Abstract
便于基于经销商的交易的交易处理。根据本发明的示例实施例,交易管理方法涉及使用与管理员和资助交易的至少一个经销商相关联的交易规则处理契约方之间的交易的各方面。根据代表管理员以及某些实例中的经销商的交易处理估算费用。
Description
发明领域
本发明针对交易处理,尤其针对涉及代表并集成经销商以及适当的所处理的交易的基于金融贸易的信贷方面处理多个交易的交易处理系统和方法。
背景
买方、卖方、金融机构和为商业目的在产品交换中所涉及的他人之间的契约和交易交互的操作管理通常需要大量的劳力和时间。一般,管理商业实体之间的交易的处理过于繁重和低效。
对众多组织,管理和跟踪交易功能尤其繁重和昂贵。当特定组织与大量供应商/卖方订立契约或交易时,该组织一般必须在单独的基础上与每一供应商/卖方交互。随这些交互的多样性增加,加剧了与管理和跟踪功能相关联的负担和成本。
买方与卖方之间的单独交互通常由特定契约、支付规则和其它金融业务处理特征表征。例如,某些卖方要求诸如特定时间周期内到期的净支付、对特定金融机构支付或以特定货币支付的支付条款。此外,某些卖方对不同的契约要求不同的支付条款。支付条款中的实体专用和交易专用变化尤其难以管理和跟踪。
此外,当交易到达支付步骤时,交易各方的金融机构必须彼此交互。这种交互一般涉及便于解款的复杂协定和关联。有时,可能存在支付的延误或关于支付条款的纠纷。此外,该处理对错误是高度敏感的。交互复杂性、延误和错误以及众多交易支付的其它特征会花费交易的一方或多方(包括金融机构)大量资金。
进行了自动化某些交易处理的尝试,但这些尝试一般限于对一方专用的应用程序的应用,其中处理实现在可控制性和可访问性上受限。当涉及金融机构时,信贷的提供和其它基于金融业务的交易处理一般需要分开的分离处理系统。一般,这样的方法以相当高的成本和复杂性为特征。
交易的管理和协作中的以上和其它难点表现为对包括交易的处理和金融业务方面的交易各方面所涉及的实体的行政和成本的挑战。
概述
本发明旨在克服上述挑战以及与上述及其它各类型的处理方法和应用相关的其它问题。本发明以多种实现和应用例示,将在以下概述其中的某些。
根据本发明的示例实施例,使用分开的核心和操作处理实现来便于基于交易的处理。核心处理器实现主管多个操作处理实现,便于因此进行交易并根据交易便利措施估算费用。每一操作处理实现是经销商专用的,每一经销商使用其操作处理实现结合核心处理实现以便于代表多个顾客进行交易。
在某些应用中,以对于核心处理实现和操作处理实现之一或两者的一般专有的方式维护处理功能和/或数据存储功能。就此方面,维护了由核心和操作处理实现所实现的选定处理功能和/或数据,使得访问被限于各自操作核心和操作实现的管理员和/或经销商。核心与操作实现之间的交换一般针对由各个实现使用来执行其各自功能的信息的交换。
根据本发明的另一示例实施例,自动交易处理系统代表多个经销商处理契约方之间的交易并对其筹资。每一经销商与处理交易并对其筹资的控制方签订协定,交易规则集根据每一经销商与由经销商资助的契约方之间的交易协定定义。自动交易处理系统包括多个经销商中的每一个的经销商处理器实现,每一实现适于根据交易中所涉及的契约方的至少其中之一的交易规则集为每一交易审计交易数据。核心处理器根据每一经销商与控制方之间的交易协定代表多个经销商控制每一经销商处理器的实现。由控制方实现的交易金融处理器便于根据对每一交易的审计对每一交易筹资,使用费处理器根据代表每一经销商处理的交易估算费用。经销商处理器实现、核心处理器、交易金融处理器和使用费处理器中的一个或多个在公共位置和/或分布式位置中的公共交易配置中实现。
本发明的以上概述不旨在描述本发明的每一示出的实施例或每个实现。以下附图和详细描述更具体地例示了这些实施例。

本发明可经受各种修改和替换形式,而其细节作为示例在附图中示出并将被详细描述。然而,应理解,本发明不旨在限于所描述的特定实施例。相反,旨在覆盖落入由所附权利要求书定义的本发明的精神和范围内的所有修改、等效实施方式和替换。
详细描述
本发明被相信可应用于各种不同类型的交易处理和管理方法,并被发现对涉及以分布式的方式处理交易数据的应用尤其有用。尽管本发明不必限于这样的方法,但本发明的各个方面可通过使用这些和其它环境的各个示例的讨论而被理解。
根据本发明的另一个示例实施例,交易处理系统包括基于管理员的核心功能和多个基于经销商的操作功能。核心功能与多个基于经销商的操作功能交互,以便分开处理每一操作功能专用的交易。即,多个基于经销商的操作功能之一的每一组合与核心功能操作来为实现该操作功能的经销商实现一组交易处理器功能。交易处理系统使用每一操作功能的商业规则对实现相应的操作功能的特定经销商定制分开处理的交易。就此方面,根据经销商的商业规则,实现与交易处理系统的管理有关的商业规则,所选处理功能为由经销商指定的交易而实现。交易处理系统便于为每一交易支付,并对交易的一方或多方估算处理费用。
每一操作功能或其各方面,由网络系统所有者或实现核心功能的控制方在实现操作功能的经销商的专有位置处或由经销商自行决定的位置处实现。在某些应用中,以公共处理器或实现两个或多个处理器的处理器配置实现核心和操作功能。例如,每一经销商可实现用于接收并初始处理供在基于管理员的处理器处使用的数据的功能,该数据被发送给基于管理员的处理器,这实现了处理交易数据的基于经销商和核心功能两者的操作功能。在此方面,在经销商专有位置处实现的操作功能可独立于在管理员位置处实现的那些功能起效,适当的数据在经销商位置处提供。
