a data base of a machine-readable memory with identification of products and suppliers, prices of the possible products and scenarios (scripts) for possible task solutions; a data base in a machine-readable memory of a computer device, part of the environment, with scenarios (scripts) for the possible solutions of tasks, product and supplier identification and the prices of the possible products; an analytical and self-educating module for selecting suitable solutions of concrete tasks, as per the individual needs of the users, from the data base with scenarios (scripts) for the possible solutions of tasks, products and suppliers identification and prices of the possible products. - View Dependent Claims (12)
