Abstract: Dynamic web content personalization may be used to alter a web page such that two different people who view that web page do not see the exact same content on that page. The present disclosure includes techniques that allow a web page to be structured, via underlying source code, so that content can be dynamically generated based on a user transaction history. Further, dynamic content customization can effectively change the layout and functionality of a web page in ways not previously contemplated. For example, different control elements may become accessible based on a particular contextual user profile assigned to a user based on a transaction history. Modular content modules may also have a different appearance for different users.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing risk determination in a crypto currency transaction include receiving, through a network via a broadcast by a first payer device, a first crypto currency transaction that includes a first payee public address. A first request for a determination of risk associated with the first crypto currency transaction is then identified in the first crypto currency transaction, with the first request including risk criteria. A first payee involved in the first crypto currency transaction is then identified using the first payee public address, and first payee risk information is accessed via at least one external risk information database based on the identification of the first payee. If it is determined that the first payee risk information satisfies the at least one risk criteria in the first request, the first crypto currency transaction is provided for addition to a block in a crypto currency public ledger.

Abstract: Blockchain validation is provided by receiving a first validation request of a blockchain. A hashing algorithm is applied to a first block of the blockchain to generate a first hash value. In response to the first validation request of the blockchain, a first image from a plurality of images is provided on a display device. The first image is selected to be provided for display on the display device based on the first hash value. The first image may be compared to a second image that was provided for display on the display device prior to the first validation request and that image was provided based on a second hash value to determine whether the first image and the second image are substantially similar, which indicates that no changes have been made to the data in the blockchain.

Abstract: A dispute resolution cryptocurrency sidechain system includes a system provider that determines that a transaction amount for a transaction has been received at a first public ledger address on a public ledger from a second public ledger address and, in response, allocates a sidechain address on a dispute resolution sidechain ledger. The system provider then sends, through a network to a payer and a payee involved in the transaction, the sidechain address, and monitors the sidechain address for dispute communications. Based on detecting a first dispute communication that is received at the sidechain address and that is signed using a private key that identifies the payer, the system provider device causes a portion of the transaction amount that was received at the first public ledger address to be sent to the second public ledger address.

Abstract: A method for receiving a payment includes receiving information for a transaction with a merchant over the network, wherein the transaction includes an incomplete online transaction associated with a user account. A location of a user device that is associated with the user account is then retrieved, and a payment location is determined that is within a predetermined distance of the location of the user device. The payment location is then sent over the network to the user device. The user of the user device may then go to the payment location to provide payment information offline to a payment location device (e.g., by presenting a payment card to the payment location device provider, providing cash, etc.). That payment information is then received over the network from the payment location device and, in response, the online transaction is completed.

Abstract: A hardware device may receive a command from a user and then respond to that command with information. Such commands may cause an audible response to be broadcast via speaker. A device's audio reply to a command may include sensitive details that a person may not wish to share. When a device makes such an audio reply, it may therefore divulge sensitive information to one or more other people that are in listening range. A person utilizing such a device may thus inadvertently compromise his own privacy. The present disclosure includes techniques that are usable to mitigate such privacy exposures by detecting a presence of a second person in a surrounding environment and creating a reply that omits some or all of the sensitive information that might have otherwise been broadcast by a command device.
