  • Patent number: 12481974
    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to generating group data objects and monitoring inputs associated with the group data objects to determine if attribute thresholds are satisfied. When satisfied, functionality may be enabled for the users associated with the group data objects. Additionally, when change to the group data object are detected, user interfaces associated with the group data object may be updated to provide real-time indications of information and functionality associated with the group data object.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20250322378
    Abstract: Group functionality enablement is described. A computing system associated with a payment service may cause a user interface of a payment application executing on a user device to display an incentive indicator representing an incentive that is conditionally available to an account of the payment service, wherein the incentive becomes available when the incentive is shared with more than a threshold number of accounts within a period of time. Upon receiving, from the user device, user input data indicating a request to share the incentive with a plurality of additional accounts of the payment service and based on determining that a number of accounts in a group of accounts comprising the account and the plurality of additional accounts satisfies the threshold number, the computing system may enable incentive functionality for the group of accounts.

  • Patent number: 12099985
    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to storing group data objects that associate accounts and generating user interfaces associated with those group data objects. User input data may be received that is associated with the group member accounts and a determination may be made that the user input data is associated with the group data object in question. Elements of the user interface may be altered based on the user input data, and a command may be sent to a device associated with the group data object, where the command may cause a payment application to be displayed in a foreground of the device and may cause display of the element as altered.

  • Publication number: 20240185209
    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to receiving a first interaction and a second interaction associated with a group data object and generating a user interface depicting a conversational view of the first interaction and the second interaction. A user interface is utilized to display, in association with the conversational view of representations of the interactions, a selectable user interface element associated with initiating a payment, wherein selection of the first selectable user interface element causes an input mechanism to be displayed in association with the conversational view. User input data may be received indicating selection of the first selectable user interface element and a first amount to associate with the payment, and the user interface may be updated with a third representation of the payment.
