A method of processing data on a server computer is disclosed. The method includes receiving data at the server computer, the data including a first data string including one or more wildcard values. The first data string is specifically associated with a consumer, and the one or more wildcard values are associated with the purchase transaction. The method also includes comparing the first data string to a second data string by the server computer, and providing an output to the consumer based on the comparison.

A portable consumer device is disclosed. The portable consumer device includes a body and a computer readable medium coupled to the body. The computer readable medium comprises a data string including one or more wildcard values. The data string is specifically associated with the consumer. For example, the data string may represent one or more products that the consumer prefers to use.

A system for facilitating image management for portable devices includes a host configured to maintain information relating to a first portable device, and a second portable device and an interface device configured to communicate with the host and the first and second portable devices. The interface device includes control logic configured to: determine whether the first portable device is valid for image synchronization using information provided by the host; and if it is determined that the first portable device is valid for image synchronization, record an image of the first portable device, determine whether the second portable device is valid for image synchronization, and download an image of the first portable device to the second portable device if it is determined that the second portable device is valid for image synchronization. The interface device further includes control logic configured to: determine whether the second portable device is valid for image replacement using information provided by the host, and if it is determined that the second portable device is valid for image replacement, retrieve an image of the first portable device and download the retrieved image to the second portable device. The interface device also includes control logic configured to: determine whether the second portable device includes additional information that is not included in the image of the first portable device, and if it is determined that the second portable device includes the additional information, concatenate the additional information with the image of the first portable device, and download the concatenated additional information and image of the first portable device onto the second portable device. The interface device concatenates the additional information and the image of the first portable device based on a set of conflict resolution rules.

An interface for a digital video disk system utilizing a small number of pins which allows a requesting device to initiate data requests and which avoids the phenomenon of lock-up. The interface includes an input interface terminal at which a data request signal from an output device is received in a first mode and at which a sampling signal is received from the output device in a second mode; a first output interface terminal at which a sampling/synchronizing signal is transmitted from the source device to the output device in the first mode, the sampling/synchronizing signal synchronizing and sampling the data request signal, and at which a first synchronizing signal is transmitted from the source device to the output device in the second mode, the first synchronizing signal synchronizing data output; at least one data output interface terminal at which requested data is transmitted from the source device to the output device in the first and second modes, a second output interface terminal at which a second synchronization signal is transmitted from the source device to the output device at the start of data transmission in the first mode; a third output interface terminal at which a data strobe signal is transmitted from the source device to the output device in the first mode, the data strobe signal latching the requested data, and at which a third synchronization signal is transmitted from the source device to the output device in the second mode, the third synchronization signal synchronizing the left/right audio frames; and a fourth output terminal at which a data error signal is transmitted from the source device to the output device in the first and second modes, the data error signal indicating that the requested data contains an error.

A method and system for linking multiple pre-existing reward programs is disclosed. The method includes receiving information about a first pre-existing reward program for a first product, where the first reward program provides for a first reward, and receiving information about a second pre-existing reward program for a second product, wherein the second reward program provides a second reward. A combination reward program is provided, and the combination reward program provides a combination reward that is greater than each of the first reward and the second reward.

Methods and systems are provided for loading money from a gift card into a digital wallet. The transfer can be done at a point of sale (POS), such as during a purchase of the gift card. The digital wallet can be a digital wallet of a user who is purchasing the gift card. The money in the digital wallet can be used to purchase products from the same merchant or another merchant. The money can be transferred from the digital wallet to any other person or entity.
摘要:
A system for providing distributed control to process transactions is disclosed, including a service provider system, a point of service device, and a portable device. The service provider system, point of service (POS) device, and portable device each have a plurality of rules and a number of meta-rules. The portable device is used with the POS device to conduct a transaction. If the portable device is unable to determine the outcome for the transaction, the portable device determines whether its rules may be altered locally to determine the outcome, or request the POS device to help determine the outcome. If the POS device is unable to determine the outcome, the POS device determines whether its rules can be altered locally in order to determine the outcome, or request the service provider system to help determine the outcome using the rules and meta-rules associated with the service provider system.
