Abstract: A device for operating an apparatus comprising a first controller configured to be controlled by a first control signal, a second controller configured to be controlled by a second control signal, a control unit operatively connected to the first controller and the second controller, wherein the first controller and the second controller are both configured to operate the apparatus.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are described for securely authenticating a user at an appropriate level of security depending on context. A system embodiment includes a meta-wallet system platform, a user mobile device, and a plurality of entity computers. A meta-wallet processor receives a user authentication request from a user mobile device including a meta-wallet identifier, an entity identifier, a context identifier, and at least one of user biometric data, user personal assets data, and user social media data. The meta-wall processor then determines that the user is a registered meta-wallet user, defined at least one security protocol, and is engaging in a predetermined type of activity. A security protocol is then selected, and a determination made that a combination of personally identifiable assets data and user biometric data and/or user social media data matches stored data and satisfies the security protocol.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in deploying an application to one or more different regions. One exemplary method includes selecting, at a deployment device, a stack defining the application. The stack includes metadata and incorporates at least one user interface and at least one application programming interface (API). The exemplary method further includes adapting, by the deployment device, the selected stack to a region based on the metadata and the region; and deploying the application to be accessible to at least a consumer in said region.

Abstract: A device for operating an apparatus comprising a first controller configured to be controlled by a first control signal, a second controller configured to be controlled by a second control signal, a control unit operatively connected to the first controller and the second controller, wherein the first controller and the second controller are both configured to operate the apparatus.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems are described for securely authenticating a person at an appropriate level of security depending on context without having to enter any passwords. In some embodiments, a meta-wallet processor receives a request for user authentication from a user device which includes a meta-wallet identifier, an entity identifier, a context identifier and user biometric data and/or user personal assets data, and/or user social media data. The meta-wallet processor determines that the user is registered meta-wallet user and is engaging in a predetermined type of activity, selects an authentication protocol, determines that the user biometric data and/or user personal assets data, and/or user social media data matches stored personal meta-wallet data and satisfies the authentication protocol, and then transmits a user authentication confirmation message to one of the user device and an entity computer associated with the entity identifier.

Abstract: Intelligent advice and transaction handling systems and methods. An embodiment includes a merchant device, a merchant server computer, a consumer mobile device, and a smart preferences computer having a decision engine operably connected to a storage device. The storage device stores instructions configured to cause the decision engine to receive service call data associated with a purchase transaction, and determine that a cardholder associated with the purchase transaction is a registered smart preferences user. The process includes accessing smart preferences cardholder profile data, determining a recommendation including at least a first choice payment card account and a second choice payment card account, and then transmitting the first choice payment card account data to the merchant device for purchase transaction processing when the cardholder profile data includes a permission indication. However, the recommendation is transmitted to the cardholder device when the permission indication is not found.

Abstract: Systems and methods for permitting a consumer to consummate a purchase transaction when the purchase transaction amount exceeds an available credit limit and that consumer has assets to cover the overage amount. Thus, in some embodiments a net worth confirmation platform receives transaction information, transmits the transaction information to an Issuer financial institution (FI), receives an indication from the Issuer FI that the that the transaction is unauthorized, and determines that at least one business rule applies to the transaction and an overage amount. The net worth confirmation platform also determines a net worth estimate of the consumer based on at least one asset of the consumer, and transmits a transaction authorization message to the merchant when the business rule(s) is or are satisfied.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, an asset confirmation platform may receive transaction information about a purchase being made by a customer from a merchant. Responsive to the received transaction information, the asset confirmation platform may automatically determine a monetary value of at least one asset owned by the customer. The asset might be associated with, for example, stocks owned by the customer in a trading account. An indication associated with the monetary value of the asset may then be transmitted.
