Devices, systems, and/or methods for processing transactions
View Patent ↗Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a method, which can comprise, responsive to a determination that a Web-based transaction has caused an exceedance of a maximum threshold percentage of transactions processed offline, at a user interface of an information device, rendering an automatic alert indicative of the exceedance. The Web-based transaction can be requested from a browser.
1. A method for processing transactions, comprising:
receiving a request for a Web-based transaction from a browser;
automatically estimating a time to complete said Web-based transaction based upon historical transaction records;
determining whether the Web-based transaction has caused an exceedance of a maximum threshold percentage of transactions processed offline; and
responsive to a determination that the Web-based transaction has caused an exceedance of the maximum threshold percentage of transactions processed offline, at a user interface of an information device, rendering an automatic alert indicative of said exceedance and the estimated time to complete said Web-based transaction.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
based upon an identified transaction type, determining a real-time transaction timeout threshold value of said Web-based transaction.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
based upon an identified transaction type, determining an offline transaction timeout threshold value of said Web-based transaction, said Web-based transaction processed offline based upon said offline transaction timeout threshold value.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
based upon said Web-based transaction exceeding a real-time transaction timeout threshold value, placing said Web-based transaction in an offline processing queue.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
processing said Web-based transaction.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
automatically establishing call back parameters to said browser.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
based upon call back parameters, setting up an automatic notification of a status of said Web-based transaction.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
via said browser, automatically rendering a user-selectable option to cancel said Web-based transaction.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
responsive to completion of said Web-based transaction, providing a notification to said browser.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
responsive to a determination that said Web-based transaction exceeds an offline transaction timeout value, rendering an alert at said browser.
11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
establishing said maximum threshold percentage of transactions processed offline.
12. A system comprising:
a processor;
a data bus coupled to the processor;
a memory coupled to the data bus; and
a computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
receiving a request for a Web-based transaction from a browser;
automatically estimating a time to complete said Web-based transaction based upon historical transaction records;
determining whether the Web-based transaction has caused an exceedance of a maximum threshold percentage of transactions processed offline; and
responsive to a determination that the Web-based transaction has caused an exceedance of the maximum threshold percentage of transactions processed offline, at a user interface of an information device, rendering an automatic alert indicative of said exceedance and the estimated time to complete said Web-based transaction.
13. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising machine-implementable instructions for activities comprising:
receiving a request for a Web-based transaction from a browser;
automatically estimating a time to complete said Web-based transaction based upon historical transaction records;
determining whether the Web-based transaction has caused an exceedance of a maximum threshold percentage of transactions processed offline; and
responsive to a determination that the Web-based transaction has caused an exceedance of the maximum threshold percentage of transactions processed offline, at a user interface of an information device, rendering an automatic alert indicative of said exceedance and the estimated time to complete said Web-based transaction.
