Each device or mobile device in the set of user(s) or customer(s) 130/140 and provider(s) or seller(s) or merchant(s) device or mobile devices 135/140 may be configured to communicate, via a wireless connection, with each one of the other mobile devices 130/140/135/145. Each one of the mobile devices 130/140/135/145 may also be configured to communicate, via a wireless connection, to a network 125, as illustrated in FIG. 1. The wireless connections of mobile devices 130/140/135/145 may be implemented within a wireless network such as a Bluetooth network or a wireless LAN. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the account based payment system may include gateway 120. Gateway 120 may be a web gateway which may be configured to communicate with other entities of the account based payment system via wired and/or wireless network connections. As illustrated in FIG. 1, gateway 120 may communicate with mobile devices 130/140/135/145 via network 125. In various embodiments, gateway 120 may be connected to network 125 via a wired and/or wireless network connection. As illustrated in FIG. 1, gateway 120 may be connected to database 115 and server 110 of the account based payment system. In various embodiments, gateway 120 may be connected to database 115 and/or server 110 via a wired or a wireless network connection. Gateway 120 may be configured to send and receive data (e.g. determining, configuring, providing, managing & presenting credit lines and/or offers from one or more providers to one or more users and using & managing accepted lines of credit & offers for purchasing online or offline products and/or services) to/from mobile devices 130/140/135/145. For example, gateway 120 may be configured to receive determined or configured lines of credit & offers for one or more users provided by one or more providers or sellers or merchants and present to one or more related users of network, so user can accept or deny or ignore and use said provided or presented lines of credit & offers request(s) for purchasing of online or offline products and/or services from a mobile device and may send the updates lines of credit & offers, user profile, user usage of account for purchasing of products and/or services, payments made, generated orders & invoices and statements, user's global or our or network wide credit scoring, user data, user accounts to database 115 for storage.
As another example, gateway 120 may be configured to send request(s) to search, match, invite, request providers or customers or users, manage & access user or provider accounts and access or view presented or provided or accepted lines of credits & offers user data, user profile, orders & invoices stored in database 115 to mobile devices 130/140/135/145. Gateway 120 may be configured to receive requests from mobile devices 130/140/135/145 for managing and accessing user or provider accounts. For example, gateway 120 may receive a request from a mobile device and may query database 115 with the request for searching and matching request specific matched users who are located at request specific place(s) or location(s). Gateway 120 may be configured to inform server 110 of updated data. For example, gateway 120 may be configured to notify server 110 when a new credit lines & offers has been received from a mobile device or device of provider(s) or seller(s) or merchant(s) and stored on database 115.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the account based payment system may include a database, such as database 115. Database 115 may be connected to gateway 120 and server 110 via wired and/or wireless connections. Database 115 may be configured to store a database of registered user's profile, accounts, determined, configured, provided, accepted & used lines of credits & offers, user data, invoices, orders & payments information received from mobile devices
130/140/135/145 via network 125 and gateway 120.
Database 115 may also be configured to receive and service requests from gateway 120. For example, database 115 may receive, via gateway 120, a request from a mobile device and may service the request by providing, to gateway 120, user profile, user data, user or provider account's related data which meet the criteria specified in the request. Database 115 may be configured to communicate with server 110. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the account based payment system may include a server, such as server 110. Server may be connected to database 115 and gateway 120 via wired and/or wireless connections. As described above, server 110 may be notified, by gateway 120, of new or updated user profile, user data, determined, configured, provided, accepted & used lines of credits & offers, purchased product(s) and/or service(s) details, payments made by users, generated invoices, statements, orders & various types of status stored in database 115. Server 110 may be configured to send updated metadata for each new or updated user profile, user data, determined, configured, provided, accepted & used lines of credits & offers, purchased product(s) and/or service(s) details, payments made by users, generated invoices, statements, orders & various types of status to database 115 such that the metadata identifies the new or updated user profile, user data, determined, configured, provided, accepted & used lines of credits & offers, purchased product(s) and/or service(s) details, payments made by users, generated invoices, statements, orders & various types of status in database 115.

In an embodiment a program is written as a series of human understandable computer instructions that can be read by a compiler and linker, and translated into machine code so that a computer can understand and run it. A program is a list of instructions written in a programming language that is used to control the behavior of a machine, often a computer (in this case it is known as a computer program). A programming language's surface form is known as its syntax. Most programming languages are purely textual; they use sequences of text including words, numbers, and punctuation, much like written natural languages. On the other hand, there are some programming languages which are more graphical in nature, using visual relationships between symbols to specify a program. In computer science, the syntax of a computer language is the set of rules that defines the combinations of symbols that are considered to be a correctly structured document or fragment in that language. This applies both to programming languages, where the document represents source code, and markup languages, where the document represents data. The syntax of a language defines its surface form. Text-based computer languages are based on sequences of characters, while visual programming languages are based on the spatial layout and connections between symbols (which may be textual or graphical or flowchart(s)). Documents that are syntactically invalid are said to have a syntax error. Syntax - the form - is contrasted with semantics - the meaning. In processing computer languages, semantic processing generally comes after syntactic processing, but in some cases semantic processing is necessary for complete syntactic analysis, and these are done together or concurrently. In a compiler, the syntactic analysis comprises the frontend, while semantic analysis comprises the backend (and middle end, if this phase is distinguished). There are millions of possible combinations, sequences, ordering, permutations & formations of inputs, interpretations, and outputs or outcomes of set of instructions of standardized or specialized or generalized or structured or functional or object oriented programming language(s).
