AS A RESULT OF REEXAMINATION, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT:
Claims 1-22 are cancelled.
1. A computer-implemented method of selecting an item from a plurality of items, the method comprising:
generating, by at least one computer processor, a first display, the first display comprises:
a part of an item identifier for at least a first set of items and
a part of an item identifier for at least a second set of items in a database;
enabling, by the at least one computer processor, selection of one of the two parts of the item identifiers by a user using a user interface;
generating, by the at least one computer processor, in response to the selection of the one of the two parts, a further display; wherein the further display comprises:
an additional part of an item identifier for at least a third set of items and an additional part of an item identifier for at least a fourth set of items; and
the previously selected one of the two parts of the item identifiers;
enabling, by the at least one computer processor, selection of one of the two additional parts of the item identifiers by the user using the user interface;
combining, by the at least one computer processor, the selected one of the two parts of the item identifiers with the selected one of the two additional parts of the item identifiers to create a larger part of the item identifiers; and
displaying, by the at least one computer processor, the larger part of the item identifiers; wherein
the parts of the item identifiers and the additional parts of the item identifiers are text symbols and the additional parts of the item identifiers are shorter than complete item identifiers; and
the first set of items identifiers and the second set of item identifiers are mutually exclusive of one another and the third set of item identifiers and the fourth set of item identifiers are mutually exclusive subsets of the first set of item identifiers or the second set of item identifiers.
