Abstract: Technologies for remotely managing payment authorization request messaging for payment transactions include a transaction management controller of one environment and a point of interaction device of another environment. The transaction management controller receives a transaction amount for a payment transaction from a business management engine. The payment transaction is based on a purchase transaction initiated by a merchant computing device of the other environment. The transaction management controller also receives payment card data from the point of interaction device, which is communicatively isolated from the merchant computing device and the business management engine. The transaction management controller inserts the transaction amount and the payment card data into a payment authorization request message, which is transmitted to a payment network.

Abstract: A parcel delivery system and method are provided. The parcel delivery system includes a parcel receptacle unit with one or more lockers that securely receives parcels from any commercial carrier and provides for users to retrieve their parcel. The parcel delivery system includes a parcel receiving system that receives a parcel identification code from multiple sources such as a confirmation delivery message, direct from user, automatically scanned codes during delivery, or manually entered codes during delivery or provided during review post-delivery.

Abstract: In economic networks, it is not currently possible to observe all flows between entities. Only a portion of relationships between firms is known publicly, and only a portion of those relationships is assigned values through reporting requirements by the regulating public institutions. Therefore, obtaining a plurality of documents that describe companies and their known connections through public sources will necessarily result in an incomplete matrix of customer-supplier relationships containing some mixture of known relationships with known values, known relationships with unknown values, and unknown relationships with unknown values. A method and system is presented to obtain a best estimate of all unknown values given the known information in the network, including an amount that is assigned to unknown entities to be discovered later.

Abstract: A system calculates for each frontage space which is held by a plurality of shelves and in which commodities are placed, a recommended capacity value of the commodity based on a predicted shipment volume from demand prediction of the commodity placed in the frontage space. The system determines exchange pairs (frontage space pairs) in each of which exchange of the commodities are performed based on a current capacity value and the recommended capacity value of each frontage space. Each exchange pair satisfies the following: The current capacity of a first frontage space is smaller than the recommended capacity, or the current capacity of a second frontage space is larger than the recommended capacity. The recommended capacity of the second frontage space satisfies the current capacity of the first frontage space. The recommended capacity of the first frontage space satisfies the current capacity of the second frontage space.
