    摘要: A system and method for adding value into a customer's stored-value account is provided. A stored-value card is distributed to a merchant for distribution to a customer who has an account with a specific provider of goods and/or services. The stored-value card has an associated identifier that can be used to associate a stored value with the card. The associated stored value is redeemable with one or more providers, including the specific provider. The account has an associated account number. During a card purchase transaction, a central processor (12) receives a request to activate the card from a merchant terminal (40,42,44). The central processor (12) receives a redemption request from the customer, wherein the redemption request includes the identifier. The central processor (12) identifies the provider and the account number. The central processor (12) inserts the associated value into the account, for instance by passing a value insertion request to the provider. The central processor (12) receives a subsequent request to activate the card from a different merchant terminal (40,42,44). The central processor (12) recognizes the card, identifies the provider and account number, and automatically inserts the value into the account.

    摘要: To expand the call area for wireless IP phones without imposing significant economic costs on IP telephony service providers.
    In a voice communication service system JH, a service provider provides voice communication service to a subscriber who has paid a predetermined service charge, using an authorized access point and spare bandwidth available on an authorized broadband connection. Where spare bandwidth on an authorized broadband connection is used by a third party, the authorized access point owner and line lessee of the authorized broadband connection receive a rebate, based on usage of the spare bandwidth, from the service provider.
