    摘要: A method and system for processing a credit request from a credit/charge cardholder which automatically applies a rules-based decision process to determine whether to credit the cardholder's account, the amount of the credit, whether to do a chargeback to the merchant, and the amount of the chargeback. Individual issuing banks who issue credit/charge cards and individual merchants may specify custom rules which must be considered before a credit is issued and/or before a chargeback to the merchant is performed. The rules set forth the conditions under which the merchant will waive its right to prove the disputed transaction such that a chargeback is automatically issued to the merchant. For example, a merchant may specify that if the transaction is $20 or less, it will accept an automatic chargeback without the merchant's involvement and if the transaction is greater than $20, the merchant wants to receive notice of the dispute and the opportunity to prove or verify the authenticity of the transaction. In one aspect, the system may optionally include the blocking of calls based upon a list of potential callers from whom further transactions or requests for chargeback will be declined. The callers ANI or calling number identification is compared against the list, and the calls are not answered by the system.

    摘要: Methods for providing an offer of an upsell item to users of a given self-service device, and systems and computer-readable media suitable for practicing the methods. The method can comprise enabling initiation of a given primary transaction between a given user and the given self-service device, with the given primary transaction involving a specific good and/or a specific service that is obtained using the given self-service device. The given user is identified, and the geographic location of the given user when initiating the given primary transaction is established. A second data element relating to the given user is obtained utilizing data representing the identity of the given user. The upsell item is determined utilizing, at least in part, the second data element and data representing the geographic position of the given user. The upsell item is then offered to the given user. Illustrative self-service devices can include devices that enable the user to obtain commodities such as gasoline, cash, snacks, drinks, paper items, or the like. Further aspects of the invention project the user's future position, arrival times, and anticipated needs based on primary transaction data and further data related to the user.

    摘要: A system, method, and computer readable medium for providing management of electronic calendar appointments are provided. A database stores records of scheduled appointments of one or more users. The scheduled appointments may be displayed in a calendar view that includes scheduled appointments of the one or more users. A user may designate scheduled appointments associated with the user as private. The calendar system may then hide the scheduled appointments designated as private such that the private appointments are not displayed for view by other users. In another embodiment, a user may select multiple days for printing of scheduled events. In still another embodiment, a user may specify an interval for searching for a period of consecutive days during which the user does not have any scheduled appointments.
