  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11829964
    Abstract: The disclosed technique enables a payer who uses a payment object to pay for goods or services to specify, by using a mobile device, how the payment amount should be apportioned the payer and additional payers. In certain embodiments, the technique involves communication between a mobile payment application installed on the payer's mobile device and a remote payment service system (PSS). The payment amount is transferred from the payer to the payee. The mobile payment application enables the payer to identify additional payers and specify how the payment amount should be apportioned between the payers. The mobile payment application communicates this information to the PSS, which then executes or triggers reimbursement to the payer to carry out the specified apportionment.
