  • Patent number: 11593257
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for validating customer use of application programing interfaces (APIs). An exemplary computer-implemented method includes, in response to a request from a customer computing device for use of an API hosted by an API computing device, selecting a test case specific to the API for a test project and transmitting the test project to the customer computing device for execution by the customer computing device. The method also includes monitoring data payloads between the API computing device and the customer computing device and compiling and transmitting a report indicative of a result of the test case based on the monitored data payloads, where the report is indicative of whether the monitored data payloads are compliant with a standard associated with the API, thereby indicating certification of the customer's use of the API to provide at least one service associated with the API, or not.

  • Publication number: 20230058572
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for providing virtual and remote access to virtual content in a virtual safebox. A computer system includes a virtual vault database for storing a plurality of virtual safeboxes storing digital/virtual content provided by a user. The stored content includes image content representing personal identification documents of the user. The computing device includes at least one processor configured to receive an access request message from a first safebox access computing device and, in response retrieve, from the virtual vault database, the first virtual safebox. The processor is further configured to generate an inventory list identifying each content item and transmit an inventory message to the first safebox access computing device. The processor is further configured to receive a content retrieval message from the first safebox access computing device and transmit a content message to the first safebox access computing device.

  • Patent number: 11042475
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for validating customer use of application programming interfaces (APIs). An exemplary method includes selecting an API defining at least one service to be used by a customer and a standard associated with the API for data payloads directed to the API, and identifying the customer. The method also includes selecting at least one test case for the API and the customer, bundling the test case(s) into a test project for the customer, and transmitting the test project to the customer whereby the customer is able to execute the test project. The method further includes monitoring data payloads between the API and the customer and compiling a report indicative of a result of the test case(s) where the report indicates whether the data payloads are compliant with the standard associated with the API and whether the customer is certified to use the API, or not.

  • Publication number: 20190205855
    Abstract: A point-of-sale system for processing a payment transaction includes a first point-of-sale device having a memory device and a first processor coupled to the memory device. The first processor is programmed to receive transaction card information including a primary account number relating to a payment account of a cardholder. The first processor is also programmed to transmit a payment authorization request message. Furthermore, the first processor is programmed to present to the cardholder a transaction identifier for the payment transaction, and store transaction data associated with the payment transaction in the memory device. The system also includes a second point-of-sale device having a second processor programmed to receive the transaction identifier for the payment transaction, retrieve the transaction data associated with the transaction identifier from the memory, and transmit an authorization advice message.
