Patent number: 11449868Abstract: A system is provided for voice activated remittances. The system may perform operations that include receiving at least one audio stream corresponding to a real-time voice communication between a first user and a second user and identifying, based on the at least one audio stream, a set of words. The operation may also include determining that the set of words indicates a desired payment transaction between the first user and the second user and determining a payment amount to be remitted from the first user to the second user. Further the operations may include causing the payment amount to be remitted from a first financial account corresponding to the first user to a second financial account corresponding to the second user.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2016Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Todd Studnicka, Adhish Vyas

Patent number: 11301310Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for shared application interface data through a device-to-device communication session. A user may utilize a device to engage in an electronic communication session with another user, such as a shared messaging or video chat session. During the session, the user may utilize another application on the same device to perform separate application data processing, such as accessing a website or an online marketplace that may include interface output data. The user may activate a plug-in or add-on that may allow application data sharing for current application data in the separate application during the communication session. The device may determine the present application data, such as a displayable instance of the current interface data, and may transmit the data to the other user's device through the communication session. Further, the plug-in may allow for split transaction and data processing.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventor: Todd Studnicka

Patent number: 11250082Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for text processing of message data for item query submission. A computing device may receive message data from a messaging application, such as a text message or email. A user may utilize an input device to select or highlight a portion of the message data as text input, and utilize an application plug-in and menu from a service provider to communicate the text input to the service provider. A service provider may determine a query on a preferred merchant platform using the input. An item may be determined using the query and a platform. The service provider may then generate user interface data for the messaging application that causes the text input to output item data for the item within the application. The computing device may navigate to the merchant platform through the item data.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventor: Todd Studnicka

Publication number: 20200184166Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for location-based embedded patterns for vehicle detection and data processing. A user's device, which may be connected to or associated with a vehicle may include a directional camera capable of capturing images in a direction for a directional perspective of the vehicle, such as a front, side, or back. The image captured may have an embedded pattern or code that is associated with data that may decoded or retrievable using the embedded pattern. The vehicle's device may utilize the code to determine the data and may activate a process for an application based on the data. In some embodiments, the data may also be loaded to the process or may cause the process to load or retrieve other data. The vehicle's device may utilize the process based on a location of the vehicle, as well as services provided at the location.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2018Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventor: Todd Studnicka
