  • Patent number: 11947812
    Abstract: A system including: one or more processors; a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors are configured to cause the system to: receive a plurality of user names and a plurality of anonymized user identifiers; receive a plurality of user attributes associated with one or more users of the plurality of users; receive a first plurality of hash values that uniquely identify an association between each user attribute and one or more users; receive a first request for a listing of user names associated with a first user attribute; receive a first secret key; generate a second plurality of hash values; determine a first subset of the first plurality of hash values that match the second plurality of hash values; generate a first graphical user interface including the listing of user names; and transmit the first graphical user interface to the first user device.

  • Patent number: 11831608
    Abstract: In various examples, firewalls may include machine learning models that are automatically trained and applied to analyze service inputs submitted to input processing services and to identify whether service inputs are desirable (e.g., will result in an undesirable status code if processed by a service). When a service input is determined by a firewall to be desirable, the firewall may push the service input through to the input processing service for normal processing. When a service input is determined by the firewall to be undesirable, the firewall may block or drop the service input before it reaches the input processing service and/or server. This may be used to prevent the service input, which is likely to be undesirable, from touching a server that hosts the input processing service (e.g., preventing a crash).

  • Patent number: 11763269
    Abstract: Diagnosing vehicle anomalies efficiently is dependent upon the expertise of the repair technician, but also the availability of resources. As vehicles have become increasingly computerized, repair technicians have become increasingly specialized in a smaller number of vehicle models. Dealerships and large repair shops have an advantage in that they can more easily afford to obtain specialized electronic tools. However, repair technicians in smaller repair shops often are more skilled, but are unable to afford access to advanced electronic tools and software. A system for using remotely located resources to improve the diagnosis and resolution of vehicle anomalies, including the use of expert technicians and vehicle-specific databases, is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11683302
    Abstract: Verified deliveries are commonplace for various exchanges of goods, packages, and/or other items, but often require close proximity or contact between the exchanging parties or devices associated therewith—e.g., for digital or physical signature. To remedy this, system and methods described herein may leverage an ad hoc network established between a device of a provider and a device of a consumer for exchanging codes or tokens—that may be validated by an authentication service—to provide a verification process during an exchange between the parties. As a result, a safe distance may be maintained between the parties throughout the transaction—thereby avoiding exchange of germs while also increasing safety and security of both parties—and the verification process may be more reliable and secure.

  • Publication number: 20220103539
    Abstract: In various examples, communications from a host device—which may be associated with an entity—and to a client device may be are verified through established channels of communication. Systems and methods are disclosed that use authentication signals and notifications, which may include predetermined passwords and time-sensitive values, to facilitate verification of the communication between the host device and client device. The notifications may be delivered using applications or web-based applications that are associated with an entity. Once the communication has been verified as trusted, the host device and/or the client device may present notifications that the communication is verified as trusted. The notifications may be presented using audio, video, and/or haptic methods.
