  • Patent number: 12266016
    Abstract: Purchasing, maintaining, and deriving revenue from mobile autonomous units is facilitated by providing a mobile autonomous unit marketplace in which equity shares in mobile autonomous units can be bought, sold and traded. Valuation of mobile autonomous units within the marketplace can be a function of a variety of factors such as the mobile autonomous unit's primary geographic region, and the number, diversity, and time management of revenue streams available to the mobile autonomous units.

  • Patent number: 12223486
    Abstract: The validity of a mail item containing a monetary solicitation is determined. An image is received of the mail item and the image is analyzed to identify a plurality of data fields within the mail item. The validity or invalidity of the data within each of the plurality of identified data fields is then established, and a user-interactive image overlay is generated for the image of the mail item that includes a validity indicator for each of the plurality of identified data fields. The validity indicator is representative of the validity or invalidity of the data within each of the identified plurality of data fields. The user-interactive image overlay is sent to a user device to display the image of the mail item.

  • Patent number: 12158972
    Abstract: A method includes detecting an initial vocalization by a user in an environment including a primary device and a secondary device, analyzing the initial vocalization to determine whether a future vocalization is likely to contain sensitive information based on the initial vocalization where the future vocalization is a potential future vocalization, and controlling, based on determining that the future vocalization is likely to contain sensitive information, a speaker of the primary device to output a noise canceling signal configured to prevent the secondary device from detecting the future vocalization.

  • Patent number: 12125351
    Abstract: Systems and methods relating to a lockbox bank for currency drop-offs are provided. A lockbox bank includes one or more lockboxes, a safe coupled to the one or more lockboxes, and a terminal of a lockbox computing system. Each lockbox includes a receptacle configured to receive a currency drop-off and a locking mechanism. The terminal includes a network interface, a display device, one or more input/output devices, and a processing circuit including a processor and a memory. The memory is structured to store instructions that are executable by the processor and cause the processing circuit to receive a request from the customer to use a lockbox for a currency drop-off, receive access credentials, verify the access credentials, in response to successful verification, grant the customer access to a lockbox, and in response to determining that the drop-off has been completed, move the drop-off from the receptacle to the safe.

  • Publication number: 20240331471
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for executing a transaction via a locker. A seller is provided initial access to the locker to deposit a good in the locker. The seller deposits the good in the locker. Following the seller depositing the good in the locker, the seller's access is revoked, and the buyer is provided access to the locker. The buyer may then arrive at the locker and provide authentication information to an authentication device. When the buyer is authenticated, the locker door (with the good inside the locker) is unlocked. The buyer can then inspect and accept the good. When the good is accepted, funds may be transferred from an account associated with the buyer to an account associated with the seller.

  • Patent number: 12106640
    Abstract: A provider computing system includes a processing circuit comprising one or more processors coupled to one or more memories having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive an indication from a user device that an automated teller machine (ATM) is compromised. The instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to generate, upon receiving the indication that the ATM is compromised, a reward message including a reward for reporting the ATM as being compromised. The instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to transmit the reward message to the user device.

  • Publication number: 20240319727
    Abstract: A method for using an autonomous vehicle includes receiving one or more user preferences for use of the autonomous vehicle. A destination is received for a trip using the autonomous vehicle. An arrival time is received for when the trip needs to be completed. A determination is made as to whether the user preferences includes a preference for physical activity for the trip. One or more routes are provided for the trip to the destination that permits the trip to be completed by the arrival time and that implements at least one of the user preferences. At least one of the routes comprises a hybrid route including one segment in which a physical activity selected by the user is suggested for traversing a distance of the one segment and another segment using the autonomous vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12050864
    Abstract: A provider computing system includes a service recommendation database configured to retrievably store recommendation information, a network interface configured to communicate data over a network, and a processing circuit that includes a processor and memory. The memory is structured to store instructions that are executable by the processor and cause the processing circuit to receive a first set of recommendation information derived from a first set of voice data received by a local voice assistant and store the first set of recommendation information in the services recommendation database. The processing circuit is further caused to receive a request to generate a recommendation from a user voice assistant, derived from a second set of voice data received by the user voice assistant. The processing circuit is also caused to access the first set of recommendation information in response to the request and transmit the recommendation to the user voice assistant.

  • Publication number: 20240104985
    Abstract: Systems and methods for mutual authentication of a user and a container administrator computer system. A container administrator computer system receives a request from a mobile computing device for a user to access a secure container. The request includes a user identifier. The administrator system receives a first authentication factor corresponding to the user. The administrator system authenticates the user by verifying that the first authentication factor matches a first reference authentication factor associated with the user identifier. The administrator system sends a second authentication factor associated with the administrator system to a human-machine interface associated with the secure container or the mobile computing device. The administrator system receives a notification of authentication of the administrator system using the authentication factor. The administrator system transmits an unlock signal to unlock the secure container.
