  • Patent number: 11171963
    Abstract: A multi-factored authentication system is provided to identify users. Accordingly, the authentication system may utilize a combination of multiple authentication methods to identify and authenticate a user, such as facial recognition, voice recognition, fingerprint/retinal recognition, detection of cards/chips or smartphones located with the user, PINs, passwords, cryptographic keys, tokens, and the like. The various authentication methods may be used to calculate a confidence value for the authentication system, where the confidence value reflects the degree of certainty of the user's identity. Each authentication method may, upon identifying a positive match for a user, increase the confidence value by a certain degree.

  • Patent number: 10826890
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a persistent integration platform for conducting a multichannel resource transfer. In particular, the system may utilize a multi-step and multilayered authentication process across multiple disparate computing systems to complete the resource transfer process. In some embodiments, the system may utilize a persistent element which may be accessed by the user across multiple devices which aids in the resource transfer. The system may further require the user to authenticate with multiple methods across the multiple devices, which increases the security of the resource transfer process.

  • Publication number: 20190102762
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for self-generation of denominational resources. In this way, the system integrates functionality of computer terminals into use mobile devices for self-generation of digital resources for distribution and utilization by the recipient in the form of a token. In this way, the user may digitally extract resources for storage or transmission to a receiver. The digital resource will be treated as a physical resource and are removed from the user's resource account and held as pending.

  • Patent number: 10015795
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to, in general, mobile device translation into a secure channel identifier for resource management. Typically, a system configured to establish a network activity channel with a networked device is provided. In some embodiments, based on analyzing a trigger signal, the system is configured to identify a network activity initiated by the user. In some embodiments, the system identifies a network activity channel configured for performing the network activity initiated by the user, based on at least determining a channel latency of the network activity channel. The system may then present the network activity channel to the user, configure the network activity channel such that the mobile device associated with the user is a secure channel identifier for performing the network activity; and modify, dynamically, a channel interface associated with the network activity channel based on the identified network activity and the trigger signal.

  • Publication number: 20180114222
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to interaction among an entity, an entity's mobile device, one or more Automated Teller Machines (ATM's), an associated beacon generator, and a support computing system. With some embodiments, the beacon generator generates a beacon signal to the mobile device. The mobile device extracts beacon information such as an identification of the beacon generator and/or associated ATM and conveys this information to the support computing system via a second wireless channel. The support computing system subsequently instructs the ATM to transition to an appropriate display container as the entity approaches the ATM. The ATM may further transition to different display containers based on interactions with the entity and/or support computing system.
