Abstract:
An inter-bank email and mobile invoicing network is disclosed. Embodiments disclosed herein include an inter-bank email and mobile invoicing network that enables customers of banks or independent portals to send invoices to an email address or mobile phone number. The invoice can be received by the recipient within their bank's online or mobile banking site, in the case of banks that belong to a network that is managed by the proprietors of a financial management system and payment hub as disclosed herein. These banks will be referred to as “network banks” herein. The inter-bank invoicing network also refers to a common provider or connected providers of an invoicing and payment service that is linked to banks and to independent service providers.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the person-to-person (P2P) payment system and method described herein include a payor (“sender”) who is a member of a P2P payment network initiating a payment transaction by specifying an identity of a payee (“receiver”) to receive funds and a source value form. The identity of the receiver comprises an email address or a telephone number, to name two examples. The receiver may or may not be in the P2P payment network. The receiver may choose a destination account and destination value form for the funds. The destination account need not be in the P2P network. The destination value form need not be the same as the source value form.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for internetworking multiple person-to-person (P2P) payment networks and financial institutions is disclosed. Embodiments include receiving a request to send funds from a payor, the request containing one of the payee's email address and mobile phone number; determining whether the payee is registered with a network financial institution that is within a P2P network of the payer (the originating P2P network), wherein determining includes matching one of the payee's email address and mobile phone number; if the payee is registered within the originating P2P network financial institution, transferring the funds to the payee account at the network financial institution and notifying the payee and posting the transaction on the network financial institution web site; and if the payee is not registered within the originating P2P network determining whether the payee is registered with any second payment network connected to the internetwork payment hub with which the originating network is connected wherein determining includes matching one of the email or mobile phone number of the payee specified by the payor.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of handover from an active network to a selected one of a plurality of potential other networks. In addition to the overall solution, the solution proposed has several individual aspects. All subsidiary aspects are related to the common problem mentioned above and sharing the underlying common solution concept of implementing a system in which selective handover is possible and in which a list of available other networks provided by an active network can be handled and selection made by a terminal, so that neighbor cell information can be transmitted based on expressed terminal preferences.

Abstract:
An accessory rack for mounting on a vehicle is described. In an embodiment, the accessory rack includes an anchor that mounts to the frame and a stand that is supported by the anchor so as to provide a strong yet compact accessory rack. The small size provides potential benefits in the reduction of fuel consumption and/or reductions in wind noise in the event the user does not remove the accessory rack from the vehicle during periods of disuse. The accessory rack may include a stand configured to support standard sized carriers while providing improved ergonomics during installation of objects onto the carrier.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a naturally-occurring growth hormone mutation; to a method for detecting it and its use in screening patients for growth hormone dysfunction or for producing variant proteins suitable for treating such irregularities.
