Abstract

The present invention relates to card payment systems. In particular, the present invention relates to systems and methods for processing payment card transactions in a dynamic currency conversion and/or multi-currency scheme. To operate correctly, ghost transactions are used. However to prevent duplication of debits against the card holder, these "ghost copy" transactions must not be processed into the card schemes with the normal transactions. Thus the acquirer's and/or third parties host systems have to be amended, in addition to modifications to the related accounting thereof. To overcome this necessity, the present invention provides a method for effecting the performance of a payment card transaction for a first transaction amount in a first currency, between a first merchant and a first payment card holder, the method comprising the steps of (a) creating a first payment card transaction record between the first merchant and a second cardholder for the first transaction amount, (b) creating a second payment card transaction record between a second merchant and the first cardholder, wherein the second transaction record identifies a second transaction amount in a second currency which equates to the first transaction amount converted into the second currency, and submitting the first transaction record and the second transaction record for processing as payment card transactions.

Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention describes a card payment system. In particular, the present invention describes a system and method for processing payment card transactions with-dynamic currency conversion and / or multi-currency plans. [Prior Art] There are many types of card payment systems available, including, for example, credit cards, debit cards, and debit cards. Generally speaking, transactions involving a card payment are processed in the merchant's currency. If so, when using an Irish credit card to buy something in the United States, the transaction currency is likely to be in US dollars. Thereafter, the credit card owner's bank converts the transaction price into an equivalent euro price. However, the euro price is unknown to the point of sale. The equivalent euro price will then appear on the credit card owner's list. Such restrictions can be inconvenient for cardholders traveling abroad, as they are not sure of the exact domestic currency price of the transaction at the point of sale when the sale occurs. ^ When the customer uses his payment card to make purchases, dynamic currency conversion overcomes these restrictions by converting currency at the child's point of sale. An example of a dynamic currency conversion system is described in W001 / 0486. Through dynamic currency conversion processing, the cardholder is notified of the amount of domestic currency he has paid while shopping, and the merchant receives payment in his own currency. The processing is possible because the function of "converting the merchant's currency to the cardholder's currency" is performed in the computer system of the point of sale, terminal, and not the bank where the cardholder holds his credit card account. For the purposes of this application, the term "bank" generally means any financial institution that provides payment card services, and is understood to include, for example, 86669 200404242 House Mutual Aid and Deposit Mutual Aid. In addition to dynamic currency conversion programs The multi-currency plan also operates to perform the negative currency conversion on the transaction before submitting the transaction records to the banks for processing. However, in a multi-currency plan, the conversion processing may not The point of sale may occur at the time of the sale, but is converted later. These merchants process payment card transactions and submit these transactions to these financial institutions or an intermediary institution as a transaction record. Each transaction has a value containing m For details of the related transaction records of Forex. Before dynamic currency conversion has been introduced into payment card transactions, to retrieve a transaction record, follow the transaction shown in Figure 丨. ΠΑ0 " Go line by line. The exact fields and field formats used by each bank may vary from bank to bank. Jian Luzhi 'information on these fields identifies the transaction date, the name of the payment card holder, The payment card number, the expiration date of the payment card, the name of the merchant who executed the transaction, the merchant code that executed the transaction, and the transaction amount. With the introduction of dynamic currency conversion transactions, it is necessary to additionally, capture, and several columns Position. In the transaction of Fig. 2, "B0" illustrates "retrieving a representative transaction record under a dynamic currency conversion environment." These additional fields to be captured include the conversion currency element of the transaction, which may include the conversion amount converted into the currency of the cardholder ’s payment card account, and where the cardholder can see the conversion amount and The rate at which this conversion is performed with M. The cardholder's currency can also be requested. ^ Specifically, first, it is typically processed through the merchant's acquiring bank: Father Yi (transactions