  • Patent number: 11429980
    Abstract: A method and system of increasing the security of requests to access funds from a joint bank account by secondary users in order to permit a primary user to securely regulate fund usage are disclosed. The system and method are configured to link to a bank account and restrict the access of funds by secondary users per conditions defined by the primary user(s). An application can be accessed via a computing device that receives requests for funds from secondary users and requires the secondary user to also submit a digital image or video that supports their proposed transaction. The request will only be conveyed to the primary user if the necessary digital verification is received by the system.

  • Patent number: 11431809
    Abstract: Techniques are described for managing cookies, including separately managing cookie data associated with different browser tabs. Cookie management includes the isolation of whitelisted cookies from server responses into background storage and then back onto server requests, removing those cookies from the response header and thus from the cookie store. This isolation is managed with the concept of tab ownership between parent and child tabs to maintain isolation separately for each owner (e.g., the parent) and its children. Exposure to client pages is handled by placing those cookies into a keyed location in session storage for every tab where that cookie is to be visible. An event is then triggered for that client page to let it know that session storage has been updated.

  • Patent number: 11427207
    Abstract: A system may include sensors that may acquire health data related to an individual. The system may also include a processor that may receive trip data associated with a current location of the individual and a destination location for the individual, traffic condition data associated with routes between the current location and the destination location, and weather related data associated with the routes. The processor may also receive the health data from the sensors and determine whether the individual is associated with a driver assessment score above a threshold based on the trip data, the traffic condition data, the weather data, the health data, or any combination thereof. The processor may then send an activation signal to a vehicle control system in response to the driver assessment score being above the threshold, such that the activation signal may enable the vehicle control system to control operations of a vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11423105
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and products described herein include a server, which receives a request from a user's electronic client device. The server may query web pages and determine if the web pages comply with the compliance rules. When the web pages do not comply with the compliance rules, the server may generate an analysis report on the web pages and send the analysis report to the user. After the user reviews the report and chooses the trouble web pages, the server sends review alerts to the points of contact, such as the product owners and other stakeholders. The product owner may more easily be able to take proper actions and better manage the websites by refreshing noncompliant or incorrect content. In this way, the systems and methods allow product owners and users to manage and/or curate the content of web pages more systematically and automatically.

  • Patent number: 11416844
    Abstract: Authentication method and systems using RFID-enabled payment cards are disclosed herein where a server receives a request corresponding to authorization of a payment associated with a payment card from an electronic terminal. The server identifies an electronic device of a user associated with the payment card. The server then transmits an instruction to the electronic device to cause an RFID reader of the electronic device to determine whether an RFID tag corresponding to the payment card is located within a predetermined proximity to the electronic device. When the payment card is located within the predetermined proximity, the server executes a first authentication protocol. Moreover, when the payment card is not located within the predetermined proximity, the server executes a second authentication protocol, wherein the second authentication protocol is more restrictive than the first authentication protocol.
