Abstract: A financial institution computing system includes a network circuit exchanging information over a network, a customer database storing financial information, and a transaction circuit. The transaction circuit receives a transaction request associated with a user computing device. The transaction request specifies a financial account. The transaction circuit receives payment card location information indicative of a location of a payment card with respect to the user computing device. The payment card location information indicates that the payment card is within a threshold distance of the user computing device. The transaction circuit authenticates the transaction request using the payment card location information and by determining whether the payment card is associated with an authorized user of the financial account.

Abstract: A parametric stereo upmix method for generating a left signal and a right signal from a mono downmix signal based on spatial parameters includes predicting a difference signal comprising a difference between the left signal and the right signal based on the mono downmix signal scaled with a prediction coefficient. The prediction coefficient is derived from the spatial parameters. The method further includes deriving the left signal and the right signal based on a sum and a difference of the mono downmix signal and said difference signal.

Abstract: A management system of a computing device provides enhanced functionality via selectable icons (e.g., tiles), presented on a home screen, that may be overlaid to perform overlay operations such as data transfer, payment, and/or granting of certain authorizations or permissions. Users are able to more readily perform cross-application and/or cross-entity operations via, for example, the operating system of a computing device without needing to engage with as many entities (or applications thereof). Tile overlay operations may be managed and reviewed via an application.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining and displaying platform-specific end-to-end security vulnerabilities via a graphical user interface (GUI) are disclosed. To provide users with visual indications of vulnerable computing aspects associated with a computing platform, the system identifies computing aspects associated with a platform.

The system then generates for display on a GUI, a graphical layout comprising each computing aspect impact level for each computing aspect associated with the platform.

Abstract: Techniques are described that include detecting customer personal information within any appropriate set of data, such as customer communications produced by customer-facing services offered by an organization. Once detected, the customer personal information may be tokenized within the customer communications, making the data appropriate for external systems, such as cloud-hosted applications. The disclosed techniques include a masking service that may be plugged into an on-premises pipeline of any customer-facing service that makes requests to an off-premises, cloud-hosted application. The masking service may apply rule-based detection and/or machine learning-based detection to detect both structured and unstructured customer personal information included in customer communications. The masking service may further tokenize or otherwise obfuscate or replace the detected customer personal information.

Further services, such as user account validation services, payment services, and the like are also possible through the financial institution APIs. In some situations, users are registered with the financial institution. For example, a user may also be an account holder with the financial institution. In other situations, the users are not registered with the financial institution.
