In order to make it more difficult to obtain numbers that can be used to conduct fraudulent transactions, a portion of a real account number is encrypted. The encrypted portion of the account number is used to generate a new account number, a new expiration date, and a new verification value. This information can be determined using processor that may reside in a point of sale terminal, a smart card, or a computer operated by a user. The new account number, the new expiration date, and the new verification value can be used in a payment transaction. A server computer in a central payment processing network may determine that the new account information is not the real account information, and may subsequently generate a modified authorization request message using the real account information and may send it to an issuer for approval. The transmission of data is more secure, since real account information is not sent from the merchant to the payment processing network.

The personalized content system of the system combines a summary music identification value creation and identification algorithm that represents a mathematical summary music identification of a song, an audio file, or other relational music criteria and data (e.g. title, artist, genre, style, beats per minute, etc.) or any combination thereof. The derived value represents the musical taste or style attributes of a song or style. The analysis and generation of the summary music identification value is intended to take place while outside the vehicle where attention can be paid and vehicle distraction and safety is not an issue. A user can generate a single summary music identification value or can generate multiple summary music identification values for different criteria. In other cases, summary music identification values can be defined for genre, but with a much more personal touch possible than with fixed playlist radio stations. In another embodiment, a user can obtain and use someone else's summary music identification value (e.g. a celebrity, artist, friend, etc.) and use it with the system.

An electronic exchange creates and distributes value among trading partners in a trade. Trading agents for the trading partners use a value manager to store true values for a trading element in the trade. The true values are the values perceived by the trading partner, but are not shown to other trading partners. These true values vary with attributes of the trading element. The attributes modify the trading element and are valued differently by different trading partners. A trade manager receives offers from trading agents. The offers are sent with the true values and the attribute values. The trade manager compares true values of buyers and sellers across a range of attribute values. Net values are computed as the difference of a buyers' sum and a sellers' sum. The buyers' sum is the sum of all true values from buyer trading agents, while the sellers' sum is the sum of the true values of all seller trading agents. The trade manager finds a set of attribute values that has a maximum net value. The trade is conducted for the trading element with the attributes that maximizes the net value. The net value is then allocated among the electronic exchange and the buyer and seller trading partners.

There is disclosed a system and method for creating value by facilitating third party participation in mobile commerce transactions, providing consumers with a unified perspective of commercial activity, and selectively implementing discounts.

The invention discloses a method for constructing a distributed power supply smart grid with a hierarchy structure. The construction of the grid adopts a parameter measurement module, a grid node parameter two-way intelligent communication module, an information processing, management and control module, an intelligent scheduling driving module, a distributed energy source access module, an intelligent regulation load output module, and a battery pack consisting of a plurality of groups of single-group controllable batteries to form unit systems of the distributed power supply smart grid withthe hierarchy structure, wherein a unit system of a bottom layer is connected with a unit system of the same layer or an upper layer to form the distributed power supply smart grid with the hierarchystructure. The distributed power supply smart grid has the advantages of having self-cure, real-time monitoring and measurement scheduling, exciting users, resisting attacks, allowing accesses, interconnections and inter-supplies in various power generation forms such as a new energy source and the like; and in the smart grid, a user can turn from a guest into a host to become a power supplier toensure that the electric power generated by a solar energy electroplate on a user roof is transmitted to a grid for centralized distribution so as to create values for the user.

An online electronic marketplace in which carriers bid for loads tendered by shippers, and shippers purchase the most attractive transportation services. The system described herein efficiently matches loads and capacities, lowers transaction costs, and creates value through enhanced visibility to information resulting in efficient transportation and financial transactions. According to specific embodiments, the present invention combines a neutral marketplace patterned after a stock exchange, with the electronic format of an Internet auction site to create a trading system for the logistics industry.

The personalized content system of the system combines a summary music identification value creation and identification algorithm that represents a mathematical summary music identification of a song, an audio file, or other relational music criteria and data (e.g title, artist, genre, style, beats per minute, etc.) or any combination thereof. The derived value represents the musical taste or style attributes of a song or style. The user can control the system by issuing one of a plurality of commands comprising artist command, song/title command, genre command, and album/filtered list command. These commands then lead to command trees that may be used in a voice controlled system, for example.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for checkpointing for delayed alert creation are provided. Embodiments include applying a checkpoint to an events pool having events with corresponding alerts that have been generated and not delivered and following a crash and loss of the corresponding alerts not recorded in an alert database, generating new alerts based on the events in the events pool having the checkpoint. In response to completing processing of a new alert, embodiments include determining whether the alert database has an entry corresponding to the processed new alert. If the alert database has an entry corresponding to the processed new alert, embodiments include delivering the processed new alert without reporting the processed new alert to the alert database. If the alert database does not have an entry corresponding to the processed new alert, embodiments include reporting the processed new alert to an alert database.

Data mined in a radio access and transport network is used to create or adapt SON rules and SON parameters. More particularly, the analytics of “Big Data” mined in the network are used to generate new or modified SON rules and/or parameters, in realtime, in an automated way (i.e., substantially without human interaction in creating/updating the rules and/or parameters). A system and method for creating or adapting a rule in a SON network, is provided including a first network management layer (which can be, but does not have to be, the network management layer of a “Big Data” system), an element management system layer, and at least one network element. In this embodiment, the system is configured to: obtain data mined from the SON network and/or other sources; perform analytics on the mined data; and automatically create a new rule or adapt an existing rule, based on the results of the analytics performed.
