Abstract

A system and method of transferring information comprising an input module configured to receive an access parameter from an entity authorized to provide the access parameter, an access module configured to access a first database or a second database and communicate information from the first database to the second database wherein the information is configured to perform an authorized function. The function can be authorized bill payment. The information to be transferred can include financial information, and can include account information.

Claims

1. A method of transferring information comprising:

providing a processor to direct interaction between one or more of an input module configured to receive an access parameter from an entity authorized to provide the access parameter, an access module including electronically executed instructions configured to electronically access the information with the access parameter from first database to a second database, a communication module configured to increase efficiency of data transfer to the second database by coordinating activity or idle states between a plurality of modules, implementation module configured the information to perform a function authorized by the owner of the information, a collection module that is part of the processor and configured to automatically collect the information, and filter module that limits the information communicated to the second database by sorting the accessed or collected information, storing information in at least one initial storage location including a first database in communication with the collection module and the filter module, the collection module electronically configured to automatically collect the information with the processor, the processor being hardware and including memory, and the input module, access module, collection module, filter module, and communication module can including hardware-coded instructions;

permissibly retrieving the information with an access parameter from the initial storage location;

the processor instructing the first database to transfer information to a second database;

supplying the information to the second database, the second database being a separate storage location with the processor comprising the communication module having electronically executed instructions configured to supply the information as communicated information to the separate storage location, the second database in electronic communication with the collection module and the filter module;

filtering the information by transferring the communicated information and sorting the communicated information into limited information by separating the information into one or more categories, and filtering based on data content including one or more of amount of data, time of entry, location of data, removal of data that is irrelevant to the functions to be performed after the information is transferred to the second database, or withholding from transfer any information that will not be used once the transferred information is transferred to the second database;

and employing the information to perform an authorized financial and transactional function at the second database,

wherein the processor includes an implementation module including the communication module and electronically executed instructions configured to employ the information to perform the authorized financial and transactional function.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising retrieving and supplying the information electronically.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising non-electronically storing the information in the initial storage location or the separate storage location, independently.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising electronically storing the information in the initial storage location or the separate storage location, independently.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising collecting the information stored in an initial storage location.

6. A computerized system of transferring information comprising:

access parameter receiving fields;

an input module configured to receive an access parameter from an entity authorized to provide the access parameter;

an access module including electronically executed instructions configured to electronically access the information with the access parameter from first database to a second database, the first data base and second database in communication with a collection module and a filter module, the collection module that is part of a processor and electronically configured to automatically collect the information, the processor being hardware and including memory, and the input module, access module, collection module, filter module, and communication module can including hardware-coded instructions;

a communication module configured to increase efficiency of data transfer to the second database by coordinating activity or idle states between a plurality of modules, the transfer converting stored information to communicated information; and

the filter module configured to sort the information by separating the information into one or more categories and filtering based on data content including one or more of amount of data, time of entry, location of data, removal of data that is irrelevant to the functions to be performed after the information is transferred to the second database, or withholding from transfer any information that will not be used once the transferred information is transferred to the second database;

and employing the information to perform an authorized financial and transactional function at the second database,

the processor configured to instruct the first database to transfer information to a second database and direct interaction between one or more of the input module, the access module, communication module, implementation module, collection module, and filter module and automatically supply the information to a storage device at a separate location in electronic communication with a collection module and the filter module,

the storage device configured to electronically store the information,

the information employed to perform an authorized financial and transactional function and wherein the processor includes a filter module including electronically executed instructions configured to transfer limited information,

wherein the processor includes an implementation module including the communication module and electronically executed instructions configured to employ the information to perform the authorized financial and transactional function.

7. The system of claim 6 wherein the function includes authorized bill payment.

8. The system of claim 6 wherein the filter module is further configured to sort limited information processed by the filter module.
