Abstract: Methods and server systems for computing fraud risk scores for various merchants associated with an acquirer described herein. The method performed by a server system includes accessing merchant-related transaction data including merchant-related transaction indicators associated with a merchant from a transaction database. Method includes generating a merchant-related transaction features based on the merchant-related indicators. Method includes generating via risk prediction models, for a payment transaction with the merchant, merchant health and compliance risk scores, merchant terminal risk scores, merchant chargeback risk scores, and merchant activity risk scores based on the merchant-related transaction features. Method includes facilitating transmission of a notification message to an acquirer server associated with the merchant.

Abstract: Example techniques for execution of functions by clusters of computing nodes are described. In an example, if a cluster does not have resources available for executing a function for handling a service request, the cluster may request another cluster for executing the function. A result of execution of the function may be received by the cluster and used for handling the service request.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus provide efficient and complex database functionality for an electronic device, e.g. a mobile device. These mechanisms and methods for providing efficient and complex database functionality to an electronic device can enable embodiments to provide quick access to certain data using a local application and seamless access within the local application to other data and complex presentation formats that are supplied by a server. The ability of embodiments to provide this hybrid functionality can enable users of the electronic devices to be more productive.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for implementing wireless service for a wireless device. In a representative embodiment, a service initiation system is executed in a computing device that communicates with a service provider system over a network to activate a wireless service associated with a newly purchased wireless device. The service initiation system also generates a network page to send to a client over the network, where the network page has a component that initiates a porting of a contact designation associated with a prior wireless device to the newly purchased wireless device separate from the activation of the wireless service for the newly purchased wireless device.

Abstract: A mobile device test framework is used in combination with client controllers and device controllers so that a single mobile device API test can be used with mobile devices having different operating system platforms. The client controllers can provide information specific to the client and the device controllers can provide information needed to apply the test to each of the mobile device platforms. The test framework can navigate through the controls of the mobile device GUIs and input information. The test framework can then check that the text and images displayed by the mobile devices match the expected information.

Abstract: A system for inventory scanning includes scanning devices for scanning information representing inventory items to produce input data for uploading to an inventory management system over a radio-access network, such as a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wireless network. A scanner adapter, such as a web service adapter, is coupled to the inventory management system for transferring the input data from the scanning devices to the inventory management system. The adapter also receives control information from the inventory management system for delivery to the scanning devices. The control information is transferred to the scanning devices to manage inventory operations performed by the scanning devices, for example, operations that may be performed by and/or data that may be accessed by an identified individual user.

Abstract: A framework for data change notification includes a notification queue storing event notifications. Client applications can request event information regarding various data change events. For example, a client application can subscribe, via one or more APIs, to receive event information. The framework allows for session specific event notification mechanisms as well as durable event notification mechanisms that can be preserved across client sessions as well as server restarts. Innovative aspects of this invention include guaranteed delivery of event notifications, APIs to allow applications get summary of past events on the subscribed objects, automatic garbage collection/cleanup of notifications when a client session terminates.

Abstract: The subject invention provides a system and/or a method that facilitates tracking a data change to an entity within a data storage system at an entity level and at a sub-entity level. The data storage system can be a database-based file system, wherein an interface can receive at least one data change to an entity within the data storage system that in part represents complex instances of types. A track component can track additional data change information of one or more sub-entity levels of the entity when the entity participates in a synchronization (sync) relationship.

Abstract: A test library for use with a database storage system such as WinFS provides users with a WinFS schema agnostic way to test the WinFS store application programming interfaces (APIs) and to use the WinFS store APIs to populate the WinFS store with randomly generated data. The WinFS test library provides users with an object layer that they can program against to carry out multiple tasks on the WinFS store. Tests can use the WinFS test library to generate schema-agnostic tests that do not break if a schema is changed or removed. For instance, a user can create a WinFS schema and install it in a WinFS store. The WinFS test library will automatically validate that the schema and all of its declared types are properly installed in the store. It will also generate instances of each type, set randomly generated values for every property including nested types, call the store API to create them in the store, and then select values from the store and validate that they were set property.
