  • Publication number: 20240080641
    Abstract: A method for using location-based services for service management is discussed. The method includes receiving, at a server, a user request from a user device at a geographical location. The method includes accessing a store search to determine a store reference based on the user request and a user location corresponding to the geographical location, the store reference indicating tenant(s) accessible to the user via a user interface (UI) of the user device. The method includes accessing location data for the user device based on the store reference and a user account associated with the user, the location data indicating a service accessible via the UI and associated with a certain tenant. The method includes providing, to the user device and based on the location data, a user experience for accessing the service via the UI.

  • Publication number: 20230114719
    Abstract: A platform for managing threat data integrates threat data from a variety of sources including internal threat data from instrumented compute instances associated with an enterprise network and threat data from one or more independent, external resources. Threat assessments are incrementally revised as this threat data is asynchronously received from various sources, and a threat intervention container is automatically created and presented to an investigator when a composite threat score for one or more of the compute instances meets a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230114821
    Abstract: A threat management facility receives data from a variety of sources such as compute instances within an enterprise network, cloud service providers supporting the enterprise network, and third-party data providers such as geolocation services. In order to facilitate prompt notification of potential risks, the threat management facility may incrementally update data for use in threat assessments as the data becomes available from these different sources, and create suitable alerts or notifications whenever the currently accumulated data provides an indication of threat meeting a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230067746
    Abstract: A payment service provider device determines that a first geolocation of a user device is within a predetermined proximity to a second geolocation associated with a merchant Point-Of-Sale (POS) device that is coupled to a network and provides, via the network to the merchant POS device, a communication that includes a user identifier associated with a user of the user device, such that the communication causes the user identifier to be displayed on a display device associated with the merchant POS device and the user is checked-in at a merchant location associated with the merchant POS and the second geolocation. The payment service provider device receives, via the network, a payment request that is associated with the user identifier, and then completes the payment request using a user account associated with the user identifier.

  • Patent number: 11516872
    Abstract: Various systems, mediums, and methods may involve a bridge configured to communicate with a number of sites, such as fuel sites and/or restaurant sites. For example, a system may determine a mobile device is associated with a given fuel site, possibly located at the given fuel site, among a number of other fuel sites. Further, the system may determine one or more connections of the bridge that may be configured to communicate with a site component of the fuel site. As such, the system may transmit fuel data to the mobile device based on the one or more connections with the site component. Thus, the mobile device may display an indication of fuel available at the fuel site.

  • Patent number: 11386421
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems and methods for pushing tokenized payments to resource providers for goods or services, after the goods or services are received. A user may make a transaction request including a credential and a resource provider ID (e.g., a resource provider location) via a server computer. The server computer may generate a token corresponding to the credential and transmit it to the resource provider using the resource provider ID. Upon receiving the token, the resource provider may enter a transaction amount and send it with the token in an authorization request message. The transaction can then be processed according to standard transaction processing methods, as if the resource provider had initiated the transaction request.

  • Publication number: 20210085672
    Abstract: Described herein are solid, pharmaceutical compositions, dosage forms and methods of making and using the same, wherein the solid compositions comprise at least one high viscosity agent. The solid, high viscosity agent-comprising pharmaceutical compositions, when comprised of an opioid drug, can reduce the potential for abuse of such drug. The solid dosage forms are characterized by having a significantly reduced extractability of an opioid drug comprised therein upon contact of the dosage form with a solvent such as a typical household solvent. The solid dosage forms, following contact with a household solvent, such as an aqueous or alcoholic solvent, generate a high viscosity solution, thereby discouraging abuse of the resulting formulation via intravenous (IV) injection.
