Abstract

Apparatus for coordinating a rule-based relationship between a bank, a vendor and a merchant is provided. The apparatus may include a first receiver configured to receive an employee identification number input into a graphical user interface (“GUI”). The apparatus may additionally include the first receiver being configured to receive a billing account number input into the GUI. The apparatus may also include a processor configured to determine if the billing account number includes a number of consecutive, identical digits. The processor may further be configured to determine if the number of consecutive, identical digits is equal to or greater than a threshold number of consecutive, identical digits.

Claims18

Dependent claims

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor on a computer system, perform a method for validating an account number, the method comprising:

using a first receiver to receive an employee identification number input into a graphical user interface (“GUI”);
using the first receiver to receive a billing account number input into the GUI;
using a processor to determine if the billing account number includes a number of consecutive, identical digits;
using the processor to determine if the number of consecutive, identical digits is equal to or greater than a threshold number of consecutive, identical digits;
in the event that the number of consecutive, identical digits is determined to be greater than or equal to the threshold number, using a transmitter to transmit a data file including the employee identification number and the billing account number to a predetermined e-mail address;
in the event that the number of consecutive, identical digits is determined to be less than the threshold number:
using the processor to access a database including valid billing account numbers;
and
using the processor to electronically identify an account number included in the database that is identical to the billing account number, wherein a failure to identify an account number identical to the billing account number triggers the processor to disable a plurality of input fields included in the GUI.

6 more elements

An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein, the code when executed by a processor causes a computer to determine a validity of an account number, the computer readable program code in said article comprising:

computer readable program code for causing the computer to receive a bank account number input into the GUI;
computer readable program code for causing the computer to determine if the bank account number includes a number of consecutive, identical digits;
computer readable program code for causing the computer to determine if the number of consecutive, identical digits is equal to or greater than a threshold number of consecutive, identical digits;
in the event that the number of consecutive, identical digits is determined to be less than the threshold number, computer readable program code for causing the computer to access a database including valid bank account numbers and determine if the database includes an entry identical to the bank account number;
and
in the event that the computer establishes the non-existence of an entry identical to the bank account number, computer readable program code for causing the computer to disable a data input functionality associated with a plurality of input fields included in the GUI.
