Abstract: Methods and systems for performing a pre-staged financial transaction using a computing device involve, for example, receiving, using a self-service transaction terminal processor, pre-staged transaction data in a session at the self-service financial transaction terminal, which pre-staged transaction data was entered on a mobile computing device at a time preceding a time of the session. Thereafter, using the self-service transaction terminal processor, a transaction is executed, based at least in part on the pre-staged transaction data.

Abstract: A mobile device user interface typically presents a static home screen that allows a user to initiate applications so that they may view and consume content. The present disclosure provides systems and methods for providing content as well as contextual functionality more fluidly on mobile devices. A live wallpaper may be instantiated on mobile devices such that a background layer presented as part of a home screen is closely coupled to associated applications. Both the background layer and the associated applications may provide content and contextual functionality based on data and metadata received from servers external to the mobile devices, leading to a highly dynamic and engaging experience.

Abstract: A service management platform provides a manager device the ability to provision, manage, and monitor managed devices through a manager device interface to the service management platform. The service management platform allows for a manager device to configure and modify various profiles by determining one or more governing policies to be associated with respective profiles. The service management platform allows for the manager device to provision managed devices by the service management platform applying selected profiles to respective selected devices. The service management platform further allows for the manager device to monitor one or more managed devices by providing managed device usage data to the manager device, based on requests originating at the manager device.

Abstract: A mediation system for a converged network system for an xSP (i.e., any service provider of Information Technology (IT)/business services) is readily interactively configured by a user (e.g., an xSP) to correlate and aggregate usage data from a number of collection points for billing-related purposes. Usage data that includes a source record and one or more related records are matched, assembled upon satisfying assembly criteria (e.g., time-base, expression-based, volume-based), and returned in accordance with an assembly specification (e.g., one to one, one to many, many to many).

Abstract: A mediation system for converged network system for an xSP (i.e., any service provider of Information Technology (IT)/business services) is readily configured to collect revenue related transaction data (usage data) from network elements. A user is able to customize intuitively and efficiently the mediation system for their specific needs by using a Script Design Environment. In particular, a graphical environment presents scripts that receive, parse, validate, format, assemble, correlate and distribute the usage data and provide tools for modifying these scripts.

Abstract: A mediation system for converged network system for an xSP (i.e., any service provider of Information Technology (IT)/business services) is readily configured to collect revenue related transaction data (usage data) from new network elements by referencing one or more adapters. Rather than being a compiled, validated and distributed component of the mediation system, these adapters may be accessed after fielding the mediation system or created via a network element definition GUI, thereby reducing the lag time in accommodating new types of network elements.
