• transmitter-means for broadcasting a program signal;
• a plurality of mobile stations, each mobile station including,
  • receiver-means for receiving the program signal;
  • interface means for communicating the program signal to a user; [~ displaying information identifying the item]
  • controller means for processing program identification information from the program signal and for generating from the processed program identification information and a user-input signal, a user-data signal; and
  • data-transmitter means for transmitting the user-data signal as a transmitted-data signal; [sending a request to order the item along with an identifier of a purchaser of the item to a server system]
• repeater means responsive to receiving the transmitted-data signal for relaying the user-data signal to said processing center [routing]; and
• location means responsive to receiving the transmitted-data signal through at least two of the repeater means for determining a location of said mobile station.

under control of a client system (1)	mobile station
displaying information identifying the item (2)	"The method further includes communicating at the mobile terminal 401 the program signal to a user. The program signal can be music with advertisements or solicitations periodically placed between music selections. The program signal is communicated to the user through a audio device such as a speaker. Additionally, the program signal may communicate to the user video information which would be displayed on a visual display. The user has the option of inputting to the mobile terminal 401 a user-input signal. The user can generate the user-input signal by speaking into a microphone which converts the user's voice to a digital signal processes the converted voice signal to generate a user-input signal. For example, the user might speak the word ORDER which indicates to place an order of the item being advertised in the advertisement of the program signal. The spoken word ORDER is converted to a digital signal, identified and recognized. The resulting output is the user-input signal. Alternatively, the user may place an order by pushing a button or touching a touch screen on a display."
in response to only a single action being performed (3)	"The method further includes using the identification information and the user-input signal to generate a user-data signal." "The user-data signal is modulated on a carrier signal at a carrier frequency, and the modulated carrier frequency is transmitted by data transmitter 404 as a transmitted-data signal. The transmitted-data signal is relayed through a satellite 421 to the processing center 422."

the request including the identifier so that the server system can locate additional information needed to complete the order and so that the server system can fulfill the generated order to complete purchase of the item (5)	"The satellite 421 relays the transmitted-data signal to the processing center 422. The processing center 422, which receives the user-data signal from the satellite 421, demodulates the user-data signal from the transmitted-data signal, and processes information from the user-data signal, and determines identification information."
a data storage medium storing information for a plurality of users (7)	"A user may input a credit card number for placing an order, or a user's credit card number may be stored at the processing center."
a receiving component for receiving requests to order an item [...], the request being sent in response to only a single action being performed (8)	receiving component = processing center; see FIG. 4 below.
a request including an indication of one of the plurality of users (9)	"The method further includes using the identification information and the user-input signal to generate a user-data signal."
an order placement component that retrieves from the data storage medium information for the indicated user (10)	"The processing center 422, which receives the user-data signal from the satellite 421, demodulates the user-data signal from the transmitted-data signal, and processes information from the user-data signal, and determines identification information."
uses the retrieved information to place an order for the indicated user for the item (11)	"order goods or services offered for sale." "For example, the user might speak the word ORDER which indicates to place an order of the item being advertised in the advertisement of the program signal;" "the processing center 422 can [...] process an order by a user."
fulfilling the generated order to complete purchase of the item whereby the item is ordered without using a shopping cart ordering model (12)	The response, for example, might be ordering something which is being offered for sale. The music which was most recently played and sent over the program signal, for example, might be offered for sale on a compact disc. The user has the option of ordering the compact disc by inputting a user-input signal using input device 416. The user might generate the user-input signal by speaking into a microphone. In this case, the controller 403 is programmed to recognize the user's voice and the command. For example, the command might be ORDER. In response to ORDER, the user-input signal would send this information to order the compact disc. Alternatively, the input device 416 might be a push button or a touch screen of a display. The user merely would push the push button or touch the appropriate place on the display screen for ordering the compact disc. The controller 403 generates a user-data signal which includes the order information generated from the input device 416. The controller 403 also may process identification information from the program signal which was received from the broadcast receiver 402. The identification information may include identification of the advertisement which offered the compact disc, for example, for sale, an identification of the broadcast transmitter 411, the carrier frequency of the program signal, or any other information which would identify the advertisement, solicitation, or other communication inviting a response. Additionally, the controller 403 may also have location information as to the location and positioning of the mobile terminal 401. The identification information and user-input signal is combined in the controller 403 as a user-data signal.

