Assignee:

BGC Partners, Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 37, 705 35

Abstract:

The present application provides methods and systems for maintaining anonymity in a gaming environment that include or perform the step or steps of receiving a user preference from a first user for maintaining an identity of the first user anonymous during at least one game; tracking game play involving the first user and at least one other user; receiving a request from the at least one other user to initiate at least one game with the first user; retrieving game history data specific to the first user and the at least one other user; retrieving at least one rule for controlling interactions between anonymous users and the at least one other user in the gaming environment; and disposing the request to initiate the at least one game with the first user based at least on the game history data and the at least one rule for controlling interactions between anonymous users and the at least one other user. The game may be a casino-type game, such as poker, blackjack, craps, roulette, and baccarat.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 37

Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided herewith for determining prices and executing trades among a plurality of users of an electronic trading system. The users may transmit to a processor a plurality of bid-offer pairs. Each bid-offer pair may comprise an estimate of a fair bid price and an estimate of a fair offer price for exchanging between a first and a second currency. The processor may determine from the bid-offer pairs a qualifying set of overlapping bid-offer pairs. The processor may determine an exchange rate for exchanging between the first currency and the second currency based on the qualifying set of overlapping bid-offer pairs. The processor may match user orders to exchange between the first and second currencies and execute those orders at the exchange rate.

US Classification:

705 36 R, 705 37, 345440

Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided herewith for determining prices and executing trades among a plurality of users of an electronic trading system. The users may transmit to a processor a plurality of bid-offer pairs, each comprising an estimate of a fair bid and offer price for exchanging between a first and a second currency. The processor may determine an exchange rate for exchanging between the first currency and the second currency based on a determined qualifying set of overlapping bid-offer pairs. The processor may match user orders to exchange between the first and second currencies and execute those orders at the exchange rate. A price adjustment amount is determined based on a change in price after each of a plurality of exchanges between the first and second users. A subsequent transaction between the first and second user is adjusted by a price adjustment amount selected at a user interface.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/04
G06Q 40/00
G06Q 40/06

Abstract:

A system for managing trading orders comprises a memory operable to store an order associated with a first price. The system further comprises a processor communicatively couple to the memory and operable to identify a latency value. The processor is further operable to receive a counterorder and to identify a potential trade associated with the order and the counterorder, the potential trade based at least in part on the first price. If the latency value satisfies a configurable condition, the processor is further operable to initiate a configurable period of time. If the potential trade is not valid upon expiration of the configurable period, the processor is further operable to prevent the execution of the potential trade.

G06Q 40/04

Abstract:

A system for managing trading orders comprises a memory operable to store a first order associated with a particular trading product, wherein the first order is associated with a first price comprising a first root value. The system further comprises a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and operable to receive a second order associated with the particular trading product. The second order is associated with a second price; and the second price comprises a second root value and a particular fractional pip value. The processor is further operable to disclose the first root value and the second root value while suppressing the particular fractional pip value.
