  • Patent number: 11941600
    Abstract: In a method for advanced identification of a customer, a customer may remotely place an order, intending to later go to a store to pick up the ordered item. The store may have a pick-up area (e.g., at the back of the store) where the customer can go to pick up the ordered item. To save the customer time, the customer may be identified when she enters the store so that an employee can obtain her ordered item and have it ready to pick up by the time the customer walks through the store and arrives at the pick-up area.

  • Patent number: 11907945
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented processes that determine, in real time, counterparty geolocation location based on structured messaging data, such as messaging data maintained within message fields of a request-for-payment (RFP) message compliant with the ISO 20022. For example, an apparatus may receive a RFP message that includes message data associated with a transaction involving first and second counterparties, and the RFP message may characterize a real-time payment requested from the second counterparty by the first counterparty. The apparatus may determine a geographic position of the first counterparty based the message data, and based on the first geographic position, transmit notification data to a device operable by the second counterparty. The notification data may cause the device to present digital content associated with at least one of the transaction, the first counterparty, or the second counterparty within a digital interface.

  • Publication number: 20240004548
    Abstract: Systems and methods of determining whether to initiate a pull of an accumulated data transfer amount are described. An accumulated data transfer amount for a periodic data transfer scheduled to be pushed at a future date is determined. A determination is made of whether an overall data amount in a storage location is expected to be greater at a date on or after the scheduled future date if a pull of the accumulated data transfer amount is performed before the scheduled future date than if a pull operation is not performed and the accumulated data transfer amount is sent at the scheduled future date. When the overall data amount in the storage location is expected to be greater at the scheduled future date if the pull of the accumulated data transfer amount is performed, a pull of the accumulated data transfer amount is initiated.

  • Publication number: 20230394452
    Abstract: Configuring data transfers based on electronic messages. A system includes a communication module, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, configure the processor to: receive, from a client device, an authentication credential and associate the authentication credential with a client record. The processor identifies, based on delegated access to query a message account at a message server, a resource request message associated with the message account using a defined criteria. The processor obtains, based on the resource request message, a resource parameter to define a proposed resource transfer to a recipient entity. The processor generates and transmits, to the client device, a transfer request alert based on the proposed resource transfer for display at the client device. In response to receiving, from the client device, a selection of a selectable option, the processor allocates a resource to the recipient entity.
