  • Publication number: 20080262939
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of network resources data processing, and provides an interactive method of owned-resources. The method uses a management system to record interactive information of the owned-resources, receive the first user's resources and send the resources of a first user to a second user upon verifying that the first user has received the second user's resources. The interactive system of the present invention can automatically improve the completion of the interactive process and automatically promote the flow of steps in the interactive process, and thereby improve the efficiency in data resource interaction and efficiency in electronic trading, make full use of network resources, and facilitate the operation of data resource interaction. The method helps reduce interaction costs substantially, ensure the smooth progress of resource interaction, enhance reallocation of resources, and therefore improves balanced use of the reallocated resources.

  • Publication number: 20080082434
    Abstract: A payment system includes a central account registration system to bind multiple payment platforms into an account federation to accomplish convenient and secure cross-platform payment. The central account registration system assigns a federation user ID to each federation user and stores mapping information between the user's federation user ID and the user's account in its payment platform. Upon receiving an operation request of a first user from a first payment platform, the central account registration system provides the account information of a second payment platform to the first payment platform according to a federation user ID of a second user. Payment system is then able to make a cross-platform payment between the first payment platform and the second payment platform based on the account information provided by the central account registration system. A method of making payment using the payment system is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20070282963
    Abstract: Methods and systems for instant messaging using a browser to eliminate the requirement of installation of instant messaging software at the user end is described. When a source user sends an instant message to a target user, the source server (the server which the source user is logged in) searches the information of the target server (the server which the target user is currently logged in) with the help of an instant messaging status server, and sends the instant message to the target server according to the search result. The target server then relays the instant message to the target user. The target server may also send a reply message to the source server, which in turn transmits the reply message to the source user. Preferably, at least one of users uses a browser and not an instant messaging client software.

  • Publication number: 20070276688
    Abstract: Interactive resource competition ranks resource users using coefficients of performance (CoP). Resource users compete for a target resource and each offer a quantifiable reciprocal resource in exchange for using the target resource. A trigger frequency of a predetermined action with respect to the target resource is recorded, and the CoP based on the respective reciprocal resource value and the trigger frequency is determined. The target resource is then allocated based on the ranking of the CoP's. An intermediate and credit fund account is used for both making payments and recording the trigger frequency. The competition is particularly useful for allocating an information display position in online electronic marketing.

  • Publication number: 20070240206
    Abstract: Techniques for intersystem Single Sign-On use intersystem user ID mapping to map user IDs of multiple systems. In one implementation, a method obtains a user's ID information associated with a first system, and obtains the user's ID information associated with a second system from the user's ID information associated with the first system according to the intersystem user ID mapping table. The first system sends the user's ID information associated with the second system to the second system, which may allow the user to automatically log on upon successful user ID verification. The user ID information communicated between the systems may be encrypted and decrypted using digital signature techniques. Systems for accomplishing the method are also provided.
