  • Publication number: 20210133760
    Abstract: A computing system can provide multi-factor authentication. In the system, a second entity can receive a request from a first entity via a network to transfer a user transaction from the second entity to the first entity. The system can extract a user ID from the request. The user ID can be linked to an identity of the user in a computerized user management system of the first entity. The system can determine that the user ID is valid and assigned to a user. The system can determine that the user is authorized to transfer the transaction to the first entity and cause a code to be provided to the second entity and to the user in response. The system can receive an indication that the second entity confirmed receipt of the code by the user and receive the user transaction at the first entity in response.

  • Patent number: 10505889
    Abstract: A social messaging hub provides communication services for a data enabled device having Internet network access capabilities. The social messaging hub communicates with the data enabled device over the Internet or cellular data networks, and interfaces with a message infrastructure including mobile carriers, message aggregators, message exchanges and various specialized social messaging services to enable bi-directional messaging communication. The user is given a registered phone number and unique IP addressable identification which serve as a source and destination identifier of the associated data enabled device. Messages may originate in or be delivered to other users' mobile telephones or in similarly equipped and provisioned IP data enabled devices. An application operating on the IP enabled device determines in conjunction with the social messaging hub a mode of transmission as a function of parameters including device location and destination of a message.
