  • Patent number: 11023886
    Abstract: The UNIVERSAL ELECTRONIC PAYMENT APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“UEP”) transform touchscreen inputs into a virtual wallet mobile application interface via UEP components into purchase transaction triggers and receipt notices. In one implementation the UEP provides, via a user device, a product information search request; and obtains, in response to the product information search request, information on a first product for sale by a first merchant and a second product for sale by a second merchant. The UEP generates a single purchase transaction request, using the information on the first product for sale by the first merchant and the second product for sale by the second merchant. The UEP provides, via the user device, the single purchase transaction request for payment processing. Also, the UEP obtains an electronic purchase receipt for the first product for sale by the first merchant and the second product for sale by the second merchant.

  • Publication number: 20150046241
    Abstract: The UNIVERSAL VALUE EXCHANGE MULTIPOINT TRANSACTIONS APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“UVEMT”) transform cross-ecosystem currency exchange instructions via UVEMT components into cross-ecosystem currency exchanges. In one embodiment, the UVEMT may obtain a cross-ecosystem currency exchange instruction and determine one or more sources and destinations based on parsing the cross-ecosystem currency exchange instruction. The UVEMT may identify currency types associated with the sources and the destinations and determine exchange rates of the currency types relative to a standard currency. In one implementation, the UVEMT may obtain currency exchange restrictions and conditions associated with the sources and the destinations and generate a currency exchange flow path for currency transfer from the sources to the destinations.

  • Publication number: 20150039656
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an enterprise address management system. In the enterprise address management system, addresses are imported and consolidated from external sources and stored in a database. The addresses are continuously updated from the same or different external sources while a history for each address is maintained to allow for retrieval and use of previous information. The history of each address is updated as a corresponding address transitions through an address life cycle as defined by a subscriber. The address life cycle typically is represented by a state model. In some embodiments, the enterprise address management system allows each subscriber to define and configure its own address life cycle state model and to control the flow of addresses through that life cycle.