processed using only the merchant's currency, ^ an example is illustrated in Figure 1); however, such dynamic currencies can be used The conversion transaction is separated from these normal transactions' and the dynamic currency conversion transactions can be delivered to a mobile currency conversion system and system in accordance with the prescribed route, where these dynamic currency conversion transactions are transmitted to these card plans (washing "Receiving", and a multi-currency payment card processing bank or other prescribed materials, etc., to return to the acquiring bank and / or the merchant. H currency payment card processing bank is-able Banks from merchant payment cards 3 ^ are processed in multiple currencies. This separate function can be manipulated by a point-of-sale (PQS) device, where normal and / or conversion transactions are sent to a first host and normal and / or conversion The transaction is distributed to another host or other hosts. An acquirer and / or third-party host, device, or exchange device and / or any other suitable separate device can also be placed in front of the POS device. The p0s device and / or the POS device perform the separate function. In order for the acquiring bank and / or other third parties to pay the merchant, and / or provide the merchant with a list of all patrons to the merchant (Rather than two separate formal payments and / or two separate lists), some combination of such forward and rebuffing currency conversion transactions is required. If so, in order to settle the settlement between the acquiring bank and the merchant Account and settle the list of the acquiring bank to the merchant and / or the residence card is deducted and the relevant card payable to the acquiring bank plans the merchant service fee, so one of the dynamic currency conversion transactions can be ,, ghost transaction, merge / transmit to the host of the acquiring bank or other third party. However, in order to prevent the cardholder debit from happening, the situation is repeated twice, so you ca n’t add cancer, etc. ' The "ghost copy" transaction is processed into these card drawings together with these normal transactions. If so, in addition to the relevant accounting of the acquiring bank and / or third parties, the main system must also be amended. Waiting for acquiring bank to Revise its computer system to handle the split / int 86669 200404242 and to separately provide-list and payment / settlement to the merchant, so it is of interest to the acquirer. Acquiring banks using dynamic currency conversion services create significant difficulties. To facilitate Dynamic currency conversion services, so a large amount of computer code needs to be focused on the computer system of the Bank of Haihe Temple. It seems that Lai Lai is a householder who wants to provide dynamic payment conversion facilities, but because of the need to convert computers Resources (often difficult to find; and in some cases, pre-purchase in previous years) make this proposal unattractive. In addition, the interface to the current banking e-service system / procedure is also extremely difficult for the bank. Unwilling to take risks. In contrast to "software belonging to payment card terminals located in such merchant locations, or even an intermediate host", this is extremely easy to configure independent resources to modify such payment card terminals or An intermediate host's software. When any change is made to the software of these payment card terminals or an intermediate host, it will not be possible to interface with the host computer operation of the acquiring bank. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for realizing the easy performance of a conversion payment card fork, wherein the host computer system of the acquiring bank is not required to be changed. [Summary] Therefore, a first specific embodiment of the present invention provides A method for realizing the performance of a payment card transaction between a first merchant and a first payment card holder, and a first transaction amount in a first currency, wherein the method includes the following steps: a) in the first A first payment card transaction record for the first transaction amount generated between a merchant and a second cardholder; 86669 -10-200404242 b) a second payment card transaction is generated between a second merchant and the first cardholder Record ·, wherein the second transaction record identifies a second transaction amount in a second currency, and wherein the second transaction amount is equal to the amount of the first transaction amount converted into the second currency; and c) the brother Father Yi records and the brother X Yi records are submitted and processed into payment card fork Yi. Because the first cardholder has actually been replaced by a second cardholder in the first transaction record, a subsequent subsequent transaction by a dynamic currency conversion operator will not cause the first cardholder The cardholder's debit occurred, and the situation was repeated twice ". If so, it is not necessary to rewrite the software of an acquirer bank to avoid such things as the aforementioned “double debiting”. Similarly, from the point of view of the acquiring bank handling the transaction by the merchant and / or the merchant, it is not necessary to introduce and / or receive ghost transactions in order to consolidate and / or calculate the service fee of the merchant. To revise the systems of these acquiring banks.