Patent number: 11714880Abstract: The technology disclosed performs hand pose estimation on a so-called “joint-by-joint” basis. So, when a plurality of estimates for the 28 hand joints are received from a plurality of expert networks (and from master experts in some high-confidence scenarios), the estimates are analyzed at a joint level and a final location for each joint is calculated based on the plurality of estimates for a particular joint. This is a novel solution discovered by the technology disclosed because nothing in the field of art determines hand pose estimates at such granularity and precision. Regarding granularity and precision, because hand pose estimates are computed on a joint-by-joint basis, this allows the technology disclosed to detect in real time even the minutest and most subtle hand movements, such a bend/yaw/tilt/roll of a segment of a finger or a tilt an occluded finger, as demonstrated supra in the Experimental Results section of this application.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2019Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Ultrahaptics IP Two LimitedInventors: Jonathan Marsden, Raffi Bedikian, David Samuel Holz

Patent number: 11704754Abstract: Computing devices, systems, and methods for automatically prompting a foreign currency transaction by detecting a trip end condition associated with a registered user with respect to travel to a foreign location associated with a foreign currency. The methods and system may further determine that the registered user has a remaining foreign currency balance, and, as a result, may identify and send to the registered user's mobile device at least one option for using the remaining foreign currency balance. The at least one option may be a merchant offer from a merchant located in the area of the mobile device or may include an option to exchange the foreign currency for another currency. The trip end condition may be detected by determining that the registered user and/or user's mobile device is at an international departure location. The currency exchange may be with another registered user.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2020Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: David Samuel Tax, Milos Dunjic, Kushank Rastogi, Joseph Matthew Capern

Patent number: 11689370Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, devices, apparatuses, and processes that dynamically implement and manage consent and permissioning protocols using container-based applications. By way of example, a device may receive, through a programmatic interface, a first request for an element of data generated by an executed application program. When the first request is consistent with consent data associated the executed application program, the device may obtain the requested data element and a digital signature applied to the requested data element by a computing system. Based on a verification of the applied digital signature, the device may generate and present a representation of the requested data element within a digital interface, along with an interface element that confirms the verification of the digital signature.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2019Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: Milos Dunjic, Arthur Carroll Chow, David Samuel Tax, Armon Rouhani, Keith Sanjay Ajmani, Gregory Albert Kliewer, Anthony Haituyen Nguyen, Martin Albert Lozon, Kareem El-Onsi, Ashkan Alavi-Harati, Arun Victor Jagga

Patent number: 11687933Abstract: A server includes a processor that receives, from a first device, initiation message(s) each including a service identifier and a service value and, for each initiation message, saves in a database a record comprising the service identifier in association with the service value. The processor receives, from a second device, authorization message(s) each including one of the service identifiers and an authorization value, and for each authorization message, validates one of the initiation messages by (i) locating in the database the record comprising the one service identifier, and (ii) confirming that the service value in the located database record matches the authorization value. The processor updates a journal with an entry identifying a transfer between a first ledger and a second ledger in an amount equal to a sum of the service values of the validated initiation messages, and provides the first device with a message confirming the transfer.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2018Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: Milos Dunjic, David Samuel Tax, Arun Victor Jagga