在某些应用中,核心和操作处理实现为不同交易机构所专有。例如,当网络系统所有者提供交易处理系统和核心处理实现时,对核心处理实现的访问和控制以网络系统控制方所有者专有的方式实现。当经销商提供定制的操作处理实现时,操作处理实现中的某些或全部被维护为该经销商专有。就此方面,网络系统所有者限制经销商对核心处理实现的访问。类似地,当某些处理功能以相对经销商专有的方式被维护时,经销商可限制网络系统所有者(或其他参与者)对操作处理实现中的某些方面的访问。准许核心处理器对操作处理实现选择性的访问以便于交易(例如,用于提取交易数据或仅通过接收发送给核心处理实现的交易数据)。
为便于如上所述的各种配置以及与核心和操作处理实现的交互,使用各种方法来适应特定应用。例如,相对简单的应用涉及为不同经销商使用公共处理器,每一经销商专用的数据被用于为该经销商创建操作处理实现。另一应用涉及为不同经销商使用公共处理器,处理器调用为每一经销商定制的特殊程序设计以便为该经销商处理交易。又一应用涉及使用离散的处理器,它为特定经销商实现并以为该经销商定制的交易功能编程。在这些应用的每一个中,操作(经销商)处理实现与核心功能通过接口连接。
根据本发明的另一示例实施例,主机处理器配置结合多个经销商处理器实现基于规则的交易处理方法以便自动处理交易。每一经销商处理器与特定经销商相关联,并依此操作,每一特定经销商资助交易方进入主机处理器配置的使用。经销商处理器向主机处理器配置提供信息,后者使用信息来代表经销商实现交易功能。在某些应用中,主机和经销商处理器在公共(本地链接或共享)的交易处理器配置中一起实现。在其它应用中,主机和经销商处理器在远离的位置处实现,经由诸如因特网的公共网络实现通信。
主机处理器使用为每一经销商定制的交易处理规则,代表每一经销商管理交易处理的各方面。主机处理器根据至少一个经销商机构的商业规则实现交易方中的两个或多个之间的交易的所选方面(例如,交易和/或金融业务管理),以便于交易方的交易。在某些应用中,主机处理器根据不同的经销商的商业规则实现两个或多个交易方之间的交易的所选方面,其中不同的经销商中的每一个便于代表这两个或多个交易方的至少其中之一进行交易。就此方面,主机处理器便于每一经销商的一般独立处理功能,以及适当地用作相对于每一经销商的客户的一般沉默的交易伙伴。
为每一经销商定制的处理功能使用由每一特定经销商指导的各种方法中的一个或多个便于客户(买方和/或卖方)之间的交易,诸如通过处理交易数据、管理交易方销售和/或营销方法或通过对交易个体和/或群体的各方面筹资。对由经销商促进的每一特定交易,交易方的至少其中之一是经销商的客户,在某些实例中,公共交易的各方是不同经销商的客户。在某些应用中,经销商客户是资助个别交易方进入由经销商提供的系统的资助客户。就此方面,每一资助客户经由经销商订购系统,从而向个别交易方(他在资助客户订购的情况下不必订购系统)提供关于订购的服务。
在本发明的另一示例实施例中,中央交易管理系统使用与资助交易方参与者和/或订购交易方(例如,由参与者资助的买方、卖方)相关联的商业规则(例如,包含在概况文件信息中)以处理涉及订购交易方的交易。资助交易方通常借助资助进入中央交易管理系统来实现各种功能,包括在买方、卖方、发货人和运货人中的一个或多个的环境中资助相关的功能,在某些应用中与交易的金融业务方面相关的功能。
由中央交易管理系统处理的交易一般涉及商品,即货物和/或服务,以订购交易方与可能被资助或未被资助的另一方之间的协定为特征。当交易的产品涉及诸如提供贸易信贷、担保、信用证期限延长和货币兑换等时,某些交易基于金融服务(或货物,同样考虑)。
由中央交易管理系统处理的其它交易附属于如上所述涉及货物和/或服务的交易。例如,当网络所有者、分配网络功能的网络管理者、资助订户的参与者或订户自身参与交易的一般处理有关的协定时,这些协定的条款由中央交易管理系统实现。对于这些附属服务,交易产品(相对于上述商品)涉及诸如自动交易处理本身、记录保管、会计、费用分类、总分类帐记入和管理、一致性报告和数据管理等。
在某些应用中,资助参与者与网络管理者订立契约供中央交易管理系统使用,这又是网络所有者提供的。在某些应用中,网络所有者也用作提供系统的操作方面的网络管理者,这些操作方面供由资助参与者以及其它网络管理者及其相应的资助参与者使用。在这种环境中,网络管理者向资助参与者分配中央交易管理系统的基于订购的使用,资助参与者又拉动订户客户。与中央交易管理系统的使用相关联的费用在关于系统使用的分配的分层结构的一层或多层处估算,关于这些费用的契约责任一般在分层结构的相邻层次之间运作。例如,订户客户一般对资助参与者负有责任,后者又对网络管理者负有责任。
当中央交易管理系统接收交易信息时,为标识可与提供交易信息或以其它方式涉及与交易信息有关的交易的资助参与者和订户相关联的特征解析信息。当这些标识特征匹配特定资助参与者时,中央交易管理系统使用资助参与者的商业规则处理交易。此外,当交易的不同订户方的标识特征匹配不同的资助参与者时,每一订户方专用的交易的各方面根据该订户方相应的资助参与者被处理。与交易相关的资金根据与每一订户方的资助参与者以及订户方自身相关联的商业规则和交易的特定特征转移。
在涉及分配网络功能的网络管理者、资助订户(交易方)的参与资助者和订户本身的某些处理应用中,中央交易管理系统使这一系列各方与所接收的交易信息关联。例如,当“买方A”与“资助者B”订立契约以代表该买方处理交易,且资助者B与“网络管理者C”订立契约供中央交易管理系统使用时,这些各方与对于涉及买方A的交易接收的交易文档关联。与这些各方相关联的商业规则被用于处理交易,各方之间的分层关系被用于相对于影响交易处理的个别契约特征确定金融业务和其它责任。
