Benefits of this technology:

• Convenience: Users can quickly and easily make online purchases without the hassle of entering payment information each time.
• Enhanced security: Virtual cards help protect users' financial information by keeping it separate for each merchant.
• Personalization: The system can offer personalized promotions or discounts based on users' online activities.

Abstract

Virtual cards are proactively provisioned for online purchases. Merchant transactions or user browser actions can be analyzed for the existence of a trigger condition such as recurrent merchant transactions or registration on a merchant website, among other things. In response to detecting the trigger condition, a request is sent to a customer for permission to add a virtual card for payment of a merchant online. Subsequently, a request is submitted for the virtual card for the customer from a financial institution in response to permission being granted, where the virtual card is linked to an account of the customer at the financial institution. A browser script can next be executed that adds the virtual card as the primary payment method of a website of the merchant.

Brief explanation

The patent application describes a system for updating a database with wireless connection information and providing this information to other devices. Here are the key points:

• Wireless connection information for wireless devices is received and used to update entries in a database.
• Instructions to provide connection information to a second device are received via a first device.
• Based on the instructions and the entries in the database, first wireless connection information for a first wireless beacon device is provided to the second device.
• The first wireless connection information includes security information for connecting to the first wireless beacon device.
• The first wireless beacon device is selected based on its proximity to the location of the second device.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Smart home systems: The system can update the database with wireless connection information from various smart devices and provide this information to other devices in the home network.
• Retail and marketing: The system can update the database with wireless connection information from beacons placed in stores, allowing customers to receive relevant information and offers on their devices based on their proximity to these beacons.
• Industrial automation: The system can update the database with wireless connection information from sensors and devices in an industrial setting, enabling efficient monitoring and control of equipment.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Simplifies the process of updating a database with wireless connection information by automating the process.
• Enables easy sharing of wireless connection information between devices, eliminating the need for manual configuration.
• Improves the user experience by providing secure and accurate wireless connection information to devices based on their proximity to beacon devices.

Benefits of this technology:

• Streamlines the setup and configuration of wireless devices by automatically updating the database with connection information.
• Enhances the connectivity and communication between devices by providing accurate and secure wireless connection information.
• Improves the efficiency and effectiveness of various applications, such as smart home systems and retail marketing, by leveraging proximity-based wireless connection information.

Abstract

In some embodiments, wireless connection information for wireless devices may be received. Based on the wireless connection information, one or more entries stored in a database may be updated. One or more instructions to provide connection information to a second device may be received via a first device of a user. Based on the instructions and the entries, first wireless connection information for a first wireless beacon device may be provided to the second device. In some embodiments, the first wireless connection information may include security information that enables the second user device to connect to the first wireless beacon device. In some embodiments, the first wireless beacon device may be selected from a set of devices based on a proximity of the first wireless beacon device to a location of the second device.

GENERATING A SCREENING INTERFACE FOR COMMUNICATIONS (18455602)

Main Inventor

Asher SMITH-ROSE

Brief explanation

Methods and systems are described in this patent application for manipulating a communication acceptance screen, manipulating an interactive communication acceptance icon, and restricting access to accounts based on voice communication parameters.

• When a communication is detected from one device to another device, it may be considered risky.
• The system mitigates this risk by providing the user with information about the source of the communication, allowing them to reject it if desired.
• If the user accepts the communication, the system enables monitoring of the communication.
• The system also restricts any accounts that are disclosed within the communication.

Potential Applications

• This technology can be applied in various communication platforms, such as messaging apps, voice call services, and video conferencing tools.
• It can be used to enhance security and privacy by giving users more control over incoming communications.
• This technology can be integrated into customer service systems to verify the authenticity of incoming calls and protect against fraudulent activities.

Problems Solved

• Risky communications can pose a threat to users, such as phishing attempts or fraudulent calls.
• Users may unknowingly disclose sensitive information during a communication, leading to potential security breaches.
• It can be challenging for users to differentiate between legitimate and risky communications.

Benefits

• Users are provided with information about the source of a communication, allowing them to make informed decisions on whether to accept or reject it.
• Monitoring of accepted communications helps detect and prevent potential security breaches.
• Restricting access to disclosed accounts adds an extra layer of protection for users' sensitive information.

Abstract

Methods and systems are described herein for manipulating a communication acceptance screen, manipulating an interactive communication acceptance icon, and restricting access to accounts based on voice communication parameters. In particular, when a communication is detected from one device to another device, that communication may be risky. Thus, the risk is mitigated by giving a user information about the source of the communication to give a user a chance to reject the communication. In addition, in instances where the user accepts the communication, the system enables monitoring the communication and restricting any accounts that are disclosed within the communication.
