  • Publication number: 20240119518
    Abstract: The described financial institution computing system provides services to customers through an application programming interface (“API”). The services include user identification services to customers. The user identification services allow the customers to verify the identity of users as non-fraudulent users. Further the user identification services allow the financial institution to provide known user information to the customers for purposes of prepopulating registration forms, completing transactions, and the like. Further services, such as user account validation services, payment services, and the like are also possible through the financial institution APIs. In some situations, users are registered with the financial institution. For example, a user may also be an account holder with the financial institution. In other situations, the users are not registered with the financial institution.

  • Patent number: 11936933
    Abstract: A broadcast headend includes an upstream network circuit, an upstream signal processing circuit, and a content processing circuit. The upstream network circuit is configured to communicate with a financial institution computing system over an internet network. The upstream signal processing circuit is configured to broadcast a video content signal over a broadcast medium to a downstream device. The content processing circuit is configured to receive a content stream including a unique property code associated with a vendor; while the video content signal is being broadcast, parse the unique property code associated with the vendor from the content stream; and send a bill pay request to the financial institution computing system to effect a payment to the vendor.

  • Patent number: 11762528
    Abstract: A computing device may include a provider application and data defining perceptible elements that provide users with various functionalities in more easily consumable stages. The application may determine that the user is at a first level of sophistication based on user activities and/or circumstances, and present a first set of perceptible elements in response thereto to provide a first set of functionalities. The application may then determine the user is at a second, higher level of sophistication based on subsequent activities and/or circumstances, and present a second set of perceptible elements to provide a second set of functionalities that includes at least one new functionality not provided via the first set of perceptible elements. Applications can be less resource intensive by evolving to strategically tailor available functionality to the circumstances and needs of particular users.
