Publication number: 20240098092Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for authenticating requests to access one or more accounts over a network using authenticity evaluations of two or more automated decision engines are discussed. A login request for access to a user account may be submitted to multiple decision engines that each apply different rulesets for authenticating the login request, and output an evaluation of the authenticity of the login request. Based on evaluations from multiple automated decision engines, the login request may be allowed to proceed to validation of user identity and, if user identity is validated, access to the user account may be authorized. Based on the evaluations, the login attempt may also be rejected. One or more additional challenge question may be returned to the computing device used to request account access, and the login request allowed to proceed to validation of identity if the response to the challenge question is deemed acceptable.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Mark David Castonguay, Upul D. Hanwella, Bryan Hall, Nicola A. Maiorana, David Lerner

Publication number: 20230283599Abstract: Systems and techniques for an adaptive authentication system are described herein. In an example, an adaptive authentication system is adapted to receive a request at a first entity from a second entity for secure data of a user, where the second entity is remote from the first entity. The adaptive authentication system may be further adapted to transmit a prompt to a user device associated with the user for authentication of the user and authentication of the request. The adaptive authentication system may be further adapted to receive a response to the prompt and authenticate the user and the request based on the response. The adaptive authentication system may be further adapted to transmit the secure data of the user to the second entity.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Harlan H. Bloom, Lizmari Brignoni, Mark David Castonguay, Lisa Munter Clarke, Upul D. Hanwella, Traci H. Nguyen, Erica Ulrich

Patent number: 11284208Abstract: A method and a system for monitoring operation of at least one loudspeaker in a system comprising a plurality of loudspeakers connected in series on a same amplifier output in at least one loudspeaker chain driven by an amplifier board, the method comprising measuring a current consumed by the amplifier in an operating position of the plurality of loudspeakers, yielding a reference current; stopping the masking system into an idle position; emitting the reference signal, measuring an idle current consumed by the amplifier; and comparing the idle current with the reference current. The system comprises a microprocessor unit and a current measurement module, wherein the current measurement module is configured to measure a current drawn by the amplifiers and feed a resulting signal to the microprocessor unit; and the microprocessor unit generates an output signal to respective output channel.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Inventors: David Castonguay, Alex Boudreau

Publication number: 20210365922Abstract: Systems and techniques for a device controls system are described herein. In an example, a device control system for managing access to personal account data is adapted to receive, from a user device, a set of personalized transaction rules for an account of a user. Each personalized transaction rule may indicate a set of transactional parameters for permitting transactions with a service. The system may be further adapted to receive a transaction request from the service. The transaction request may include contextual data related to the transaction request. The system may be further adapted to determine that the contextual data meets the respective transactional parameters of a personalized transaction rule of the set of personalized transaction rules.
