20120197897 | METHOD OF DEFINING A COLLECTION OF DIGITAL MEDIA CONTENT - A method for defining a collection of digital media content for playback using a digital media player where (a) the collection is defined using specific criteria; and (b) the collection is not static but can alter or grow even after being made available to the digital media player; and (c) the said digital media files form a subset of a catalogue of digital media files available for the digital media player to play. | 08-02-2012 |
20120197946 | DATABASE SCHEMA COMPLEXITY REDUCTION - In contrast to the traditional approach of defining relationships between data collections using complex groups of cross-reference database tables, the present invention makes use of generic sets to represent relationships between complex collections of interrelated data. The complexity of a database schema can be greatly reduced by representing the relationships between data items as these data sets (sets of data items). These sets of data items may be defined in one or more database tables in a database. This approach provides for much simplified database data management and control. It enables the easy pre- or re-calculation of sets and provides for the easy creation of hierarchical meta-data trees, which are ideal for the targeted delivery of data to the user. | 08-02-2012 |

20120226780 | ENABLING DIGITAL MEDIA CONTENT TO BE DOWNLOADED TO AND USED ON MULTIPLE TYPES OF COMPUTING DEVICE - The invention is a method for enabling digital content to be downloaded to and used on multiple types of computing device by (i) linking user accounts on each device to a “master” user account defined and stored on a remote server; and (ii) managing the user's access to a defined service using his devices via the said master user account; and (iii) allowing the download of digital content to each said device on which the user is permitted to access the said service using a file format which is appropriate for use on each said device type. A user may manage and access the same user account from multiple types of computing devices. Furthermore, the number of device platforms accessible in a similar manner by the user is extensible and the user's information is kept automatically synchronized across all devices. | 09-06-2012 |
20130060841 | METHOD OF SYNCHRONISING DIGITAL MEDIA CONTENT - Synchronising digital media content to a device is achieved using the following steps: (a) identifying a digital media collection linked to a given user; (b) analysing the content of the digital media collection to derive a “taste signature” for that user; (c) identifying, based on the “taste signature” analysis, the priority order in which media content files are to be provided to the device during a synchronisation; (d) providing one or more media content files to the device during the synchronisation. | 03-07-2013 |

20110004554 | INTERNATIONAL BANKING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and method for providing banks with access to a previously inaccessible existing international infrastructure. A provider bank first establishes on its system, a set of accounts for each of the customers of a client bank (the client bank environment). The client bank environment has its own Demand Deposit Account (DDA) module to process account entries and calculate interest and its own funds transfer module to initiate and to receive funds transfers. The primary interface into the funds transfer section in the client bank environment is to the funds transfer section of the provider bank environment. The funds transfer section of the provider bank is coupled to the systems which constitute the international banking infrastructure that is able to process banking transactions on a global basis for the customers of the client bank. A customer requests a particular international transaction to be performed by its client bank. The client bank then communicates the requested transaction to the funds transfer section in the client bank environment within the system of the provider bank. Once the client bank funds transfer section has received the requested transaction, it references the customer's accounts in the client bank environment (e.g., to debit the customer's account) and then transmit a transaction message (e.g., a payment message) to the funds transfer section of the provider bank environment. The funds transfer section of the provider bank processes the transaction as a typical correspondent bank payment across the Nostro account(s) of the client bank environment (e.g., a high value wire transfer) through one of the clearing systems. Incoming funds (i.e., credits) intended for accounts of customers of the client bank follow this flow in reverse. | 01-06-2011 |
