  • Publication number: 20230245114
    Abstract: An in-application content transfer system that generates receiver identifiers to categorize a given exchange between two users. A first mobile device displays a plurality of user interface controls that are each selectable by a first user. In response to selection of a first control, an application message is generated that includes a unique identifier associated with a second user of a second device, and a user content that is associated with the first user and that is identified at least in part based on the selection of the first control. The application message, which is configured to seed an application on the second device with the unique identifier, is transmitted to the second device via peer-to-peer communication. The user content associated with the first user is then shifted to the second device.

  • Patent number: 11625714
    Abstract: An in-application content transfer system that generates receiver identifiers to categorize a given exchange between two users. One user executes the application on their mobile device and makes use of peer-to-peer communication protocols with a neighboring mobile device, regardless of whether the neighboring device is executing the subject application. The content transfer is linked to a unique identifier of the neighboring device, which is retrieved via peer-to-peer communication.

  • Patent number: 11328294
    Abstract: An in-application content transfer system that generates receiver IDs to categorize a given exchange between two users where one does not execute a local instance of the application. One user executes the application on their mobile device and makes use of near-field communication protocols with a neighboring mobile device that is not executing the subject application. The content transfer is linked to the receiver's phone number and a unique ID is assigned to the content transfer. The receiving user is made aware of the content transfer via a push notification received via near field communication or via an SMS text message. The received message or notification enables the user to retrieve the content from the transfer at a later time.

  • Publication number: 20210174354
    Abstract: A mobile payment system and method enable anonymous and secure transfer of money between users. To anonymously transfer money, a first mobile device receives an input from a first user to transfer an amount of money to a second user. The first mobile device communicates directly with the second mobile device to send a unique tokenized transaction identifier to the second mobile device while preserving anonymity of the first user. Using the tokenized transaction identifier, the payment server is configured to cause the transfer of the indicated amount of money between a financial account associated with the first user and a financial account associated with the second user.
