Systems and methods for automatically importing, refreshing and maintaining corrections to a list of contacts through addition, deletion, and change detection, and for merging disparate sources of data into a single unified list of contacts, according to configurable rule sets for resolving conflicts between the merged sources' values for any given field. Record sets are compared and automatically matched without requiring a unique contact identifier or key field; new records and deleted records are detected; conflicting information for any given field in a record is resolved; and updates to a local database are applied such that any override or augmentation of the data in the local database can persist for a given record. Multiple overlapping contact data sources are merged so as to identify common records, and the data combined so as to preserve as much information as possible, while concurrently handling conflicting data as it is encountered.

A method whereby the date of birth (age) of a consumer engaging in e-commerce over the Internet is verified. The present invention is launched from a merchant's website when an age sensitive transaction—alcohol or tobacco purchase, access to an adult web site, etc., —is being undertaken. The system first checks to see if the consumer is a known entity with a known date of birth. If the consumer is not known to the system, then the system checks public records from information supplied to the system by the consumer. If the date of birth is still unknown after such a check, the consumer uploads an image of photo identification which is checked for date of birth either via software or manually. Once the date of birth is known, the transaction is approved or denied based on the totality of the facts of the transaction.

Public records are used to help in the detection and prevention of fraud as well as to verify a consumer. Public records are accessed in real-time and then used to determine if a consumer is who they claim to be or is a fraudster. Questions are generated using the public records based on an initial fraud score and a verification level associated with the entity requesting the fraud and verification services. Based on the response to the questions, the fraud score is updated and a confidence level is returned to the requestor to determine whether the user is legitimate or a fraudster. The questions may be presented online or offline. The verification can be different for every merchant.

A personal computer to which electronic equipment, such as, an electronic camera is connected reads recording units that are recorded in the electronic camera and displays a table consisting of recording information. In recording information such as a main image, a sub image and sound in the electronic camera, data within the electronic camera are inter-related by an index which indicates that the information is part of a common recording unit. The date having the same index are output and displayed in a same thumbnail area. When a recording unit for deletion is designated from the table, check boxes are displayed according to information contained in the recording unit. For example, an “x” is displayed in the check box of the information to be deleted, indicating that the information is a target of deletion. After the selection of information is completed and an “OK” button is pressed, the personal computer sends a control command to the electronic camera and deletes the designated information. Rather than deletion, the designated information can be read from the electronic camera into the personal computer.

Aspects of the present invention are directed to implementing transformation of an original entity into a verifiably authenticable entity in a heterogeneous communications network environment including at least a publisher computer, a server computer system, a customer computer, and a public record keeping system in a decentralized computational network which communicate with one another over a communications network such as the Internet. An electronic record of the original entity is created by the server computer system by associating a set of randomly produced unique identifiers to a physical indicia identifier which is extracted from an electronic file created by the publisher computer based on a digital reproduction of a portion of the original entity. A uniquely encrypted message associated with the electronic record of the original entity is published to a chain of data on a public record keeping system residing in nodes in a decentralized computational network which may be a Blockchain network. Verification of authenticity of an entity of interest relative to the original entity as a point of reference may include decrypting the uniquely encrypted message to identify whether a set of unique identifiers of interest associated with the entity of interest is published to the chain of data on the public record keeping system.

An integrated database and information server are provided that efficiently share information and tasks between various stored value programs. A server is configured to provide reusable objects and data structures that are suitably shared between various stored value products. A database at the server allows data to be shared between various programs so that each consumer associates with only one database record even though that consumer may use multiple shared value products. An exemplary common record for a consumer includes information relating to mailing addresses, preferred language, and the like. By integrating modules and avoiding duplicate records, the record communicates with all stored value programs, so the information does not need to be repeatedly entered into the database. Moreover, new stored value products are quickly and easily created through selection and arrangement of various shared objects preferably maintained within the database.
