Patent number: 11863579Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention generally relate to identity authentication and/or recognition. Some embodiments provide a method for determining when a user may engage in a restricted activity, including engaging in an initial contact with a user via a medium for exchange, receiving a request to engage in an activity, determining an activity trust threshold required for the activity, determining an initial identity trust score for the user, and comparing the initial identity trust score with the activity trust threshold. Based on the comparison, the user is either allowed to engage in the activity, rejected from engaging in the activity, or additional identifying information is collected.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Debra Casillas, Richard Andrew Davey, Michael Frank Morris, Maland Keith Mortensen, John David Row, Thomas Buckingham, Tammy Sanclemente

Patent number: 9203860Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention generally relate to identity authentication and/or recognition. Some embodiments provide a method for determining when a user may engage in a restricted activity, including engaging in an initial contact with a user via a channel, acquiring identifying information relating to the user, receiving, from the user, a request to engage in an activity, determining an activity trust threshold required for the activity, based on the identifying information, determining an initial identity trust score for the user based on the identifying information, comparing the initial identity trust score with the activity trust threshold. Based on the comparison, the user is either allowed to engage in the activity, rejected from engaging in the activity, or additional identifying information is collected.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2012Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Debra Casillas, Richard Andrew Davey, Michael Frank Morris, Maland Keith Mortensen, John David Row, Thomas Buckingham, Tammy Sanclemente

Patent number: 9185095Abstract: Methods and systems for behavioral profiling are described. In some embodiments, a method includes observing behavioral characteristics of user interactions during a current session with the user through one of a plurality of channels. Variations between the behavioral characteristics of the user interactions observed during the current session and a behavioral profile previously developed based on prior usage patterns of the user through the plurality of channels are identified, in real-time or near real-time. For the user to proceed in the session, a challenge level is implemented based on the variations between the behavioral characteristics and the behavioral profile.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Karen Moritz, Stephen Seyler Aultman, Joseph James Albert Campbell, Debra Casillas, Jonathan Edward Neuse, Sara Teresa Alonzo, Thomas Bret Buckingham, Gabriel Carlos Fernandez, Maland Keith Mortensen
