  • Patent number: 11106281
    Abstract: A computer system associates one or more haptic feedbacks with one or more user activities. The computer system monitors current user activity on a computing device to determine whether the current user activity corresponds to at least one of the one or more user activities. In response to determining that the current user activity corresponds to a first user activity of the one or more user activities, the computer system causes a first haptic feedback of the one or more haptic feedbacks to be provided on the computing device, wherein the first haptic feedback is associated with the first user activity.

  • Patent number: 10924478
    Abstract: A computer system identifies one or more characteristics corresponding to a memory of a user device based on analyzing information stored in the memory of the user device during one or more instances of a first time period. The computer system detects an untrusted user device attempting to access an account during a second time period. In response to the detecting the untrusted device attempting to access the account, the computer system compares one or more characteristics of the information stored in a memory of the untrusted user device to the identified one or more characteristics. In response to determining that a similarity level between the one or more characteristics of the information stored in the memory of the untrusted device and the identified one or more characteristics is above a threshold level, the computer system allows access to the account.

  • Patent number: 10755582
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a drone physical and data interface for enhanced distance coverage. An unmanned aerial vehicle or a drone may be unable to operate over a distance due to range limitations. The drone may utilize onboard systems and communications with other devices and servers to detect another vehicle operating over at least a portion of the distance, where connecting to the vehicle and using the vehicles resources for travel over the portion of the distance decreases the flight time of the drone. The drone may utilize a camera and communications with the vehicle or server to determine a connection point to the vehicle, and may connect to the vehicle to travel the portion of the distance. If the drone has not yet arrived at the destination and still requires further assistance reaching it, the drone may locate another vehicle to further use.

  • Patent number: 10750015
    Abstract: A virtual assistant device is configured to perform operations that include receiving a user request of a user to use a service provided by a service provider, and based on an identifier associated with the service provider, determining a set of authentication credential types that the service provider accepts for authentication. The operations also include determining, based on sensor information collected from one or more hardware sensors, whether one or more other people besides the user are within a proximity to the device. Further, the operations include based on a calculated risk security level, selecting a first authentication credential type from the set of authentication credential types and selecting a first communication mode from a set of communication modes.

  • Patent number: 10553032
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for an augmented reality output based on item acquisition limitations. A user may capture visual data utilizing a device at a location, where the visual data includes one or more items available for acquisition at the location. A device may perform object recognition to identify the items within the images, and determine an item identifier. Using the item identifier, item data may be retrieved, and may be compared to restrictions on item acquisitions set for an account of the user. A visual output of a representation of the item in the visual data may then be configured to enhance or diminish the item's representation. The change in the item's representation may be output as an augmented reality visible to the user as the user views captured data of a scene including the item.

  • Publication number: 20180349953
    Abstract: A computer system determines that an item has been selected for purchase by a user on a user device. In response to determining that the item has been selected for purchase, the computer system determines that the purchase of the item was not completed. In response to determining that the purchase of the item was not completed, the computer system analyzes activity associated with the user device, and based on the analyzed activity, predicts whether the user intended to complete the purchase. In response to predicting that the user intended to complete the purchase, the computer system causes a communication corresponding to the item to be presented to the user.
