Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments include computerized systems and methods for generating secured blockchain-based ledger data structures that track occurrences of events across fragmented and geographically dispersed lines-of-business of an enterprise. In one instance, an apparatus associated with a rules authority of the secured blockchain-based ledger may detect an occurrence of a triggering event, and may access and decrypt a set of rules hashed into the secured blockchain-based ledger using a confidentially-held master cryptographic key. The apparatus may identify a rule associated with the detected event, and perform one or more operations consistent with the rule, including a disbursement of various rewards to employees in response to customer-specific interactions with the enterprise. The disclosed embodiments provide a rules process for aggregating mutually incompatible enterprise data that specifies the events, and for tracking the events in uniform data structures accessible across the enterprise.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments include computerized methods and systems that facilitate automate trade-order entry and execution based on social media messaging. In one embodiment, an apparatus may receive, from a social-networking service, social media data that includes various social media messages associated with social-networking accounts of various users. The apparatus may detect an occurrence of a predetermined element of content within a first social media message associated with a social networking account of a first user, and may extract data identifying at least one parameter of an action from the first social media message. The apparatus may generate proposed transaction parameters that include the at least one extracted action parameter, and in response to a confirmation of the proposed transaction parameters, the apparatus may generate one or more electronic commands to initiate a performance of the action in accordance with the confirmed transaction parameters.
Abstract:
A method of credential-based electronic payment processing involves a credential processing server receiving from a mobile communications device a payment initiation request for initiating payment with a payment terminal, and providing the mobile communications device with a mode authorization for an authorized communications mode for the mobile communications device to provide the payment terminal with a payment pre-authorization credential. The payment pre-authorization credential is uniquely associated with a financial account and pre-authorizes electronic payment from the financial account. The credential processing server receives from the payment terminal a payment clearing request that identifies a payment amount and includes the payment pre-authorization credential. The credential processing server determines particulars of the financial account from the payment pre-authorization credential, and effects settlement of the electronic payment by forwarding over a payment network a settlement request message identifying the payment amount and the financial account particulars.
Abstract:
A method of controlling issuance of alerts involves a server receiving notification of occurrence of an event at an account, saving in an events history the event occurrence, receiving device information from a mobile device associated with the account, and determining a position and/or speed from the device information. The server maintains at least one event definition defining particulars of suspension of notifications of events at an account. Upon the position or speed correlating with one of the event definitions, the server saves in the events history an occurrence of at least one additional event occurring at the account subsequent to the event, and suspends notification of the saved occurrences to the mobile device. The server transmits to the mobile device a notification of the occurrences saved in the events history and clears the events history upon the position and speed no longer correlating with any of the event definitions.
Abstract:
A method of authorizing a transaction involves a computer server authenticating a payment cardholder from a cardholder credential, and receiving a request from a communications terminal to initiate an online transaction with the server. The server communicates with a database of clusters, each uniquely associated with a respective cardholder and identifying an authentication card and a partial payment card number. The server requests an authentication credential from the terminal in response to determining that the requested transaction possesses a high risk of fraud. The server receives the requested authentication credential, and uses the cardholder and authentication credentials to locate the authentication card uniquely associated with the cardholder and the authentication credential in the database. The authentication credential has fewer digits than the account number of the located authentication card. The server authorizes the transaction in response to authenticating the cardholder using the account number of the located authentication card.
Abstract:
A method of identifying potentially fraudulent electronic transactions at an electronic transaction device may involve the transaction device receiving a transaction request for an electronic transaction. The transaction request may include a biometric credential sample and an authentication credential. Upon locating in the transaction history (i) no entry corresponding to the biometric credential sample or (ii) an entry comprising the biometric credential sample in association with the authentication credential, the electronic transaction device may insert into the transaction history a new entry comprising the biometric credential sample in association with the authentication credential and initiates completion of the electronic transaction. Otherwise, the transaction device may insert into the transaction history a new entry comprising the biometric credential sample in association with the authentication credential and generates an alarm signal identifying the electronic transaction as potentially fraudulent.
