20080263069 | User Association of a Computing Application with a Contact in a Contact List - Methods and systems may be provided for user association of a computing application with a contact in a contact list. A view of one or more contacts of the user may be transmitted to a user, the view included a first contact. A request may be received from the user to associate an application with the first contact. A revised view may be transmitted to the user responsive to the received request, the revised view including a user-selectable mechanism for invoking the application on the first contact. The user may be redirected to a user interface of the application subsequent to the user selecting the user-selectable mechanism associated with the contact in the revised view, and the redirection may include transmission of information associated with the user and information associated with the first contact. | 10-23-2008 |
20130103577 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS - Systems, methods and computer-readable media for optimizing financial transactions are disclosed. Candidate source and target financial accounts may be respectively identified based on source and target identifiers. Respective candidate source payment networks configured to access each candidate source financial account and respective candidate target payment networks configured to access each candidate target financial account may be identified. Based at least in part on an analysis of one or more rules, a set of transaction options may be generated. Each transaction option may be associated with a particular combination of source and target financial accounts and payment networks and may further be associated with one or more transaction characteristics. Respective transaction options information associated with one or more of the transaction options may be transmitted and potentially presented to a financial transaction requestor. The requestor may be provided with a capability to indicate a selection of a transaction option for processing of a financial transaction. In other scenarios, an analysis of a set of transaction options may be performed based on a complete financial transaction request that includes a transaction amount. An indication of whether the financial transaction is executable may be transmitted, potentially for presentation to a financial transaction requestor. | 04-25-2013 |