中央交易管理系统还为契约和/或规章目的适当地隔离信息。例如,当多个网络管理者向资助参与者分配交易处理功能时,每一网络管理者的处理功能相对于其他网络管理者被分开维护。类似地,在经由特定网络管理者向资助参与者提供的一组处理功能中,特别涉及个体参与者的信息中的某些或全部相对于其他资助参与者分开维护。此外,每一资助参与者选择性地为其订户相对于其他订户分开维护数据。由此管制对数据的访问,以维护机密数据,还可遵循管制型一致性规则,即减少不合适的价格特征或其它竞争型问题的任何可能。
在另一实施例中,中央交易管理系统以在各方中功能性分布来实现,某些方在两个或多个功能层次上操作。使用涉及分配网络功能的网络管理者、资助订户(交易方)的参与资助者以及订户自身的以上示例,这种操作涉及这些各方中的一个或多个在两个或多个层次上操作。在一个示例应用中,网络管理者也用作参与资助者,直接资助订户方同时也对其它资助者分配网络处理功能,其它资助者又资助其它订户方。
如适当和/或所需,在两个或多个层次上运作的特定双实体(dual-entity)的操作特征在物理和/或功能上分离。例如,当实体如上所述用作网络管理者以及参与资助者时,限制了双实体的参与资助者操作(例如,编程的处理器实现)对双实体的网络管理者操作可用的信息的访问的能力。就此方面,当特定资助者作为竞争者参与公共业务时,也用作网络管理者的参与资助者实体相对于中央交易管理系统的关系被配置成限制对其竞争者的信息的访问。而且,该限制跨各个竞争者应用以限制探知期望分开保存的定价和/或其它交易相关信息的能力。实现该限制性的方法,同时维护对双实体的网络管理者功能的访问,以便代表其参与资助者并适当地为管制目的处理交易功能。
使用各种方法中的一个或多个存储使用中央交易管理系统的处理中所涉及的各方专用的商业规则和其它信息。例如,可使用可由中央交易管理系统访问并具有使商业规则与特定一方关联的标签或其它标识特征的数据库。该数据库在物理上可以对中央交易管理系统是本地或远程的,中央交易管理系统访问数据库并控制其它实体对该数据库的访问。
如上所述包括结合核心和操作功能讨论的那些在内的处理功能可在单个位置或跨多个位置实现。中央处理器的某些功能适当地在彼此通信耦合的不同的可访问位置处实现。此外,中央处理器的功能可在交易分层结构中的各个层次实现,诸如使用网络管理经销商方或使用作为金融结构的客户和/或由其资助的交易方。
图1示出了根据本发明的另一示例实施例,具有在管理、分配和订购层次的多层交易交互的交易处理的配置和方法100。配置和方法100实现便于为系统订户交易处理的交易处理器110。
交易处理器110包括跨在交易处理器110内操作的各方(及其相关联的交易或被资助的交易)全局地实现所编程的功能的核心处理器112。网络所有者管理员140建立了这些核心功能,还实现并提供对交易处理器110的控制。关于核心处理器、其功能和可操作性的信息被存储在交易处理器110可访问的数据库120中。数据库120也存储关于配置100的特定用户的信息,包括用户的概况文件和/或商业规则,以及属于这些用户所涉及的交易的契约118-N。所存储的信息被用于处理交易以及适当地认证传入的交易数据。
数据库120以各种方式实现。例如,尽管被示为位于远离交易处理器110,但数据库120选择性地与交易处理器集成和/或在不同位置处实现。此外,尽管被示为实现为单个配置,但数据库120可包括若干功能和/或物理配置,对交易处理器110本地或远程的均可。
网络所有者管理员140经由指定如例如由概况文件/商业规则114-N和契约118-N定义的交易处理特征的能力向诸如网络管理者130-N和160-N的多个网络管理者分配对交易处理器110所选方面的控制。这些网络管理者分开实现交易处理器110,网络管理者的客户(例如,如以下进一步描述的资助者和/或订户)功能上查看如便于处理的网络管理者专用的处理功能。就此方面,对每一网络管理者制作经销商处理器,该经销商处理器与核心处理器112一起操作来代表网络管理者向资助者及其订户提供交易处理功能。即,核心处理器112与每一经销商处理器交互来提供核心功能和网络管理者专用操作功能两者。就此方面,每一网络管理者的经销商处理器提供对特定网络管理者特别定制的处理功能,由每一经销商处理器生成和/或处理的交易数据被传给核心处理器112。
在某些应用中,结合交易处理器110存储、编程或以其它方式实现网络管理者的经销商处理器。作为示例,各个经销商处理器116-N被相应地示为以交易处理器110实现。在其它应用中,为特定网络管理者实现远程经销商处理器150(例如,在诸如其营业场所的网络管理者位置处)。在其它应用中,特定网络管理者的经销商处理器的若干部分在交易处理器110内实现(经销商处理器116-N之一),该特定网络管理者的经销商处理器的其它部分被远程实现。这样的远程经销商处理器功能可使用远程经销商处理器150和/或在网络管理者位置130-N之一处实现。
尽管被示为独立的处理器实现,但核心和经销商处理器112和116-N选择性地可在公共处理器中实现,具有用于隔离或以其它方式区分核心和操作处理特征的选择性控制。例如,当专有处理功能编程到特定网络管理者的经销商处理器中时,这些功能被排他地维护,使得网络所有者管理者140对访问经销商处理器功能受限。不考虑配置和对其访问,来自这些经销商处理器116-N的输出被发送至核心处理器112。交易处理器110适当地使用相关联的安全型准则实现对经销商处理器116-N的通信链接以确保与每一经销商处理器的机密、稳健的通信。
