  • Patent number: 12126765
    Abstract: Methods and systems described herein are directed to verifying a caller's identity and/or authorizing a caller's access to an account using a third party designated agent. A caller verification system can register an agent in association with an account holder's user account with an organization. When a caller attempts to access the account holder's user account during a phone call with a representative from the organization, the caller verification system can automatically request that the agent verify the caller's identity. In some implementations, the caller verification system can bridge or conference in the agent to the phone call to allow the agent to verify the caller's identity and indicate to the representative that the caller's identity matches that of the account holder. The caller verification system can also receive verification messages from the agent via text message, email, HTTP request, or other digital means.

  • Patent number: 12118069
    Abstract: A real-world object-based method and system of performing an authentication of a person in order to permit access to a secured resource is disclosed. The system and method are configured to collect image data from an end-user in real-time that includes objects in their environment. At least one object is selected and its image data stored for subsequent authentication sessions, when the system can determine whether there is a match between the new image data and image data previously collected and stored in a database. If there is a match, the system verifies an identity of the person and can further be configured to automatically grant the person access to one or more services, features, or information for which he or she is authorized.

  • Patent number: 12118561
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein disclose methods and systems for authorizing a payment card transaction using dynamic codes. The system can receive a request for authorization of a transaction using the payment card. The request can identify a verification code associated with the payment card and an identifier of the payment card, and the payment card can have an associated dynamic code accessible to a user via a channel. The verification code can be compared with a value of the dynamic code at the time of the transaction. The system can determine whether the user of the payment card accessed the channel within a time period prior to receiving the request for authorization. In response to the verification code matching the dynamic code at the time of the transaction and determining that the user accessed the channel within the time period prior to receiving the request, the system can authorize the transaction.

  • Patent number: 12118779
    Abstract: A system and method for processing occluded aerial images of structures to assess structural damage is disclosed. The system employs a generative model that is trained on data created by adding occlusive features to clear aerial images. Both the clear images and their simulated occluded counterparts (image pairs) are inputted into the generative model as training data, and the model learns to recognize and discriminate patterns between the pairs. This process is fully automated and does not require manual labeling. Following training, the model is capable of receiving real (non-simulated) occluded images and generating a clarified image that can reveal structural details previously not apparent to automatically determine a damage classification for the property.

  • Patent number: 12118547
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein disclose methods and systems for authorizing a payment card transaction using dynamic codes. The system can issue a payment card to a user. The payment card can be associated with a verification application accessible by a device associated with the user. The verification application can include a dynamic code associated with the payment card. The system can receive a request for authorization for a transaction using the payment card from a remote computing device, and the request can include an identifier of the payment card and a verification code. The system can identify the payment card using the identifier of the payment card and can compare the verification code with a value of the dynamic code at the time of the transaction. The system can authorize the transaction when the verification code matches the value of the dynamic code at the time of the transaction.
