Patent number: 12026709Abstract: Example embodiments of systems, methods, and computer-accessible mediums for transaction authorization are provided. An exemplary system can comprise a card including an input device and a display device in data communication with a server. The server can generate an authorization passcode upon an initiation of a transaction session, and the card can receive an entered passcode through the input device, display the entered passcode on the display device, and transmit the entered passcode to the server for comparison to the authorization passcode. Upon a determination that the entered passcode is a match for the authorization passcode, the server can transmit a match notification indicating the transaction session is valid, and upon a determination that the entered passcode is a mismatch for the authorization passcode, the server can transmit a mismatch notification terminating the transaction session.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2022Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: CAPITAL ONE SERVICES, LLCInventors: Cruz Vargas, Andrea Montealegre, Daniel John Marsch, Sophie Bermudez, William Carroll

Patent number: 12020296Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for providing contextualized reviews. A customer can make a review, such as reviewing a product or a business, outlining their experience. To provide additional emotional context, biometric data can be obtained and compared to the customer's historical biometric data. Upon determining that the biometric data has deviated from the historical biometric data, the review data from the review can be revised to include a notification. The customer can also be alerted and warned to not post the review if their emotional state is found to be negative. The process can be repeated on a plurality of customers opted-in to the contextualized review system. For the plurality of customers, a plurality of reviews can be analyzed for a business or service provider by, for instance, emphasizing emotional reviews, ranking the reviews, or filtering out non-emotional reviews.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2020Date of Patent: June 25, 2024Assignee: CAPITAL ONE SERVICES, LLCInventors: Salik Shah, Michael Mossoba, Cruz Vargas

Patent number: 12022281Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed herein for secure communication between computing devices. A mobile device may communicate with an untrusted device to cause the untrusted device to send information (e.g., encrypted information that the untrusted device is unable to decrypt) to a server using an Internet connection of the untrusted device. The mobile device may have limited or no access to the Internet. To prevent potential security risks associated with using a public or untrusted device, the mobile device may encrypt information stored on the mobile device (e.g., stored in a mobile application associated with the server), send it to the untrusted device (e.g., by displaying a QR code to a camera of the untrusted device), and the untrusted device may send the information to the server via a network connection of the untrusted device.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2021Date of Patent: June 25, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Rajko Ilincic, Lin Ni Lisa Cheng, Phoebe Atkins, Deny Daniel, Cruz Vargas

Publication number: 20240152997Abstract: In some implementations, a credit decision platform may receive a credit request from an applicant and obtain domestic historical data associated with the applicant from a credit bureau device. The credit decision platform may obtain access to an email account associated with the applicant based on determining that the domestic historical data associated with the applicant is insufficient to process the credit request. The credit decision platform may identify, using one or more machine learning models, a set of email messages included in the email account that are relevant to the credit request and may analyze content included in the set of email messages to generate non-domestic historical data associated with the applicant. The credit decision platform may generate a decision on the credit request based on an estimated creditworthiness of the applicant, which may be determined based on the non-domestic historical data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Lin Ni Lisa CHENG, Joshua EDWARDS, Phoebe ATKINS, Max MIRACOLO, Cruz VARGAS, Brian MCCLANAHAN, Alexander LIN, Louis BUELL, Michael MOSSOBA

Publication number: 20240061846Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe customizing searching. Search queries may be customized according to a user's preferences. A user may emphasize or indicate that additional weight should be given to one or more terms in a search query. Terms that are weighted higher may have a larger impact on the results that are returned in response to the search query. In addition to changing the terms in a search query, a user may provide a weight for each term. Each term in a search query may be weighted to varying degrees, giving a user more control over the results that are returned. The weights may be used with machine learning techniques to generate a vector representation of a search query. The vector representation of the search query may be compared with vector representations of search objects to determine results that match the search query.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Alexander Lin, Cruz Vargas, Joshua Edwards, Max Miracolo, Mia Rodriguez, Phoebe Atkins