与交易处理器110交互的网络管理者为各个功能向网络参与者(资助者)分配交易处理服务。网络管理者130-N分配给买方、卖方和金融机构参与者131-136(由示例示出,构想了其它参与者),网络管理者160向金融机构170-N排他地分配金融业务功能。参与者中的每一个又相对于不同的交易向包括买方、卖方和金融机构的客户提供对交易处理器110的访问。
在某些应用中,便于附属于交易的其它客户经由资助参与者、网络管理者或网络所有者管理员进行访问。例如,为确保遵循诸如可应用于会计实务、海关和国家安全的规章的目的,可准许某些管制实体对所选交易方面的访问。尽管特定分层交易层次处的实体便于这种访问,但这种访问一般经由交易处理器110实现,核心和/或经销商处理器例如根据安全性信息和标识准许访问的实体的信息管理数据访问。
参考由网络管理者130-N执行的一般网络管理者功能,经由这些网络管理者访问交易处理器110的参与者包括卖方参与资助者131和133、买方参与资助者132和134以及金融机构参与资助者136。这些参与者的每一个资助订户进入系统,作为示例示出少量所选订户,包括经由金融机构参与者136订购的订户1-N和经由买方资助者134订购的买方订户1-N。这些订户中的每一个提供涉及该订户的交易契约相关的信息,存储契约供交易处理器110访问使用(例如,契约118-N被存储在数据库120中)。
交易处理器110为每一订户分开维护契约信息、商业规则和/或概况文件114-N,并在处理涉及该订户的交易中实现这些信息。交易处理器110通过限制例如不同网络管理者、资助参与者、订户或适当的网络所有者管理员140对其进行访问来为商业规则和概况文件114-N维护分开、安全的存储。
也使用对于可应用契约信息的每一实例的层次限制的访问来维护契约信息118-N。例如,当契约信息属于买方参与者133与买方订户135之间的协定时,对该契约信息的访问被限于网络管理者和买方资助者中的一个或两者。也对交易处理器110中通向参与的链路中较高层次的参与者适当地提供访问(例如,网络管理者130和/或网络所有者管理员140被准许访问关于买方资助者134与买方订户135之间的契约的信息)。
当要处理交易数据时,认证或以其它方式使传入的数据与对应于信息发送者和/或该发送者所涉及的交易的信息关联。例如,当买方订户135经由网络管理者N呈报定单信息时,可按照各种方式实现认证。在一个应用中,交易处理器110存储并使用买方订户135的概况文件信息以认证定单信息。在另一应用中,网络管理者N认证定单信息并将该消息传递给交易处理器110,后者由根据网络管理者N所存储的概况文件信息认证所传递的信息。一旦接收并认证了定单信息之后,定单信息被用于便于交易处理(例如,便于对类似接收和认证的发票的支付,定单信息被用于审计发票中所指定的支付数额)。
如上所述,数据库120可包括分开的数据存储位置,其中的一部分可例如在网络管理者或其它远程节点处实现。就此方面,某些商业规则、概况文件和/或契约信息被选择性地存储在与特定交易的分层结构的链路中交互的其它节点处。例如,使用涉及买方订户135的以上实例,买方订户135和资助买方参与者134之间的契约的契约信息被选择性地存储在资助买方参与者134、网络管理者130或交易处理器110的相关位置中的一个或多个处。当远程存储商业规则、概况文件和/或契约信息时,准许交易处理器110对这些规则的访问以选择性地实现这些规则。在某些应用中,通过根据对涉及规则所应用的参与者的特定交易的特定处理向交易处理器110提供规则来准予对规则的访问。就此方面,对规则的更新或其它改变可由网络管理者代表其参与者加以管理。
在众多应用中,概况文件、商业规则和交易处理器110的其它编程特征实现与交易方之间和交易处理分层结构的不同层次处操作员之间的契约相关联的规则,以便代表交易方处理交易信息。例如,由特定资助参与者的客户订户提供的交易数据(例如,诸如发票或其它财务文档的基于交易的文档)与资助参与者自动关联。交易数据(以及订户)与特定处理经销商的关联可涉及例如,使用交易数据提供的标识信息以便直接标识资助参与者或用于标识订户,以及又使用信息以便使所标识的订户与资助参与者关联。然后,根据相关的商业规则和/或概况文件处理交易文档。
系统用户与交易处理器110交互,以便提供交易相关信息,诸如金融处理规则、会计规则、定单、发票、装运文件、支付权限数据、支付执行数据、海关文件、安全文件及其它。在某些应用中,该信息直接由个别用户(例如订户137-N和170-N)提供,或经由导向与交易处理器110的交互的分层结构链路中的其它用户,诸如经由管理者和资助参与者提供。此外,该交易相关信息可包括用于使规则的应用关联交易数据的信息,诸如支付处理、信贷增加和财务收费。
此处结合以上图1及其它讨论的用户概况文件和/或商业规则可包括供交易管理和金融处理中使用的各种信息。例如,除上述方法以外,概况文件可包括以下数据中的一个或多个:帐户的总分类帐表、提交契约或交易数据的计算机系统的标识、顾客列表、厂商列表、金融机构列表、契约和价格审核策略、交易审核策略、商业规则、操作角色(例如定义与该角色相关联的用户可执行何种功能)、组织分层结构(例如,定义与特定组织节点相关联的用户可访问公司的多少数据)以及个别用户。金融机构概况文件也可包括还从金融机构的角度定义所选顾客或其它处理经销商与金融处理组织之间的商业关系的信息。
在某些实例中,金融机构订户提供存储在数据库120中的规则,其它用户仅在由金融机构订户提供的规则下与交易处理器110交互(例如,不提供供存储在数据库120中的任何信息)。当特定金融机构是资助参与者(例如,参与者136)时,其订户可以或可以不使商业规则和/或概况文件存储在数据库120中,就此方面可代表资助参与者类似地使用所存储的规则。
