  • Publication number: 20210142327
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to apparatuses and methods for a financial institution computing system of a financial institution to generate a financial indicator of a non-publically traded company. In some arrangements, the financial institution computing system receives from a user device associated with the user a request message indicating that the user is initiating the potential transaction with the non-publically traded company via the user device before a user enters into a transaction with the non-publically traded company. In addition, the financial institution computing system determines the financial indicator of the non-publically traded company based on transaction history of the non-publically traded company. Furthermore, the financial institution computing system transmits to the user device the financial indicator.

  • Patent number: 11006157
    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods and systems for viewing a collection of media objects, such as a video clip and associated responses (video, audio and text), in a seamless way. Provided with a media object and a series of responses and counter responses, a real time media combining methodology is coupled with a text and audio conversion process to generate a media stream, or downloadable media object, that contains the original media object and some or all of the associated responses. The media content is formatted into the stream so that ancillary content, like text associated with a particular video response, may also be displayed. Advertisements may be inserted into the stream between responses or overlaying some portion of the viewing area during rendering of the stream.

  • Patent number: 10922433
    Abstract: Systems and methods for interrupting disclosure of sensitive information are described. Sensitive information data associated with a user is maintained. A primary device detects commencement of a voice input to a secondary device. As the voice input is detected by the primary device, the voice input is analyzed to determine the content of the voice input. The content is compared to the sensitive information data to determine whether the voice input contains sensitive information. When the primary device determines the voice input contains sensitive information, a speaker of the primary device is controlled to generate a noise canceling signal which interrupts receipt of further sensitive information by the secondary device.

  • Publication number: 20200380481
    Abstract: A method for autonomous bill payment with automatic social overdraft protection includes pattern mining payment transaction information of a funds account. A future payment transaction is predicted for the funds account. The future payment transaction for the funds account is evaluated against a balance of the funds account to determine a shortfall amount. An automatic funds transfer is initiated from a social lender account to the funds account to cover the shortfall amount, the funds transfer comprising a socially-funded loan. The terms of the socially-funded loan are automatically determined. In some embodiments, a user is associated with a social lender account and is provided with a subscription notification. The subscription notification is structured to allow the user to opt into automatic social overdraft protection.
