  • Patent number: 9495525
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus, a method, and a computer program product for authenticating a user based on a sequence of rhythmic inputs. The user via a mobile device provides one or more inputs (e.g., pushing a button, tapping a touchscreen, a biometric, or the like) to one or more sensors associated with the mobile device as an attempt of authorization. The one or more inputs may be provided in a rhythmic manner (e.g., provided in time with music). The present invention then compares the provided one or more inputs to one or more predetermined sequences of inputs that are associated with positive authentication of the user (e.g., a known password). The phone determines that the one or more provided inputs match one or more predetermined rhythmic sequences associated with positive authentication of the user and authenticates the user.

  • Publication number: 20160275608
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products utilizing a generated retirement score for use qualification and authorization to receive benefits. In this way, the invention calculates a retirement score for the user indicating the user's preparedness for retirement at a future predetermined date, wherein the future predetermined date is selected by the user. In response, the system displays the retirement score on a retirement planning interface on a user device. Subsequently, the invention parses out the component parts of the retirement score, distributes the parsed scores within the entity to determine benefits available to the user. These benefits may be provide via the planning interface. Finally, the retirement score may be combined with financial assessment scores and provided to third parties for product approval and implementation for user.

  • Publication number: 20160275612
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for assessing retirement planning based on a retirement score. The system is configured to compile projected retirement information of a first user, wherein the retirement information comprises a user profile of the first user. Based on the user profile of the first user, the system generates a projected retirement score. After generating the projected retirement score, the system receives a request to link a user profile for a second user to the user profile of the first user. The system projected retirement information of the second user and combines the projected retirement information of the first user with the projected retirement information of the second user, thus resulting in combined projected retirement information. Using both the projected retirement information, the system updates the projected retirement score.

  • Publication number: 20160275609
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products optimizing a generated retirement score. In this way, the invention calculates a retirement score for the user indicating the user's preparedness for retirement at a future predetermined date. The invention continues by retrieving historic retirement scores for the user. Based on the scores, user spend data, user location, and financial products associated with the user, the invention identifies improvements to a user retirement score. The user may be automatically shifted into products that may improve the retirement score. Furthermore, the invention may augment historical retirement score data to present illustrations of the effect of recommendations on current and/or future retirement scores if the recommendations are implemented.

  • Publication number: 20160253757
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention comprise systems, computer program products, and methods for retirement planning. The financial institution accesses the values of assets and liabilities of users over a network from various servers, systems, and devices that store asset and liability information of the users. The financial institution determines estimated inflows and outflows from past inflows and outflows and any other significant future events over the network from various servers, systems, and devices that store transaction information. The financial institution calculates an available fund amount that a user can spend over a period of time, and an age parameter indicating the age at which the user's inflows and assets will not be able to cover the user's outflows. The financial institution displays the information in an interactive interface over the network that allows the user to make adjustments to the available fund amount and/or the age parameter to adjust retirement planning.

  • Patent number: 9432804
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using proximity positioning systems to determine an identity and location of a user, and process a pre-staged transaction based on the determined information are provided. In some examples, a transaction may be initiated by a user. A financial institution may pre-process the transaction and, upon establishing a physical presence of the user at a banking center, may further process and/or complete the transaction. The physical presence of the user may be established based on a signal from a location beacon at the banking center being detected by a personal computing device of the user. Because the personal computing device is within a predefined proximity of the location beacon in order to detect the signal, the location of the location beacon, and, thus the personal computing device may be determined, and an identity of the user may be determined.