珣 豕 Associated The steps of enabling the second cardholder and the first to submit the first transaction record and the second transaction record for processing are available. The following steps are included. The first transaction record is retrieved for processing into a non-convertible payment transaction. The steps to submit the first transaction & ren, yi ren, ji, jilu, and sibling binary fork record for processing 骡 may include steps ^, bu, 骒. Twist father and child second transaction record for processing into a conversion Payment transaction. j, the present invention may include the following additional steps: generating a third branch of the amount of the second currency (the W-gold) between the second cardholder merchant, and submitting the transaction For payment processing. This third transaction can be submitted as a non-switching payment 86669 -11-200404242 card transaction. The advantage of the third transaction record is that it effectively offsets the first transaction record corresponding to the second cardholder. If so, there is no need to correct the account balance of the second cardholder account. The method may include the following initial steps: Before performing the steps of generating the one or more transaction records, determine whether a transaction is a dynamic currency convertible transaction. The method may include the following initial steps: receiving a payment card transaction instruction of a first transaction amount in a first currency between a first merchant and a first payment card holder. The method may include the following steps: the first, and / or the second, and / or the second are easily logged into the computer system associated with an acquiring bank. The present invention also provides a system adapted to realize the performance of a payment card transaction, wherein the system includes: a system for receiving a first transaction amount between a first merchant and a first payment card holder in a first currency; A device for transaction details; a device for generating a first payment card transaction record of the first transaction amount between the first merchant and a second cardholder; a device for a brother and a merchant with the first card A device for generating a second payment card transaction record on the earth, wherein the second transaction record identifies a second transaction amount in a second currency, and wherein the second transaction amount is equal to the first transaction amount and converted into the second currency And the device used to submit the generated transaction record to a host and process it into a payment card transaction. 86669 -12- 200404242 The device for submitting the generated transaction records can be appropriately adapted to be used to submit the first transaction record and processed into a non-converting payment transaction. -The device for submitting the generated transaction record may be appropriately adapted.

As far as the present invention is concerned, the exact way in which Γ details and transactions are lost is not important. Waiting for an individual break + «Yi Yi card can be a traditional (non-converted) transaction, or filial piety exchange. Yu-Yi Jie Liu Specialist Exchange will execute the transaction with the merchant's currency 2. In-traditional transactions, if the cardholder's account is used-different from the currency operation of the account, J ... then the cardholder's bank converts the transaction into the cardholder when the transaction is logged in ^ The currency of the account. Normally, after completing the transaction, a certain __ (or even a few days later) is used for conversion. 0 The pass will be exchanged for comparison with the conversion transaction, where the conversion transaction is performed before the bank is processed by the bank. The transaction amount is first converted into the currency of the cardholder's payment card account. An example of a conversion transaction is easy for a dynamic currency conversion. An example of a dynamic currency conversion system is described in WOG1 / () 486. In the representative plan of 忒, each of these POS devices i is adapted to handle traditional and / or conversion payment card transactions. For each transaction processed on a device, a transaction record is generated and the transaction record is stored on the POS device. A representative conventional transaction record 100 is illustrated in FIG. The transaction record identifies the date of fork 3, cardholder name 4, cardholder card number 5, card expiration date 6, merchant name 7, merchant code 8, and transaction amount 9. The transaction record may contain other information and fields. Fig. 2 illustrates a representative conversion transaction 2000. The same fields in Fig. 2 are described with reference numerals that previously described a conventional transaction field. These conversions 86669 -15 · 200404242 The transaction has a number of fields corresponding to a traditional transaction ^ 4JL ^ The fields included in the transaction are like cardholder name 4, cardholder card number 5, card 7, six expiration dates 6 , Business name 7, business card code 8, and transaction amount 9, etc. Dan The conversion transaction records can also include each other. The owe and two daggers appear in the traditional transaction records. In addition to these stalls, the ^ Chang's Changyi Record also contains information about additional fields in the right column, among which the information said that the next day Temple Beco identified 蔹 as easy and easy to convert. The child register may include a field storing the transaction amount 11 of the cardholder's currency, and / or a field storing the currency used in the conversion. The fields it can provide include-the currency identification code used to identify the cardholder's currency. 