Filed:

Nov 14, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/295769

Inventors:

Gary F. Moore - Mill Valley CA, US
David T. Shapiro - Highlands Ranch CO, US
Robert W. Newton - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

The Western Union Company - Englewood CO

International Classification:

G06Q 20/00

US Classification:

705 40, 705 42

Abstract:

Systems and methods for implementing one or a series of value transfers. In some instances, the systems and methods include web or Internet based user interfaces that provide a mechanism whereby a user can implement a transfer plan without interacting with a human operator. Further, in some instances, such systems and methods provide a mechanism for authorizing access to one or more asset accounts from which value is transferred, and/or recipient accounts to which value is transferred. In some cases, the authorization function is performed by an entity that enjoys a pre-existing relationship with a user accessing the systems of the present invention, while any actual transfers are performed by a third party entity. This can be an advantage where authorization requires a signature or other interaction with a user sufficient to conform to electronic signature laws.

Abstract:

A method for codeless development of an application includes registering one or more actions in a registry. Each action is coded in a reusable block of code, each action having an action definition including an action type name, an input parameters map, and an output parameters map. The method further includes performing an action type name look up in the registry for an invoked action with an action service ensuring that a number of arguments included in the action definition matches a number of arguments specified by the action type, passing an input to and receiving a return value from the invoked action, updating the output parameters map included in the definition of the invoked action, and returning the updated output parameters map to an application in development for updating processing variables in the application.

Abstract:

In one general aspect, a method can include creating an action, the creating including annotating a block of code with metadata, and encapsulating the annotated block of code into a reusable building block of code. The method can further include publishing the action, the publishing including registering the action in a service registry. The method can further include dynamically discovering the action in the service registry by an application during runtime, invoking the action by the application, and executing the action by the application, the executing performing a method specified by the action.
