Abstract: Described is identifying entities based at least in part on the location of a user device. A server or the user device will determine the location of the user device and/or whether there are any beacons, such as proximity beacons, in the vicinity. The server or the user device will then determine where the user is and if there are any identifiable entities within a certain distance to that location. In performing these steps, the server and/or the user device may access a database for the geographical area. The user device will then receive information related to a function as indicated by the user, such as the facilitation of a donation, a non-obligated payment, or an obligated payment to the entity.

Abstract: A tax return preparation application generates a first interview screen displayed to a subject taxpayer and requests first input of an image or entry of pre-determined data. Intermediate computer storing electronic tax data of multiple taxpayers determines whether electronic tax data provided or derived based on first input includes a first set for certain fields of an electronic tax form. If so, certain fields are automatically populated and a second, larger set of electronic data is identified and imported from data store to populate additional fields. If not, tax return preparation application generates a second interview screen requesting second input. Additional fields are not populated with data imported from data store when second input confirms that electronic tax data does not include the first set, but may import from data store when second input makes modifications or corrections such that electronic tax data includes the first set.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for detecting a risk of fraud in a vehicle insurance claim by comparing the cost of repair from a treatment facility to a cost estimate for the repair. If the cost of repair from the treatment facility exceeds the cost estimate by a substantial amount, the cost of repair may be flagged as a risk of fraud and a suspicious loss indicator may be generated and transmitted to an insurance agent, a claims center, etc.

Abstract: A financial institution computing system associated with a financial institution includes an account management circuit configured to prompt a user via a user device to capture a first image of an identification item of the user and a second image of the user using the user device in response to receiving, over a network via a network interface, an input from the user device regarding establishing a new account at the financial institution. The account management circuit is further configured to receive, over the network via the network interface, the first image and the second image, verify the identity of the user by comparing the first image with the second image, and create the new account for the user by generating an account number for the user and storing the account number in the accounts database in response to the identity of the user being verified.

Abstract: A data transaction processing system includes a quarantine system that delays messages configured to accept a delay before being processed by the data transaction processing system. During periods of heavy network traffic, the imposed delay reduces network congestion by distributing/load leveling messages according to available computing resources. Separating messages over time also reduces the processing latency of the data transaction processing system. Messages that are routed and delayed through the quarantine system may be executed at a better transactional value than other non-delayed messages.

Abstract: Database organizational techniques and structures may impose storage and computational limits that render particular operations too slow to effectively execute within speed guarantees (e.g. allowing a function to be completed within 300 ms). Thus, sometimes it is inefficient to access and maintain certain data, particularly in large data environments. One such environment relates to event logging for security, fraud, and risk purposes. When hundreds or thousands of events can occur in short time periods, database queries can be slow. By using particular algorithms and data structuring, however, event log data can be utilized in a flexible and speedy manner in various embodiments that may still enable service guarantees to be met. In some cases, this may involve updating one or more event counters for one or more particular periods of time, which may be indicative of event velocity (i.e. how often certain events are occurring).
