  • Patent number: 11947465
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include receiving, at an operating system executing on a processor, a write request from a program to write data to a memory. The write request includes a virtual memory address and the data. It is determined that the virtual memory address is not assigned to a physical memory address. Based on the determining, the unassigned virtual memory address is assigned to a physical memory address in an overflow memory. The data is written to the physical memory address in the overflow memory and an indication that the write data was successfully written is returned to the program. Future requests by the program to access the virtual memory address are directed to the physical memory address in the overflow memory.

  • Publication number: 20230222477
    Abstract: The invention teaches an innovative way for users to transfer funds or crypto currency using proximal peer to peer funds transfer methodology wherein one user with a dynamic IOT smart device enabled with a proximal peer to peer funds transfer software can to transfer funds based on proximity to another user with a dynamic IOT smart device enabled with a proximal peer to peer funds transfer software. These funds transferred from one dynamic IOT smart device enabled with a proximal peer to peer funds transfer software to another may be encrypted and processed through the internet/payment gateway or may be encrypted within the proximal peer to peer funds transfer software to be processed at a later time when an alternate connection to the internet/payment gateway may be established.

  • Publication number: 20220076238
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is taught wherein a light smartcard may be utilized to make transactions so that a user only has to carry one card and not be encumbered with the multiple cards that now have to deal with. This is accomplished with a third party API service provider. This could also be thought of your own personal cloud that carries only your cards and only your information including virtual currencies as well. Now you only have to carry one and one card only. You can spend from any of your other accounts through this one card.
