Patent number: 12314944Abstract: A user can request provisioning of account information for an account to a plurality of resource providing entities. The account may be a new or existing account issued by an authorization computer. The authorization computer may prompt the user to select one or more resource providing entities to which to provision a token associated with the account. Processor server computer may then tokenize the account information associated with the account by determining a token for each resource providing entity selected by the user. In some cases, a token may be provisioned to an already existing account or profile (e.g., account on file) associated with a resource providing entity. In other cases, an account or profile associated with a resource providing entity may not yet exist and thus may be created before a token may be provisioned. Subsequently, the user may utilize provisioned tokens to conduct transactions.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2021Date of Patent: May 27, 2025Assignee: Visa International Service AssociationInventors: Mohammad Al-Bedaiwi, Meredith Altenhofen, Jason Blackhurst

Publication number: 20250097206Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method for reducing a computational burden of a blockchain provider. A data processing computer may facilitate an exchange of a data transfer message between respective applications of a first and second device. The data processing computer may maintain an electronic record according to the exchange. A net transfer value may be determined for the record and data comprising the net transfer value may be transmitted to a blockchain provider. Receipt of the data by the blockchain provider may cause the blockchain provider to update a ledger with the net transfer value.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2024Publication date: March 20, 2025Applicant: Visa International Service AssociationInventors: Meredith Altenhofen, Jason Blackhurst, Quan Wang

Patent number: 10666690Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods in which resource-related content is provided to a number of mobile devices. In some embodiments, as a content provider streams a media presentation or a live real-world event occurs, it may also provide an indication of a resource to a content distribution hub. Upon receiving that indication of the resource, the content distribution hub may identify and/or generate resource-related content relevant to the indicated resource. The resource-related content may then be distributed to a number of subscriber devices according to subscription data maintained by the content distribution hub. In some embodiments, the content hub is also configured to initiate transactions related to the resources.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2016Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Visa International Service AssociationInventors: Erik Friend, Jason Blackhurst, Quan Wang
