20130238436 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DATA RECIPIENT STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL OF DATA USING A NETWORK COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A system and method for data recipient invoked electronic commerce allowing data subjects to provide information over a network and data recipients to receive such information relating to the needs of a data subject such as purchases, distribution of application information and the like. The system includes a server having software which gathers the information from a data subject to complete a transaction over a network. The system has a data subject data structure that stores information for registered data subjects. The software is able to access the data subject data structure and enter the data subject's information during subsequent transactions. Having the software obtain and enter the data subject's purchasing information, the data subject does not have to enter the same information every time the data subject desires to effect a transaction over the network. In alternate embodiments, the same technology can be applied to other arenas where a user may have to enter the same repetitive information. | 09-12-2013 |
20130046629 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL OF INFORMATION SUBJECT TO AUTHORIZATION BY A DATA CONTROLLER - A system and method for storage and retrieval of information subject to authorization by a data controller that allows information for purchasing and other information exchange to occur only for authorized parties. A data subject place information about the data subject into a data repository controlled by a data controller. The data controller authorizes a data recipient to obtain that data subject data when authorized by a data subject. Such transactions as purchases of goods and services and applying for college admission are the types of transactions contemplated. The data repository places client software on the computer of the data recipient thereby signifying that the data recipient is authorized. Thereafter, the data recipient can receive information about the data subject when the data subject accepts and offer from the data recipient. | 02-21-2013 |
20130013456 | E-MAIL INVOKED ELECTRONIC COMMERCE - A system and method for electronic commerce allowing consumers to purchase items over a network and merchants to receive payment information relating to the purchases. The system includes a server configured to gather purchasing information from a consumer to complete a purchasing transaction. The system has a consumer data structure that stores purchasing information for registered consumers. The server is able to access the consumer data structure and enter the consumer's purchasing information during subsequent purchases such that the consumer does not have to enter the same information every time they purchase an item over the network. In alternate embodiments, the same technology can be applied to other arenas where a user may have to enter the same repetitive information. In addition, consumers can register with the consumer information server prior to making purchase. | 01-10-2013 |
