Abstract: A spherical display and control device, that is preferably collapsible between a spherical configuration and a collapsed generally cylindrical ellipsoid configuration, comprising a flexible transparent spherical surface sprung attached to a central hinged modular cube assembly that contains digital displays on outward faces, and circuitry, battery units and electronic modules on inward surfaces, where said sphere surface contains surface position sensing layers and said central cube contains gyroscopic and inertial sensing devices to provide spherical rotation, and physical displacement data for three dimensional control applications, where said displays preferably have curved polarizer lenses such that the overall device appears as a spherical display or are flat to form an overall Cuboid display or are combined with a flexible spherical display surface.

Abstract: Techniques for managing electronic payment instructions include providing a first bank with access to electronic payment instructions associated with a customer account of the first bank and providing a second bank with access to electronic payment instructions associated with a customer account of the second bank. An electronic payment instruction is received over a network from the customer of the first bank, the instruction is to pay, or receive payment from, the customer of the second bank. The electronic payment instruction is stored and sent to at least one of the first bank and the second bank to initiate payment between the customer account of the first bank and the customer account of the second bank.
