    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a client in the network of computers to participate in an electronic transaction for purchasing a product from a dealer together with plural dealers spread over several web servers, to enable the client to perform a certain transaction with a certain dealer while referring to the result of the other transaction with the other dealer and to be more specific, to present each article, which can be acquired from any dealer, selected by a customer as an individual object in a state corresponding thereto. SOLUTION: Buying, securing or conditional state locks the correspondent object in the web server and while a present customer effectively utilizes that object, the other transaction with the other customer concerning that specified article is prevented from occurring. In order to cancel the previous transaction of the other dealer with the present customer, the conditional state supports the dealer to contact the other dealer by sending a signal to that dealer.
