  • Patent number: 11244384
    Abstract: A method of presenting transactions to a user via a client device for review. Each of the transactions and transactions details are presented in a transaction cell. The user swipes the corresponding transaction cell, thus assigning the associated transaction to a category. In detecting a swipe across a transaction cell, a temporary (yet visible) pause of the swipe interaction is performed, alongside the presentation of an action prompt within the transaction cell directed to performing actions relevant to the transaction. Constrained by a swipe pause timer (SPT), the user is provided a short time window in which to engage the action prompt in order to pursue the actions disclosed by the action prompt. If engagement of the action prompt is not pursued by the user prior to the elapsing of the SPT, the swipe interaction proceeds without hindering the speed with which the user typically reviews a transaction.

  • Patent number: 11030605
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of communicating payment data. The method includes receiving at a server, via a digital communication network, payment data transmitted from a first computing device that is connected to a peer-to-peer network and not in direct communication with the server. The payment data is received directly from a first peer computing device that is in communication with the peer-to-peer network and the server. The method also includes, at the server, analyzing, via one or more processors, the payment data to determine a payment response message. The method also includes transmitting from the server, via the digital communication network, the payment response message to a second peer computing device that is in communication with the server and in communication with the peer-to-peer network. The payment response message is communicated from the second peer computing device to the first computing device through the peer-to-peer network.
