The present invention is embodied in a system and method for managing and
controlling accounts with generated profile information. The system
includes a data generator, a database and a search agent. The data
generator generates, collects and processes data about potential buyers
and generates customer profiles. Data can be collected and processed by
any suitable means for generating profiles, such as a data gathering
session. In one example, a potential buyer can be provided with an
interactive browsing environment and allowed to select information
related to products or services. The search agent is used to create the
database, which comprises buyers having organized profiles that define
specific criteria. A profile of the buyer can be created by inferring
criteria desired by the buyer based on the interactive browsing and the
selections made by the buyer. The profile and the inferred criteria can
be compared with criteria of the products or services to match specific
products or services of subscribing sellers that the buyer has a
potential interest in based on the created profile of the buyer.
