Publication number: 20210125240Abstract: A collaborative giving system/method that coordinates the decimation and sharing of donor gifts within a cooperating group of donee recipients is disclosed. The system/method allows donee-specific donor databases to drive automated and spatially-distributed fundraising efforts for a collaborative project with donated funds being decimated and shared among collaborative donees while simultaneously guaranteeing that donor anonymity is maintained with respect to each individual donee-specific donor database. This donor/donee anonymity permits large groups of potentially diverse donors to be assembled to support collaborative projects while still maintaining donor privacy and donee autonomy. Within the context of this typical gifting application the disclosed system/method provides the necessary accounting interface and reports to ensure that the internal/external accounting/tax issues associated with the decimated gifting transaction are properly accounted for with the donor and all collaborating donees.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2020Publication date: April 29, 2021Inventor: Carl Christopher Tierney

Patent number: 9262782Abstract: A secure transaction processing system/method allowing injection and execution of credit card and ACH payment forms in a third party web page via cross domain requests is disclosed. The system/method provides a mechanism to inject and execute payment forms into a third (customer) party's website via Cross Domain Requests by providing a set of client application instructions that retrieves presentation and behavior logic and delivers it in a third party application. A browser based client application detects and manages style and behavior conflicts to render forms within in an existing third party web page. The client application then submits the forms via Cross Domain Requests to the transaction processing web server and directs the client application to a new navigation target within the third party website.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2012Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Doing Good Better, LLCInventors: Christopher Lee Coleman, Carl Christopher Tierney

Publication number: 20140089093Abstract: A contextual communication management system/method that coordinates the dissemination of information to/from a mobile communication device (MCD) and the associated mobile communication user (MCU) is disclosed. The system/method allows the state context of a given MCD and its MCU to be used to direct communications with the MCD based on a wide variety of state parameters including but not limited to current geospatial location, geospatial path, path chronology, third party geo-temporal leaseholds, etc. In some preferred embodiments this contextual communication permits targeted advertising to be “pushed” to a MCD in response to a function of the real-time geospatial location and current/past known states of the MCU. A Leasehold Management Coordinator (LMC) permits targeted bi-directional third-party interactions with the MCD based on advertising “leases” of virtual MCD geo-space/time and associated MCU state/context pools.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2013Publication date: March 27, 2014Inventor: Carl Christopher Tierney

Publication number: 20140032373Abstract: A heuristic data entry system/method that integrates data entry search procedures and new data record entry functionality is disclosed. The system/method allows the data entry operator to enter one of more fields within a dialog menu representing a customer context. As these fields are entered a background process scans a customer database using a heuristic algorithm in an attempt to match the customer context against known customer records using a variety of matching algorithms incorporating non-tautological mapping functions. Customer records matched using these imprecise matching functions are then ranked by relevance and displayed as potential candidates for selection by the operator to complete the remaining customer context. The heuristic algorithms make no assumptions as to the accuracy the data operator entry or the customer record database, thus permitting potential matches between customer context and customer data records to occur with symmetrically non-dominant data accuracy assumptions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2013Publication date: January 30, 2014Inventor: Carl Christopher Tierney

Publication number: 20130268440Abstract: A gift transaction processing system/method allowing collection and management of financial and non-financial gifts from gift donors to gift recipients using a distributed communication network is disclosed. The gift donor interacts with a graphical user interface (GUI) client to donate a gift under control of a gifting computing server (GCS). The GCS receives gift donor information and assigns an identification token to the gift donor and associates this token with the received gift donor information. The GCS then sends the token and an HTML document identifying the gift to the client along with a donation application activator. The client receives this information and displays the HTML document at which time the donor selects the donation activator and the client informs the GCS to complete the gift transaction and provide a receipt to the donor via the client.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2013Publication date: October 10, 2013Inventors: Carl Christopher Tierney, Matthew Joel Crane
