Abstract:
A method and system for recommending a physical location at which to complete an electronic activity are disclosed. In some examples, initiation of the electronic activity by a user at a first physical location is detected, that the electronic activity is to be completed at a physical location different from the first physical location is determined, one or more portions of the electronic activity that remain incomplete are determined, a second physical location at which to complete the one or more incomplete portions of the electronic activity is identified, and information about the electronic activity is provided to the second physical location. In some examples, the identification of the second physical location is based on at least characteristics of the electronic activity, the user, and/or the second physical location.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems for providing a notification relating to a geographical boundary based on monitored sensor data collected by networked devices. The disclosed embodiments include, for example, a method for receiving, by one or more processors, a request to establish a first boundary around a first location. The method may also include monitoring, by the one or more processors, one or more triggering devices. The method may also include calculating, by the one or more processors, a first boundary extent delimiting the geographical area of the first boundary based on one or more boundary extent parameters. The method may also include detecting, by the one or more processors, whether at least one of the one or more triggering devices is located within the first boundary extent. The method may also include, when the at least one of the one or more triggering devices is detected within the first boundary extent, sending, by the one or more processors, a notification to a client device based on the determining.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems that automatically populate interfaces facilitating electronic transactions. In one embodiment, a system may detect an system-generated event triggering an account transfer transaction. The system may also determine a first account associated with a first user based on the detected event, and determine a second account based on the detected event and a set of rules associated with the first user. The system may generate, based on the detected event and the set of rules, first information used to provide prefilled content identifying the first account as a source account and the determined second account as a destination account. The system may also generate, in response to an authorization, second information used to provide second content including a notification that a transfer of funds from the first account to the second account has occurred.
Abstract:
A method of person-to-person anonymous electronic payment processing may involve a payment processing server receiving from a payor payment device a payment initiation request for a payment from a payor account. The payment initiation request may identify a payment amount and excludes payee particulars and the payee account. The server may also receive from a payee payment device a payment completion request requesting completion of the payment. The payment completion request may include a payee identifier and exclude the payment amount, payor account and payor particulars. The server may confirm that the payment completion request is uniquely associated with the payee payment device and the payee identifier, and determine the payment amount and the payor account by correlating the payment completion request with the payment initiation request. In accordance with an outcome of the confirming, the payment processing server may effect a transfer in the payment amount from the payor account to the payee account.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments include methods and point-of-sale terminals for authenticating a user. The disclosed embodiments include, for example, a method for receiving, by one or more processors, authentication data from an authentication network, the authentication data including an authentication code identifying an authentication transaction associated with an authenticating partner system. The method may also include validating, by the one or more processors, the authentication data, the validating comprising comparing the authentication data with validation data corresponding to a prior authentication event associated with the user. The method may also include generating, by the one or more processors, validation information based on the validating, the validation information comprising a determination whether to validate the user for the authentication transaction. The method may also include providing, by the one or more processors, the validation information to the authentication network.
Abstract:
A method and system for recommending a physical location at which to complete an electronic activity are disclosed. In some examples, initiation of the electronic activity by a user at a first physical location is detected, that the electronic activity is to be completed at a physical location different from the first physical location at least in part because completion of the electronic activity requires the user and one or more other parties is determined, one or more portions of the electronic activity that remain incomplete are determined, a second physical location at which to complete the one or more incomplete portions of the electronic activity is identified, and information about the electronic activity is provided to the one or more other parties.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems for providing a notification relating to a geographical boundary based on monitored sensor data collected by networked devices. The disclosed embodiments include, for example, a method that monitors positional sensor data received from one or more triggering devices. The method may calculate a first boundary extent delimiting the geographical area of the first boundary based on one or more boundary extent parameters. The method may also detect an occurrence of a triggering condition that impacts a movement of at least one of a client device or at least one of the triggering devices within a geographic region that includes the first location. In response to the detected triggering event, at least one of modified start time or a second location may be established for the event, which may be provided to the client and triggering devices in a notification.

Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments include systems and methods for issuing a virtual certified financial instrument. The disclosed embodiments may be configured to receive a financial instrument request for a virtual certified financial instrument, generate a payor token and a payee token, generate a reference token from the payor token and the payee token using an algorithm rendering it computationally infeasible for the reference token to be derived from only one of the payor token and the payee token, and uniquely associate the reference token with the virtual certified financial instrument. The disclosed embodiments may also be configured to receive, from the payor device or the payee device, a financial instrument redemption request that includes a composite token, and redeem the virtual financial instrument in accordance with a confirmation that the composite token matches the reference token.
