  • Patent number: 11962645
    Abstract: Systems and methods for guided personal identity based actions are provided. In example embodiments, a user-specified action from a first user device of a first user is received. The user-specified action pertains to the first user and uses data of the first user when performed. The user-specified action is linked to an identifier. An indication of the identifier is received from a second user device of a second user. In response to receiving the indication of the identifier, the user-specified action linked to the identifier is identified, the data of the first user is accessed, a user interface that includes an option to perform the user-specified action using the data of the first user is generated, and the generated user interface is presented on the second user device.

  • Patent number: 11675989
    Abstract: Systems and methods for custom functional patterns for optical barcodes are provided. In example embodiments, image data of an image is received from a user device. A candidate shape feature of the image is extracted from the image data. A determination is made that the shape feature satisfies a shape feature rule. In response to the candidate shape feature satisfying the shape feature rule, a custom graphic in the image is identified by comparing the candidate shape feature with a reference shape feature of the custom graphic. In response to identifying the custom graphic, data encoded in a portion of the image is decoded.

  • Publication number: 20230024899
    Abstract: A modular organizational carrier device includes at least one strap module; at least one rigid divider loop; and a carrier having a touch fastener attached to its surface. The strap module has a rigid base with four sidewalls, two opposite surfaces, one of which has a mating touch fastener attached. An elastic strap extends across the other surface from sidewall to sidewall. The divider has four sidewalls forming a rounded rectangle surrounding an aperture through which the strap module slides. One of the sidewalls is concave, extending into the aperture so the aperture tapers at its center. A method of organizing articles on the carrier includes sliding the divider loop along the strap module, subdividing the elastic strap length; pressing the rigid base onto to the carrier surface; and sliding the article snugly between a first portion of the elastic strap and the rigid base.

  • Publication number: 20220303336
    Abstract: Systems and methods for guided personal identity based actions are provided. In example embodiments, a user-specified action from a first user device of a first user is received. The user-specified action pertains to the first user and uses data of the first user when performed. The user-specified action is linked to an identifier. An indication of the identifier is received from a second user device of a second user. In response to receiving the indication of the identifier, the user-specified action linked to the identifier is identified, the data of the first user is accessed, a user interface that includes an option to perform the user-specified action using the data of the first user is generated, and the generated user interface is presented on the second user device.
