  • Publication number: 20160247228
    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 and 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 and allows for optimization of available fund amount or the age parameter using a location change, peer information, and available financial products. Additionally, the user may set goals, and the financial institution may monitor the user's transactions and provide alerts to the user.

  • Patent number: 9424575
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to communicating an operating system-level token for user identification and/or authentication. Embodiments store a token at an operating system-level, wherein the token is accessible by an operating system running on the apparatus, and wherein the token comprises user identification information and/or user authentication information; and in response to an initiating event, initiate communication of the token to a second apparatus external to the apparatus. Some embodiments include initiation of an operation system-level instruction set for periodically, continuously, or in response to detecting a request, initiating communication of the token.
