  • Publication number: 20160300197
    Abstract: An intuitive layout of a user-interface, otherwise referred to as a GUI or digital form, within a platform for managing fund transfers. The invention provides for customers to select a transferor account and a transferee account and/or recipient and, in response to selection, be presented with display of transfer options that are specific to the transfer type and/or transfer accounts. Moreover, the transfer information that is displayed is positioned within the user-interface so as to provide the customer with a clear indication of what information needs to be inputted or otherwise selected to manage the transfer of funds. As such the present invention provides a consolidated and simplified approach to managing fund transfer requests; thus making it easy for customers to conduct and schedule fund transfers.

  • Publication number: 20160300199
    Abstract: Efficient and easy scheduling of future transfers and, specifically, recurring future transfers is provided for within a consolidated fund transfer management platform. In this regard, the platform is configured to identify transfer patterns based on a customer's historical fund transfers and the customer's current transfer request inputs, such as transferor account, transferee/transferee account, transfer amount and the like. In response to identifying the transfer pattern, the platform is configured to suggest to the customer setting-up a recurring transfer, such that future transfers indicated in the pattern will occur automatically on a recurring basis. Once the customer has selected the suggested recurring transfer option the customer is presented with applicable frequency and duration options for establishing the recurring transfer. In this regard, the platform is highly intuitive to the user, such that the user can easily configure future transfers and, specifically, future recurring transfers.

  • Publication number: 20160300198
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for use in streamlining customer finance and customer money management platforms and providing electronic financial management. An exemplary apparatus may be configured to provide access to a funds transfer management portal that interfaces with at least one database to access a customer's contact information and external account information for use in presenting contact and accounts associated with the customer. The system presents a consolidated view of both the customer's contacts and external account. Transfers are then processed using at least one of the contact information associated with the one or more contacts and the account information associated with the one or more external accounts.

  • Publication number: 20150278739
    Abstract: Examples of at least one or more of an apparatus, computer-implemented method and system are described for measuring the utilisation of a plurality of physical locations. In one example an occupancy processor is arranged to analyse one or more network connection sessions to determine a network device that is being physically accessed by a user. An interface may be communicatively coupled to the occupancy processor. The interface may be arranged to receive data indicative of a physical location of said network device, said data being derived from a mapping of data indicative of said network device to data indicative of a physical location of said network device and said mapping being based on network infrastructure data. The occupancy processor is then further arranged to determine at least one occupancy metric for a plurality of physical locations based on data received from said interface.

  • Patent number: 9104673
    Abstract: A data structure used by an operating system to refer to a filesystem object includes information that permits the structure to be associated with filesystem objects having different filesystem implementations. The data structure is associated with a filesystem object that is linked into different directories that have different filesystem implementations. Therefore, the data structure includes respective information within it about each different link. As a result, a filesystem object, such as a directory, having one filesystem implementation may be created in or moved to another directory having a different filesystem implementation; or, a file may be linked in multiple directories having different implementations.

  • Patent number: 9096304
    Abstract: A method of attaching first and second aerofoil sections to each other is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: positioning one aerofoil section in an initial assembly orientation with respect to the other aerofoil section so that hinge elements on each aerofoil section are in alignment with each other, inserting a hinge shaft through said aligned hinge elements to initially couple the aerofoil sections together whilst the aerofoil sections are in their initial assembly orientation; and rotating one aerofoil section relative to the other aerofoil section about a compound angle defined by the hinge shaft into a second orientation in which the aerofoil sections are in their final, assembled orientation relative to each other. An aerofoil assembly is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9083915
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for displaying an electronic program guide in a 3D rendered landscape. Program blocks, each having a channel and a program time, are displayed as vertical blocks within the 3D rendered landscape. Channel information blocks are also displayed, one for each distinct channel of the program blocks. The EPG may be perused by navigating within the 3D rendered landscape. Flags are provided for highlighting program blocks which satisfy a user-specified criterion, such as favorite show. Perspective within the 3D rendered landscape allows many program blocks to be displayed, with program blocks for farther channels being compressed. The flags allow a user to see that there is a program of interest in the distance, and to navigate towards the associated program block in order to obtain further details.
