    Abstract: Provided are a system, method, and computer program product for an account-to-account (A2A) transaction network. The system includes a processor configured to initiate a transaction request via a merchant interface accessed on a client device. The processor is configured to transmit the transaction request to an A2A management system via the merchant interface. The processor is configured to receive an issuer uniform resource locator (URL) and an intent identifier from the A2A management system. The processor is configured to access, via the issuer URL, a payment interface on the client device. The processor is configured to transmit, via the payment interface, the intent identifier and user authentication data to the issuer system. The processor is configured to, after receiving transaction data from the issuer system, transmit, via the payment interface, confirmation to cause the issuer system to transmit an authenticated consent identifier to the A2A management system.

  • Patent number: 9723244
    Abstract: An LED driver IC for driving external strings of LEDs includes a prefix register and a data register connected in series with each other and with the prefix and data registers in other driver ICs. The prefix and data registers of the driver ICs are connected in a daisy chain arrangement with an interface IC. The interface IC loads data identifying a functional latch into the prefix register and data defining a functional condition into the data register of each driver IC. The data in the data register is then transferred to the functional latch to control the functional condition within the LED driver IC.

  • Patent number: 9609708
    Abstract: A distributed system for driving strings of series-connected LEDs for backlighting, display and lighting applications that includes multiple intelligent satellite LED driver ICs connected to an interface IC via a serial lighting interface bus. The interface IC translates information obtained from a host microcontroller into instructions for the satellite LED driver ICs pertaining to such parameters as duty factor, current levels, phase delay and fault settings. Fault conditions in the LED driver ICs can be transmitted back to the interface IC. An analog current sense feedback system which also links the LED driver ICs determines the supply voltage for the LED strings.
