Publication number: 20230077411Abstract: An encrypted payment message is received from a buyer relating to a transaction with a merchant. The payment message is parsed using a first parsing algorithm to obtain merchant identifying information. The merchant identifying information is associated with at least a second parsing algorithm or at least one settlement algorithm. The payment message is parsed using the second parsing algorithm to obtain payment information for the transaction. A first settlement algorithm is applied to the payment information to determine an adjusted interchange rate. The payment information including the adjusted interchange rate is submitted to a third party settlement processor on behalf of the merchant, using a payment algorithm. A second settlement algorithm applied to the payment information determines a buyer rebate which can be submitted to the settlement processor. A transaction result is reported to at least one of the merchant or the buyer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: Boost Payment Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Dean Michael Leavitt, James Edward Lister

Publication number: 20230077415Abstract: A network node obtains a message to be transmitted as a public warning system notification to multiple UEs, via one or more SIBs, and obtains area information corresponding to the message. The area information indicates an area for which the message is relevant. The network node determines how many SIBs are needed for transmitting the area information and segments the message into a plurality of segments, based on how many SIBs are needed for transmitting the area information. The network node transmits the message and the area information via SIBs, such that a segment of the message is included in each SIB and such that each portion of the area information included in a SIB is accompanied by a segment of the message. A UE receives the SIBs and assembles the message and area information, displaying the message if it is relevant.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Mattias Bergström, Stephen R.

Publication number: 20230077420Abstract: Two receivers located within a region of interest that is sufficiently small as compared to a distance to a source of a signal can be considered a “point”. Signals received at that “point” are planar. Accordingly, any difference in the time of arrival of a signal from the source by one receiver as compared to another receiver located within that region stablishes a locus of points representing a distance between the receivers perpendicular to the vector pointing to the source. Using signals from multiple far sources multiple loci on which one receiver must exist as compared to the other receiver can be identified. The convergence of these loci identifies a relative position of one receiver from the other, and when the geospatial position of one receiver is known, so too is the position of the other receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: PARSONS CORPORATIONInventors: Martin C.
