  • Patent number: 12261655
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12261832
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may allow for the generation of a message to be sent to an intended recipient of a request for a communication session prior the initiation of the communication session. The system may monitor applications and associated devices to determine the initiation of the communication session. Based on such a determination, the system may generate a message to be presented to a communication initiating user and to be sent to an intended recipient of the communication session. The system may determine data for the message based on an analysis of the data associated with the communication initiating user, and the system may apply a machine learning model to generate draft messages for the user. Messages may be generated to authenticate a user with an intended recipient of the communication session.

  • Publication number: 20250094993
    Abstract: Application-based point of sale systems in mobile operating systems. A first application may generate a first URL directed to a second application, a parameter of the first URL comprising an identifier of the first application. A mobile operating system (OS) may access the first URL to open the second application. The second application may receive, from a server, a virtual account number (VAN). The second application may initiate a server on a port and generate a second URL directed to the first application, a parameter of the second URL comprising the port. The OS may access the second URL to open the first application. The first application may establish a connection with the server using the specified port and receive the VAN from the second application via the connection. The first application may autofill the VAN to a form field of a payment form in the first application.

  • Patent number: 12256013
    Abstract: A system and method are described that enables mobile devices (e.g. including but not limited to a mobile phone or the like), to intercept and respond to contactless card authentication requests, allowing mobile devices to be used in place of contactless cards. Enabling mobile phone devices to emulate contactless cards decreases issues related to lost or damaged cards, enabling a single device to be used to provide tokens related to multiple different contactless cards, and leverages functionality of the mobile device to provide dual-factor authentication.

  • Publication number: 20250088529
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12243006
    Abstract: In some implementations, an autonomous vehicle may receive information associated with an order including multiple items. The autonomous vehicle may, after traveling to a first pickup location and obtaining a subset of the items in the order, identify one or more alternative pickup locations having respective inventories including one or more items that are unavailable at the first pickup location. The autonomous vehicle may generate one or more virtual credentials linked to a primary credential associated with a user that submitted the order and use the one or more virtual credentials to obtain, at each alternative pickup location, one or more items that were unavailable at the first pickup location. The autonomous vehicle may travel to a final destination to deliver the subset of the multiple items obtained from the first pickup location and the one or more items obtained from each of the one or more alternative pickup locations.
