  • Publication number: 20200382492
    Abstract: A network security computing system includes a network circuit enabling the network security system to exchange information over a network, a user database configured to store network security information for a plurality of users, and a network security circuit. The network security circuit is configured to receive a request to connect to a local network from a user computing device associated with a user, receive first authentication data comprising an alphanumeric passkey, receive second authentication data related to a user performing a physical action, authenticate the request by comparing the first and second authentication data with verified passkey data stored in the user database and determining that the alphanumeric passkey corresponds to a predetermined alphanumeric passkey and that the physical action corresponds to a predetermined physical action, and authorize connection of the user computing device to the local network based at least in part on the request being authenticated.

  • Publication number: 20200167499
    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.

  • Patent number: 10621564
    Abstract: Tandem transactions facilitated through automatic application of a tandem transaction limit are provided. A system includes a group manager that identifies a group including respective identifications indicative of a first user and a second user. A transaction limit manager establishes a first transaction limit for the first user, a second transaction limit for the second user, and a third transaction limit for a combination of the first and second user. A transaction manager dynamically applies the third transaction limit based on a determination that the first and second user are performing a joint transaction. The transaction manager revokes the third transaction limit after a threshold time and applies the first transaction limit to first user transactions and the second transaction limit to second user transactions. Incentives are provided if a user remains at a location for a threshold amount of time or causes other users to visit the location.

  • Patent number: 10547798
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for implementing a reality overlay device. A reality overlay device captures information that is pertinent to physical surroundings with respect to a device, the information including at least one of visual information or audio information. The reality overlay device may transmit at least a portion of the captured information to a second device. For instance, the reality overlay device may transmit at least a portion of the captured information to a server via the Internet, where the server is capable of identifying an appropriate virtual billboard. The reality overlay device may then receive overlay information for use in generating a transparent overlay via the reality overlay device. The transparent overlay is then superimposed via the device using the overlay information, wherein the transparent overlay provides one or more transparent images that are pertinent to the physical surroundings.
