or

How I learned to stop worrying and love E-Commerce

Internet Commerce Today
Online shopping sites are proliferating
Each has a proprietary method for selection, ordering,
and payment
27% of online buyers abandon orders before
check-out due to the hassle of filling out forms
1
What is needed:
A standard set of attributes for ordering and payment
An electronic wallet (E-Wallet) to store values for those
attributes

What is an E-Wallet?
Software used to automatically supply ordering and
payment information during an online transaction

E-Commerce Challenges
Large on-line shopping sites dominate the market with proprietary
interface for selection, order, payment, and completion
No Ease of Use: 66% of on-line shopping carts are abandoned
prior to the check-out due to the complexity
Challenge for the digital TV commerce:
Universal shopping: can easily go and shop from any site
Ease of use: one button selection, user profile, payment etc.
Security and subscriber management in the cable media
Leverage the TV assets: shopping via Enhanced TV or VOD

E-Wallet
A E-wallet is a software application for user to store, manipulate,
and pay for Internet purchase with various types of payment
instruments (credit card, Smart card)
The information in the E-wallet is stored in either client side or
server side
The benefit that E-wallet can provide:
One-button shopping: 66% of on-line shopping carts are abandoned prior
to the check-out
Ease of account management instead of submitting to multiple sites
Allow universal interface with multiple E-Commerce sites
Add value to service provider or portal such as cable operators and
possibly tied with conditional access and smart card

ECML (Electronic Commerce
Modeling Language)
A standard to define the data attributes for E-Wallet that allows
the E-Wallet to automatically exchange information with the
merchant sites
ECML (Electronic Commerce Modeling Language) is created as
an universal language for the (similar to the role of HTML to
Internet)
Define data attributes for E-Wallet and online merchant
Seamless exchange of order and payment information

Implementation
ECML is security protocol independent (such as SSL, SET)
Merchant:
One time change of the check out page to incorporate uniform fields
Implementation of ECML does not change the look and feel of the
merchants Web site
