Patent number: 11842586Abstract: Systems and methods for mutual authentication of a user and a container administrator computer system. A container administrator computer system receives a request from a mobile computing device for a user to access a secure container. The request includes a user identifier. The administrator system receives a first authentication factor corresponding to the user. The administrator system authenticates the user by verifying that the first authentication factor matches a first reference authentication factor associated with the user identifier. The administrator system sends a second authentication factor associated with the administrator system to a human-machine interface associated with the secure container or the mobile computing device. The administrator system receives a notification of authentication of the administrator system using the authentication factor. The administrator system transmits an unlock signal to unlock the secure container.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2021Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Inventors: Darren M.

Publication number: 20230290231Abstract: A provider computing system includes a processing circuit comprising one or more processors coupled to one or more memories having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive an indication from a user device that an automated teller machine (ATM) is compromised. The instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to generate, upon receiving the indication that the ATM is compromised, a reward message including a reward for reporting the ATM as being compromised. The instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to transmit the reward message to the user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Robert Hamchuck, Chris Kalaboukis, Andrew L.

Patent number: 11620866Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for executing a transaction via a locker. A seller is provided initial access to the locker to deposit a good in the locker. The seller deposits the good in the locker. Following the seller depositing the good in the locker, the seller's access is revoked, and the buyer is provided access to the locker. The buyer may then arrive at the locker and provide authentication information to an authentication device. When the buyer is authenticated, the locker door (with the good inside the locker) is unlocked. The buyer can then inspect and accept the good. When the good is accepted, funds may be transferred from an account associated with the buyer to an account associated with the seller.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2018Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Darren M.

Patent number: 11580209Abstract: A method implemented on a visual computing device to authenticate one or more users includes receiving a first three-dimensional pattern from a user. The first three-dimensional pattern is sent to a server computer. At a time of user authentication, a second three-dimensional pattern is received from the user. The second three-dimensional pattern is sent to the server computer. An indication is received from the server computer as to whether the first three-dimensional pattern matches the second three-dimensional pattern within a margin of error. When the first three-dimensional pattern matches the second three-dimensional pattern within the margin of error, the user is authenticated at the server computer. When the first three-dimensional pattern does not match the second three-dimensional pattern within the margin of error, user is prevented from being authenticated at the server computer.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2019Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Andrew L.
