| 20100223185 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING SUPPLEMENTAL TRANSACTION PROCESSING SERVICES TO USERS OF A PRIMARY FINANCIAL SERVICES SYSTEM. - A supplemental financial transaction processing system operates with a primary financial services system to providing financial transaction processing services to a client system which has established a secure session with the primary financial services system. A transaction request includes a financial institution identifier identifying the primary financial services system and at least one primary system defined transaction value. A secure web services system, in response to receiving the transaction request: i) assigns a unique redirect URL to the transaction request, ii) stores, in a redirect database, in association with the unique redirect URL, the primary system defined transaction value; and iii) returns the unique redirect URL to the primary financial services system. A web document object comprises: i) the at least one primary system defined transaction value; ii) at least validation value; iii) user interface control script, the user interface control script comprising instructions which render, on the client system, controls for obtaining user entry of at least one client defined transaction value; and iv) validation control script, the validation control script determining that the transaction is valid; and v) transaction control script, the transaction control script comprising instructions which create and post a financial transaction back to the supplemental transaction server only if the transaction is valid. The supplemental transaction server: i) providing the web document object to the client system in response to receiving a secure connection by the client system at the unique redirect URL; ii) receiving a post of the financial transaction from the client system; and iii) performing at least one of: i) writing the financial transaction to a transaction database; or ii) forwarding the financial transaction to a processing system distinct from the supplemental transaction processing system. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20090293107 | Transfer server of a secure system for unattended remote file and message transfer - A method for automatically transferring a data file from a network drive of a client controlled local area network to a transfer server over the Internet comprises using a first workstation to configure event parameters within event tables of the transfer server. An unattended interface module executed by a processor of a second workstation obtains, from the transfer server, the event parameters stored in the event tables. The event parameters comprise a file name and a directory path. The file name identifies the data file to be uploaded. The directory path identifies an upload directory of the network drive. The second workstation periodically searches the upload directory and, upon locating a data file in the upload directory with the file name, transfers the data file to the transfer server over a secure connection established with the transfer server over the internet. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20090150287 | System and method for providing supplemental transaction processing services to users of a primary financial services system - A supplemental financial transaction processing system operates in conjunction with one or more primary financial services systems for purposes of providing supplemental financial transaction processing services to users of the primary financial services system. The supplemental financial transaction processing system comprises a secure web services system and a supplemental transaction server. The secure web services system comprises at least one financial transaction method available to the primary financial services system. Upon receipt of a method call for a financial transaction, the supplemental financial transaction processing system: i) associates a unique redirect URL to the method call; and ii) returns the unique redirect URL to the primary financial services system. The primary financial services system may then pass the unique redirect URL through a secure connection with its client. The supplemental transaction server, upon a client requesting an HTTPS connection to the unique redirect URL, verifies the validity of the unique redirect URL. If valid, a web document object is provided for rendering by the client. The web document object comprises: i) the financial institution defined transaction values (at least one); ii) user interface control script for rendering of controls for obtaining user entry of at least one client defined transaction value; and iii) transaction control script. The transaction control script comprises instructions for i) creating a financial transaction; ii) validating the financial transaction; and iii) posting the validated transaction back to the supplemental financial transaction server. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20080270293 | Accounts payable automation system with automated discount and factoring management - An accounts payable automation server system with integrated discount and factoring management, the system comprises an invoice loader receiving invoice data. The invoice data includes at least a vendor element and an amount payable element. The vendor element identifies a vendor and the amount payable element identifies consideration payable by the customer to the vendor. Customer user access workflows present, to a customer system, the invoice data. Finance company user access workflows: i) present, to a finance system, the vendor element and the amount payable element; and ii) receive, from the finance system, an offer of early payment in exchange for a discount of the consideration payable. Vendor user access workflows: i) present, to the vendor system, the offer of early payment in exchange for a discount of the consideration payable; and ii) receive an acceptance of the offer from the vendor system. The finance company user access workflows further, upon acceptance of the offer, present, to the finance system, an indication of the acceptance of the offer. Further, upon payment of a discounted amount from the finance company to the vendor, a direction to transfer payment of the consideration to the finance company is recorded. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080252924 | System and method for transferring invoice data output of a print job source to an automated data processing system - A data capture system receives a sequence of output document objects and, for each output document object, writes output data values to an output data structure. The system includes a data storage, a first tier data extraction system and at least a second tier data extraction system. The first tier data extraction system is adapted to receive each output document object. Each output document object may be in a print language format comprising a plurality of print elements. For each required invoice data element, the first tier data extraction system obtains identification of a positional element value from a positional data set that includes, as its invoice data element, identification of the required invoice data element; and, if the output document object includes a qualifying text string, writes an output data value to the output data structure in association with identification of the required invoice data element. If the output document object does not include a qualifying text string, the first tier data extraction system identifies the output document object for tier two processing. The second tier data extraction system receives each output document identified for tier two processing, performs character recognition on a graphical representation thereof and, for each required invoice data element, writes an output data value to the output data structure in association with identification of the required invoice data element. | 10-16-2008 |
