Patent number: 12261655Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to dynamically and temporarily adjusting power to an NFC reader of a computing device from a first power level to a second power level based on a feedback mechanism between a contactless card and the computing device. The contactless card may provide a message containing a checksum. The computing device may receive the message and calculate a checksum based on the received message. By comparing these two checksums, it may be determined whether the entire message has been correctly received. If not, the power to the NFC reader may be temporarily increased to allow better communication between the contactless card and the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2023Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Capital One Services, LLC.Inventors: Jeffrey Rule, Rajko Ilincic

Publication number: 20250088529Abstract: Methods and systems for preventing unauthorized resource access. In some aspects, the system obtains, in real time, a first data stream between a user requesting access to resources in a user account and an agent. The system processes, using a first machine learning model, the first data stream to generate a confidence score. If the confidence score exceeds a threshold, the system generates a sandbox context configured to simulate output indicative of successful resource access. The system obtains a second data stream for the sandbox context and processes it using a second machine learning model to determine whether the communication between the agent and the user was malicious. If the communication was not malicious, the system removes the user account from the sandbox context and effects grant of resource access. Otherwise, the system reports the agent and the user account for further processing for attempts to obtain unauthorized user access.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2023Publication date: March 13, 2025Applicant: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Lawrence DOUGLAS, Jeffrey RULE, Jackson MACOMBER
