Abstract: A method to permit a visitor to a social network or like website to access commercial information and, ultimately, purchase commercial products from specific vendors without navigating from the social network website itself is provided. Such a method entails the utilization of an overarching navigation protocol through which an advertiser as well as a visitor (user) may access any social network (FACEBOOK, GOGGLE+, FOURSQUARE, TWITTER, PINTEREST, etc.) and provide, as an advertiser, commercial product offerings for review by a user, and, as a user, the capability of reviewing and purchasing such commercial products directly from the social network address. The bridge between the navigation protocol and the target social network, as well as the purchase capability method embedded within the navigation protocol are both encompassed within this invention as well. Furthermore, the utilization of such a purchasing method for any other embedded website is within the scope of the invention, too.

Abstract: A novel method of allowing secure payments from a purchaser to a seller through the utilization of a combined server platform/vault server system. Such a system entails the generation of a subscription service that allows for authentication of a consumer's credit card in terms of pre-approved identification for future transactions. Such a system initiates a tokenization procedure through transfer of credit card information to the server platform through the vault program and to issuing banks/card providers. Upon acceptance thereof, the vault server generates a token that correlates to a specific credit card of a specific user that is then stored on the server platform. Upon request from a subscribing merchant for acceptance of a tokenized card for payments, the user merely needs to provide an identifying code to access the card for such a purpose.
