Abstract

A method for generating and distributing serialized tokens is provided. The method may include receiving a request from at least one client. The method may further include determining whether the received at least one request is a request for generating names and definitions for a group of serialized tokens, deleting a names and definitions, and/or receiving a group of serialized tokens. Additionally, the method may include enabling the at least one client to generate names and definitions for a group of serialized tokens. The method may also include storing the names and definitions on a server. The method may also include deleting the names and definitions from the server. The method may also include formatting and distributing serialized tokens based on the names and definitions for the serialized tokens. The method may further include sending a response to the client based on the received request.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer system for generating and distributing a plurality serialized tokens, comprising: one or more computer-readable storage devices and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage devices, the program instructions executable by a processor, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to receive at least one request from at least one client, wherein the received at least one request comprises a plurality of data selected from a group comprising JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data and Extensible Markup Language (XML);
program instructions to determine whether the received at least one request is a request for generating at least one name and at least one definition associated with the at least one name for a group of serialized tokens;
in response to the determination that the received at least one request is a request for generating the at least one name and the at least one definition for the group of serialized tokens, program instructions to enable the at least one client to generate the at least one name and the at least one definition for the group of serialized tokens, wherein the generated at least one name and the generated at least one definition comprises a plurality of symbols selected from a group comprising a plurality of numeric symbols and a plurality of non-numeric symbols, and wherein the generated at least one definition comprises at least one counter to determine a chronological sequence to distribute the group of serialized tokens;
program instructions to store the generated at least one name and the generated at least one definition on at least one server;
program instructions to determine whether the received at least one request is a request for deleting at least one second name and at least one second definition for a second group of serialized tokens;
in response to the determination that the received at least one request is a request to delete the at least one second name and the at least one second definition for the second group of serialized tokens, program instructions to delete the at least one second name and the at least one second definition for the second group of serialized tokens from the at least one server;
program instructions to determine whether the received at least one request is a request for receiving the second group of serialized tokens based on the at least one second name and the at least one second definition;
in response to the determination that the received at least one request is a request for receiving the second group of serialized tokens, program instructions to format the second group of serialized tokens based on the at least one second name and the at least one second definition, and program instructions to distribute the second group of serialized tokens in chronological order based on the at least one counter associated with the at least one second name and the at least one second definition, wherein a position of the at least one counter is bookmarked to determine a next available serialized token associated with the second group of serialized tokens; and
program instructions to send a response to the client based on the received at least one request, wherein the response comprises at least one of an indication that the generated at least one name and the generated at least one definition are generated and stored, a confirmation that the at least one second name and the at least one second definition for the second group of serialized tokens are deleted, at least one serialized token, and an error message.
