First Claim
1. A system for single-action energy resource scheduling and participation in energy-related securities, comprising:
- a communications interface executing on a network-connected server and adapted to receive information from a plurality of client user interfaces; and
a secure action server coupled to the communications interface;
wherein the secure action server, on receiving a connection from a client user interface, assigns a unique client identifier to the client user interface and associates the unique identifier with a client account; and
wherein the secure action server, on receiving a request from a client user interface, determines whether the client user interface is mapped to an authorized market participant who has enabled single-action scheduling, execution order, or participation confirmation functionality for the client user interface, and passes information to the client user interface pertaining at least to a single action needed to confirm scheduling, execution order, or participation; and
wherein the secure action server, on receiving indication from the communications interface that a required single action has been taken, at least updates information about the market participant who took the action.

-
(a) upon receiving a connection from a client user interface at a secure action server coupled to a communications interface executing on a network-connected server and adapted to receive information from a plurality of client user interfaces, assigning to the client user interface a unique identifier; (b) associating the assigned unique identifier and its associated client user interface with an account; (c) mapping the client user interface to a participant authorized to use the client user interface to conduct transactions; (d) on receiving a subsequent request from a client user interface, determining whether the client user interface is mapped to an authorized market participant; (e) checking whether the mapped participant has enabled single-action scheduling, execution order, or participation confirmation; (f) if the client user interface is enabled for single-action scheduling, execution order, or participation confirmation, sending relevant information to the client user interface with indication of single action needed; and (g) on receipt from a client user interface that a specified single action has been taken at the client user interface, at least updating information about the market participant who took the action.
