  • Patent number: 11631068
    Abstract: Image processing techniques can be used to determine whether a person has installed an unauthorized device on or in a kiosk. For example, an image processing server can determine whether a person's hand(s) are engaging in abnormal behavior by obtaining recorded images of the person's hand(s) that extend towards the kiosk to perform an action, and by comparing the information in the recorded images with a set of previously known information about other persons' hands that are similarly extended towards the kiosk.

  • Patent number: 11610265
    Abstract: Data transaction-specific data packets transmitted over a data communications network from a plurality of source computer nodes are processed. A first data packet communication session is established between one source computer node and one destination computer node to transport data transaction specific data packets over a first path through the data communications network. A second alternative data packet communication session is established between the one source computer node and the one destination computer node to transport data transaction specific data packets over a second path that is different from and bypasses the first path. When a condition based on the data transaction-specific data packets is identified, electronic processing circuitry initiates an alteration of the first data packet communication session.

  • Patent number: 11580604
    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring use and determining risks associated with operation of a vehicle having one or more autonomous operation features are provided. According to certain aspects, operating data may be recorded during operation of the vehicle. This may include information regarding the vehicle, the vehicle environment, use of the autonomous operation features, and/or control decisions made by the features. The control decisions may include actions the feature would have taken to control the vehicle, but which were not taken because a vehicle operator was controlling the relevant aspect of vehicle operation at the time. The operating data may be recorded in a log, which may then be used to determine risk levels associated with vehicle operation based upon risk levels associated with the autonomous operation features. The risk levels may further be used to adjust an insurance policy associated with the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11551202
    Abstract: Method to generate onboarding flow for application starts with on-boarding server receiving request from electronic device to activate application. On-boarding server determines whether request is initial request. Request is determined to be initial request when minimal set of information associated with user is not stored in on-boarding server. When request is determined to be initial request, on-boarding server signals to electronic device to display request for minimal set of information associated with user which includes at least one of: user identification, legal name, phone number, or email address. Minimal set of information associated with user is then received and stored in on-boarding server. On-boarding server signals to allow initial access to application. Signaling to allow initial access includes signaling that user requires access to payment processing hardware to process user's physical payment instrument.

  • Patent number: 11544711
    Abstract: A usage frequency attribute is determined for each biometric feature in a biometric feature database. The usage frequency attribute indicates a matching success frequency of matching the biometric feature to a user having the biometric feature. The biometric features of the user are sorted in descending order of the usage frequency attribute. The sorting is based on a descending order of the usage frequency attributes for a given user. The biometric features in the biometric feature database are stored in descending order. The storing includes providing prioritized access to the biometric feature having a highest value of the usage frequency attribute so that the biometric feature is selected first in response to a request for the biometric feature of the user.
