  • Patent number: 11388256
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing reciprocal data sharing in a data exchange system. Limitations may be placed on the amount of data an exchange member may access based on the amount of data that exchange member has contributed. The system may include determining a data contribution associated with a first member of the data exchange, determining a data access limit for the first member based on the data contribution, and providing data to the first member when the first member has not exceeded the data access limit. In some embodiments, there may be separate data access limits for each member of the data exchange, so that a first member may have different access limits when accessing data from a second member, data from a third member, and data from a fourth member. Further, the system may limit a requester to a type of data that corresponds to the type of data contributed.

  • Patent number: 11386410
    Abstract: A method being implemented via execution of computing instructions configured to run at one or more processors and stored at one or more non-transitory computer-readable media. The method can include receiving, at a transaction system being situated along a proxy communication channel extending from a point-of-sale terminal of a first entity to a mobile wallet provider, an encrypted transaction code. The encrypted transaction code can be generated and sent to the point-of-sale terminal by a mobile device that runs a mobile application associated with the mobile wallet provider. The mobile device receives from a point-of-sale terminal an identifier of the first entity, a transaction amount of a transaction, and a transaction identifier for the transaction, receives an authorization from a user of the mobile device for the transaction while the user is at the point-of-sale terminal, and determines that the mobile device is unable to communicate with the mobile wallet provider.
