Patent number: 12001536Abstract: Various examples described herein are directed to systems and methods for managing an interface between a user and a user computing device. The user computing device may determine that an audio sensor in communication with the user computing device indicates a first command in a user voice of the user, where the first command instructs the user computing device to perform a first task. The user computing device may determine that the audio sensor also indicates a first ambient voice different than the user voice and match the first ambient voice to a first known voice. The user computing device may determine that a second computing device associated with the first known voice is within a threshold distance of the user computing device and select a first privacy level for the first task based at least in part on the first known voice.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2022Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Tambra Nichols, Teresa Lynn Rench, Jonathan Austin Hartsell, John C. Brenner, Christopher James Williams

Publication number: 20240086856Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method are provided for adaptively controlling communication activity of a communication system. The method stores user information comprising contact preferences, a goal, and account information. The system may receive external information by a trigger engine which applies a trigger rule to determine a degree of relatedness between the goal and at least one of external information and the account information. When the degree of relatedness exceeds a threshold, then the contact preferences may be used to format a communication related to the external information based on the contact preferences. The system may then send the communication to the user by the communication entity according to the contact preferences, and, based on a feedback or lack of feedback from the user related to the communication, adjust at least one of the contact preferences, the trigger rule, or a weighting factor of the trigger rule.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2018Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: John C. Brenner, Donna Marie Greene, Carter C. Hansen, Tambra Nichols, Elizabeth Long Swindler, Keith Meade Sykes

Publication number: 20220051581Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method are provided for preparing and transmitting an education content module to a user. The method comprises receiving educational information and processing the educational information to produce an education content module that is tagged based on its content with a content engine. The tagged module is stored in an educational content module database in a memory of the system. The following preferences are determined and stored: a user packaging preference for packaging of the education content module, a user delivery preference for delivering the education content module, and an educational interest preference for locating educational information. Responsive to a trigger criterion associated with the user being met, contents of the education content module are formatted into a formatted education content module according to the user packaging preference, and sent to the user via the network interface according to the user delivery preference.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2018Publication date: February 17, 2022Inventors: John C. Brenner, Donna Marie Greene, Carter C. Hansen, Tambra Nichols, Elizabeth Long Swindler, Keith Meade Sykes

Patent number: 11080605Abstract: Systems and techniques for interest matched interaction initialization are described herein. A first set of profile attributes for a first user and second set of profile attributes for a second user may be obtained. A first set of data sources and a second set of data sources may be identified respectively using the first set and second set of profile attributes. A first dataset and a second dataset may be collected respectively using the first and second set of data sources. An interest vector model may be generated using data elements of the first dataset based on an interest identified in the first dataset. The second dataset may be evaluated using the interest vector model to identify the interest as a shared interest in the second dataset. An interaction initialization item may be generated by identifying content associated with the shared interest. The interaction initialization item may be transmitted to a device.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2016Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Chad Allen Yarbrough, John C.
