  • Publication number: 20200193433
    Abstract: A system for securely processing verification data and a method of securely processing verification data by a mobile device are provided. The system includes a mobile device including an NFC reader capable of generating an NFC field, and a verification device associated with the mobile device and responsive to the NFC field. A secure NFC channel is established between the mobile device and the verification device. The verification device is configured to receive input from a user and transmit verification data to the mobile device via the secure NFC channel. The verification data includes the input from the user. The NFC reader of the mobile device is further configured to receive the verification data and directly communicate the verification data to a secure component of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 7849130
    Abstract: An infrastructure for on-demand service delivery receiving a request for a service to be performed from a service consumer with an information payload; decomposing requested service into essential or primitive functions; dynamically composing a sequence of a plurality of service elements corresponding to the essential or primitive functions to accomplish the service by employing a function call and return decomposition and recomposition paradigm; creating a control header and information payload, the control header encapsulating the sequence; repeatedly dispatching the control header to each service element in the sequence until all service elements have processed the information payload; and returning the processed information payload to the service consumer.

  • Patent number: 7337196
    Abstract: A method and implementing computer system are provided in which a unique primary key is generated to identify an original message which is received for processing. The record for the original message is stored at the primary key. As the message is propagated to the services that are to be performed on the original message, the primary key is also passed to the service. Derivative messages which are produced as a result of the services applied to the original message are identified with the primary key code along with additional derivative key codes related to services applied to the original message. The resulting derivative message storing and tracking process provides a means by which derivative messages are readily identified and associated with an original message as well as the services performed upon the original message in generating the derivative message.

  • Patent number: 6912551
    Abstract: A system and method for binding processes in an e-commerce HUB are present. The e-commerce HUB manages transaction processes between trading partners by tracking document exchange instances and translating documents and business processes as needed. The e-commerce HUB supports multiple connection methods and provides an open forum for small businesses to become trading partners with large businesses without supporting multiple business processes. The e-commerce HUB may allow or restrict e-commerce transactions with other members based on permissions associated with member profiles.

  • Patent number: 6910042
    Abstract: A system and method for partial ordering service capabilities in an e-marketplace hub is presented. A recipient trading partner sets receive message constraints and a sending trading partner specifies sending message capabilities. The e-marketplace hub compares the receive message constraints with the sending message capabilities. If the sending message capabilities are a subset of the receive message constraints, the e-marketplace hub establishes a trading partner link between the sending trading partner and the recipient trading partner so the sending trading partner may send messages to the recipient trading partner. The e-marketplace hub may recursively compare sending message capabilities with receive message constraints at various levels to ensure a valid trading partner link.

  • Publication number: 20040221005
    Abstract: An infrastructure for on-demand service delivery utilizing a dispatcher component driving service elements that are unaware of each other. The composition of service elements is developed using a rules-based data store. Upon receipt of a service request, it is decomposed and recomposed into a sequence of functions to be performed by various service elements. A control data structure is repeatedly dispatched by a hub to each service element in the sequence, with each service element returning the control data structure to the hub for subsequent dispatch to a next service element. After all functions have been performed, a processed data structure is returned to the requesting client. A method for registering and deregistering service elements with the hub is also provided.
