20220156737 | TOKENISATION METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING EXCHANGES ON A BLOCKCHAIN - In accordance with the invention there may be provided a method and corresponding system for controlling the performance of a process conducted via a blockchain. The blockchain may or may not be the Bitcoin blockchain. The process may be a lending process. Advantageously, the invention provides a mechanism which enables the ultimate owner of a property or other asset to borrow funds against that asset, and sets out how this can be achieved in a manner which does not require the return to the investor(s) to be determined through the payment of interest. This makes it compliant with non-interest forms of lending. The invention provides a blockchain-implemented method (and corresponding system) of embedding data in a blockchain transaction (Tx). The method comprises the steps of deriving a public-key-private key cryptographic pair for the data; deriving a signature for the data using the public key-private key cryptographic pair; codifying the data to generate codified metadata for the data. The codified metadata is transmitted to the blockchain in a transaction. A signature is received and a script from at least one user to enable access to the embedded data. The script comprises a public key of a signatory. The metadata comprises a hash of the data and a pointer to the data so that it can be located. The hash is used as a primary key in a lookup table where the data is stored. | 2022-05-19 |

20220156831 | ELECTRONIC MATCH ENGINE WITH EXTERNAL GENERATION OF MARKET DATA USING A MINIMUM DATA SET - Systems and methods are provided for an electronic match engine of an exchange that distributes a minimum data set to an external market data generation (MDG) processor. The electronic match engine derives a minimum data set from data already known to the electronic match engine. The MDG processor, which may be outside of the electronic match engine, may extract the minimum data set and uses it to generate market data. The electronic match engine may append the minimum data set to an order entry message sent to the MDG processor. | 2022-05-19 |
20220156832 | ORDER GENERATION METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SOFTWARE INTERFACE - Disclosed is a method and an order generation system for a software interface, the method including: by a UE, collecting operation information about a target object, and determining an operation type and an operation coordinate of the target object on the software interface; acquiring a coordinate set in a price coordinate system of the software interface; | 2022-05-19 |
20220156833 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING INTEREST AND VOLUME MATCHING - Various embodiments are directed to a trading system and method for identifying interest and qualifying users to participate in an auction. The system may receive indicia indicating a first user's desire to trade a product or type. The system may determine that there is no matching counter-interest in the product or type. The system may qualify a subset of users to participate in an auction for the trading product based on each user's portfolio, order history, trade history, or specified interest. The system may determine an auction price for the trading product. Each user may view the trading product, the price, the auction start time, and fields for entering a bid or offer volume. The system may start the auction at the designated price for the subset of users. The system may match and execute all or portions of a bid and offer received before the end of the auction. | 2022-05-19 |
20220156834 | SELF-GOVERNED DATA EXCHANGE SYSTEM THAT PRICES DATA ELEMENTS AGGREGATED FOR EXCHANGE - A self-governed data exchange system is disclosed to price data elements and aggregate data on a self-governed data exchange. Combining data from a variety of IoT domains will lower storage and administration costs for data generators as well as standardize the ability to query and monetize the data. Also, data will be more readily available to third parties allowing for higher overall revenue back to the data providers. | 2022-05-19 |
20220156835 | System and Method for Coalescing Market Data at a Client Device - A client device coalesces data received from an exchange, and provides a client application such as a graphical user interface with the opportunity to process fewer, but up-to-date, data updates from an exchange when a large volume of prices becomes available. Accordingly, the trader can be assured of receiving updated information that are fed to the client applications at a rate that is cohesive with that client device's processing speed. | 2022-05-19 |
20220156836 | Methods, systems, and devices for managing and processing trading activity and trading information - Embodiments relate to managing trading information. The method includes receiving voice communications between users, transforming voice communications into textual representations, generating trading records, generating confidence indicium for each trading record, selecting trading records based on confidence indicia, comparing a confidence indicium of first and second selected trading records with a first threshold, displaying the first selected trading record at a first location on a display when its confidence indicium exceeds the first threshold, and displaying the second selected trading record at a second location when its confidence indicium exceeds the first threshold. The method includes determining whether the first threshold has been edited. The method includes, after the first threshold has been edited: comparing the confidence indicium of the second selected trading record with the edited threshold; and moving the second selected trading record to a third location when its confidence indicium exceeds the edited threshold. | 2022-05-19 |
