  • Patent number: 8321339
    Abstract: A system and method for the online settling of a transaction is provided. The system includes a server configured to determine a set of curves or planes defining acceptable settlement conditions for the financial transaction, enabling the user to select an acceptable settlement condition using interactive controls or computer implemented controls engageable by the user, such as sliding selectors or rotatable dials or the like, or controls enabling placement of points on a curve or curves. In certain instances, movement or engagement of one control may result in movement or alteration of another control, reflecting interaction between the parameters being controlled as dictated by rules established on behalf of the party to the transaction. The result, once the computer implemented controls present an acceptable settlement condition for the user, is a settlement condition wherein both user and the party to the transaction resolve the transaction on jointly acceptable terms.
