Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for electronic resource transfer authentication via a user characteristic data verification engine. The system receives a request to transfer electronic resources from a first endpoint device of a merchant. The system then identifies a resource vehicle owner associated with the electronic resource transfer, identifies at least one second endpoint device, then transmits a request for verification from the entity to the at least one second endpoint device, utilizing an application programming interface. The user characteristic feedback hardware of the at least one second endpoint device collects identifier data from the user of the at least one second endpoint device, and a user characteristic data verification engine is initiated and thereafter determines a binary identification output. An entirety of the electronic resources are distributed to the merchant based on the binary identification output.

Abstract: Voice communication network defense security which allows for managing and/or preventing voice calls based on which telecommunication carrier provided the calling number. By managing calls based on telecommunication carrier as opposed to the calling number, the present invention seeks to prevent intrusion by wrongdoers who may otherwise be in possession with an unlimited supply of calling numbers. Further, by implementing the security measures at the voice communication network perimeter, voice calls can be managed and/or prevented/block in real-time while the call is in a pre-answer state. As a result, the present invention provides the capability to prevent/block wrongdoers from accessing the intra-voice communication network or, at a minimum ensures that potential wrongdoers are properly vetted through an investigative process.

Abstract: A technique is provided for creating digital memories for a particular person. A data store stores personal data derived from signals gathered from a plurality of sensors that monitor the particular person. Memories creation processing circuitry, responsive to detection of a given event associated with the particular person, performs an augmentation process to generate an augmented given event identifying multiple items of data associated with the given event, including personal data associated with the given event obtained from the data store. The memories creation processing circuitry analyses the multiple items of data identified by the augmented given event in order to generate a given digital memory for the given event. A memories data store stores digital memories generated by the memories creation processing circuitry for the particular person, and memories analysis circuitry determines and maintains associations between the digital memories in the memories data store.
