Abstract: A device detects a communication involving a user associated with an account and a service representative, and sends, to a user device associated with the account, an authentication notification that causes the user device to display an authentication field for the user. The device sends, to a service representative device associated with the service representative, a message that indicates that the service representative is to request, via the communication, the user to enter personal information associated with the user into the authentication field, where the user device is configured to generate a first authentication code based on a user input received from the user device in the authentication field. The device generates a second authentication code based on personal information associated with the account from a data structure, receives the first authentication code, and performs an action based on the first authentication code and the second authentication code.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods are described herein for separately collecting and storing form contents. Different information may be collected from a user on a form. Based on determining that portions of the form request a first type of information, an extended reality (XR) environment may be provided to the user. The user may provide the first type information via an input method in the XR environment. The user may provide a second type of information using a different input method outside of the XR environment. The first type of information may be processed and stored in a different database as compared to the second type of information. The database storing the first type of information may have a higher security standard than the database storing second type of information.

Abstract: Randomizations of a web page may be generated in advance and provided to a client. The client may store the randomizations in its cache. Multiple randomizations for the same web page may be provided to the client and stored in the client's cache. When a request for a web page is made, it is determined if the client has any cached randomizations. Randomizations for the probable next web page to be requested by the client may be provided to the client for storage in the cache. For example, the probability that a link will be clicked or a website visited may be determined. Those web pages and websites with higher probabilities may be determined. Randomizations for those web pages are then provided to the client for use.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods redact one or more light-emitting screens in data recorded on a recording device. The redaction may include receiving recorded data comprising a plurality of pixel values. The redaction may include detecting one or more light-emitting screens in the received image. The redaction may include redacting a subset of the pixel values from the recorded associated with the one or more detected light-emitting screens. The redaction may be commonly applied to multiple frames of recorded data through the use of a unique identifier assigned to a same detected light-emitting screen. A same light-emitting screen may be tracked across multiple non-sequential or sequential frames and assigned a same unique identifier.

Abstract: A foldable electronic device may bend about a bend axis. A foldable display panel may be configured to bend along the bend axis as the foldable device is folded. A display cover layer may overlap the display panel. The display panel may have an array of pixels configured to display an image viewable through the display cover layer.

Abstract: A device may receive a preauthorization associated with missed transaction prevention for a transaction account of a user, wherein the missed transaction prevention involves preventing a missed transaction associated with merchant accounts of the user. The device may monitor a transaction log of the transaction account and identify a transaction pattern associated with a merchant account based on a plurality of historical transactions identified in the transaction log related to the merchant account. The device may determine that a historical transaction of the plurality of historical transactions is not designated for automatic execution and that an execution of an upcoming transaction corresponding to the plurality of historical transactions is not scheduled. The device may cause an account transaction associated with the upcoming transaction to be automatically executed before a transaction period expiration, associated with the merchant account, passes.

In some embodiments, a set of gaze locations may be received from a set of receiving devices during concurrent video communication sessions between the receiving devices and a sending device. Different collections of positions may be determined based on the gaze locations, and, for each such collection, a spatial indicator (e.g., a bounded region) may be determined. A first downscaled encoding of the source image (from the sending device) may be generated based on the first spatial indicator, and a second downscaled encoding of the source image may be generated based on the second spatial indicator, etc. The downscaled encodings may then be sent to the respective receiving devices during the concurrent video communication sessions.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with optical markers. A marker may be formed from a coating. The coating may be patterned to form a two-dimensional optical code or may be patterned to form an outline or other recognizable marker structure that helps provide information about an electronic device.

Markers may be configured to serve as mixed reality optical markers in a mixed reality system. Analysis of the mixed reality marker images or other sensor data may reveal information on device type, device location, device size, device orientation, and other information on a marked device.
