  • Patent number: 10475020
    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media and devices for authorizing a pending payment transaction using mobile device roaming status information are disclosed. For example, a method includes a processor receiving an authorization to monitor the roaming status information of a mobile device, sending a request to a cellular service provider network to monitor the roaming status information of the mobile device, and receiving from the cellular service provider network a notification of the roaming status information of the mobile device. The method may further include the processor receiving a notification of a payment transaction of a payment device associated with a user of the mobile device at a payment location and sending an authorization to continue processing the pending payment transaction when the roaming status information indicates that a location of the mobile device corresponds to the payment location.

  • Patent number: 10206056
    Abstract: Access to location information related to mobile devices is disclosed. A component can receive a subscription request related to returning location related data associated with a set of network event locating system (NELOS) information. NELOS information can be received from a NELOS component and can be derived from timed fingerprint location (TFL) information associated with a user equipment (UE). TFL information and NELOS information can be distinct from location information determined from conventional techniques, which can provide for additional benefit. The subscription request can indicate continuing access to location information without subsequent requests. Moreover, access can be via a push of information to a subscribing device.
