Patent number: 12579542Abstract: A system for managing and using digital financial assets, such as cryptocurrency uses multiple independent devices that mutually cooperate to control cryptocurrency assets in a secure manner. Each of these devices may store a unique private key associated with the cryptocurrency assets, which may be configured such that a certain minimum number of these private keys are required to transfer the cryptocurrency assets. The use of multiple private keys spread across multiple distinct devices may reduce the likelihood of loss stemming from a hardware failure or reduce the likelihood of an attacker successfully gaining access to the cryptocurrency assets. In addition, selection of the devices to be used for storing these private keys, as well as how many private keys are required to authorize a transaction, may be tailored to balance a user's preferences for reliability of access versus security and for third-party custody versus self-custody.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 17, 2026Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Max Guise, Justin Williams, Jesse Posner, Alexander Schoof, Jordan Mecom, Arvin Aminpour, Allison Moyer, Kirill Zhukov, David Robinson, Bradley Ryan, Ryan Lanman, Lindsey Grossman

Patent number: 12387202Abstract: A system for locally authenticating a transaction of digital financial assets, such as cryptocurrency. A first device may locally store financial assets in non- volatile memory of the first device. The first device may use the locally-stored financial assets to conduct a local transaction with a second device. The first device may generate a transaction settlement data token and exchange the token with the second device, wherein the transaction settlement data token includes information specific to the local transaction, a value associated with the local transaction, and encrypted personal information associated with the first device. After receiving a confirmation of transmission from the second device, the value associated with the local transaction may be debited from the locally-stored financial assets.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: August 12, 2025Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Shivaraman Ramachandran, Max Guise, Justin Williams, Jesse Posner, Alexander Schoof, Jordan Mecom, Arvin Aminpour, Allison Moyer, Kirill Zhukov, David Robinson, Bradley Ryan, Ryan Lanman, Lindsey Grossman

Patent number: 11900815Abstract: Technologies for providing augmented reality wayfinding experiences in ridesharing applications are provided. In some examples, a method for providing augmented reality wayfinding experiences can include determining a first location of an autonomous vehicle (AV) relative to a second location of a client device associated with a user that requested a ride from the AV; based on the first location of the AV relative to the second location of the client device, determining a direction from the second location of the client device to the first location of the AV; presenting, at the client device, a feed from a camera sensor associated with the client device, the feed including a local scene captured by the camera sensor; and presenting a virtual content overlay on the feed, the virtual content overlay including an indication of the direction from the second location of the client device to the first location of the AV.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: GM Cruise Holdings LLCInventors: Jessica Leary, Jonathon Staff, Pratikbhai Patel, Bradley Ryan, Josh Berlin, John Logan Anderson, Michael Magnoli, Stanley Shiao

Publication number: 20230245071Abstract: Technologies for providing real-time visualizations of a behavior of an autonomous vehicle (AV) associated with a ride request. In some examples, a method for providing real-time visualizations of a behavior of an AV associated with a ride request can include receiving a user request for a ride from an AV, wherein the user request specifies a pick-up location associated with a user; receiving sensor data from one or more sensors associated with the AV; determining, based on the sensor data, a state and context of the AV while the AV is en route to the pick-up location; and presenting, at a display interface, a map depicting one or more visual indicators of the state and context of the AV, the state and context of the AV including a location of the AV and one or more AV operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Jessica LEARY, Jonathon STAFF, John Logan Anderson, Max MEYERS, Pratikbhai PATEL, Robin YANG, Bradley RYAN, Josh BERLIN, Teresa LIN, Stanley SHIAO, Michael MAGNOLI, Chau-Yan WANG, Christopher FRY