再次参考涉及买方订户135的以上示例讨论,交易处理器110使用买方订户与另一交易方(例如,卖方)之间的契约处理对涉及该买方订户的交易的支付。使用例如交易处理器110中实现的交易金融处理器功能选择性地实现支付,直接从特定交易方和/或经由代表特定交易方增加信贷来便于支付。交易处理器110对交易和/或一个或多个交易方估算用于处理的一个或多个费用并收取该费用。对费用的征收例如直接从对交易进行的支付或通过发放信用等级或通过诸如在与买方或另一交易相关联的总分类帐中帐户可支付字段中在会计字段中记入条目来实现。
分层结构的不同层次处的操作员之间的契约表征关系被用于分配和另外处理上述估算的费用。例如,再次使用涉及买方订户135的示例,买方订户135与资助买方参与者134之间的契约可指定可对买方订户135将交易支付的某一百分数(例如,1%)估算为处理费用。该处理费用可直接向资助买方参与者134征收和分配。
核心和操作处理实现112和116-N各自交互操作(interoperate)以实现上述费用处理方法(例如,以使用费处理器实现)。例如,当由核心处理器112实现解款,但资金数额(例如,与交易处理费相关)或其它解款相关特征的确定由经销商处理器确定时,经销商处理器向核心处理器112提供解款必需的这种信息。就此方面,可选择性地为特定费用处理方法定制每一经销商处理器,而核心处理器112适于在不同的交易方之中全局地进行费用处理。经销商处理器116-N和150中的每一个因此被编程来与核心处理器112通过接口连接,如同核心处理器具有经销商处理器中的每一个。
以核心(112)和/或经销商处理器(116-N和150)实现的处理结构特别相对于各层次的操作实体之间的契约实现。例如,当正处理的交易数额被用于估算费用时,对订户估算的费用可以是基于交易的。通向网络所有者管理员的交易处理链路中的分层结构的其它层次处的费用可根据经由通过交易处理器110参与交易的特定实体的客户促成的一组交易类似地实现。其它方法涉及固定费用或分级(tiered)费用,例如其中实体按循环特征支付固定费用,或与被资助或经由交易处理器110促成的交易的数额相关的分级费用。
在某些应用中,以专有的方式实现所选费用处理功能,例如其中核心和经销商处理器的其中之一或两者均彼此独立地处理基于费用的功能,且适当地限制对处理功能、输入或输出的访问。例如,核心处理器112可对其实现关于每一网络管理者的费用处理的能力进行限制,其中代表该网络管理者的顾客处理的费用在网络管理者的经销商处理器处进行处理。就此方面,网络管理者专有的特定费用处理功能对核心处理器112不可用,从而对网络所有者管理员不可用。
在其中实现专有处理的交易中,在维护某些必要信息的专有性方面的完整性的同时,这些必要信息在核心和经销商处理器之间选择性地交换。例如,当交易处理器110为特定买方与卖方之间的交易解款时,诸如买方和/或卖方的名字、交易中所涉及的货物和/或服务以及交易条款等信息保持与核心处理器112分开。包括特定交换中直接涉及或作为资助参与者或管理者涉及的那些在内的交易方的概况文件/商业规则,被用于管理和实现各种方法来维护信息的专有性本质。
核心和操作处理实现112和116-N的互操作各自也实行来以结合以上费用处理方法讨论的类似方式实现其它基于交易的功能。例如,在交易处理器110实现会计型功能时,各种单独的功能在核心处理器112和经销商处理器之一或两者上实现,在两个处理器之间存在协调管制(handoff)以便于实现功能所必需的数据传送。
取决于应用,金融机构网络管理者160及其订户金融机构170-N以各种方式参与配置100。在某些应用中,一个或多个金融机构向与交易处理器110一起操作的某些参与者、网络管理者和订户提供金融资源。例如,与交易处理器110的操作相关联的资金及其使用由金融机构170-N中的一个或多个根据交易方的请求和/或涉及交易处理器的协定选择性地提供。就此方面,与交易处理器110的特定操作相关联的费用由所选金融机构如适当地对交易中所涉及的实体(如在该实体的概况文件或商业规则中所指定)担保、转移或以其它方式处理。
在某些应用中,金融机构170-N经由用作金融处理经销商的网络管理者160与基于金融机构分配系统中的交易处理器110交互,还资助与金融机构170-N之一交互的买方和卖方。该方法与结合与本申请同时提交的美国专利申请No.(USBA.132PA)中讨论的方法一致的方式实现,该申请要求以上引用的美国临时专利申请第60/578,375的优先权,它通过引用被完全包含在此。
在某些应用中,由网络管理者130-N之一资助的订户使用由金融机构170-N之一结合交易处理器110提供的金融处理功能。在某些实施例中,订户与金融机构170-N之一或金融机构网络管理者160建立直接的关系。在其它实施例中,订户在交易处理器110的指导下雇佣金融机构170-N之一,例如其中交易处理器110便于对多个订户提供贸易信贷并且直接提供信贷或者向一个或多个金融机构或金融机构网络管理者出售贸易信贷中任一。信贷在此意义上涉及代表买方向卖方或相关交易方支付,向买方提供与支付相当的信贷,并最终向买方征收支付及任何相关联的费用。信贷的提供和相关处理自动执行,使用商业规则和/或用户概况文件适当对交易及相关联的费用支付和收费;在某些实例中,也执行与这样的支付和信贷期限延长相关的审计以确保支付是适当的,也使用费用。此外,使用诸如与买卖交易方中的一个或多个或资助买卖交易方之一的经销商(或其它)资助方有关的信用等级的信贷条款选择性地对信贷延长期限。
