  • Patent number: 9317592
    Abstract: A classifier may include logic to parse incoming content and to compare a key term in the content to stored content related to multiple prior messages, where the stored content is classified with respect to one or more categories. The logic may produce a score for the content based on the comparing, relate the score to one of the one or more categories, and produce a result based on the comparing, producing, or relating.

  • Publication number: 20150019417
    Abstract: A digital wallet provider system provides an interface specification to a financial account issuer. Using the interface specification, the financial account issuer system provides user financial account information directly to the digital wallet provider system without requiring the user to enter the user's financial account information. Once the digital wallet provider system receives the user's financial account information from the financial account issuer system, the digital wallet provider system verifies the identity of the user and the completeness of the financial account information received from the financial account issuer system. The digital wallet provider then updates the user's digital wallet account, on behalf of the user, to include the user's financial account.
