Central hub reconciliation system for payment data and remittance data
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11887079B2) outlines a method for secure communication and data processing between server computers and request realization computers. The method involves providing an API for establishing a secure communication channel, receiving encrypted data files, decrypting them using a decryption key, storing the data in a database with a unique identifier, validating the data, and handling inaccuracies. The server computer generates payment information files for individual payment data, communicates with authorizing entities, formats remittance data, and progressively creates a repository for linking data based on communications with various entities. Access to the repository is granted using the unique identifier, with limitations on data access for different entities.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims related to expunging data files after a predetermined time, providing remittance data to request originating computers, and the structure of the server computer itself. The server computer described in the patent includes a processor and a computer-readable medium with code for executing the method steps outlined in the claims. Additional features include automatic removal of data files after a set time, handling data associated with multiple transactions, and providing access to the repository for various entities involved in the communication process. Overall, the patent details a comprehensive method for secure data processing and communication in a server environment, ensuring efficient handling of remittance and payment data while maintaining data security and access control.
