Abstract: Disclosed are techniques and apparatuses that are configured to receive an indication that a web browsing session executing on an enterprise server needs additional information based on a request for additional information being sent to a client device. The request may include an identifier of the web browsing session and an identifier of an enterprise server that initiated the web browsing session. A globally unique identifier related to the web browsing session and an identifier of the enterprise server is stored in a common data store. The web browsing session may be paused when the web browsing session requests additional information from a client device. The client device may respond with the additional information. The system may provide the identifier of the enterprise server to a load balancing component so the identified web browsing session executing on the enterprise server may continue to be used.

Abstract: Methods and systems for generating real-time location-based notifications comprising: receiving information regarding a first activity and a first location for a first user, the first location being a location where the first activity was executed by the first user; in response to detecting a second location of a second user being in proximity of the first location, processing the first activity and the first location using a machine learning model to determine a second activity to be executed by the second user, the second user being authorized to access the first activity and the first location for the first user, the second activity being a type of activity that addresses a consequence of the first activity; and generating for display to the second user a notification indicating the second activity for execution.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a method for authenticating calls for a call center where the user can authenticate before or after starting a call to a call center using an application on a user device. The system determines what level of authentication is necessary depending on the task the user wants to accomplish during the call. The system may direct the user to provide credentials, such as a username and password, for some tasks. Other tasks may require the user to verify their financial card by taking a photo of their financial card or tapping their financial card to their device and allow the device to interact with the financial card using NFC technology. Once appropriately authenticated, the system then allows the user to make a call to the call center and also sends a signal to the call center that the user has been previously authenticated.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for improving computer authentication processes through excluding fraudulent transactions in transaction-based authentication. A computing device may receive a request for access to an account from a user. The computing device may provide transaction data to a machine learning model. The computing device may receive data indicating a confidence threshold associated with the user from the machine learning model. The computing device may generate a modified set of merchant choices for the user by excluding merchants related to potentially fraudulent transactions within a predetermined time period. An authentication question may be generated, and access to the account may be provided based on a response to the authentication question.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques and apparatuses that are configured to receive an indication that a web browsing session executing on an enterprise server needs additional information based on a request for additional information being sent to a client device. The request may include an identifier of the web browsing session and an identifier of an enterprise server that initiated the web browsing session. A globally unique identifier related to the web browsing session and an identifier of the enterprise server is stored in a common data store. The web browsing session may be paused when the web browsing session requests additional information from a client device. The client device may respond with the additional information. The system may provide the identifier of the enterprise server to a load balancing component so the identified web browsing session executing on the enterprise server may continue to be used.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for improving computer authentication processes through the exclusion of certain merchants that may cause confusion. Indications of a plurality of different merchants, including merchant logos may be received. The indications may be processed to identify at least one similarity between a first merchant and a second merchant. A request for access to an account associated with a user and transaction data corresponding to the account may be received. Based on the similarity between the first merchant and the second merchant, at least one transaction corresponding to the first merchant may be removed to generate processed transaction record. An authentication question may be generated and a candidate response to the authentication question may be received. Based on the candidate response, access to the account may be provided.

Abstract: A system and method for advanced digital economization for an HVAC system having an economizer. A digital processing unit is configured to open a damper of an economizer within a dead-band range that allows for preemptive cooling prior to a call for cooling. This economization strategy allows for free cooling (outside air) without having to pay energy costs for cooled (air-conditioned) air. The system and method can be used with or without demand control ventilation (DCV). The method also includes a “self-learning” strategy with outside air and return air sensor to regularly sense past economizer damper modifications and average out recent readings to help set the dead-band range. The method can include the ability to work in conjunction with a variable supply fan speed control, provide fault detection, self-correct, auto-configure, and report system status.
