  • Patent number: 11418483
    Abstract: A user is provided with a GUI that may allow the user to change functionality associated with a non-battery-powered card, a battery-powered card, a payment sticker, or another device (e.g., a mobile telephonic device). Such functionality may cause a network entity to deliver transaction details to a processing facility. The processing facility may be implemented with processing zones for scrubbing personal information from the transaction details and providing sanitized information to third party applications that may utilize the sanitized information for value. Third-party applications may interact with the processing facility via zone-based APIs to promote third-party software development within the processing facility and to promote third-party communications with the processing facility. Each of the processing zones may enforce security contexts such that processing zones of equal security contexts may communicate with other, while processing zones of unequal security contexts may not.

  • Patent number: 11126997
    Abstract: A user is provided with a GUI that may allow the user to change functionality associated with a non-powered card, a powered card or other device (e.g., a mobile telephonic device). The functionality associated with the device may be displayed by the GUI as a list of third-party applications that may be executed when the user's card or other device is used to complete a purchase transaction. The GUI allows the user to purchase/redeem goods and/or services from a third-party vendor after the purchase transaction is completed or may allow the goods and/or services to be purchased/redeemed without first requiring a purchase transaction. A fulfillment system hosted by a remote facility administers the goods/services delivery by tracking user information, mailing information, and delivery status tracking information.