如由图1中所示的通信链路所指示的,将买方订户135-N用作示例,这些订户中的每一个可与金融机构网络管理者160和金融机构170-N之一或两者直接交互。指示这种关系的契约信息与契约118-N一起存储在数据库120中,并由交易处理器110来使用以便于代表买方订户135-N对交易的金融业务方面的处理。
再次参考买方订户135-N,交易处理器110根据交易处理器110以及订户经其访问交易处理器的适当的其它网络管理者和资助参与者的指导便于订户中的每一个与金融机构170-N(以及金融机构网络管理者160)中的一个或多个的选择性交互。买方订户135-N中的每一个的概况文件和/或商业规则被用于标识、表征或以其它方式便于这种选择性的交互,交易的金融业务方面因而使用金融机构170-N中的一个或多个进行处理。
在另一示例实施例力中,用交易处理器110内含或远程地维护监视系统180,并监视器对各种处理实现的访问。使得监视系统180的活动在对为网络管理者或其顾客执行的特定处理功能集公开的环境中按选择性的公开特征是可用的。就此方面,网络所有者管理员140和网络管理者两者均可确保其专有功能被保护。例如,当网络管理者130开发了在经销商处理器160处实现的操作程序设计时,监视系统180监视经销商处理器与交易处理器110的各方面之间的交互。网络所有者管理员140和网络管理者130两者均可访问由监视系统180相对于经销商处理器116存储的信息,监视系统使示出对经销商处理器的访问但未示出经销商处理器专有内容或其它方面的信息可用。在某些应用中,监视系统180也监视与核心处理器112的交互。在此方面,在便于对交易处理器110的选择性监视的同时,维护了机密操作。
在某些实现中,对监视系统180编程以提供可由管制实体访问的数据,以便诸如通过确保遵循了反竞争规章(anti-competitive regulations)来确保从管制角度维护了信息的机密性。例如,当两个或多个实体在特定市场中操作并使用交易处理器110实现他们各自的交易时,确保每一实体被排斥访问与两个或多个实体中他人和其它客户之间的交易相关的定价信息是重要的。在这样的情况中,监视系统180监视对定价信息的访问,并生成数据供适当的管制实体使用(或在期望对数据访问的情况下仅用于由交易处理器110记帐)。在某些应用中,监视系统180为评估目的生成数据并将该数据发送给特定的管制实体。
对关于数据交换的一般信息和对可根据此处的这个或其它示例实施例实现的数据交换的特定引用的方法,可对于2005年5月3日提交的美国专利申请第11/120,629(USBA.123PA)号进行参考,该申请要求于2004年6月9日提交的名为“Automated Transaction Processing System and Approach(自动交易处理系统和方法)”的优先权,这两个申请均通过引用完全包含在此。
除以上示例以外,核心(112)和操作(116-N和150)处理器的实现可按照对特定处理特征定制或供使用多个网络管理者、资助参与者和订户的处理通用的各种方式实现。对关于交易的一般信息处理方法和对交易处理器110根据各个示例实施例实现的关于交易的特定信息处理实现,可对以下专利文献进行参考,这些专利文件中的每一个均通过引用包含在此:皆属于Hahn-Carlson的美国专利第5,910,896号、第6,571,149号、第6,697,702号以及第6,704,612号;美国专利申请第10/436,878(USBA.101PA)号;以及美国临时专利申请第60/578,375号。例如,当核心处理器112授权支付时,使用由交易各方商定的契约规则选择性地实现诸如在前述专利文献中讨论的那些的审计处理,以得到交易的支付条款,该条款被用于方便支付。
图2示出了根据本发明的另一示例实施例,在交易方之中交易管理的流程图。图2中所示的方法可例如根据诸如图1中所示的配置或实现交易处理功能的类似配置实现。该流程图示出接收和处理交易数据所遵循的示例过程,诸如指示支付条件满足(例如,具有支付权限的发票,或其中根据用户概况文件和商业规则自动审核发票)的那些过程。
在框210处,接收交易数据,它包括含有用于使交易数据与诸如买方或卖方订户、资助参与者和/或网络管理者等适当用户关联的足够的标识信息的信息。在框220处,将交易数据中的标识信息与概况文件信息进行比较以确定数据是否与特定交易管理用户相关联。如果在框230处没有找到匹配,则在框235处向交易数据的发送者返回失败通知。例如,如果用户未订购处理服务,或交易文件中的标识信息不正确,则向发送者和/或与发送者相关联的交易方(例如,经由交易文件或经由所存储的概况文件数据供使用的信息标识)发送指示此的失败通知。此外,如果发送者对交易处理服务的订购期满,或如果发送者经其访问服务的资助方类似地期满,则交易数据不能被处理,并在框235处发送适当的失败通知。
如果在框230处找到匹配,则在框240处使交易数据与对应于交易标识信息和所匹配的概况文件信息的商业规则相关联。与交易数据相关联的商业规则可包括来自一个或多个交易方的那些,包括例如交易方的发送者、与交易相关联的订户方和/或经其订户方访问交易管理系统的资助/促成交易方的商业规则。
当标识了适当的商业规则并使之与交易数据关联之后,在框250处使用相关联的商业规则处理交易数据。这种处理涉及多个交易功能中的一个或多个,诸如定单审核、发票审核、支付授权、支付开始及例如本文献中所述的其它。
