  • Patent number: 12020233
    Abstract: A payment processing apparatus and a system or a method are provided that have a location-agnostic payment code, where the user does not have to check in to the merchant's location. Further, the reliance on the network connection is reduced by caching or storing payment codes at the user's mobile device. The payment codes may have expiration and may be used once. The payment codes may be revoked or canceled if the user's mobile device is compromised or stolen. In an embodiment, the payment codes may be generated and provided to the user's mobile device when the payment application at the user's mobile device is refreshed. For example, the payment application is refreshed based on user's payment history or payment habits. In another embodiment, the payment codes may be generated and provided to the user's mobile device when the user is within a predetermined distance from a merchant.

  • Patent number: 11972488
    Abstract: Method and systems generate optimized and online targeted messages. Various campaign criteria are provided having different advertising or marketing goals that cause the delivery of targeted messages. Messages may be generated based upon customer data, customer preferences, life events, marketing campaigns, predictive models, and/or propensity scores. For instance, messages may be sent when a propensity threshold score is exceeded indicating a high likelihood of a milestone event, which may be indicative of customer behavior or an event that is relevant to the campaign goal, thereby sending more relevant messages to customers. A milestone propensity score may be calculated using a predictive modeling algorithm having weighted data variables, which may include data provided by the customer or accessed through various sources, such as monitoring customer online interactions with their permission.

  • Patent number: 11954691
    Abstract: A payment two-dimensional code secure payment method and system without two-step authentication. The method comprises the following steps: by means of a payment application, producing a first payment two-dimensional code and a second payment two-dimensional code, and alternately displaying the first payment two-dimensional code and the second payment two-dimensional code; respectively identifying the first payment two-dimensional code and the second payment two-dimensional code to acquire complete payment information; sending the complete payment information to a payment centre for verification; when verification is successful, the payment is complete. The present method effectively avoids the property loss incurred by users due to scanning of payment two-dimensional code pictures, and increases payment security.

  • Patent number: 11935003
    Abstract: The system and methods described herein allow users to give their applicant information when seeking to submit an inquiry associated with a product provided by at least one entity, and have various lender microservices run in parallel, segregated by entity, in a jailed and self-contained, autonomous environment. The result of these microservices may be returned as a response to the inquity, being determined autonomously for each respective entity based on one or more respective rule sets or executable logic for each respective entity. Payloads for multiple entities may be combined in a single output from the jailed and self-contained environment due to outputs from the environment being encrypted in a universal format, wherein the outputs are decrypted in a user session in an application, allowing the user to see the results of the respective responses of each of the at least one entity, to their inquiry.

  • Patent number: 11922499
    Abstract: Contextual searches may be performed to identify subsets of search results from an organized dataset. Contextual searching may return search results based on a relevance of the results to a query or search terms. Characters may be input by users at a search field that may be used to define context filters for limiting the search results of the organized dataset. Triggering events may be received that may trigger the definition of context filters that may be used to obtain the subsets of search results from the organized dataset. The triggering event may be a delimiter in the character string, for example. The subset of search results may include a subset of tradeable objects that may be traded at an electronic exchange. The subset of search results may continue to be limited based on additional context filters defined from the search input at the search field.
