Abstract: Disclosed are electronic systems and techniques for implementing an interactive financial interface that uses messages sent to and from financial institutions to view account information and interact with accounts at disparate financial institutions. The interactive financial interface can display balances of the accounts at the financial institutions, combined or individually, the interface can also show spending history, income history, and trend information which can be used to facilitate making financial decisions. Charts and graphs showing spending history and trends can also be sorted and filtered based on a number of criteria to better show relationships and patterns in the transaction history. Based on the trends and patterns, the interface can also provide recommendations to accomplish financial goals. The interface can also facilitate two-way communications with the financial institutions and instructions and commands can be sent to the financial institutions via the interface.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and techniques that communicate data from a smart card to a smart card reader component and a computer device for an online application, transaction, or service. A smart card reader component converts data from the smart card to audio data and communicates the audio data to the computer. The smart card reader component is a portable component that communicates account data, personal identification data, digital signature data and authentication data to an online application via a network.

Abstract: Providing for single sign on (SSO) registration for local or network applications in conjunction with a multimedia display device is described herein. By way of example, SSO registration can comprise creating a registration account and linking one or more local or network applications with the registration account. SSO registration can facilitate auto-filling user data requests submitted by registration servers associated with the applications, in conjunction with registering a user for content or services provided by the respective applications. User verification, where requested, can be facilitated by digital certificate or other secure communication. Once registration is completed, a user can access content provided by an application by activating a linked application at the multimedia display device, or a remote device.
