  • Patent number: 11663603
    Abstract: Mobile communications devices, systems and methods are provided for identifying a risk of fraudulent activity associated with a merchant before a user executes a transaction with the merchant. In an embodiment, a mobile communications device obtains first information identifying prior instances of fraudulent activity associated with a merchant. The mobile communications device may determine a level of risk of fraudulent activity associated with the merchant based on the obtained first information, and may identify, based on the determined risk level, one or more payment instruments and associated incentives appropriate for financial services transactions involving the merchant. The mobile communications device may present, to a user, a notification including the identified payment instruments and associated incentives prior to execution of a transaction between the user and the merchant.

  • Publication number: 20150262182
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems that automatically populate interfaces facilitating electronic transactions. In one embodiment, a system may identify a contextual event triggering an account transfer transaction. The system may also determine a first account associated with a first user based on the contextual event, and determine a second account based on the contextual event and a set of rules associated with the first user. The system may generate, based on the detected event and the set of rules, first information used to provide prefilled content identifying the first account as a source account and the determined second account as a destination account. The system may also generate, in response to an authorization, second information used to provide second content including a notification that a transfer of funds from the first account to the second account has occurred.

  • Publication number: 20150262183
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems that automatically populate interfaces facilitating electronic transactions. In one embodiment, a system may detect an system-generated event triggering an account transfer transaction. The system may also determine a first account associated with a first user based on the detected event, and determine a second account based on the detected event and a set of rules associated with the first user. The system may generate, based on the detected event and the set of rules, first information used to provide prefilled content identifying the first account as a source account and the determined second account as a destination account. The system may also generate, in response to an authorization, second information used to provide second content including a notification that a transfer of funds from the first account to the second account has occurred.

  • Publication number: 20150262181
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems that automatically populate interfaces facilitating electronic transactions. In one embodiment, a system may detect an action of a first user that triggers an account transfer transaction. The system may also determine a first account associated with the first user based on the detected action, and determine a second account based on the detected action and a set of rules associated with the first user. The system may generate, based on the detected event and the set of rules, first information used to provide prefilled content identifying the first account as a source account and the determined second account as a destination account. The system may also generate, in response to an authorization, second information used to provide second content including a notification that a transfer of funds from the first account to the second account has occurred.

  • Patent number: 7618708
    Abstract: An organic layer capable of forming surface areas having an adsorption property different from that of a periphery due to the chemical change of a surface functional group is formed on a board. The surface of the organic layer is patterned and oxidized by a scanning probe microscope to form an array pattern in which small sections for adsorbing nanoparticles are arranged. Then, nanoparticle dispersed solution is applied to the organic layer having the array pattern or the organic layer is dipped in the nanoparticle dispersed solution to form a particle layer on the organic layer. At this time, the nanoparticles in the nanoparticle dispersed solution are respectively fixed only onto the small sections. Therefore, a nanoparticle array on which groups of nanoparticles are arranged in an array can be obtained. Thus, the nanoparticle array on which the groups of the nanoscale particles are arranged on the board is efficiently formed.