0 will detect 1 the same field structure is used for conversion and non-conversion transactions. 'But using-identification code or other devices to Distinguish these two transaction types. For example, a traditional transaction can be distinguished from a conversion transaction by "there is no data (or a null value) in a field related to the conversion transaction (such as the conversion amount stall or exchange rate field). The individual transaction records are uploaded to the intermediate host 2, such as at the end of each day, or at any time during the transaction generation and fetch cycle, or as a batch at the end of the transaction generation and fetch cycle. It is convenient to upload transaction records, so the POS devices 1 are appropriately adapted to communicate with the intermediate host using an appropriate communication device (typically through a modem and a telephone line). The intermediate host 2 is adapted from the p. s device 1 receives the transaction records and processes. Then 'intermediate host 2 forwards the transaction records on the computer systems associated with the acquiring banks (where these computer systems will eventually lose your 86669 -16- 200404242 Payment card transaction). Once receiving these individual transaction records, the intermediate host 2 can perform one-two check and verification routines to ensure the accuracy of the submitted records The intermediate host 2 can then separate these conversion transactions from these traditional transactions. According to the above-mentioned method, the traditional transactions are forwarded to the acquirer bank 12 of the merchant, where the acquirer bank 12 continues It forwards these transactions to these payment card plans 13. Payment card plan 13 ensures that the correct fees are applied to the appropriate cardholder account. The conversion transaction is forwarded to a currency conversion plan 14 or a link to the currency conversion plan to assist these transactions to be processed by Xiyuan Currency Bank 15. Multi-currency bank 15 forwards these transactions to these payment cards in turn Project 13, in which these payment card projects then apply these fees to the appropriate cardholder account. Figure 4 illustrates a representative implementation of the present invention, in which each The transaction records can be converted to generate several new transaction records, and at least one of the new transaction records can be submitted to the merchant's acquiring bank for processing. Now, a representative conversion transaction record 200 illustrated in FIG. 2 will be explained 4 illustrations The representative representative method described, in which the method identifies a transaction payment card transaction record of a certain amount between a merchant and a cardholder. The host computer may receive the transaction card transaction record from the merchant's POS device. Once a host receives the transaction card, When the transferable payment card transaction record (400), the host starts to generate several payment transaction records. In particular, between the merchant and a second cardholder, the same amount of 86669 -17 · 200404242-the first transaction record 401 as the received transaction record. The first transaction record. The exchange transaction between the merchant and the u card person. Figure 5_ Explanation-the representative first transaction record generated by 5000. Can be borrowed The newly generated first transaction record is generated by amending the received record. The second cardholder identified in the first transaction record 500 is a cardholder account or virtual cardholder of an intermediary layer ( For example, it may be the operator of the currency conversion plan or an association of the operator.) The transaction generated by Shi'an '" Hai effectively generated a debit from the intermediary cardholder to the merchant. The first transaction can then be submitted to the merchant's acquirer bank 12 and the payment of the first transaction can be processed by a payment method that processes the traditional (non-converted) transaction records. If so, the merchant's acquirer bank 12 will have a record showing "credit credited to the merchant account". The lender looks like a traditional payment card transaction between a merchant and a second cardholder (in this example, the operator of the currency conversion program or an association with the operator). If it is, “No need to change the software of the acquiring bank”, or “No need to log in and remove these ghost transactions, and then, or, fix”, you can complete the fees, Report and calculation. In addition to generating the first transaction record 500, a host also generates a second transaction record green (for