  • Patent number: 12367467
    Abstract: Technology related to processing multi-customer transactions is disclosed. In an example, an interactive element is generated for a transaction and an indication that a device of a first customer captured the interactive element is received. In response to receiving the indication, at least a portion of a listing of items associated with the transaction are presented via a user interface of the device of the first customer. A request to initiate a payment for one or more first items selected by the first customer from at least the portion of the listing of the items can be received and payment for an amount of the one or more first items using funds associated with an account of the first customer can be initiated, wherein a remaining balance associated with one or more remaining items associated with the transaction is payable by at least a second customer.

  • Patent number: 11900341
    Abstract: A decentralized node may generate a network of decentralized nodes individually configured to store, receive, and transmit data based on rules associated with the decentralized nodes. A decentralized node may associate a decentralized identity of an entity with a select decentralized node of the decentralized nodes. A decentralized node may present a user interface including one or more access controls at a edge device, the access controls configuring rules to be applied to third-party access and modification of decentralized identity data associated within the decentralized identity of the entity and stored at the selected decentralized node. A decentralized node may identify the decentralized identity data accessible to the select decentralized node based on the rules. A decentralized node may store the decentralized identity data within the decentralized identity associated with the entity at the select decentralized node.

  • Publication number: 20240005272
    Abstract: An entity computing device associated with a service provider can temporarily provision access to a functionality associated with the service provider to user computing devices operated by users associated with the entity. In an example, the entity computing device can receive, via an application, information from instances of the application executing on the user computing devices. Based on the information, the entity computing device can provision to a user computing device access to a functionality associated with the application. The access can enable the user computing device to independently implement the functionality via an instance of the application. Data corresponding to the usage of the functionality can be received by the entity computing device from the user computing device and can be sent by the entity computing device to the service provider to update database(s) associated with the functionality.

  • Patent number: 11790316
    Abstract: A computing device of an entity associated with a service provider receives information from instances of an application executing on user devices associated with the entity. The application is provided to the entity by the service provider. The entity device determines a user characteristic based on the information and provisions temporary access to a service functionality associated with a service that benefits the entity to the user device based on the user characteristic. The entity device may receive first data from the user device corresponding to the use of the service functionality. The entity device may generate aggregated data by aggregating the first data with second data received from another personal device being operated by another user and may send the aggregated data to the service provider to update databases storing third data associated with the service functionality.

  • Publication number: 20210035055
    Abstract: Techniques for temporarily providing access to a functionality associated with a service to one or more personal devices corresponding to one or more users is described. In an example, an entity device may provision temporary access to a functionality associated with a service that benefits the entity to a personal device operated by a user. The personal device may utilize the functionality to perform a task, such as inventory data collection. The entity device may determine an occurrence of an event, and based at least in part on the occurrence of the event, may terminate the provisioning of the temporary access to the functionality. The entity device may receive data, such as inventory data, from the personal device and may send the data to a payment processing system.
