Patent number: 11036706Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for performing transparent object migration across storage tiers. In an embodiment and by way of example, a method for appending data to large data volumes is provided. The method embodiment includes a) setting a CustomEntityOption bit that determines (at object creation time) where the object is stored, either in the relational or the non-relational data store portion, b) loading the CustomEntityOption bit in a cached CustomEntityDefinition, c) showing the CustomEntityOption bit as EntityInfo, and d) allowing custom object definition and Metadata API functionality when the bit is shown.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2017Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: James Taylor, Bill C. Eidson, Kevin Oliver

Publication number: 20200320532Abstract: A distributed enhanced payment processing system includes a merchant point of sale (POS) terminal system and a remote payment management system. The POS terminal system initiates a transaction that includes receiving a payment amount, a purchaser account identifier, a virtual electronic payment indicator, and a merchant ID via a payment client. Subsequently, the POS terminal system outputs the transaction to the remote payment management system which generates a token for the transaction. The payment management system then provides the purchaser account identifier, a merchant account identifier, and the payment amount to a remote virtual electronic payment (VEP) entity system. Upon receiving a VEP entity system response, the payment management system outputs the response and token to the POS terminal system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2020Publication date: October 8, 2020Inventors: Matthew D. OZVAT, Michelle K. PLOMSKE, Charles E. WATTS, Robert BONESTELL, Daniel J. OURADA, Kevin OLIVER

Publication number: 20190378106Abstract: Systems and methods for payment processing on devices are provided. Such systems and methods enable payment processing to be completed with a peripheral device (such as a magnetic card reader) and a point of sales system, without the need for extensive developer integration. The system receives a payment charge amount from a point of sales system. The system also detects (or dynamically populates) peripheral devices that are used to capture account information. The peripheral device is a supported device type with an associated library, which includes data for properly interfacing with the peripheral device. The system provides the captured account data, a merchant ID and the amount of the charge to a payment management system. The system likewise receives a response (approve or decline) from the payment management system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2019Publication date: December 12, 2019Inventors: Robert BONESTELL, Kevin OLIVER, Matthew D.

Publication number: 20190333053Abstract: An expedited automated merchant boarding system in association with a distributed enhanced payment processing system includes a merchant point of sale (POS) terminal system and a remote enhanced payment management system (EPMS). The remote EPMS pre-boards anticipated POS terminal system components and records pre-boarding results information. The POS terminal system initiates merchant boarding by transmitting merchant account information. The remote EPMS receives merchant account information and establishes a merchant account. The POS terminal system utilizes protocol transactions including auto-boarding information to initiate auto-boarding with the remote EPMS. The remote EPMS auto-boards the POS terminal system utilizing received auto-boarding information and recorded pre-boarding results. The remote EPMS turns up selected payment management services for the merchant POS terminal system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2019Publication date: October 31, 2019Inventors: Matthew D.

Patent number: 10410013Abstract: In embodiments, methods and systems for controlling access to custom objects are provided. These techniques for controlling access to custom objects can enable embodiments to utilize a key for the protection of the security of data that is to remain private while not compromising efficiency of a query. The key for a requested custom object is identified and then used so that only an appropriate portion of a custom entity share table is searched to locate access information. It is then determined whether the user can access at least a portion of the custom object, and the appropriate and allowed data is sent to the user.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2016Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Craig Weissman, Kevin Oliver, Benji Jasik, Kedar Doshi

Publication number: 20190272545Abstract: Cost altering payment services (“CAPS”) system in association with a distributed enhanced payment (“DEP”) processing system includes a merchant point of sale (“POS”) terminal system and a remote enhanced payment management system (“EPMS”). The remote EPMS receives payment transactions including additional risk mitigating payment transaction (“RMPT”) information and based on that additional RMPT information provides altered transaction costs. The remote EPMS provides facilities for the merchant to review and revise payment management services so as to utilize additional RMPT information received from the merchant POS terminal system so as to alter transaction costs. Such facilities provide information to determine the relative potential transaction cost benefits of various payment management service sets utilizing cost profiles that represent the costs of archival, recorded and projected future transactions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2019Publication date: September 5, 2019Inventors: Matthew D.

Publication number: 20190218090Abstract: A remote fueling station for an above ground fuel storage tank has a fuel pump for dispensing a pressurize flow of fuel from the fuel tank to a dispenser nozzle. A lockable enclosure is supported on the fuel tank in fixed relation thereto by a threaded connection at an intermediate location along a rigid supply pipe connected between the fuel pump and the fuel tank. The enclosure includes a fuel pump compartment receiving the fuel pump therein and a battery compartment for receiving a battery of the fuel pump therein which is separate from the fuel pump compartment so that the battery is isolated from the fuel pump. A dispenser nozzle and an activation switch of the fuel pump can also be received within the enclosure so as to restrict access thereto by unauthorized persons. A solar panel is supported above the enclosure for recharging the battery.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2019Publication date: July 18, 2019Inventor: Kyle Kevin Oliver Wiebe
