Patent number: 11042869Abstract: A payment object service receives a request from a giver to associate a payment amount to an object. The request includes one or more images of the object and recipient information, which the payment object service uses to determine whether the association between these images and the information is unique. If the association is unique, the payment object service updates a database to associate the payment amount to the object and enable redemption of the payment amount. When the payment object service receives a request to redeem at least a portion of the payment amount, the payment object service may use one or more images and recipient information obtained from the request to verify that the images and information together correspond to the object. Once the redemption is complete, the payment object service may update the database to specify the current remaining payment amount.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Ryan Jezorek, Scott Kenneth Bishop, Brenda Renee' Campbell, Darren Ernest Canavor, Scott Donald Gregory, Jesper Mikael Johansson, David James Kane-Parry, Eric Michael Laird, Brian Young Lee, Ido Mittelman, Gregory Branchek Roth, James Arthur Wilson

Patent number: 10313882Abstract: An access control application for mobile devices is provided. The access control application may be configured to generate a set of security tasks based at least in part on information corresponding to a user's interactions with the mobile device. An unlock screen of the mobile device may be triggered and security tasks from the generated set of security tasks may be displayed through a user interface of the mobile device. The user's response to the security tasks may be obtained and a confidence score may be calculated, based at least in part on the response. The access control application may then determine, based at least in part on the score and one or more attributes of the environment, whether to unlock the mobile device or prompt the user to provide an additional response to another security task.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2017Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jesper Mikael Johansson, Phivos Costas Aristides, Darren Ernest Canavor, Arnaud Marie Froment, Scott Donald Gregory, Cory Adam Johnson, Chelsea Celest Krueger, Jon Arron McClintock, Vijay Rangarajan, Andrew Jay Roths
