The system may further provide an augmented reality environment to a networked device that integrates identifies objects in an image and integrates notifications of supplemental resources in the augmented reality environment.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for dynamic utilization of alternative resources based on token association. The system is typically configured for receiving a request from a user to generate a generic token for a digital wallet located on a mobile device of the user, generating the generic token and associating one or more resource credentials of the user with the generic token, transmitting the generic token to the mobile device of the user and storing the generic token in the digital wallet, receiving an interaction request from an authorization network to route an interaction, and routing the interaction to complete the interaction by selecting at least one resource credential from the one or more resource credentials associated with the generic token and transmitting the at least one resource credential to the authorization network.

Abstract: Proactive acquisition of supplemental resources for interactions based on anticipated needs improves computer processing efficiency and storage requirements, as well as allowing for improved interactions over the Internet. More particularly, desired interactions of a user, previous interactions of the user, changes in available interactions for the user, and supplemental resources for which the user qualifies are used in combination to felicitate the improved interactions for the user, and which also results in the improved computer processing efficiency and storage of the interactions.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for transmitting data between networked resources. Information about a managing entity's supplemental resource is identified, where the supplemental resource supplements a set of resources associated with a user in response to a determination that a particular interaction has occurred. The supplemental resource is then determined to be associated with a third party entity's application on a computing device of the user. The third party application is adjusted by the managing entity to display a selectable notification of the supplemental resource within the third party application. Once the selectable notification is selected, the managing entity approves the supplemental resource for future use by the user. Once the particular interaction associated with the supplemental resource has occurred, the supplemental resource is applied to the set of resources at a later point in time.

Abstract: A system for digitally linking alternate resources to resource pools and allocating linked alternate resources to resource interactions. In specific embodiments, in response to allocating the alternate resource to the resource interaction, resources are re-allocated to the resource pool from which the resource interaction was initiated.

Abstract: A firearm accessory mount for a take-down rifle is disclosed. The mount has a first portion having an accessory interface, and a second portion opposing the first portion. The second portion has a locking block with a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is shaped and positioned to engage a receiver assembly of the take-down rifle. At least one of the first portion or the second portion has a barrel engagement surface. A related method is also disclosed.

Abstract: An accessory mounting interface for a firearm, and a related method, are disclosed. The interface has a firearm accessory, a first elongated fastener, and a second fastener rotationally mated to the first elongated fastener. The first elongated fastener has right-handed threading and is arranged through a through hole in the firearm accessory with a first end extending below first and second halves of a first slot protrusion of the firearm accessory. The second fastener has a length greater than a width, the length measured along a longitudinal axis of the second fastener, the second fastener having a plurality of straight edges. At least one of the plurality of straight edges prevents the second fastener from rotating further than a closed position when the at least one of the straight edges abuts a sidewall of an elongated slot in the firearm.
