  • Patent number: 11372539
    Abstract: This application relates to a method for adjusting a user interface displayed on a user device using a masking layer, for example, so as to hide or block account information. In one aspect, the method includes displaying one or more accounts included in account information received from a financial institution server on a screen of the user device. The method may also include displaying a masking layer to cover a balance display area of the accounts displayed on the screen. The method may further include, if a touch event dragged in one direction occurs on the balance display area, adjusting a size of the masking layer using a length between a touch start point and a touch end point of the touch event. The method may further include, when the touch event ends, readjusting the size of the masking layer to cover the balance display area.

  • Patent number: 11347893
    Abstract: Described herein are a system and methods for obfuscating sensitive data during a data capture event in order to prevent unauthorized reproduction of that sensitive data. In some embodiments, an event listener detects an event likely to result in a data capture and notifies an obfuscation module. The obfuscation module then identifies sensitive data fields, determines an appropriate obfuscation technique for each data field, and obfuscates the identified data fields for the duration of the event. In some embodiments, any active data input actions may be canceled. In some embodiments, the data values within the obfuscated data fields may be revealed upon completion of the event.
