  • Patent number: 10803462
    Abstract: An attempt to conduct an electronic transaction using an electronic device is detected. The electronic device contains one or more sensors, such as an accelerometer, an ambient light sensor, a gyroscope, a GPS unit, or a transceiver. In response to the detected attempt to conduct the electronic transaction, an analysis is performed using data gathered by the one or more sensors to estimate one or more current statuses of the electronic device. The estimated one or more current statuses of the electronic device are compared with one or more expected statuses of the electronic device according to a model. An alert is generated in response to the comparison indicating that some of the estimated current statuses of the electronic device are inconsistent with the expected statuses of the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 10796298
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing interaction between a user device and an interactive display system using near field communications are provided. The interactive display system includes a display panel configured to present visual content and near field communication (NFC) devices behind or within the display panel. The interactive display system detects a user device adjacent to the display panel using at least one of the NFC devices. The interactive display system determines a position relative to the display panel for the user device. The interactive display system exchanges data with the user device based on the position. The interactive display system may receive data that includes displayable information from the user device and present the displayable information on the display panel at or near the position for the user device. The interactive display system may simultaneously interact with more than one user device.

  • Patent number: 10397264
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for providing digital dye packs in connection with a transaction via a device user interface. In an embodiment, a system includes a communication module of a remote server that interacts with a device that receives, from a user of the device, specific identifier information in connection with conducting a transaction with a recipient server; wherein the specific identifier information is associated with an alert of potential risk of the transaction. The system also includes a non-transitory memory comprising a database storing specific identifier information with corresponding actions that are executed based on the specific identifier information. The system further includes at least one hardware processor for executing an action in response to receiving corresponding identifier information associated with the alert of potential risk from the device in connection with the transaction.

  • Patent number: 10135819
    Abstract: A wearable device is used to authenticate a user into a user account at a user device of the user. In particular, the wearable device may include a sensor configured to detect a body chemistry of the user. The wearable device may send a signal, such as a short range wireless signal, Bluetooth Low Energy or the like, to the user device to communicate the detected body chemistry to the user device. The user device may authenticate the user based on the body chemistry condition detected at the wearable device. In an embodiment, the wearable device may include an olfactory sensor configured to detect certain smell or scent of the user.
