  • Patent number: 11329666
    Abstract: A method of transforming a data file, the method executed by a processor. The method includes segmenting the data file into data segments and creating a bit index for each data segment having a size that is based on a configurable or preset data group unit. The method then involves indexing each data segment into its corresponding bit index by reading all data group unit values within the data segment and updating the bit index based on the read values, and generating an output data file or files comprising the bit indexes that represent the original data file.

  • Publication number: 20220122064
    Abstract: A system and method are described for a COIN-based payment event data management system. The COIN can provide a consolidated source of accounting for all parties to a transaction by providing for multi-directional translation, resolution, accounting and other functions. A COIN server can interface with buyers and sellers, requestors and debtors, and other parties. The COIN server can communicate with different API's of various parties. Functionality can include means of analyzing payment and transaction behavior.

  • Patent number: 11270301
    Abstract: A system for combining a payment mechanism with an offer to a consumer is described. The system includes a virtual payment account number generation engine to generate virtual payment account numbers that can be used by a consumer in a payment transaction at a merchant, the virtual payment account number generation service also operable to take a portion of the virtual payment account number and send it as a checkout code to a consumer using the consumer's mobile device, and an offer generation engine used to set rules for an offer to be sent to consumers, create a fund for the offer, and determine individual consumer's eligibility for the offer. The offer is associated with the checkout code such that the offer is processed as part of the payment during the payment transaction using the virtual payment account number.

  • Publication number: 20220027881
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for incorporating electronic benefit transfer (EBT) systems into a secure, mobile, and electronic payment processing system. Existing EBT systems capture data regarding a purchase. This record keeping functionality can be harnessed to provide retailers and marketers with data regarding marketing efforts, coupon use, and more. A mobile device can be used to interact with a presence detection system. Coupons or payment information can be received at a mobile device, and payments can be carried out between a mobile device and a points of sale (POS).

  • Patent number: 10990318
    Abstract: A method of receiving data segments of a data file on a user electronic device from a remote data source or sources over a data network. The data file being requested by or being pushed to an intended recipient application program executing on the user electronic device. The method includes receiving incoming data segments from the remote device over the data network and maintaining a memory buffer in memory of the user electronic device comprising one or more memory blocks. A status indicator for each memory block in the memory buffer is maintained that is indicative of the status of the memory block and the incoming data segments are allocated to specific memory blocks for storage in the memory buffer based at least partly on their respective status indicator. The stored data segments from the memory buffer are then provided to the recipient application program on the user electronic device for use or playback for example.

  • Publication number: 20200153942
    Abstract: In one form the invention provides a method of modifying a data file for transmission over a data network. The method comprises the steps of receiving the original data file and creating a header file, the header file including the length in bytes of the original data file. At least one repetition byte sequence is identified within the original data file, the repetition byte sequence comprising a byte value that is repeated consecutively within the repetition byte sequence. A modified data file is created by replacing the repetition byte sequence with a repetition marker, the repeated byte value, and a repeat frequency value representing the number of times the repeated byte value occurs within the repetition byte sequence. The repetition marker is added to the header file. The invention further provides a method of transmitting a data file to a remote device over a data network.
