  • Patent number: 11436208
    Abstract: A computer system may create version records in a versioned database that stores data from transaction documents. Each version record may include a timestamp that represents a time from which the data stored in the version record is valid. The timestamp may represent the time of creation of particular version of the transaction document. The version records may be accessed to perform a valuation for a specified time.

  • Patent number: 11036763
    Abstract: In one general aspect, a method and system are described for providing a flexible data hierarchy. The method may include obtaining a plurality of data sets, the plurality of data sets including system-defined attributes and user-defined attributes, generating, for each attribute in each data set, a field for receiving input, providing, in a user interface display, at least one data set of the plurality of data sets and the generated field for each attribute in the at least one data set, receiving, in two or more of the generated fields, a value indicating a sequence placement for a respective attribute associated with a respective field of the two or more generated fields, and automatically generating, for the attributes associated with the two or more fields having a value, at least one hierarchical structure according to the sequence placement.

  • Publication number: 20180329963
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for an embedded analytics and transactional data processing system. An embodiment operates by receiving selection of a filter that indicates a subset of transactional data from a database to be displayed via an interface. Analytical data associated with the subset of transactional data is determined. Via the interface, the filter selection, the analytical data, and the subset of transactional data are all provided.

  • Publication number: 20150073964
    Abstract: In an example embodiment a market data management system allows users to track information regarding commodities. A representative market data management system comprises physical commodity objects including a plurality of fields that describe a real world commodity, market identifier objects including market identifier codes, and contract specification objects including a plurality of fields that describe a derivative contract specification for a particular commodity traded at a particular commodity market. In the data model, a one to many relationship may exist for a physical commodity object and contract specification objects (e.g., a given commodity may be traded according to different derivative contract specifications). The data model may also allow a many to many relationship between contract specification objects and market identifier objects (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20150046309
    Abstract: A system receives a commodity identification, a curve type, and a curve category. The system also receives an interpolation identification, an extrapolation identification, a read procedure, and a maximum number of days for a readback. The system further receives contract data, the contract data including a market identifier code, a derivative contract specification (DCS) identification, and a price type. The system uses the contract data to generate a commodity curve based on DCS, and displays the commodity curve based on DCS on an electronic display unit.

  • Patent number: 8036962
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for determining payers of cost events in a billing environment. A biller may provide billable services or goods for its customers. At least one participant may be involved in rendering the services or goods, or a service or good related thereto. The payer for each invoice may be determined depending on one or more factors, such as the type of service or good provided and/or the relationships between the involved participant. Additional features may be provided, such as issuing an invoice to the identified payer to request payment.

  • Patent number: 7587364
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automated payment handling. In one implementation, a method is provided for processing of a payment request. The method may include determining, using the payment request, an entity that will receive a payment, and determining an outgoing bank account to use for the payment. Further, the method may include automatically selecting, from a list of available payment procedures, a preferred payment procedure for the payment request, the preferred payment procedure indicating a payment form code and a connection with the entity. Moreover, the method may include validating the preferred payment procedure using a set of rules and paying, to the entity, the payment using the validated payment procedure.
