  • Patent number: 11651351
    Abstract: A computer system receives an indication from a user that the user wishes to perform a mobile wallet transaction to transfer funds to a recipient using a mobile device. The transaction is authenticated by the computer system. The authentication includes receiving login credentials manually entered by the user and determining that the login credentials match stored login credentials for the user. The authentication further includes determining that the mobile device has a device token stored thereon that matches a device token stored in a database of the computer system. The device token uniquely identifies the mobile device in the computer system. The authentication further includes determining that the mobile device has a customer token stored thereon that matches the customer token stored in the database. The customer token uniquely identifying the customer in the computer system. The computer system transmits the funds to the recipient responsive to the authenticating step.

  • Patent number: 11636471
    Abstract: The Social Data Tracking Datastructures, Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“SDTD”) transforms brokerage order request, blockchain transaction request, agency action request inputs via SDTD components into brokerage order confirmation, transaction confirmation, agency action notification outputs. An agency action request is obtained from a user of an agency oversight configured blockchain. A transaction identifier of an unwind transaction associated with the agency action request is determined. An unwind address associated with the agency action request is determined. The agency oversight configured blockchain is analyzed to determine an affected transaction for the unwind transaction, wherein the affected transaction involves unspent crypto tokens that originated from the unwind transaction. An agency blockchain transaction request that facilitates transferring crypto tokens from an address associated with the affected transaction to the unwind address is generated.

  • Patent number: 11636468
    Abstract: A method for encapsulating transaction instrument information in a transaction includes storing, in association with a first transaction and by a processor of the primary transaction processor server, payment data associated with a payment instrument used to settle a cost of a first transaction. The primary transaction processor server transmits the transaction data to a payment network processor. The primary transaction processor server receives an authorization package from the payment network processor that includes a cryptograph and a first network token. The processor of the primary transaction processor server generates a secondary token, and stores a correlation record to a computer-readable memory. The correlation record associates the secondary token to a second object stored by the primary transaction processor. The processor of the primary transaction processor server transmits a second transaction package including at least one of the network token and the secondary token to a merchant device.

  • Patent number: 11625752
    Abstract: A cryptographic anonymization method, apparatus, and system are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a server configured to receive encrypted usage information and an identifier from an application operating on a user terminal and trans-cypher the encrypted usage information from a first encryption scheme to a second encryption scheme to create second encrypted usage information without decrypting the encrypted usage information. The server is also configured to convert and encrypt the identifier to an encrypted unique identifier. The server is further configured to compare the second encrypted usage information to a taxonomy of data labels using rules. For each match of at least some of the second encrypted usage information to a data label, the server is configured to add the encrypted unique identifier to the matching data label. The server uses the data labels and/or the encrypted unique identifier for serving advertisements to the user.

  • Patent number: 11626986
    Abstract: A method of rescinding access to blockchain data may include the addition of metadata to an entire blockchain or to component blocks in a blockchain which contain the encrypted keys for each owner or otherwise authorized party. Said metadata may be added when a block is created, including metadata to store state and communicate information. After a blockchain is published, an authorized party may request rescission of access to one or more blocks or the entire blockchain by appending one or more instruction blocks to the chain. The other parties authorized to access this block or blockchain may agree to said request. If a sufficient number of parties have agreed to rescind, the removal of access keys may be publicly confirmed with the result that the original data held within the block or blockchain can no longer be decrypted.

  • Patent number: 11615398
    Abstract: Digital or “smart” contracts execute in a blockchain environment. Any entity (whether public or private) may specify a digital contract via a contract identifier in a blockchain. Because there may be many digital contracts offered as virtual services, the contract identifier uniquely identifies a particular digital contract offered by a virtual machine, vendor or supplier. The blockchain is thus not burdened with the programming code that is required to execute the digital contract. The blockchain need only include or specify the contract identifier (and perhaps one or more contractual parameters), thus greatly simplifying the blockchain and reducing its size (in bytes) and processing requirements.
