## Abstract

An interactive time delayed submission that intentionally delays the actual transmission of a transaction. By embedding a time domain into the submission process, the method and system of the present invention delays actual communication of the transaction request from the client to the server in order to present a window of opportunity for the user to escape (CANCEL) the transaction before the actual transaction is transmitted to the remote process. The method comprises: a) receiving a first transaction submit event at a client interface element; b) activating a timer that pauses submitting the transaction to the server; c) cancelling the pending transaction submission on registering a second cancelling event at a client interface element during the unexpired timer interval; and d) absent registering a second cancelling event at a client interface element, and at timer interval completion, submitting the original transaction from the client to the server.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method, comprising:
receiving, by a client device, via a browser application, a user interface software script for rendering, to a user, a user interface comprising a client-to-server action interface element;
automatically identifying, by the client device, a client-to-server action interface element software script in the user interface software script for rendering the user interface comprising the client-to-server action interface element;
automatically modifying, by the client device, the client-to-server action interface element software script to incorporate a timer to allow the user to enable, based on a status of a user setting in the browser application, the client-to-server action interface element to switch between:
a submittable state and
a cancellable state;
wherein programming instructions to the client-to-server action interface element comprises at least one programming instruction for the timer that is utilized for controlling a submission of an execute instruction from the client device to a server, to execute an activity that is operationally linked to the client-to-sever action interface element;
receiving, by the client device, a client-to-server interaction submitting event when the user activates the client-to-server action interface element while the client-to-server action interface element is in the submittable state;
wherein the client-to-server interaction submitting event represents that the user desires the activity to be executed by the server;
executing, by the client device, upon the receiving of the client-to-server interaction submitting event, the at least one programming instruction of the timer to activate the timer;
switching, by the client device, during an unexpired interval of the timer, the client-to-server action interface element into the cancellable state;
determining, by the client device, during the unexpired interval of the timer, a lack of a client-to-server interaction cancelling event with the client-to-server action interface element;
wherein the client-to-server interaction cancelling event represents that the user desires to cancel the activity; and
changing, by the client device, after the switching the client-to-server action interface element into the cancellable state and during the unexpired interval of the timer, a visual appearance of the client-to-server action interface element; and
submitting, by the client device, to the server, in response to the lack of the client-to-server interaction cancelling event and after the timer expired, the execution instruction to execute the activity.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1,
wherein the activity is a transaction;
wherein the client-to-server interaction submitting event is a transaction submitting event that represents that the user desires the transaction to be executed; and
wherein the client-to-server interaction cancelling event is a transaction cancelling event that represents that the user desires to cancel execution of the transaction.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the user interface is a web page or an application window.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the changing the visual appearance of the client-to-server action interface element comprises changing the visual appearance to represent an amount of time remaining before the timer expires.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the changing the visual appearance of the client-to-server action interface element comprises changing either a color of the client-to-server action interface element, a number displayed on the client-to-server action interface element, or a shaded amount of the client-to-server action interface element.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the changing the visual appearance of the client-to-server action interface element comprises changing the visual appearance of the client-to-server action interface element at least twice to represent different amounts of time remaining before the timer expires.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein the changing the visual appearance of the client-to-server action interface element comprises changing, at least twice, either a color of the client-to-server action interface element, a number displayed on the client-to-server action interface element, or a shaded amount of the client-to-server action interface element.

### Claim 8

A system comprises:
a client device, comprising:
a non-transient computer memory, storing software instructions and
a processor;
wherein, when the processor executes the software instructions, the client device is programmed to:
receive, via a browser application, a user interface software script for rendering, to a user, a user interface comprising a client-to-server action interface element;
automatically identify a client-to-server action interface element software script in the user interface software script for rendering the user interface comprising the client-to-server action interface element;
automatically modify the client-to-server action interface element software script to incorporate a timer to allow the user to enable, based on a status of a user setting in the browser application, the client-to-server action interface element to switch between:
a submittable state and
a cancellable state;
wherein programming instructions to the client-to-server action interface element comprises at least one programming instruction for the timer that is utilized for controlling a submission of an execute instruction from the client device to a server, to execute an activity that is operationally linked to the client-to-sever action interface element;
receive a client-to-server interaction submitting event when the user activates the client-to-server action interface element while the client-to-server action interface element is in the submittable state;
wherein the client-to-server interaction submitting event represents that the user desires the activity to be executed by the server;
execute, upon the receipt of the client-to-server interaction submitting event, the at least one programming instruction of the timer to activate the timer;
switch, during an unexpired interval of the timer, the client-to-server action interface element into the cancellable state;
determine, during the unexpired interval of the timer, a lack of a client-to-server interaction cancelling event with the client-to-server action interface element;
wherein the client-to-server interaction cancelling event represents that the user desires to cancel the activity;
change, after the switch of the client-to-server action interface element into the cancellable state and during the unexpired interval of the timer, a visual appearance of the client-to-server action interface element; and
submit to the server, in response to the lack of the client-to-server interaction cancelling event and after the timer expired, the execution instruction to execute the activity.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8,
wherein the activity is a transaction;
wherein the client-to-server interaction submitting event is a transaction submitting event that represents that the user desires the transaction to be executed; and
wherein the client-to-server interaction cancelling event is a transaction cancelling event that represents that the user desires to cancel execution of the transaction.
