Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for utilizing one or more decentralized applications to allow entities to interface with a blockchain for the purposes of conducting a resource transfer. Typically, the blockchain is a permissioned blockchain which may be accessed only by the entities involved in the resource transfer. The decentralized applications may communicate with the legacy systems within each entity through an application programming interface (API) such that the data stored on the legacy systems may be governed by the blockchain. This ensures the authenticity of the data stored on the legacy systems while preventing the possibility of disparate versions of data being created over time.

A system is provided for upgrading a legacy security system having a legacy control panel and a legacy card reader, without interfering with legacy system operation. A new control panel is installed between the legacy card reader and the legacy control panel. Also, a new token reader is installed next to the legacy card reader and connected to the new control panel. The new control panel passes credentials it receives from the legacy card reader to the legacy control panel, avoiding interference with legacy system operation. When the new control panel receives credentials from the new token reader, it evaluates them against an access rights list administered independently of the legacy access rights list. When the new control panel determines that an access request should be granted, it sends a memorized legacy credential associated with full access rights to the legacy control panel, causing it to open the door.

A multiphase matching process to reconcile imported asset records from a first legacy computer systems and inventory asset records which are either imported from a second legacy system or which are automatically discovered assets on a network of assets in a company or other entity by any automated asset discovery process. The multiphase matching process repetitively imports asset records, creates unique signatures for each to prevent duplication, and applies different techniques during each phase to automatically find matches, or provide tools to assist and operator to manually find matches and correct, complete or annotate asset records with incorrect or missing information and make new asset records for assets which have no asset records in the reconciliation database. Corrected, completed or new asset records can be exported through a reverse mapping processing into corrected, completed or new asset records in the original legacy computer systems.

A method and system that enables data to be shared across application systems via a table substitution scheme. Tables are identified in the legacy application system that are candidates for substitution of tables in the core application system containing similar data. Table structure meta data corresponding to these “substituted” tables are then extracted from the legacy system schema, and stored in a repository. In accordance with the meta data, business logic is defined to remap columns in the core tables to corresponding columns in the substituted tables. Accordingly, when the core application system performs data access (e.g., reads, inserts, updates, etc.), it accesses the remapped columns in the substituted tables instead of original columns in the core tables. At the same time, the legacy application system is enabled to concurrently access the substituted tables without require any changes to the business logic of the legacy application system.

A method of estimating the location of a wireless terminal is disclosed that is ideally suited for use with legacy systems. The illustrative embodiment of the present invention is based on the observation that the signal strength of a signal from a transmitter is different at some locations, and, therefore, the location of a wireless terminal can be estimated by comparing the signal strength it currently observes against a map or database that correlates locations to signal strengths. For example, if a particular radio station is known to be received well at a first location and poorly at a second location, and a given wireless terminal at an unknown location is receiving the radio station poorly, it is more likely that the wireless terminal is at the second location than it is at the first location.

Process sequences may further be used for the purpose of mining processes from legacy systems for compliance checking solutions and for identifying how individual process instances are executed.

Techniques are disclosed that allow for resource allocation during situations requiring co-existence in cognitive radios. Even under situations of bandwidth scarcity, the techniques allow various users to be guaranteed quality of service (QoS) by proper distribution and allocation of resources.

A method and system for a user to access back-end legacy systems via voice input. The user dials-in to a voice server using a portable access device. Using speech synthesis, the voice server provides a menu of operations from which the user can select.

Using speech recognition, the voice server prepares a user request based on the spoken user input, that is forwarded to the systems interface, which may include a protocol server for providing a protocol interface and a transaction server for receiving user requests and generating legacy transactions based on the user requests. The systems interface retrieves information from the legacy systems based on the user request that is forwarded to the voice server, which formats and outputs the information to the access device.
