Abstract: Arrangements for facial recognition and processing are provided. In some aspects, a request to process a transaction may be received. In response to the request, image data of the user may be captured. The image data may be analyzed using one or more facial recognition techniques. If the user cannot be identified, payment information may be requested from the user. If the user can be identified, the user may be identified and user profile data associated with the user may be retrieved. In some examples, the user profile data may include user contact information, user device identifying information, and the like. User device data may be extracted from the user profile data and a notification including an instruction to initiate payment processing may be generated. The notification may then be transmitted to the user device identified from the extracted data and the instruction may be executed to initiate payment processing.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for allowing purchase of virtual gift cards includes receiving a communication indicating a gift card type and specifying a value amount. Responsive to the communication, a purchase of a virtual gift card of that type and storing that value amount is processed. This processing includes processing a payment for the specified value amount. Further, a gift card merchant application programming interface (API) capable of processing a purchase of a virtual gift card of the indicated gift card type is identified from amongst a set of such APIs. That API is used to initiate purchase of the virtual gift card. After the purchase is processed, an indication of the purchased virtual gift card is sent to a mobile computing device. The mobile computing device uses the indication to configure itself to allow transactions using the purchased virtual gift card to be initiated. Fraud detection may also be performed.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to identity management and recommendation. A computing platform may receive a request to access information associated with one or more user accounts. The computing platform may send a biometric authentication prompt for identifying a user. The computing platform may receive biometric input of the user. The computing platform may retrieve one or more biometric enrollment templates from a database. The computing platform may compare the biometric input to the one or more biometric enrollment templates to determine if a match exists between the biometric input and one of the one or more biometric enrollment templates. Responsive to the user being authenticated based upon a match, the computing platform may retrieve and send information associated with the one or more user accounts. The computing platform may generate and send one or more recommendations associated with usage of the one or more user accounts.

Abstract: The invention teaches a decentralized autonomous organization (“DAO”) that manages a network of micro home businesses via a secure communication environment. A service provider curates active and passive income opportunities and provides training courses for worker users. A worker user selects a home configured to enable their preferred income opportunities then applies for a mortgage. The mortgage is pre-approved then a bridge loan is provided for construction. After construction is completed, the mortgage retires the bridge loan. Then the worker user occupies the home business and generates active and passive income to pay off the mortgage. Each micro home business is a node in the DAO. The DAO is maintained through competitive bids from service provider users. Disputes are resolved by arbitrator users. The internet of things is used to enable proactive maintenance.

Abstract: The technology detects undesirable data packets. Data packets are received from multiple sources at one or more packet switches in a data communications network. The one or more packet switches route the data packets to one or more intended destination computing nodes and also transmit a copy of all the data packets received in the data communications network to a network capture device. The network capture device processes the data packets, detects financial data packets, and transmits the detected financial data packets for analysis by a risk exposure computer system that performs automatic financial risk analysis based on the detected financial data packets.

Abstract: Techniques are described for determining data dependent alert profiles to be presented on sender and/or receiver computing devices in response to a request for transfer of a data from the sender to the receiver. The alert profiles are determined based on a value of the data. The sender alert profile may be determined based on the information on sender accounts and the receiver alert profile may be determined based on the information on the receiver account. The alert profiles may be determined based on a history of the data transfer between the sender and the receiver, or account history of either the sender or the receiver, or the history of the data transfer within the system. The alert profiles may be presented on computing devices, for example through haptic actuators, to provide a sense of the data value to the user.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for protecting user accounts using machine learning models. A machine learning model may be trained to determine whether account activity indicates a risk to credit scores. Account data, associated with a first financial account, may processed to determine whether the first financial account is associated with at least one underage user. A transaction request, associated with the first financial account, may be received. A history of transactions conducted by the first financial account may be retrieved. The trained machine learning model may be provided, as input, the transaction request and the history of transactions. An indication of risk to a credit score associated with the at least one underage user may be received as output from the trained machine learning model. A limitation may be added to the first financial account based on the indication of risk.

Abstract: A compliance determination and enforcement platform is described. A plurality of factors are stored in association with each of a plurality of accounts. A factor entering module enters factors from each user account into a compliance score model. The compliance score model determines a compliance score for each one of the accounts based on the respective factors associated with the respective account. A comparator compares the compliance score for each account with a compliance reference score to determine a subset of the accounts that fail compliance and a subset of the accounts that meet compliance. A flagging unit flags the user accounts that fail compliance to indicate non-compliant accounts. A corrective action system allows for determining, for each one of the accounts that is flagged as non-compliant, whether the account is bad or good, entering the determination into a feedback system and closing the account.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for executing a transaction via a locker. A seller is provided initial access to the locker to deposit a good in the locker. The seller deposits the good in the locker. Following the seller depositing the good in the locker, the seller's access is revoked, and the buyer is provided access to the locker. The buyer may then arrive at the locker and provide authentication information to an authentication device. When the buyer is authenticated, the locker door (with the good inside the locker) is unlocked. The buyer can then inspect and accept the good. When the good is accepted, funds may be transferred from an account associated with the buyer to an account associated with the seller.