当交易到达支付阶段时,如由框210处接收的交易数据和/或由框250处基于商业规则的处理促成,在框260处处理支付。支付处理一般涉及使用与交易数据相关联的商业规则,以及标识分层结构层次上代表参与交易中的一个或多个订户资助交易处理的交易方的相关联的概况文件信息。作为示例参考图1,这样的分层关系包括订户、资助参与者、网络管理者和网络所有者管理员,经由交易处理器110便于交易处理。
图3示出了根据本发明的另一示例实施例,涉及支付和/或与交易相关联的费用的处理的交易处理的流程图。以诸如此处所讨论的多个方法实现图3中所示的方法。例如,以图3中所示的方法中的一个或多个选择性地实现图2的框260处实现的支付处理。类似地,也使用这样的方法选择性地实现根据图1中所示和讨论的示例实施例实现的支付处理。为讨论的目的,以下结合图3进行的描述针对涉及买方和卖方的交易,交易的支付由(或代表)买方向卖方(或卖方的金融机构和/或基于信贷的帐户)进行。这样的交易一般包括货物和/或服务,买方根据卖方对货物/服务的提供或正进行的交易中商定的点上对此支付。
以框310开始,对与特定交易文件相关联的所有分层交易促成者检索支付相关规则以及适当的契约数据。例如,参考图1,当买家订户135通过发送包括对货物的接受或其它支付授权类型信息的交易数据来开始对交易的支付时,该数据被解析并被用于标识交易促成者。在此实例中,促成者包括资助买方参与者134、网络管理者N和网络所有者管理员140;与这些各方中每一个相关联的商业规则以及表征这些各方之间的关系的适当的契约信息被检索。
使用所检索的信息,在框320处标识卖方对资助卖家参与者欠付的费用。这些费用可涉及,例如对根据交易解款的数额的估算的基于百分数的费用。在框330处,处理从买方提供的资金到卖方的支付。支付减去对资助卖方使用该交易处理方法的卖方参与者欠付的费用数目。
在框340处,向网络管理者标识对资助卖家参与者欠付的费用,对其欠付的费用在框320处标识。这些费用可例如在交易专用基础上(例如,作为购买价格的百分数)、在分级基础上(例如,使用与交易数额的分级相关联的费用等级)作为每个交易固定的费用或作为每个周期固定的费用施加。使用这些方法中的一个或多个,在框350处对资助卖方参与者估算费用(例如,通过指示所欠费用或当直接应用时,通过在框330处影响支付处理功能,如以下进一步所述)。
在框360处处理从(或代表)资助卖方参与者到网络管理者的费用转移。当直接从资助卖方参与者处理费用时,对来自相关联的银行帐户和/或信贷额度的资金解款。当间接处理时,可在对资助卖方参与者传递支付之前,将资金从由订购卖方提供的资金中提取。
在框370处,根据在框310处接收对其支付相关规则的交易,对网络管理者估算费用。如上结合框350处估算的费用描述,使用诸如涉及基于百分数、分级或固定费用的方法中的一个或多个的那些的各种方法中的一个或多个估算费用。在框380处实现对所估算的费用的费用转移,费用转到网络所有者管理员型实体以便于交易处理。
图4示出了根据本发明的另一示例实施例,用于分开和集成地处理交易的核心和操作处理功能的流程图。图4中所示的方法,与图2和图3中上述流程图一样,使用也在以上讨论的诸如图1中所示的系统选择性地实现。从而,以下讨论的某些方法作为示例参考图1,这些方法可应用于多个交易处理系统和方法。
图4中所示的方法实现数据关联处理器420和基于规则的交易处理器430,这两者均访问数据库配置401中所存储的信息,数据库配置401可以是单个数据库,或使用适当地位于不同位置的不同的数据库实现。数据库配置401中所存储的信息包括例如由订购和/或资助交易方提供的用户概况文件402、分层机构关联数据403和商业规则404。用户概况文件402一般包括单个用户专用的信息,诸如用户的标识、安全性信息(用于访问/使用交易处理方法)、财务信息(例如,资金来源和/或储备)和偏好信息。在此环境中,用户涉及使用实体用户,诸如企业以及个体用户,他们可代表他们自己或代表这样的实体行动。分层关联数据403包括标识与特定用户和资助方相关联的分层结构的信息,在某些实例中,使用用户概况文件402直接实现,或链接至此(例如,使用代码或其它标识信息)。商业规则404包括用于处理交易的信息,诸如指示契约条款、支付审核策略及其它的信息。
当在数据关联处理器420处接收到交易数据410时,向数据库401进行对概况文件数据以及分层关联数据的请求。这些请求例如通过当数据管理处理器420可本地访问数据库时直接访问数据库配置401,或使用例如与数据库配置相关联的控制方进行。当数据库配置401以两个或多个分开的数据库实现得以实现时,请求相应地定向到可服务该请求的适当数据库实现。
响应于请求,数据库配置401返回用户概况文件数据422和分层关联数据424。数据关联处理器420使提供交易数据410的特定用户(例如,订购卖方)与交易以及诸如资助参与者和网络管理者的分层资助用户进入该交易处理方法的实体相关联。在某些应用中,用户概况文件402包括资助者以及用户的概况文件信息,它们或者位于同一概况文件中或通过链接至另一资助者概况文件。
一旦用户概况文件和分层关联数据与交易数据相关联之后,相关联的交易数据425被提供给基于规则的交易处理器430。核心处理器432和多个操作(例如,经销商)处理器434-N以类似于根据图1的核心和经销商处理器示出和描述的类似功能的方式为基于规则的交易处理器430实现处理功能。核心处理器432实现由诸如网络所有者管理员的上层分层实体设置的处理功能。操作处理器434-N中的每一个实现由诸如网络管理者的资助型分层实体设置的处理功能。这些核心和操作处理器在不同的位置处和/或使用以专有方式维护的某些处理功能和/或信息选择性地实现。就此方面,某些操作处理功能在为处理相关联的交易数据435(即,为向核心处理器提供交易信息)而便于与核心处理器432交互的同时,独立于核心处理器432维护。
