  • Publication number: 20240420151
    Abstract: A processor of a computing device may receive, from a contactless card, a uniform resource locator (URL) and a cryptogram. An operating system (OS) executing on the processor may open an application based on the URL. The application may transmit the cryptogram to an authentication server. The application may receive, based on the server verifying the cryptogram, an account number. The application may store the account number in a memory of the device.

  • Publication number: 20240421855
    Abstract: A network-enabled smart apparatus has a data processing systen, at least one operational system, wide area and local network communication interfaces, and a memory. The memory has stored therein apparatus identification information, at least one service application, and an activation application. The activation application causes the data processing system to establish an internet connection and create an NFC-enabled web page. The data processing system transmits, to the user device instructions to navigate to the NFC-enabled web page and instructions for the user to tap an NFC-enabled smart card to the user device. The apparatus data processing system reads, via the NFC-enabled web page, NFC information transmitted to the user device by the smart transaction card. The application causes the apparatus to transmit the NFC information to a service administration server, and receive, from the service administration server, a service activation command.

  • Publication number: 20240419827
    Abstract: A method and related system may analyze metadata associated with a first set of transactions to determine whether to perform a second set of transactions. The method and related system may include determining a data category based on first device-provided data of a first database transaction indicating a first record associated with a second record, and may further include obtaining, based on whether the data category satisfies a first set of criteria, an identifier and an amount based on image data using a prediction model. The method may further include querying a database based on the identifier to obtain an indication that the identifier is mapped to an object category, validating the amount based on a result indicating whether the object category satisfies a second set of criteria, and causing a second transaction that changes fields of the first and second records.

  • Publication number: 20240414173
    Abstract: Systems and methods for verified messaging through the interaction involving a short-range transceiver, such as a contactless card, a client device and a server are presented. Verified messaging may be provided in the context of using a client device to receive a user identifier from the user's short-range transceiver, such as a contactless card, and sending a messaging request with the user identifier to a server, which may look up client device information and compare with data about the client device accompanying the request. Matching received client device information to stored client device data based on a user identifier obtained from a short-range transceiver provides an enhanced ability to verify that the client device corresponds to the user associated with the short-range transceiver.

  • Patent number: 12160419
    Abstract: The exemplary embodiments described herein overcome problems encountered by conventional systems by providing an authenticated messaging environment in which a user can securely message with a programmatic intelligent agent. The user may be authenticated at the prompting of the programmatic intelligent agent, such as the beginning of a messaging session or when the user submits a request that requires access to sensitive or confidential information or requires access to a secure account. The prompt may take the form of a message sent from the programmatic intelligent agent. The message may contain a link for launching code, such as an application, that facilitates authentication of the user's identity. The user may activate the link to launch the code and then perform the steps requested by the code to perform the authentication.

  • Patent number: 12159285
    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.

  • Publication number: 20240397316
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may use a contactless card as a secondary form of authentication in a multi-factor authentication for a secure messaging service. The recipient party of a request to initiate a messaging service session (such as a server computing device) may be programmed to use the phone number of the originating device to look up records regarding an identity of a party and their associated phone number as a primary credential and then may require an authentication credential originating from the contactless card as a secondary credential for the initiating party. In some instances, the credential originating from the contactless card is a onetime password that is valid only for a period of time. The recipient party determines whether the onetime password is valid. If both credentials are valid, a secure messaging session may be initiated with the initiating party.

  • Patent number: 12154083
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed are directed to a computing system that performs steps for entity integration. The computing system receives, from a user device, an electronic request to associate a first online account of a user associated with a first entity with a second online account of the user associated with a second entity. The computing system authenticates the user device to verify that an identity of the user is authentic. The computing system determines whether the second online account exists and, if so, identifies a match between a first user property of the first online account and a second user property of the second online account. Based on the identified match, the computing system links the first online account with the second online account and updates, based on a first online account property of the first online account, a second online account property of the second online account.

  • Patent number: 12154096
    Abstract: A method creates a banking card that may be a wireless banking card. The banking card has an antenna with an open circuit that prevents the banking card from functioning correctly until it is received by a banking customer the card is to belong to. A cavity is formed within the banking card near the open circuit and a thin wall is created between the cavity and the open circuit. The cavity is filled with a flowable electrical conductor that may be a liquid metal such as mercury or galinstan. Instruction indications are provided on the banking card indicating to a banking customer how to manipulate the banking card to cause the liquid conductor to flow and remove the open circuit and allow the banking card to function correctly.

  • Publication number: 20240386488
    Abstract: In a method for changing a user's bank account information in merchant account databases a server receives a login request including a user identification and first user authentication information. The server further receives a request to change bank account information from a first bank account to a second bank account for merchant accounts of the user and network login information for the first bank account. The server accesses an account information database for the first bank account and downloads transaction information for merchant transactions involving the first bank account. The server identifies a set of merchant user accounts involved in the merchant transactions and receives account login information for a data site associated with a selected account. The server accesses the data site and changes a bank account identification stored therein from the first bank account to the second bank account.
