Abstract:
The present invention includes a system for authenticating a second action based on a first action, wherein the system is configured to: receive a first request to execute a first action associated with a first application; determine that execution of the first action requires user authentication; request one or more authentication credentials from the user; receive a first authentication credential associated with the first action; validate the first authentication credential, thereby resulting in a successful validation of the received first authentication credential; in response to the successful validation, execute the first action; receive a second request to execute a second action associated with a second application; determine that execution of the second action requires user authentication; use the successful validation of the first authentication credential to validate a second authentication credential so that the second action may be executed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, and a computer program product for a user authentication based on self-selected preferences. The system typically including a memory, a processor, and a module configured to receive a request to execute a user action from a user associated with an application, wherein the user action requires validation of one or more authentication credentials; access a user-selected preference indicating a level of authentication associated with a user-selected preference as desired by the user; determine authentication types from a plurality of authentication types associated with the level of authentication and the user-selected preference; request one or more authentication credentials corresponding to the determined one or more authentication types; receive one or more authentication credentials from the user; validate the one or more authentication credentials and in response to the successful validation of the one or more authentication credentials, execute the user action.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products are provided for determining a user's authentication requirements/credentials for a specific network access session based on the current location of the user in comparison to known boundaries of location associated with the user, such as the user's residence, place of business or the like. As such, the present invention serves to expedite the process for authenticating a user who desires to gain access to a network service, such as a banking application or the like.
Abstract:
Systems, methods and computer programs provide for implementing a mobile communication device, such as a smart telephone or the like, as a point of transaction for in-store purchases, such that all a customer needs to do is capture the coded indicia of products they desire (i.e., scan the products) with their mobile communication device as they shop and the purchase transaction will subsequently occur based on either the customer (in possession of the mobile communication device) being physically located in a designated area of the store or the lapse of a predetermined period of time from when the coded indicia was captured.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatus, and computer program products are provided for implementing a wearable computing device having an Optical Head-Mounted Display (OHMD) to automatically determine which individuals within a business environment, such as a retail store, banking center or the like, are established customers. Such a determination of established customer status is conducted without requiring any action on behalf of the individuals/customers currently located within the business environment and can be accomplished when the established customer enters the business location or shortly thereafter. Once established customers are identified, customer indicators are provided within the view of the OHMD, so that a business associate/employee can readily identity which individual within their field of view are established customers.
Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for providing user authentication based on transaction data. Embodiments receive from a user, a request to execute a user action associated with an application, wherein execution of the user action requires validation of authentication credentials; collect a transaction set of data comprising information related to transactions conducted by the user; collect a location set of data comprising information related to a physical location of the user; determine a transaction proximity score associated with the user and the transactions; determine a level of authentication associated with the determined transaction proximity score; determine which authentication types are associated with the level of authentication; request authentication credentials; receive authentication credentials from the user; validate the authentication credentials, thereby resulting in a successful validation of the authentication credentials; and, in response to the successful validation of the authentication credentials, execute the user action.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products are provided for determining a user's authentication requirements/credentials for a specific mobile network access session based on the current location of the user in comparison to a known typical travel route of the user. In this regard, if the user is located within the boundaries of the travel route during the time period when the user is typically travelling on the route, less, or in some instances no, authentication requirements are needed. Moreover, as the user deviates from the travel route in terms of distance and/or time the greater the authentication requirements/credentials may be required. Once the deviation is considered to significant in terms of distance and/or time full authentication requirements may be required.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products are provided for determining a user's authentication requirements/credentials for a specific network access session based on the current location of the user in comparison to predetermined boundaries of location that have altered authentication requirements, in the form of, increased or decreased authentication requirements/credentials that differ from the standard authentication requirements.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide misappropriation protection with user location verification. The methods, apparatus and computer program products provide for approving a transaction based at least partially on a determining that a mobile device associated with an account holder associated with a transaction is located within a predetermined distance from the location associated with the transaction. In some example implementations where the mobile device is located outside the predetermined distance from the location associated with the transaction, information associated with previously approved transactions is received and the transaction approved based at least partially on a determination that previously approved transaction have occurred at the same location.
Abstract:
In general, apparatuses, methods and computer program products for making contactless financial transactions utilizing a mobile wallet are disclosed. Particularly, a mobile wallet application is disclosed that utilizes, at least in part, user specific data to generate a payment vehicle recommendation for different transactions. The user specific data may include the active user profile, prior payment vehicle usage, user preferences for the type of transaction, user location, rewards programs associated with use of one or more payment vehicles, or the like, or combinations thereof.