当接收到相关联的交易数据425之后,核心处理器432向数据库401(或另一数据库实现)发送商业规则请求,后者返回与所标识的用户概况文件422和分层关联数据424相关联的商业规则433。商业规则433包括表征操作处理器434-N中的一个或多个的使用及其与核心处理器432的实现的信息。就此方面,核心处理器432实现根据由数据关联处理器420检索到的分层关联数据402标识的从与一个或多个上层交易促成者相关联的商业规则中所选的规则。核心处理器使用与上层分层实体相关联的规则,为此实现核心处理器432以处理相关联的交易数据425。在某些应用中,操作处理器434在处理相关联的交易数据425所属于的交易的指定特征时类似地实现从商业规则404中所选的规则。由核心处理器432和一个或多个操作处理器434-N进行的这种处理包括,诸如通过审计相关联的交易数据425来确保与相关联的交易数据相关的支付的恰当性以便于交易的完成。
一旦由基于规则的交易处理器430处理了相关联的数据之后,实现趋向完成涉及相关联的交易数据的交易的步骤。在某些实例中,商业规则433提供指示支付可由基于规则交易处理器430直接授权(例如,当对相关联的交易数据的审计指示准备好支付之后)的信息。在其它实例中,向用户450发送支付授权请求。这种请求可例如包括诸如支付了货物或服务的指示和/或该货物或服务的条件的交易信息。当被审核时,用户450向基于规则的交易处理器发回支付授权431。
一旦支付被授权之后,经由外部用户(450)或在基于规则的交易处理器430处,向金融机构440发送支付授权436。金融机构440由对在相关联的交易数据425中和/或使用从数据库401中返回的信息标识的实体进行支付442。支付442包括一如资金解款、信贷帐户的借款、信贷帐户的贷款或可用于征收支付的信息的提供中的一个或多个。在某些应用中,支付授权和属于信贷增加的其它支付相关功能使用交易金融处理器例如在基于规则的交易处理器430处实现。
在某些应用中,基于规则的交易处理器也生成报表数据435供审计交易使用。这种报表数据435有助于例如便于由管理机构确保遵循适当的规章进行的会计评论。这种报表数据435也对特定交易中直接或作为资助型一方所涉及的实体有用。就此方面,报表数据435被选择性地发送给用户的会计系统,或一般发送给其中数据可用于会计、审计或其它目的的用户系统。
图5示出了根据本发明的另一示例实施例,具有管理、参与和订购层的基于网络的交易处理配置500。该配置包括网络502、它包括参与者层504和订户层502。
网络层502包括网络管理者处理器510,它适于实现用于处理涉及由参与者资助的订户的交易的各种功能。就此方面,在网络管理者处理器510处实现的功能被配置成使用例如如在以上其它示例实施例中讨论的每一资助者的概况文件支持基于资助者的处理。例如,参考图1,网络管理者处理器以类似于根据交易处理器110讨论的方式实现,如下所述,核心功能跨网络中的各个用户实现,操作功能为每一资助者实现。所选示例网络管理者功能以网络管理者处理器510示出,这些功能包括用于支持产品管理和开发、品牌营销、培训、数据管理、帮助台管理、结算(即对进行的支付)、技术操作、参与销售(participant sales)和关系管理以及参与者和供应商实现的功能。
参与者层504中的参与者包括买方资助者520和522、卖方资助者530和532,以及金融机构540、542和544。每一买方和卖方资助者各自资助买方和卖方进入网络502,金融机构便于涉及买方和卖方的交易的金融业务方面。
买方和卖方资助者各自提供(例如,经由处理器配置)基于销售和推销的处理、关系管理处理和顾客服务处理。这些功能结合由提供这些功能的买方或卖方资助者资助的订户层502中的订户实现。此外,每一买方和卖方资助者经由与各个资助者处的处理器的交互,便于每一被资助的订户与网络管理者处理器510的交互。在某些应用中,与买方和卖方中每一个相关联示出的功能在网络管理者处理器510处实现。
订户层502包括由买方和卖方资助者520、522、530和532之一资助参与到网络502中的多个订户。此处,买方1A-3A由买方资助者520资助,买方1C-3C由买方资助者522资助,卖方1B-3B由卖方资助者530资助,卖方1C-3C由卖方资助者532资助。订户层502中的每一订户与其他订户中的一个或多个交易,交易的金融业务方面(在某些实例中,及其它)由网络管理者处理器510经由参与者层504中的资助促成。
参与者层504中的金融机构540-542直接或者经由网络管理者处理器510间接与订户层502中的订户交互。每一金融机构便于处理功能,包括评估、增加贸易信贷和管理贸易信贷。在某些应用中,在网络管理者处理器510处促成这些功能中的某些或全部。例如,当网络管理者处理器510实现概况文件和/或契约数据以授权对交易的支付时,可由金融机构使用授权来评估贸易信贷。一旦由金融机构评估和审核的对交易的支付之后,该金融机构为该交易向卖方订户支付并对买方订户开帐单。金融机构也适当地便于对网络管理者处理器510的使用的费用的征收,诸如通过扣留对卖方订户的支付的某一百分数或通过对买方订户为处覆盖对卖方支付的交易数额的数额以外的处理费用开帐单。
尽管参考若干特定示例实施例描述了本发明的某些方面,但本领域的技术人员可以认识到,可对此进行众多修改,而不背离本发明的精神和范围,本发明的精神和范围的各方面在以下权利要求书中描述。
