  • Patent number: 11921836
    Abstract: A method for authenticating a wearable device is disclosed. The method includes: receiving, from a tokenization service provider (TSP), a signal representing a first code derived by the TSP from decrypting a security token previously provisioned in the computing device, wherein the security token was received at a terminal from the computing device and transmitted to the TSP; obtaining, based on the received signal representing the first code, a device identifier of the computing device and an identifier of an account; querying a device database to verify that the computing device is associated with a first status; verifying that the account is enabled for an operation initiated using the computing device; and transmitting an authorization message to the terminal, the authorization message authorizing the operation.

  • Patent number: 11895095
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that, among other things, authenticate device identity and authorize exchanges of data in real-time based on dynamically generated cryptographic data. For example, an apparatus may receive a first signal that includes a first cryptogram associated with a client device, and may perform operations that authenticate an identity of the client device based on a comparison of the received first cryptogram and a second cryptogram generated by a computing system associated with an application program executed by the client device. In response to the authenticated identity, the apparatus may load profile data associated with the client device from a storage unit, and perform operations consistent with the profile data in accordance with the authenticated identity.

  • Patent number: 11694181
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for intercepting data exchange requests and automatically imposing a hold period while the data exchange is evaluated for a user profile initiating the request. One example system includes operations to detect a data exchange request prior to completion of the attempted data exchange, the data exchange request including information defining the attempted data exchange and associated wherein the attempted data exchange is associated with a particular user profile. A portion of the information is transmitted to a data exchange analysis system for execution of a user profile-specific data exchange analysis based on the information and a status of the user profile. A hold state is initiated for the data exchange request while the analysis is performed. The results of the analysis are presented and a confirmation to proceed is required before allowing the attempted data exchange to be processed.

  • Patent number: 11544694
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that, among other things, authorize initiated exchanges of data based on tokenized data characterized by a limited temporal or geographic validity. For example, an apparatus may receive a first signal that includes first information identifying a first geographic position of a client device. The apparatus may also obtain a digital token representative of a pre-authorization of a data exchange between the client device and a terminal device during a corresponding temporal interval. The terminal device may, for example, be disposed within a geographic region that includes the first geographic position of the client device. The apparatus may generate and transmit a second signal that includes the digital token to the client device. In some examples, the apparatus may transmit the second signal being through a programmatic interface associated with an application program executed by the client device.

  • Patent number: 10943605
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for personalizing interactions within a conversational interface based on an input context. One example system performs operations including receiving a conversational input received via a conversational interface. The conversational input is analyzed to determine an intent and lexical personality score based on the input's characteristics. A set of responsive content is determined and includes a set of initial tokens representing an initial response. A set of synonym tokens associated with at least some of the initial tokens are identified, and at least one synonym token associated with a similar lexical personality score to the input is determined. At least one of the initial tokens are replaced with the determined synonym token to generate a modified version of the set of response content. The modified version of the response is then transmitted to a device in response to the input.
