A method for facilitating transactions between tenants in in a multi-tenant architecture system is discussed. The method includes receiving a request, at a multi-tenant platform, from a first service of a first tenant of the multi-tenant platform to access a second service of a second tenant of the multi-tenant platform to perform a transaction, in which the request includes a first access token usable to authenticate the transaction with the first tenant. The method includes generating, by the multi-tenant platform using the first access token, a universal access token. The method includes generating, by the multi-tenant platform using the universal access token, a second access token useable to authenticate the transaction with the second tenant. The method includes using, by the multi-tenant platform, the second access token to communicate with the second service to perform the transaction.

A method for using unified transaction services in a multi-tenant architecture system is discussed. The method includes receiving a request, at a first service provider, to provide a first transaction service for a user. The method includes accessing a first representation of the first service provider in a first hierarchical data structure, the first hierarchical data structure being managed by a second service provider, the second service provider managing user identity of the user. The method includes determining, based on the first representation, that transaction resources required for completion of the first transaction service are provided at the second service provider using a resource representation. The method also includes, responsive to determining that the transaction resources are accessible at the first service provider, accessing, at the first service provider, the transaction resources via the resource representation.

A method for processing disputes in a multi-tenant architecture system includes receiving, at a first service provider, a dispute request from a second service provider that manages entity identities of a plurality of customers. The dispute request indicates a disputed transaction between a customer of the plurality of customers and another entity. The method includes accessing an identity manager to determine a customer representation, the identity manager previously onboarded the plurality of customers as a plurality of customer representations. The identity manager is hosted by the first service provider that manages customer representations corresponding to entity identities of the customers. The dispute request is propagated with the customer representation to a dispute management engine that determines an outcome for the dispute, the determination based on characteristics of the disputed transaction and on characteristics of the customer. The method also includes propagating the determination to the second service provider.

Various systems, mediums, and methods herein describe aspects of personal information platforms accessible with client devices over communication networks in data infrastructures. A system may determine data associated with a user. The system may determine a personal information platform (PIP) based on the data associated with the user, where the PIP is configured to identify a number of data types from the data associated with the user. The system may determine accesses for one or more entities to the number of data types based on one or more services provided by the one or more entities to the user. The system may cause a client device to display an indication of the PIP, where the indication provides the one or more accesses of the one or more entities.

Personal information platforms

A method for using unified identities in a multi-tenant architecture system is discussed. The method includes receiving a request, at a first service provider, to provide a service for a user. The method includes accessing a representation of a second service provider in a first hierarchical data structure managed by the first service provider. The method includes determining that user data required for the service is managed by the second service provider that manages user identity of the user. The method includes determining that the representation is linked with a full identity reference for the second service provider in a second hierarchical data structure managed by the second service provider. The method includes accessing the user data at the second hierarchical data structure using the full identity reference. The method includes accessing the service via the lightweight identity reference and using the user data at the first service provider.

Systems and methods are provided for transferring state between devices. In one implementation, a gestural input is detected, and a state of a source application is transferred from a first device to a second device in response to the gestural input. The second device may then generate an instance of a target application that corresponds to a representation of the state of the source application received from the first device. In an additional implementation, a state of the target application is transferred from the second device to the first device. The first device then updates a state of the source application to correspond to a representation of the state of the target application received from the second device.

Systems and methods for transferring application state between devices based on gestural input

Techniques are disclosed for the sharing and transferring of user data in online network systems operating in multiple jurisdictions. The different jurisdictions may be, for example, different geo-partitions in an online network system. Various techniques are disclosed for providing cross-partition operational functionalities (e.g., cross-geo transactions) between geo-partitioned server systems through the sharing and transferring of data between the geo-partitions. The geo-partitions may have established permissions for data that can be shared between the geo-partitions. A server system in one geo-partition may generate an auxiliary account from a subset of data shared across the geo-partitions that complies with the data permissions. Complying with the established data permissions may inhibit overlapping between the different laws or regulations of the geo-partitions.

Data sharing in geographically partitioned networks

A method for facilitating transactions by tenants in a multi-tenant architecture system is discussed. The method includes generating, with a multi-tenant computer system, a first representation of an entity in a first hierarchical data structure associated with an entity interface tenant of the multi-tenant computer system. The method includes receiving, with the multi-tenant computer system, a set of entity-specific policies useable to generate requests to individual ones of a plurality of transaction processing computer systems. The method includes generating, with the multi-tenant computer system, a second representation of the entity in a second hierarchical data structure associated with a particular transaction processing service tenant of a plurality of transaction processing service tenants of the multi-tenant computer system. The method includes linking, with the multi-tenant computer system, the first representation and the second representation in a unified hierarchical data structure useable to provide a unified identity for the entity for requests.

There are provided systems and methods for a carbon neutral blockchain protocol for resolving carbon offsetter payments for cryptocurrency transactions. A service provider, such as an online transaction processor, may provide a green wallet and network protocol that provides carbon offsetting fees and payments to carbon offsetters in order to account for carbon emissions and usage when processing cryptocurrency transactions on a blockchain network protocol. A green wallet may be provided, which allows registration of carbon offsetters and use of green addresses to cause cryptocurrency to be processed in a green transaction. A user's digital wallet may sign an initial cryptocurrency transaction and provide the fee to the green wallet. The green wallet may then resolve the cryptocurrency transaction by further signing the transaction and transmitting the fee to a digital wallet of the carbon offsetter over another cryptocurrency processing network.

A uniform resource locator (URL) shortener relies on client-side support to embed links to websites into, for example, text messages, emails, tweets, or other forms of microblogging, and that provides additional capabilities. A method may include: recognizing a token indicator; recognizing a token in conjunction with the token indicator; selecting a template corresponding to the token indicator; and executing a process enabled according to the token and the template. Executing an enabled process may include one or more of: generating a URL; generating a URL that is itself a server-based URL shortener, in which the token indicator is substituted for the server-based URL shortener hostname to reduce the character count from that of the server-based URL shortener; displaying information from a destination website of the URL generated from the token and the template; or generating a URL according to a distinctive visual characteristic of the token indicator.

A method for applying agency and regulation modeling in a multi-tenant architecture system includes accessing merchant's representation in an identity manager. The merchant is managed via a full representation by an original identity manager. The method includes performing a first service for the merchant via the representation, and determining, based on results of the first service and on policies of the first service provider, that performance of a second service is required for completion of the first service. The second service is provided by a second service provider onboarded into the first service provider, where the second service amends policy requirements of the first service provider. The method includes accessing a first subservice of the second service using the representation to generate second results for use at a second subservice of the second service, the second subservice configured to use transaction resources of the first representation.
