Private networks and content requests in a resource transfer system
Systems and techniques are provided for a resource transfer system. An instruction to transfer a first quantity of a resource from a first resource pool to a second resource pool may be received. A hold may be placed on a second quantity of the resource in the first resource pool. The held second quantity of the first resource may not be transferred from the first resource pool until the hold is released. Responsive to receiving a message that fulfills a condition on the hold and an instruction to execute the transfer, the hold may be released. A register that is in the first resource pool and is associated with the resource may decremented by the first quantity, and a register that is in the second resource pool and is associated with the resource may be incremented by the first quantity.
1. A computer-implemented method performed on a data processing apparatus comprising:
receiving, on a first computing device over a private network wherein the private network comprises a network using encrypted communications, a message comprising a proposed transfer, wherein the proposed transfer comprises a source transfer of a first quantity of a first resource type from a first resource pool to a second resource pool and a destination transfer of a second quantity of a second resource type from a third resource pool to a fourth resource pool;
receiving, on the first computing device over the private network, a message indicating that a hold has been placed on a third quantity of the first resource type in the first resource pool;
sending, by the first computing device over the private network, at least one message associated with the performance of the destination transfer;
receiving, on the first computing device over the private network, a message indicating that a condition on the hold of the third quantity of the first resource type in the first resource pool has been fulfilled, wherein the message indicating that the condition on the hold has been fulfilled is a transfer confirmation receipt indicating that the destination transfer of the second resource type from a third resource pool to a fourth resource pool was successful;
decrypting, using a cryptographic key used by computing devices of the private network, the message indicating that a condition on the hold of the third quantity of the first resource type in the first resource pool has been fulfilled; and
responsive to receiving and successfully decrypting the message indicating that the condition on the hold of the third quantity of the first resource type in the first resource pool has been fulfilled, sending, by the first computing device over the private network, an instruction to execute the source transfer of the first quantity of the first resource type from the first resource pool to the second resource pool.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one message associated with performance of the destination transfer comprises one or more of:
an authorization allowing the placement of a hold on a fourth quantity of the second resource type in the third resource pool; and
an instruction to execute the destination transfer of the second quantity of the second resource type from the third resource pool to the fourth resource pool.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a party that controls the fourth resource pool is a host, owner, or provider of network accessible content, and wherein the proposed transfer is based on a request to access the network accessible content.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the request to access the network accessible content is an HTTP request.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a party that controls the first resource pool operates a system that has submitted an HTTP request for network accessible content, and wherein the proposed transfer is based on the submitted HTTP request.
6. A computer-implemented system comprising:
a processor that receives over a private network wherein the private network comprises a network using encrypted communications a message comprising a proposed transfer, wherein the proposed transfer comprises a source transfer of a first quantity of a first resource type from a first resource pool to a second resource pool and a destination transfer of a second quantity of a second resource type from a third resource pool to a fourth resource pool,
receives over the private network a message indicating that a hold has been placed on a third quantity of the first resource type in the first resource pool,
sends over the private network at least one message associated with the performance of the destination transfer;
receives over the private network a message indicating that a condition on the hold of the third quantity of the first resource type in the first resource pool has been fulfilled wherein the message indicating that the condition on the hold has been fulfilled is a transfer confirmation receipt indicating that the destination transfer of the second resource type from a third resource pool to a fourth resource pool was successful,
decrypts, using a cryptographic key used by computing devices of the private network the message indicating that a condition on the hold of the third quantity of the first resource type in the first resource pool has been fulfilled; and
responsive to receiving and successfully decrypting the message indicating that the condition on the hold of the third quantity of the first resource type in the first resource pool has been fulfilled, sends over the private network an instruction to execute the source transfer of the first quantity of the first resource type from the first resource pool to the second resource pool.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the at least one message associated with performance of the destination transfer comprises one or more of:
an authorization allowing the placement of a hold on a fourth quantity of the second resource type in the third resource pool; and
an instruction to execute the destination transfer of the second quantity of the second resource type, from the third resource pool to the fourth resource pool.
8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the proposed transfer is based on a request to access network accessible content.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the request to access the network accessible content is an HTTP request.
10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the proposed transfer is based on a submitted HTTP request for network accessible content.
11. A system comprising: one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions which are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
receiving, on a first computing device over a private network wherein the private network comprises a network using encrypted communications, a message comprising a proposed transfer, wherein the proposed transfer comprises a source transfer of a first quantity of a first resource type from a first resource pool to a second resource pool and a destination transfer of a second quantity of a second resource type from a third resource pool to a fourth resource pool;
receiving, on the first computing device over the private network, a message indicating that a hold has been placed on a third quantity of the first resource type in the first resource pool;
sending, by the first computing device over the private network, at least one message associated with the performance of the destination transfer;
receiving, on the first computing device over the private network, a message indicating that a condition on the hold of the third quantity of the first resource type in the first resource pool has been fulfilled wherein the message indicating that the condition on the hold has been fulfilled is a transfer confirmation receipt indicating that the destination transfer of the second resource type from a third resource pool to a fourth resource pool was successful;
decrypting, using a cryptographic key used by computing devices of the private network, the message indicating that a condition on the hold of the third quantity of the first resource type in the first resource pool has been fulfilled; and
responsive to receiving and successfully decrypting the message indicating that the condition on the hold of the third quantity of the first resource type in the first resource pool has been fulfilled, sending, by the first computing device over the private network, an instruction to execute the source transfer of the first quantity of the first resource type from the first resource pool to the second resource pool.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one message associated with performance of the destination transfer comprises one or more of:
an authorization allowing the placement of a hold on a fourth quantity of the second resource type in the third resource pool; and
an instruction to execute the destination transfer of the second quantity of the second resource type from the third resource pool to the fourth resource pool.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the proposed transfer is based on a request to access the network accessible content.
