  • Patent number: 11625716
    Abstract: A device may configure a browser to permit cash payments for online transactions. The device may monitor a browser session of the browser. The device may detect, during the browser session, navigation of the browser to a transaction page of a website. The transaction page may be configured to facilitate an online transaction with the website. The device may determine, based on detecting the navigation of the browser to the transaction page, that a cash payment is to be provided. The device may cause a validation code to be generated. The device may cause, based on the validation code being processed, a virtual transaction card to be generated. The device may facilitate, using virtual card information associated with the virtual transaction card, execution of the online transaction.

  • Patent number: 11618562
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and method for subduing target individuals using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) comprises deploying one or more UAVs to a location of an individual. The method obtains information about the individual from the one or more UAVs and external sources. The method assigns an aggression factor to the individual based on the obtained information. In response to determining that the aggression factor is greater than an aggression threshold, the method prepares a neutralization action designed to reduce the aggression factor of the individual by: identifying one or more exception conditions of the individual, and selecting, from a plurality of neutralization actions that the one or more UAVs are capable of performing, a neutralization action based on the one or more exception conditions. The method then instructs the one or more UAVs to perform the selected neutralization action on the hostile individuals.

  • Patent number: 11605126
    Abstract: The concept involves efficiently using machine learning to quickly identify possible fraudulent applications in small business loan and credit applications by automatically flagging applications that meet certain criteria. In one preferred implementation, the tool compares a business description to a selected NAICS code in a loan application to assess the potential for fraud. Specifically, an algorithm can match the leftmost two digits of the selected code with the description of the category from an applicant. An engine calculates a probability of a fraud score based on the matching attached to the application. Because the tool detects fraud proactively rather than reactively, it substantially reduces computational costs and resources and reduces the biases associated with highly intensive manual work.

  • Patent number: 11574311
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to optimizing the secure provisioning of credentials to mobile devices through use of risk decision non-overrides. In some embodiments, a service provider receives a request from a wallet provider to provision a credential associated with an account to a mobile device. The request includes a first risk level associated with the provisioning. The service provider receives a second risk level associated with the provisioning request from an issuer of the account. Based upon determining that a non-override condition exists, the service provider uses the first risk level from the wallet provider and accordingly causes a user authentication to occur. A non-override condition may be determined based upon scenario indicators received within the provisioning request. In some embodiments, the non-override condition may be ignored when the first risk level indicates medium risk and the second risk level indicates high risk.

  • Patent number: 11568405
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to the generation of a token associated with a status. The status of the token may affect how the token is treated and the types of restrictions placed on the token. The status of the token may indicate that the token is generated based on verification of secure user data. Alternatively, the status of the token may indicate that the token is generated based on insufficient user data and, as such, restrictions may be imposed on the token. The token requestor may be a mobile application, such as a merchant mobile application provisioned on a user device. In response to a token request from the merchant, the token provider issues tokens with varying status based on a confidence level. The status of the token may be indicated in terms of token assurance level.

  • Patent number: 11538020
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure processors and devices for providing disposable account cards using a contactless reader and contactless communication tag. A processor receives, via an antenna module from the contactless reader, radio signal data of a radio signal emitted by a contactless tag, where the radio signal data includes encoded tag data including a tag identifier. The processor determines that the contactless tag is a new contactless tag based on the tag identifier being unlinked to any account, and generates a disposable account card identifier in a user account including a unique disposable account number. The processor generates an account link that links the tag identifier to the disposable account card identifier such that the tag identifier refers to the unique disposable account number for performing contactless electronic requests to the user account in place of a user account card.
