Abstract:
1. A method for creating and using autonomous transactions for dynamic and changing commercial transactions outside the direct control of senders and recipients for the payment of goods and services comprising: a) creating a string of digital signals known as a transactional data-packet, storable on a computer-readable medium, and transmittable through a network; b) creating a string of digital signals known as an access token, denominated at a certain value, and storable individually or together with other said access tokens as part of said transactional data packet in a dedicated field known as a packet wallet; c) creating a software program known as a facility access gateway configured to interact with said transactional data-packet with resultant transactions transferring to or receiving from said packet wallet said access tokens which said transactional data-packets carry, said facility access gateways being located at the facilities and equipment of users as well as of providers of various services involving information and being storable on a computer-readable medium; d) creating a software control program known as a packet controller, similarly storable as part of said transactional data-packet, and which controls the release or admission of said access tokens from or to said transactional data packet, with said packet controller programmable by the issuer of said transactional data-packets and storable on a computer readable storage medium on a dedicated field of said transactional data-packet known as a packet controller field, with said packet controller containing: e) placing, by a sender of said transactional data-packet, said access tokens, after being acquired from an issuer of said tokens, in the said packet wallet of said transactional data-packet, together with other instructions, and sending them to a specified recipient, or a recipient class, or to roam networks with a specified task; f) engaging said transactional data-packets, controlled by its said packet controller, in a transaction with said facilities access gateways of a service provider, including a transmission network or other party, transferring said access tokens in full or part at the facility access gateway of a service provider in return for access to the facility and its services by said transactional data-packet or of other packets listed in its packet controller, or in return for services including storage or transmission or other transactions and exchanges; g) enabling the terms of a rejected price offer from the facility access gateway to be modified by the said facility access gateway, thereby enabling a variable pricing that varies dependent on the circumstances including congestion and demand conditions; h) transferring one or several said access tokens from the facility wallet to said packet wallet in return for the service which said transactional data-packet and other packets listed by it provides to the facility, or in return for other consideration; i) returning of said transactional data-packet, with said access tokens in the said packet wallet, to the sender or a designated third party; and j) enabling the re-use of said access tokens by the sender, or by the owners of said facility wallets, in subsequent transactions.
