| 20110276531 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VALIDATION OF TRANSACTION DATA - A system and a method for validation of transaction data are disclosed. A rules engine in the system and the method is used to quickly and accurately deduce whether or not a transaction is a candidate for flagging with additional identification data, and a loyalty engine is used to quickly and accurately track and manage an entity relating to a transaction. In the system and the method, through compression and optimization, separate logical rules originally built are combined into an aggregate of compressed rules shared across a plurality of validations, such that the aggregate of compressed rules in the rules engine and the loyalty engine operates in memories of computing machines hosting servers. The system creates modularity and nimbleness with an internal instancing system and a dynamic routing node to multiple active instances. The multiple active instances of the rules engine and the loyalty engine support real-time updates and thus facilitate higher uptime capacities. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110276717 | DYNAMIC AND RECURSIVE TRANSACTION GATEWAY SYSTEM AND METHOD - A dynamic and recursive transaction gateway system and its method are disclosed. The dynamic and recursive transaction gateway system is designed to handle financial, medical, and other types of transactional information. The dynamic and recursive transaction gateway system provides intelligence for processing transactions in all phases of the system. The dynamic and recursive transaction gateway system is empowered by introducing the protocol of Level 4 Data which are supplementary data used by the decision-making engine in the system. The dynamic and recursive transaction gateway system has a capability of generating and processing tokenized data which includes tokens for predetermined numbers of transactions, tokens for predetermined periods of time, tokens for unlimited time, and chain-bound tokens shared across locations. The dynamic and recursive transaction gateway system provides a novel approach: recursive transaction processing. Through the recursive transaction processing, sub-transactions generated from an original transaction are recursively fed to the system. The sub-transactions are individually processed by the system and routed to different destination systems. | 11-10-2011 |

| 20110153515 | Distributed capture system for use with a legacy enterprise content management system - A distributed capture system is disclosed which enables digital content to be captured in various formats and interfaced with a plurality ECM) platforms which enables the distributed capture system to be seamlessly integrated with a customer's legacy ECM system. The system is configured to receive various financial records that are normally created at a financial institution, such as loan applications and customer signature cards, in various formats, such as Microsoft Word, PDF, and Printer Control Language (PCL). The financial records are directed to a virtual printer and converted to a TIFF format. The print stream associated with the text embedded in the TIFF image of the financial record is captured and compared with document classification template. The document classification template allows the document to be automatically classified and indexed. Documents are then sent to the ECM interface. The ECM interface allows financial records that are normally created at the financial institution to be converted to electronic form and stored in the financial institution's legacy ECM. By eliminating the need to purchase a new ECM, the need to convert existing data to the format of the legacy ECM is obviated. | 06-23-2011 |
