  • Patent number: 12482036
    Abstract: There is provided systems and method for unified payment account establishment and incorporation in a main payment account. A service provider, such as a payment provider, may offer merchants with a development kit that unifies payment methods between various merchants and the service provider so that users are provided with more easily established payment accounts with the merchants. The development kit may include an account establishment interface that may be utilized in a merchant ordering and payment application for a merchant. The interface may provide for establishment of a payment account with the merchant. When initially establishing the payment account, the user may generate a provisional account, which may be synchronized to a payment account the user has with the service provider. When synchronizing the two accounts, the user may transfer information to the merchant, which may be redacted to prevent the merchant from receiving sensitive information.

  • Patent number: 10091327
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for processing available user data to determine a user profile for use in anticipating changing user interest. User data for a user may be collected, which may be used to determine a dynamic user profile for the user. The dynamic user profile may be responsive to changes in the user data, as the user performs more actions or indicates interests in certain areas. The dynamic user profile may include user interests and trends of the user, and may be used to perform predictive analysis of the user's potential interests. Additionally, using a plurality of users' interest areas and links based on common users between the interest areas, upcoming interests for the user may be determined through links between interest areas. Thus, if similar users based on interest areas are linked to a certain interest, the user may also be linked to that interest.

  • Patent number: 8295099
    Abstract: A data value is read from one port of a dual-port memory cell during a clock cycle. A WRITE assist pulse having a delay from an end-of-read signal is generated. The delay and duration of the WRITE assist pulse are optionally user-selectable. A high voltage (e.g., Vdd) is coupled to the bitlines (e.g., BL-A, BLc-A) of the first port during the WRITE assist pulse, and a low voltage value (e.g., zero) is written to the memory cell through the second port (e.g., BL-B, BLc-B) during the clock cycle.
