A transaction execution system is provided in which key initiated transaction requests at a terminal remote from and in communication with a host data processing system are processed at the terminal under the selective control of the host. Each active transaction key at the terminal keyboard is assigned one of three different states by a financial institution table. The table provides keyboard customization by selecting one of a plurality of different groups of key states for the different keys arrived at by combining the key states in a custom key set table with the states in a base key set table in response to information from a credit card entered by a consumer. Transactions requested by keys assigned a standard state are processed at the terminal without further data input being required of the consumer. Transactions requested by keys having a data entry state are also handled within the terminal and with the additional consumer entered data required to complete the transaction being requested by and received by the terminal using sets of messages previously stored in the terminal by the host data processing system. Transactions designated by an interactive key state take place within and involve interactive communication between both the terminal and the host, enabling the responses and other communications generated by the host in connection with a transaction for a particular customer to be customized and providing for greater and more varied transactions including such things as bill paying in which funds are transferred between accounts in the host. Message storage within the terminal and communication of messages to the terminal from the host are greatly simplified by storage of segments of messages at the terminal. Frequently repeated phrases can then be incorporated into a message as it is readied for display at the terminal by storing the phrases as segments and thereafter simply identifying them in message definitions communicated to the terminal from the host or stored at the terminal.       Recently Added Patents Handheld electronic device Multi-layer interconnect structure for stacked dies Interface card, network device having the same and control method thereof Electrodes and electric double layer capacitance devices comprising an activated carbon cryogel Creating spin-transfer torque in oscillators and memories Method for detecting tin Binary number multiplying method and circuit   Randomly Featured Patents Locking blunt cannula Built-in functional tester for search engines Showerhead Semiconductor device with a multi-level interconnect structure and method for making the same Medical device programming safety Apparatus for destroying dividing cells Low temperature manufacturing process for nylon Front face of a vehicle wheel Invalid write recovery apparatus and method within cache memory Turbine blade and gas turbine © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
