  • Publication number: 20240111920
    Abstract: A method includes determining a first state of a simulation being run by a system and sending first data indicative of the first state of the simulation to a first computing device. The method further includes receiving, after the first data is sent, second data from the first computing device. The second data includes at least one first instruction configured to cause a first move associated with the simulation and is formatted according to a specification. The method further includes determining a second state of the simulation based on the second data received from the first computing device and sending third data indicative of the second state of the simulation to a second computing device. The method further includes receiving, after sending the third data, fourth data from the second computing device. The fourth data includes at least one second instruction configured to cause a second move.

  • Publication number: 20240070675
    Abstract: A fraud detection system may identify a suspected fraudulent transaction based on one or more criteria. The transaction may be associated with a user. Based on identifying a suspected fraudulent transaction, the fraud detection system may receive augmented reality data from an augmented reality device of the user. The fraud detection system may determine, based on the augmented reality data, whether the transaction is fraudulent, and may take an action based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 11907862
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described herein for performing sentiment analysis on electronic communications relating to one or more image-based communications methods, such as emoji. Message data may be received. The message data may correspond to a message that is intended to be sent but has not yet been sent to an application. Using a first machine learning model, one or more subsets of the plurality of emoji may be determined. The one or more subsets of the plurality of emoji may comprise one or more different types and quantities of emoji, and may each correspond to the same or a different sentiment. Using a second machine learning model, one or more emojis may be selected from the one or more subsets. The one or more emojis selected may correspond to responses to the message.

  • Publication number: 20230315828
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an authentication prompt may be generated based on (i) an object, detected in an image stream of an environment of a user, satisfying one or more criteria and (ii) object data associated with the detected object. The criteria may include (i) the object being in a plurality of different samples and (ii) the object being in a first spatial region of a first sample of the different samples, where the first spatial region of the first sample is a spatial region at which the user looked. An authentication response may be obtained from a user device of the user in connection with the authentication prompt, and the user may be authenticated based on the authentication response obtained from the user device.

  • Patent number: 11743267
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and device embodiments for implementing location identification in multi-factor authentication (MFA). In an example embodiment, a user service may present a geographic map based on a MFA process, and receive an authentication attempt including a geographic indicator and interaction information. Further, the system may determine whether the authentication attempt was made by a human based at least in part on the interaction information, determine whether the geographic indicator matches an expected response, and send, to an electronic device, an authentication result indicating whether geographic information was determined to be selected by a human and the geographic indicator was determined to match the expected response.