example, illustrated in Figure 6) 402. The second transaction record 600 identifies a second merchant A transaction with the first cardholder. In this example, the second merchant is a merchant account associated with the intermediary layer, which may be, for example, the operator of the currency conversion plan or one of the operators. Related. The second transaction record 600 is a conversion transaction record, and therefore contains a second transaction amount using a second currency 86669 -18-200404242 (the cardholder's currency), where the second transaction amount is equal to the first. A transaction amount is converted into the amount of the second currency. If so, a payment card transaction is generated, in which an intermediary or a virtual merchant is credited (for example, an operator of the currency conversion plan or the operator's An association ) And debit the cardholder. According to the previous technique, “submit a second transaction record 600 for payment processing”, which first submits a currency conversion plan 14 and then continues to submit a card plan 13 through a multi-currency bank 15 Because the cardholder has actually been replaced by a second (intermediate) cardholder in the first transaction record, subsequent subsequent transactions by a dynamic currency converter will not cause the The debit of the first cardholder occurred in the case of "duplicate recording twice, '". If so, there is no need to rewrite the software of an acquirer bank to avoid the "double record of debits" like before. Similarly, from the point of view of the acquiring bank handling the transactions handled by the merchant and / or the merchant, it is not necessary to introduce and / or receive Long Ying transactions in order to consolidate and / or calculate the service fee of the merchant. Revise the systems of these acquiring banks. The above method actually produced two transactions, the final result of which is " debit to the cardholder " and " credit to the merchant ", where a third party acts as a holder of a merchant account and a cardholder The intermediary layer of the account. ① 4 ”The merchant account of the intermediary layer will accumulate funds (credit); and the debit of the cardholder account of the 71st layer. In order to prevent the inconsistency of these acquiring banks from the 4th operation period ', it may be necessary to offset the intermediary merchant account: neck and child intermediary cardholder account balance. For example, a daily transfer from the intermediary merchant account to the intermediary cardholder account may be used to perform this action 86669 • 19- 200404242. The account balance can be executed at the end of the mother's day. As the gauze material A 丨 take ^ open account payment and a payment card between the intermediary merchant and the customer (easy for a repayment). The other method is to transfer a transfer transaction from the middle branch to the second branch account and the intermediary layer. If so, in addition to the above-mentioned " producing the second temple and the two temples, which are easy to record, it can also generate a third transaction (as shown in the example of the example). The transaction represents a traditional payment card transaction between the intermediary merchant account and the intermediary voice cardholder account. The third transaction can be submitted to two acquiring banks, such as two children, to pay the money4. As shown in FIG. 7b, in the present invention, the merchant numbers need not be the same. In other words, the virtual merchant should be the same, but the merchant number can be different. Although the invention has been described with respect to an intermediary host, it will be appreciated that the key to the invention lies in the use of an intermediary layer to (appropriately) convert a single payment card transaction into two or more payment card transactions, where the intermediary layer It is used as the joint between two or more individual forks. It will be further explored that the concept can be applied in a number of different ways to achieve the appropriate end result. For example, a single payment card transaction can be divided into two or more transactions on the POS terminal, the intermediate host, or a combination of the two. Although dynamic currency conversion offers great advantages to merchants' foreign customers, some merchants still receive a portion of the additional revenue generated when processing dynamic currency conversion transactions. If so, it is often necessary to determine the merchant's additional revenue based on the value of these dynamic currency transactions being processed. Similarly, compared to a traditional non-converting transaction, the multi-currency bank partner member card responsible for processing such multi-currency payment transactions into the payment card systems is usually 20-200404242. Extra work for an additional fee. Because of the amount of money required to process a multi-currency transaction, it will be known that each transaction requires several settlement measures to ensure that the necessary funds are properly allocated and that a proper balance is generated. The present invention can be modified to include one or more payment card transactions to achieve one or more of the following items. In particular, in order to determine the