A system (and a method) for electronic financial transactions includes a sender and a recipient each having an electronic wallet, a sending bank and a receiving bank each having a host application system and an authentication server, and a wallet management center with a host application system and an authentication server. The sender uses its electronic wallet to send an encrypted payment instruction directly to the electronic wallet of the recipient. The recipient can perform a second level encryption of the instruction for submission to the wallet management center for authentication. Once authenticated, the wallet management center notifies the recipient and submits payment instructions for clearing by the corresponding sending and receiving banks. Payment authorization is authenticated directly by the sending bank without involvement of the wallet management center. For enhanced usability, payment details may be originated from the recipient to the sender using proximity or online messaging.

The present invention provides a unique system and method that can employ machine learning techniques to automatically fill one or more fields across a diverse array of web forms. In particular, one or more instrumented tools can collect input or entries of form fields. Machine learning can be used to learn what data corresponds to which fields or types of fields. The input can be sent to a central repository where other databases can be aggregated as well. This input can be provided to a machine learning system to learn how to predict the desired outputs. Alternatively or in addition, learning can be performed in part by observing entries and then adapting the autofill component accordingly. Furthermore, a number of features of database fields as well as constraints can be employed to facilitate assignments of database entries to form values—particularly when the web form has never been seen before by the autofill system.

A system and method for automatically georeferencing digitized images selects and analyzes image landmark points from disparate sources for image co-registration. A composite alignment of raster images and geographic target vectors is automatically generated using metadata sources for use in geographic display and editing environments.

The co-registration and display permits a meaningful overlay of the data sets and an improved comparison of vector data to the correctly-registered images based on the physical relationships between the vector data and the underlying image features. By incorporating metadata regarding landmarks and other points of interest, users may query target vectors to display attributes of the associated landmarks and create a highly accurate parcel map for validating image information in areas where the data was acquired in sub-optimal conditions.
