Patent number: 10467599Abstract: Implementations provide a calendar application for dynamic scheduling and adjustment of events, such as sequential training events. The calendar application is used to specify events that are to occur within a schedule of events, an order in which the events are to occur, and a duration for each event. The calendar application is also used to specify available time periods in which the events may be scheduled. Based on the specified events and available time periods, the events are scheduled into available time periods to generate a calendar, a schedule of the events that preserves the specified order of events. On detecting a change in the inputs, such as a change in the specified events and/or available time periods, the calendar may be automatically updated (in real time with respect to the change) to accommodate the change, while preserving the order and duration of events.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Michael Gardner, David Hicken

Patent number: 10460381Abstract: An image of a check may be presented for payment in a banking system in place of the physical paper check. The check to be deposited can be collected from a depositor using a scanner. A web site, accessed through a depositor's web browser, can be used to drive the process of collecting the check, but in some contexts (e.g., in less popular computing environments, such as those that do not run the most popular operating systems), it is economically infeasible to obtain the certificates that would be used to allow a program executing in the web browser to control the scanner. Thus, a depositor can be instructed to capture and upload images of the check in the form of files, where the image files are then presented for payment through a banking system.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2018Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Jeff Pollack, Michael Frank Morris, Bharat Prasad, Frank Kyle Major, John Weatherman Brady, Ralph Paige Mawyer, Jr., Clint James Reynolds, Kairav Mahesh Shah

Patent number: 10460313Abstract: A system of electronic identity verification across multiple services is provided and includes a password vault module adapted to enable a user to store a plurality of credentials for respective services of the user's choosing as well as a federated identity module adapted to enable a user to provide a single sign-on credential for a plurality of subscribing services. A common login module is accessible to both the password vault module and the federated identity module. When the user logs into the common login module, the user is authenticated for both services of the user's choosing and subscribing services. The system migrates stored user credentials in the password vault module to the federated identity module when a user-chosen service becomes a subscribing service. An integrated mobile wallet module enables financial transactions between the user and both the user-chosen services and subscribing services.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2015Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventor: Thomas D.