proportion of any additional revenue generated by individual merchants as a result of dynamic currency conversion transactions, another transaction record can be generated. This other transaction amount (hereinafter referred to as a merchant additional income card transaction) will represent the additional revenue to be distributed to the merchant. The merchant's extra income card transaction is between " the second cardholder (above), or another-virtual cardholder or an association of the currency conversion plan operator, and " the first merchant " between. For convenience ', the individual additional income to be allocated to a merchant can be merged into a single merchant additional income card transaction at the end of each day, week, or month, for example, and the merchant's additional income card transaction record can be recorded Posts are processed in the manner planned by the cards to process a traditional card transaction. Another less-than-optimal method is to let the first-merchant have its own cardholder account, whose Γ can allocate its additional income to the cardholder account, as the second merchant or its The repayment amount of an associated merchant. It is also possible to generate additional forklift records to cover the costs of processing the resident's transaction by the rigid CSP. This transaction (hereinafter referred to as the MBPMCSP transaction) will be paid to the MBPMCSI ^ f representative. The transaction may be between " the second cardholder (above), or another-virtual cardholder or an association of the currency conversion plan operator, and " related to the MBPMCSP Linked merchants 86669 -21-200404242 (account) π. For convenience, these individual fees payable to the MBPMCSP may be combined into a single MPBMCSP card parent, for example, at the end of each day, week, or month. A lesser method is for Jane MBPMCSP to have its own cardholder account, which can be paid into the cardholder account as described above, as a repayment for the second merchant or an associated merchant Amount. In addition, I believe that the main factor driving dynamic currency conversion is that the operator of the dynamic currency conversion program will benefit financially from the additional revenue. However, this additional revenue did cause an imbalance between these different transactions. This can be best explained by an example. Consider the following example: Processing a Japanese cardholder with a very small amount of € 100 at a point of sale. For example, the transaction amount can be reported to the cardholder at an exchange rate of π1 € equal to 119 yen, or "j 190 yen". However, when the transaction of 900 yen is processed and the transaction is returned from the card plan to the king to Yuandong Yuan currency conversion plan operator via the MBPMCSP, the transaction may have been accounted for by the dynamic currency conversion plan. The painting operator converted it to € 103. In fact, € 100 of the total was routed to the merchant to pay the transaction, while the extra € 3 was routed to the operator of the dynamic currency conversion plan, or The operator will deliver the route through the dynamic currency conversion plan. In order to successfully operate the plan, the operator of the dynamic currency conversion plan needs to have a valid hedge account of related currencies such as JL 谠 and, and, another central account of the merchant ’s actual currency (of which, for example, at the time of the European Central Bank , Then the euro) ,,. Although the above method has been explained for the dynamic currency conversion program operator 86669 -22- 200404242 associated with the second cardholder account and the second merchant account, there is another method that will be used in conjunction with these MBPMCSP The account associated with the account is used in the intermediary account that is the MBPMCSP. This can be used advantageously to effectively describe the dynamic currency conversion plan operator's additional income in relation to the X-Ease based on the substantial transactional profitability. In particular, this can be achieved by π deducting the amount of the third transaction 700 (above) by an amount equal to the additional income "and '' generates another transaction equal to the additional income". The other card transaction is between the second (intermediate) merchant and a cardholder account associated with the dynamic currency conversion program operator. Alternatively, the transaction may be executed as a repayment amount from the cardholder account of the second merchant to a merchant account associated with the operator of the dynamic currency conversion plan. It will be appreciated that it is possible to form several combinations of the above-mentioned methods appropriately, and that various changes can be made to the present invention by appropriate amendments without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, in a specific embodiment, the intermediary merchant and / or cardholder may represent the same entity; however, each has a different merchant / cardholder account. This equals the word used in the present invention, including "and", "held / contained," to indicate that it has the stated characteristic, whole, step, or element; however, it does not exclude, 'having or Add one or more other features, wholes, steps, components or groups.
