  • Patent number: 12223516
    Abstract: A fraud prevention system that includes a fraud prevention server including an electronic processor and a memory. The memory includes an online application origination (OAO) service. When executing the OAO service, the electronic processor is configured to determine whether the OAO service is enabled and whether a website configuration includes a list of multi-page placements for an online application, determine that input data needs to be stored in the memory and combined into multi-page input data, determine a fraud risk score of the online application based on the multi-page input data and an online application origination (OAO) model that differentiates between a behavior of a normal user and a behavior of a nefarious actor during a submission of the online application on a device, and control a client server to approve, hold, or deny the online application based on the fraud risk score that is determined.

  • Patent number: 12014348
    Abstract: Transactions between entities may be validated using LoRaWAN communications to more quickly process those transactions. In the example of check depositing, a first entity associated with a check payee may transmit a check clearance request to a second entity associated with a check payor using LoRaWAN communications. The LoRaWAN signaling and communications may be performed between devices within LoRaWAN range. For example, a check depositing device may receive a check deposit where the payor is associated with a different financial institution or entity. Accordingly, the check depositing device may communicate with another device associated with the payor institution or entity using LoRaWAN signals to confirm check clearance.

  • Patent number: 11941623
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a device manager to control data tracking with client devices. A device may implement a manager process or application that allows a user to set preferences and/or a schedule of rates for allowing other online service providers to track user data. This may include placement of device-side data, such as a cookie or pixel, or tracking of device data through an application. The manager process may detect when a website, online platform, application, or other entity attempts to track data on the device and may utilize the schedule of rates to request a payment from the tracking entity. If the entity agrees to the payment, the manager may allow the entity to begin tracking data. However, if the tracking entity does not agree to the payment, then the manager may prevent the tracking entity from collecting data from the device.

  • Patent number: 11531991
    Abstract: A user authorization device (or UAD) physically connected to a user's router to aid in the authentication of the user. A bank server polls the user's router to verify that the UAD is connected to the router before granting the user the capability to perform transactions on the user's account that would be otherwise restricted. The bank server implements a set of policies designed by the user that require the UAD to be present for some transactions with the account to be performed. The presence of this device thus adds an extra layer of security to such financial transactions beyond the use of a username and password.

  • Patent number: 11216817
    Abstract: The present disclosure presents a method for a card based transaction between a mobile terminal and a service provider system having one or several computer servers. The mobile terminal obtains a CSC from credit card/debit card. The mobile terminal obtains a data seed. The mobile terminal applies a minimal perfect hash function to the CSC as well as the data seed to generate a temporary CSC. The mobile terminal initiates a card based transaction with the service provider system utilizing the generated temporary CSC. The service provider system obtains the temporary CSC and applies a same minimal perfect hash function to the temporary CSC until a match is found between the obtained temporary CSC and one CSC stored at the service provider system. In response to a match the service provider system continues the initiated card based transaction with the mobile terminal.
