Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a system and method for electronically monitoring and using data indicative of driver characteristics based on sensors. For example, the system may determine an origin associated with a user, a destination associated with the user, and a desired arrival time at the destination. A driving characteristic computing device of the system may determine an estimate for a duration of a trip from the origin to the destination. Based on the estimate for the duration and the desired arrival time at the destination, the driving characteristic computing device may determine a recommended departure time from the origin for the user. Based on sensor data, the system may determine a departure time from the origin for the user. The driving characteristic computing device may compare the departure time to the recommended departure time, and a value of a property of insurance for the user may be determined based on the comparing.

Abstract: A not-on-us transaction at a Self-Service Terminal (SST) is initiated by a customer. Transaction details indicate that the customer is associated with a remote backend system that is accessible over a different network from that which is associated with the SST. The transaction details are forwarded from the SST to the remote backend system. Remote commands are issued from the remote backend system and translated into native commands of the SST where they are executed on the SST to process the not-on-us transaction.

Abstract: At a terminal assembly associated with a physical access point, payment device data is obtained from a reduced-functionality payment device, and the data is identified as emanating from such a device. In response, the payment device data emanating from the reduced-functionality payment device is converted into an authorization request or an access request, of a format consistent with full-functionality payment devices. The authorization request or access request is dispatched into a payment infrastructure which is configured to handle same, but is not configured to handle the reduced-functionality payment device.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums which provide for customized alerts for a user. Alerts may be described by a set of alert parameters. Alert parameters include the type of alerts, the frequency of alerts, and the content of the alerts. While the alert parameters may initially be set based upon the users explicitly entered preferences, the system may monitor one or more indicators to dynamically adjust one or more of the alert parameters. As the indicators allow the automated portfolio management system to respond to the needs of a user, these alerts may increase the personalization of automated portfolio management systems.

Abstract: A method for determining an amount of electricity to purchase includes determining electrical power consumption characteristics of an electrical load at an end user of the electricity. A preference of the end user for an output of the electrical load is ascertained. The output varies with a rate of electrical power consumption by the load. A mathematical model is created of an amount of electrical power to be consumed by the load as a function of time and of monetary cost of the electricity. The model is dependent upon the electrical power consumption characteristics of the electrical load and the preference of the end user for an output of the electrical load. An amount of electricity is purchased based on the mathematical model of an amount of electrical power to be consumed by the load, and based on the monetary cost of the electricity.
