  • Patent number: 12271369
    Abstract: A system may receive, via a web browser plugin on a user device, a first timestamp associated with first click data at a website associated with a merchant, a referring uniform resource location (URL), a current URL, and first user identification data. The system may also receive transaction data including a second timestamp, second user identification data, and a first merchant name associated with a transaction with the merchant. The system may determine whether the first timestamp is within a predetermined period of the second timestamp and determine whether the first user identification data corresponds with the second user identification data. When the system determines that the first timestamp is within the predetermined period of the second timestamp and the first user identification data corresponds with the second user identification data, the system may store the referring URL and the current URL with the first merchant name in a database.

  • Patent number: 12254461
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for generating and managing virtual transaction cards based on mobile device location so as to provide transaction security during in-person transactions. A geographic location of a mobile device may be determined, a proximate merchant may be selected, and a virtual transaction card may be generated for that particular merchant. Data corresponding to that virtual transaction card may be deployed into a digital wallet device for use during transactions with point-of-sale devices. Use of the digital wallet device may be conditioned on geographic location, time, an unlock command from a mobile device, or the like. By providing such dynamically-generated and limited virtual transaction cards for in-person transactions, the threat of security vulnerabilities relating to point-of-sale systems may be mitigated.

  • Patent number: 12231409
    Abstract: Methods and systems describe linking mobile applications to website providers using an intermediary database that is populated based on mobile application metadata in order to provide secure communication of user data encrypted specifically for given website providers. The methods and systems accomplish this by receiving, at an intermediary database, a first communication from a background application implemented on a mobile device, wherein the first communication comprises a first access point address and is generated based on a request, by a first access point, for first user information for use by a first provider, wherein the first provider provides the first access point. However, as opposed to simply generating a random alternative content for the first communication, the system performs an additional step to ensure that the alternative content is specific to the provider and may be used across all access points for the provider.

  • Publication number: 20240403858
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, location-based activation of card identifiers may be facilitated. In some embodiments, an electrophoretic display card may store a set of location-specific card identifiers, where each card identifier of the set is associated with (i) an account of a user and (ii) creation location information indicating a device location of the user at a creation time of the card identifier. In response to being powered by a user device, the card may initiate wireless communication with the user device. The card may determine a device location of the user device, select a card identifier from the set of card identifiers that matches the device location, and switch a state of the card identifier to an active state to enable transaction processing for the card identifier. In some embodiments, the card may cause the active card identifier to be presented on an electrophoretic display of the card.
