The system, method, and computer program product are configured to: (a) monitor one or more transaction involving a transaction vehicle of a user; (b) determine a physical location of a transaction vehicle based at least partially on the one or more transactions; (c) determine a geographic location of a mobile device of the user, wherein the mobile device is associated with the transaction vehicle; (d) determine whether or not the transaction vehicle of the user and the mobile device of the user are co-located; and (e) reconfigure one or more applications accessible to the mobile device or one or more functional features of the mobile device based at least partially on determining that the mobile device and the transaction vehicle of the user are not co-located.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, and a computer program product self-selected user access based on specific authentication types. The system typically including a memory, a processor, and a module configured to receive from a user, a user-selected preference, wherein the user-selected preference comprises one or more authentication types desired by the user; determine a level of authentication from a plurality of levels of authentication are associated with the one or more authentication types associated with the user-selected preference; initiate the presentation of a user interface that enables the user to select one or more application functions, wherein the one or more application functions are associated with the determined level of authentication; receive from a user, a selection of one or more application functions.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products are provided for determining a user's authentication requirements/credentials for function requiring authentication based on determining a location along an authentication continuum. The location along the authentication continuum defines the degree of authentication/credentials required to access the function and is determined based on a current state of the user and/or function attributes. The more or less that is known about the current state of the user the more or less likely the user is the user that is attempting to access the function and, thus, the authentication requirements required to access the function can be adjusted according (increased or decreased).

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products are provided for determining a user's authentication requirements/credentials for a specific network access session based on the current location of the user in comparison to known boundaries of location associated with the user, such as patterns of movement or the like. As such, the present invention serves to expedite the process for authenticating a user who desires to gain access to a network service, such as a banking application or the like.

Abstract: The present invention includes a system for authenticating a second action based on a first action, wherein the system is configured to: receive a first request to execute a first action associated with a first application; determine that execution of the first action requires user authentication; request one or more authentication credentials from the user; receive a first authentication credential associated with the first action; validate the first authentication credential, thereby resulting in a successful validation of the received first authentication credential; in response to the successful validation, execute the first action; receive a second request to execute a second action associated with a second application; determine that execution of the second action requires user authentication; use the successful validation of the first authentication credential to validate a second authentication credential so that the second action may be executed.

Abstract: In general, embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for providing a user with a predictive geo-location based receipt retrieval for post transaction action. Consumers receive e-receipts after handling a transaction with a merchant in many ways. These receipts can be stored and managed with considerably ease over physical receipts. Consumers may use these receipts after making a purchase for post transaction actions such as product return, product refund, warranty services, and/or the like. The present invention may be used to retrieve the receipts based on the consumer's geographic location, predicting a post transaction action scenario.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products are provided for determining a user's authentication requirements/credentials for a specific mobile network access session based on the current location of the user in comparison to a known typical travel route of the user. In this regard, if the user is located within the boundaries of the travel route during the time period when the user is typically travelling on the route, less, or in some instances no, authentication requirements are needed. Moreover, as the user deviates from the travel route in terms of distance and/or time the greater the authentication requirements/credentials may be required. Once the deviation is considered to significant in terms of distance and/or time full authentication requirements may be required.
