Abstract: A web based finance system allows users to refinance past eligible purchasing transactions. The system can include a system server(s) which is in communication through a network with client computing devices associated with customers. The server can receive customer information and determine a refinancing value range based upon the user has a bank account and/or credit risk rating information. The server can identify prior eligible credit card purchases for refinancing and the customer can select one or more purchases for refinancing and the refinancing loan terms.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating a value exchange transaction. A first party initiates the transaction by selecting or providing an identifier of another party and the value to be exchanged. The second party may be identified by a pre-existing identifier such as an electronic mail address, telephone number, etc. The system informs the second party of the transaction (e.g., using the specified pre-existing identifier). If the second party is not a registered user of the system, he or she is invited to register and complete the transaction. The system may comprise a synchronization server for exchanging transaction details with users' devices, a communication server for registering new users and/or conducting transactions online and a financial server for interacting with external financial institutions.

Abstract: Automatically generating people reminders for a user of a mobile device includes obtaining information for each of the people reminders, the information indicating a specific event with at least one other person, detecting proximity of the at least one other person, and, in response to the other person being proximal to the user, providing the user with a notification. In response to the at least one other person being proximal to the user, the user may also be provided with an action item. The action item may be transferring a thing, providing a financial transaction, discussing certain subjects, and/or sharing a document. The reminder may be provided independent of any date and time. The at least one other condition includes proximity to a specific location and/or a particular time of day. The at least one other individual may be a member of a target group of individuals.

Abstract: A method and system for resolving disputes between parties involved in a network-based transaction is described. One aspect of the present invention seeks to automatically facilitate the restitution of value to parties of the transaction, for example, facilitated by a network-based commerce platform or involving a network-based payment service, where a dispute has arisen with respect to the transaction.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for presenting media content. Media content items are presented in a media ticker or a client application having a graphical user interface. Each presented item is displayed at one end of the ticker and then scrolls or moves toward the other end where it is removed. A content item may be manipulated in the ticker, to obtain a larger view of the item, open an application to access (e.g., play) the item, save the item, transmit it to another user, etc. Visual content items may be represented in the ticker by thumbnails or other versions of the content; other types of content (e.g., audio, document, multimedia) items may be represented by icons indicating the type of content. Content items belong to content channels to which a user may subscribe or which other users may be invited to subscribe to.

Abstract: A system and methods are provided for depicting on-line transactions. Transactions may be represented as a connected graph with various visual and/or aural attributes indicating different statuses for various transaction parameters. Nodes may represent entities providing or receiving value, while edges represent transactions conducted between entities. The relative magnitude of value of a transaction may be represented by the thickness or pattern of an edge, while a time period during which it occurred may be indicated by color. Different types of entities may be represented by nodes of different shapes, and/or specific entities within a type may have other unique attributes (e.g., color, size). A graph may be generated by starting with an initial account, entity or transaction that meets one or more criteria (e.g., value amount, frequency of activity).
