Filed:

Dec 19, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/741839

Inventors:

Catherine G. Wong - Pasadena CA, US
Mika Nystroem - Pasadena CA, US
Alain J. Martin - Pasadena CA, US

Assignee:

California Institute of Technology - Pasadena CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/50

US Classification:

716 18, 716 3, 716 7

Abstract:

The present invention is a systematic and data-driven-decomposition (DDD) method and apparatus for use in VLSI synthesis. The invention decomposes a high level program circuit description into a collection of small and highly concurrent modules that can be implemented directly into transistor networks. This enables an automatic implementation of a decomposition process currently done by hand. Unlike prior art syntax-based decompositions, the method of the present invention examines data dependencies in the process' computation, and then attempts to eliminate unnecessary synchronization in the system. In one embodiment, the method comprises: a conversion to convert the input program into an intermediate Dynamic Single Assignment (DSA) form, a projection process to decompose the intermediate DSA into smaller concurrent processes, and a clustering process that optimally groups small concurrent processes to make up the final decomposition. Another embodiment is a decomposition, projection, and clustering tool implemented in computer program codes.

Assignee:

eBay Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 39

Abstract:

An application on user's mobile device (having a display screen) generates a transaction-specific barcode on the display, where the barcode contains a plurality of funding sources for the transaction and/or merchant loyalty, reward, or membership numbers. The barcode can be scanned to make purchases at a point of sale (POS).

Abstract:

Methods and systems for facilitating payments with a mobile device are described. The methods include detecting a location of a mobile device, receiving identifying information from a user through the mobile device when the mobile device is near at least one merchant, generating a payment code, transmitting the payment code to the mobile device, receiving the payment code and a payment request from a merchant, and processing the payment request.
