Patent number: 11954661Abstract: The validity of a mail item containing a monetary solicitation is determined. An image is received of the mail item and the image is analyzed to identify a plurality of data fields within the mail item. The validity or invalidity of the data within each of the plurality of identified data fields is then established, and a user-interactive image overlay is generated for the image of the mail item that includes a validity indicator for each of the plurality of identified data fields. The validity indicator is representative of the validity or invalidity of the data within each of the identified plurality of data fields.

Publication number: 20240104985Abstract: Systems and methods for mutual authentication of a user and a container administrator computer system. A container administrator computer system receives a request from a mobile computing device for a user to access a secure container. The request includes a user identifier. The administrator system receives a first authentication factor corresponding to the user. The administrator system authenticates the user by verifying that the first authentication factor matches a first reference authentication factor associated with the user identifier. The administrator system sends a second authentication factor associated with the administrator system to a human-machine interface associated with the secure container or the mobile computing device. The administrator system receives a notification of authentication of the administrator system using the authentication factor. The administrator system transmits an unlock signal to unlock the secure container.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Darren Goetz, Chris Kalaboukis, Lisa Magana, Andrew Martinez, Uma Meyyappan, Dennis Montenegro, Marla Pacis, Timothy Ward

Publication number: 20230302359Abstract: Virtual entities are displayed alongside real world entities in a wearable reality overlay device worn by the user. Information related to an environment proximate to the wearable device is determined. For example, a position of the wearable device may be determined, a camera may capture an image of the environment, etc. Virtual entity image information representative of an entity desired to be virtually displayed is processed based on the determined information. An image of the entity is generated based on the processed image information as a non-transparent region of a lens of the wearable device, enabling the entity to appear to be present in the environment to the user. The image of the entity may conceal a real world entity that would otherwise be visible to the user through the wearable device. Other real world entities may be visible to the user through the wearable device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Applicant: SAMSUNG ELECTRONCS CO., LTD.Inventors: Chris KALABOUKIS, Stephan Douris, Marc Perry, Barry Crane
