TL;DR: In this paper, a system and methods for conducting Internet based financial transactions between a client and a server is presented, which includes authentication, wherein the client authentication module and the server authentication modules communicate via the internet connection and are authenticated to each other.
Abstract: A system and methods for conducting Internet based financial transactions between a client and a server. The client has a processor, a printer, a client authentication module, a module for issuing a transaction request, and a unique digital signature. The server has a network including a transaction server, a transaction database, a server authentication module, and a receipt generation module. An internet connection is used between the client and the server network. The transaction execution system includes authentication, wherein the client authentication module and the server authentication modules communicate via the internet connection and are authenticated to each other. A transaction module is included wherein, in response to the client and server being authenticated, the client issues a transaction request to the server and the transaction server, in response to a client transaction request, executes an electronic payment transaction at the server and records the transaction in the transaction database. The server receipt generation module, in response to an executed electronic payment, then generates a receipt and transmits the receipt to the client. The receipt includes the client digital signature and a data set uniquely identifying the executed transaction and is printable by the client printer. The printed receipt is an evidence of payment for the executed transaction. In addition, a third party seller having a processor and a database can be connected via a communication channel to the server, wherein the client further obtains a registration certificate representative of being a consumer registered with said third party seller. A third party credit facility also may be connected via a communication link to the server, for implementing credit card transactions. The transaction execution system may be to purchase an amount of postage, to purchase a ticket for air travel or to an entertainment complex or the like.
TL;DR: In this article, a transaction server maintains a database of pending loan applications and their statuses; each party to the loan can search and modify that database consistent with their role in the transaction.
Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for trading loans in real time by making loan applications, such as home mortgage loan applications, and placing them up for bit by a plurality of potential lenders. A transaction server maintains a database of pending loan applications and their statuses; each party to the loan can search and modify that database consistent with their role in the transaction, by request to the server from a client device identified with their role. Brokers at a broker station can add loan applications, can review the status of loan applications entered by that broker, are notified of lender's bids on their loans, and can accept bids by lenders. Lenders at a lender station can search the database for particular desired types of loans, can sort selected loans by particular desired criteria, can bid on loan applications, and are notified when their bids are accepted. Broker stations, lender stations and the transaction server can be coupled using multiple access methods, including Internet, Intranet, or dial-up or leased communication lines.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a retail method over a wide area network, where a point of sale computer station (41), a network service provider server (31, 32,..., 33), a customer computer station, and a transaction server (20) having access to identification information of the network service providers and the point-of-sale computer station are connected to the wide-area network.
Abstract: A retail method over a wide area network. The wide area network includes a point of sale computer station (41), a network service provider server (31, 32, ..., 33) operated by a network service provider (31, ..., 33), a customer computer station (51, 52, ..., 72) used by a customer and connected to the wide area network through the network service provider server (31, 32, ..., 33), and a transaction server (20) having access to identification information of the network service provider (31, ..., 33) and the point of sale computer station (41, ..., 43). The method includes the steps of connecting the customer computer station (51, ..., 72) to the point of sale computer station (41, ..., 43), purchasing goods from the point of sale computer station (41, ..., 43) by the customer, validation of the purchasing by the transaction server (20) and the network service provider server (31, ..., 33), charging the customer for the purchase. The step of charging includes a transaction including the steps of billing an account of the customer by the network service provider server (31, ..., 33) a transaction sum and billing by the transaction server (20) an account of the network service provider server (31, ..., 33) the transaction sum. The retail method also includes supplying the goods to the customer and remitting a portion of the transaction sum to a vendor operating the point of sale computer station (41, ..., 43).
TL;DR: A disclosed hand-held device provides a game service system having a wireless communication interface, a display screen and a microprocessor which generates a number of game service interfaces on the display screen as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A disclosed hand-held device provides a game service system having a wire-less communication interface, a display screen and a microprocessor which generates a number of game service interfaces on the display screen. The hand-held device may input ticket voucher information and communicate with a remote transaction server such that a ticket voucher may be validated. Additionally, the hand-held device may be used to provide a variety of gaming services using different game service interfaces provided on the device. These hand-held devices may be checked out by a game service representative in a secure manner such that the game service representative may roam a game playing area and provide various game services to game players in the game playing area using the hand-held device. These game services may include ticket validation, a prize validation, food services, accommodation services or a gaming operations services.
TL;DR: In this paper, a user interface for an electronic trading exchange is provided which allows a remote trader to view in real time bid orders, offer orders, and trades for an item, and optionally one or more sources of contextual data.
Abstract: A user interface for an electronic trading exchange is provided which allows a remote trader to view in real time bid orders, offer orders, and trades for an item, and optionally one or more sources of contextual data. Individual traders place orders on remote client terminals, and this information is routed to a transaction server. The transaction server receives order information from the remote terminals, matches a bid for an item to an offer for an item responsive to the bid corresponding with the offer, and communicates outstanding bid and offer information, and additional information (such as trades and contextual data) back to the client terminals. Each client terminal displays all of the outstanding bids and offers for an item, allowing the trader to view trends in orders for an item. A priority view is provided in which orders are displayed as tokens at locations corresponding to the values of the orders. The size of the tokens reflects the quantity of the orders. An alternate view positions order icons at a location which reflects the value and quantity of the order. Additionally, contextual data for the item is also displayed to allow the trader to consider as much information as possible while making transaction decisions. A pit panel view is also provided in which traders connected to the pit are represented by icons, and are displayed corresponding to an activity level of the trader.
