  • Patent number: 11928670
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes: receiving, via a client device, a request to process an order for value storage tokens, the request indicating at least one token provider and order parameters defining at least one denomination and a quantity of value storage tokens to be associated with the at least one denomination; establishing a communication connection with a server system associated with the at least one token provider through an application programming interface (API) for the at least one token provider; generating one or more API calls for requesting to obtain digital representations of the value storage tokens associated with the order; and receiving the digital representations of the value storage tokens associated with the order.

  • Patent number: 11842296
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a communication identifying a remote database and a first value stored in the remote database that is being transferred to a first entity by a second entity. That first value is capable of being modified by the second entity. Modification of the first value stored in the remote database by the second entity is prevented by identifying an application programming interface allowing operations to be performed on the remote database, and using that API to transfer the first value so as to be associated with one or more other identifiers unknown to the second entity. After modification of the first value stored by the second entity is prevented, a transfer of a second value to a database record associated with the second entity is triggered. Related systems and applications of the method and those systems are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20230386156
    Abstract: A computer server system comprises a communications module; a processor coupled with the communications module; and a memory coupled to the processor and storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to receive, via the communications module and from a requesting device, a signal that includes a request to send a stored-value card to a recipient, the request identifying one or more parameters of the stored-value card; generate the stored-value card and a three-dimensional object representing the stored-value card according to the one or more parameters; and send, via the communications module and to a mobile device of the recipient, a signal that includes the three-dimensional object representing the stored-value card for display in augmented reality.

  • Patent number: 11816658
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for allowing purchase of virtual gift cards includes receiving a communication indicating a gift card type and specifying a value amount. Responsive to the communication, a purchase of a virtual gift card of that type and storing that value amount is processed. This processing includes processing a payment for the specified value amount. Further, a gift card merchant application programming interface (API) capable of processing a purchase of a virtual gift card of the indicated gift card type is identified from amongst a set of such APIs. That API is used to initiate purchase of the virtual gift card. After the purchase is processed, an indication of the purchased virtual gift card is sent to a mobile computing device. The mobile computing device uses the indication to configure itself to allow transactions using the purchased virtual gift card to be initiated. Fraud detection may also be performed.
