International Classification:

G06F 1760

US Classification:

705 35, 705 1

Abstract:

A computer system, and methods for making and using it, for changing digital electrical signals to generate a valuation of a fractional interest in a contingent interest in property, the computer apparatus including: an input device operable for converting input data representing property into input digital electrical signals representing the input date; a digital electrical computer having a processor, the processor electrically connected to the input device to receive the input digital electrical signals, the processor programmed to change3 the input digital electrical signals to produce modified digital electrical signals representing a valuation of a fractional interest in a contingent interest in the property associated with at least one lease default condition for the property; a memory electrically connected to the processor; and wherein the processor manipulates further digital electrical signals to generate at least one document for the contingent interest by inserting the valuation in pre-existing text data obtained from the memory; and an output device electrically connected to the processor to print the document.

Richard A. Graff - Chicago IL, US

Assignee:

Graff/Ross Holdings - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 36R, 705 31, 705 35, 705 38

Abstract:

A computer system, and methods for making and using it, for manipulating digital electrical signals to produce an illustration of a decomposition of property into separately valued components. The computer system includes a digital electrical computer controlled by a processor. There is a first logic means controlling the processor in manipulating digital electrical signals representing input data to the computer, the input data characterizing at least two components decomposed from the property, the manipulating including transforming the digital electrical signals into modified digital electrical signals representing respective values for each of the components, the values being computed to reflect taxation for the components. Input means is coupled to the computer and operable for converting the input data into the digital electrical signals and communicating the digital electrical signals to the computer. Output means is coupled to receive the modified digital electrical signals from the computer and to converting the modified digital electrical signals representing the respective values into an illustration of the computed respective prices.

International Classification:

G06Q 99/00

US Classification:

705 1, 705 35

Abstract:

A computer system for changing signals to separately value components temporally decomposed from residential property, the computer system including: an input device operable for converting input data representing the residential property into input signals representing the input data; a computer having a processor, the processor connected to the input to receive the input computer signals, the processor programmed to change the input signals to produce modified signals representing a separate market-based valuation of each of a plurality of components temporally decomposed from the property, the components including a residential estate for years interest and a residential remainder interest; and an output device connected to the processor to convert the modified signals into an illustration including the respective valuation of each of the components.

US Classification:

705 36R, 705 35, 705 38, 705 36 T, 705 40

Abstract:

Computer machine, manufacture, methods of making and using the same, and product produced thereby, each pertaining to valuing, trading, and/or documenting securities that produce mostly tax-exempt income. A method includes making a second financial analysis output having a second computed valuation for property, the financial analysis output being made by steps including: controlling a computer in generating as output a valuation for an income-producing security, the security not a tax-exempt security, most of the income produced by the security being tax-exempt; communicating some of the output to a second computer for generating the second valuation; and generating the second financial analysis output, including the second valuation, at the second computer.

Abstract:

Illustratively, there can be a securitization system that is comprised of a computer or computers using a network, and a process, for the conversion of assets into marketable securities. In one embodiment, the securitization system includes a distribution system to distribute at least some of the marketable securities generated by the securitization system to one or more buyers. The process may utilize a new definition of securitization that expands the universe of securitizable assets, the universe of asset securitization methodologies, and the universe of securities that can be designed and generated thereby.
