Patent number: 11758039Abstract: Embodiments described herein disclose methods and systems for providing selective data access to representatives. In some embodiments, the system can monitor a call between a user and a representative regarding a subject matter. The user can have an associated profile with data, and the data can be locked such that the representative cannot access the data. During the conversation between the representative and the user, the system can continuously convert both parties' speech into text. The system can determine an intent of the call based on the text and unlock a portion of the data about the user based on the determined intent of the call. Only the unlocked portion of the data is displayed to the representative.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2021Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Andrew L. Anaruk, Patrick Adam, Benjamin Goos, Gabriel Carlos Fernandez, Ana Maldonado

Patent number: 11610238Abstract: A system and method for collecting and managing property information is disclosed. The system and method allow for buyers, sellers, agents and other parties that may have relevant information for a real estate transaction to collect and/or view property information stored in a property information storage system. The system and method include a virtual property notebook that facilitates collecting data about properties so that the information can be added to the property information storage system. Users are guided through a property using the virtual property notebook running as a software application on a remote device. The remote device can be used to collect image information. Users may be instructed to further inspect a property structure such as an appliance that the system has automatically detected. The system and method further include a prediction system that can provide estimated property values based on collected information.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2022Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Victor Kwak, Andrew L. Anaruk

Patent number: 10867612Abstract: Techniques are described for passive authentication based at least partly on collected voice data of a user. During a speech interaction between a user and a personal assistant (PA) device, the user's speech may be analyzed to authenticate the user. The authentication of the user may be a passive authentication, in which the user is not explicitly asked to provide authenticating credentials. Instead, the speech data of the user is collected during the user's interactions with the PA device, and the collected speech data is compared to a previously developed model of the user's speech. The user is successfully authenticated based on determining that there is sufficient correspondence between the collected speech data and the model of the user's speech. After the user is authenticated passively during the conversation, they may be able to access sensitive data or services that may not be otherwise inaccessible without authentication.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Jeffrey Neal Pollack, Michael E'shawn Weaver, Andrew L.