A system for facilitating commercial transactions, between a plurality of customers and at least one supplier of items, over a computer driven network capable of providing communications between the supplier and at least one customer site associated with each customer and including an input means and a display, the system comprising:

1. means for causing at least one supplier to be represented on the display for selection by the customer using the input means;
2. means for effecting presentation of items on the display for customer observation;
3. an item database associated with a supplier and including information on presented items;
4. pricing means for receiving information from the item database to determine the cost associated with a presented item;
5. a customer information database for storing information relating to a customer; and
6. means for creating a customer monitoring object for each customer by referencing information, relating to that customer, which had been stored in the customer information database and upon the customer selecting at least one supplier such that the customer monitoring object is configured to operate by
   1. responding to customer enquiries, communicated through the input means, regarding a presented item by accessing the item database to retrieve information relating to said item and to present said information to the customer by means of the display,
   2. receiving a customer's selection of a presented item through the input means,
   3. communicating with the pricing means to have the cost of the item determined,
   4. presenting the cost to the customer by means of the display,
   5. receiving customer communications, through the input means, indicating a desire to receive the item, and
   6. passing a delivery initiation communication to initiate the delivery of the item to the customer.

I read that 5,710,887 is one action. Nevertheless claim 9 reads:

• means for causing the customer monitoring object to receive the information related to the forms of payment available to the customer and to present the customer with a selection of the forms of payment;
• means for receiving a first security code, related to a selected form of payment, from the customer; and
• means for validating the first security code by comparison to a second security code available to the customer monitoring object;
• whereby payment for the item is initiated if the first security code is validated.

To show that 5,710,887 anticipate 1-click we use claims 1, 2, 4, 6 and 18. None of these claims depend on claim 9.

under control of a client system (1)	"Purchasing system 10 also has multiple purchasing terminals 18-23 located remotely from transaction processing unit 12. Purchasing terminals 18-23 are illustrated as many different types of electronic devices, including a point-of-purchase register 18, a personal computer 19, a telephone 20, a stand-alone machine 21 (e.g., an ATM), a television and set-top box unit 22, and a magnetic-stripe credit card reader 23 (e.g., a Verifone reader). Each purchasing terminal has an input device which can receive a purchase request from a purchaser to buy goods and/or services from a merchant. The input device can be in the form of a keypad (as in the case of the register 18, telephone 20, stand-alone machine 21, and card reader 23) or a keyboard or mouse (as in the case of computer 19), or a remote control device (as in the case of a remote for the TV and set-top box unit 22). These illustrated purchase terminals are only a representative sample, as many other electronic devices can be used to make purchases in the computerized purchasing system of this invention."
displaying information identifying the item (2)	see FIG. 5
in response to only a single action being performed (3)	See Buy button on FIG. 5. "A cancel button 112 and a buy button 114 enable the subscriber to accept or deny the transaction before any money exchanges hands." Regarding the selection of the payment method: "FIG. 5 is but one example arrangement of information that can be presented to the subscriber, and many other arrangements with more or less information can be used." So there can be less information and "[the user interface] includes a spin dial 110 which presents the available payment methods in a sequential order, and if desired, in a prearranged order according to the subscriber's preferences." So Microsoft teaches that the preferred payment method can be displayed first. This is the default: "The subscriber selects the default payment method, or cycles through any alternative choices, to inform the purchasing system of a desired payment method."
sending a request to order the item [...] to a server system (4)	"an interactive communication network which interfaces the remotely located purchasing terminals with the centrally located transaction processing unit, the communication network transferring the purchase request from one of the purchasing terminals to the transaction processing unit" [claim 6]
the request including the identifier so that the server system can locate additional information needed to complete the order and so that the server system can fulfill the generated order to complete purchase of the item (5)	"If the purchaser confirms the purchase transaction, the processing unit attaches an unforgeable digital signature on behalf of the purchaser to authorize the purchase and to validate for the merchant that a sale has been consummated. The digital signatures are produced using signing tools, such as cryptographic signing keys, which are unique to corresponding purchasers and are stored in the purchaser database. A password entered by the purchaser authorizes the processing unit to use his/her associated signing tool kept in the purchaser database. This digital signature assures the merchant that a legally enforceable purchase transaction has occurred." The digital signature is unique to corresponding purchaser. It is an identifier of a purchaser.
a data storage medium storing information for a plurality of users (7)	a purchaser database provided at the transaction processing unit, the purchaser database having a list of purchasers and sets of personal payment methods for corresponding ones of the purchasers, whereby an individual purchaser could use any one of the personal payment methods in that purchaser's corresponding set to purchase the goods and/or services;" [claim 6]
a receiving component for receiving requests to order an item [...], the request being sent in response to only a single action being performed (8)	"an interactive communication network which interfaces the remotely located purchasing terminals with the centrally located transaction processing unit, the communication network transferring the purchase request from one of the purchasing terminals to the transaction processing unit" [claim 6]

an order placement component that retrieves from the data storage medium information for the indicated user (10)	"the consummated purchase transaction is forwarded from purchase mediator 84 to transaction routing system." "The transaction routing system selects a subscriber account."
uses the retrieved information to place an order for the indicated user for the item (11)	"[The transaction routing system] authorizes a withdrawal from the subscriber account, and authorizes a corresponding deposit in the merchant account"
