Patent number: 12250188Abstract: In some implementations, a device of a user may receive user input indicative of a selection of an application implemented by the device. The user input may be received via a graphical user interface presented by the device. The user input may be received while the application is in an unlaunched state in which the user is unauthenticated for use of the application. The device may obtain, while the application is in the unlaunched state, one or more messages of the application. The device may cause, while the application is in the unlaunched state, information indicative of at least one message, of the one or more messages, to be displayed in the graphical user interface.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2023Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Kathryn Tikoian, Joshua Edwards, Tyler Maiman

Patent number: 12243184Abstract: In a video capture system, a virtual lens is simulated when applying a crop or zoom effect to an input video. An input video frame is received from the input video that has a first field of view and an input lens distortion. A selection of a sub-frame representing a portion of the input video frame is obtained that has a second field of view smaller than the first field of view. The sub-frame is processed to remap the input lens distortion to a desired lens distortion in the sub-frame. The processed sub-frame is output.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: David A.

Patent number: 12242576Abstract: Aspects described herein may relate to techniques for detecting login activity to a financial account during a knowledge-based authentication process. The login activity may be related to access to an online interface for the financial account. The detection of login activity during the authentication process my indicate that the integrity of the authentication process is compromised as login access may provide an individual with transaction data that may be used to answer transaction-based authentication questions. As a result of detecting login activity, an alternative authentication process may be initiated or an authentication request related to the financial account may be denied.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2024Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Joshua Edwards, Samuel Rapowitz, Jenny Melendez, David Septimus, Daniel Miller, Viraj Chaudhary, Tyler Maiman, Vyjayanthi Vadrevu

Patent number: 12242800Abstract: A device attempts to access a resource that requires a multi-factor authentication (MFA), and receives, from an MFA server device, a challenge form. The device performs natural language processing on the challenge form to determine a first location of an input for a security code and a second location of a verify button. The device provides, to an email server device, a request to access emails associated with a user of the device, and receives access to multiple emails associated with the user. The device processes the multiple emails to identify an MFA email in the multiple emails, and identifies a security code in the MFA email. The device provides the security code at the first location, and selects the verify button at the second location. The device provides the security code to the MFA server device, and receives information indicating whether the device is authenticated.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Vu Nguyen, Abdelkadar M'Hamed Benkreira, David Gabriele, Jonatan Yucra Rodriguez, Joshua Edwards, Adam Vukich

Publication number: 20250069081Abstract: In certain embodiments, image-feature malicious-activity detection and access prevention may be facilitated, where an activity notification associated with a transaction triggers feature detection for at least one image related to a different transaction. In some embodiments, a first image (received in connection with a first transaction) may be associated with the first transaction, and a second image (received in connection with a second transaction) may be associated with a second transaction. In response to a malicious activity notification associated with the first transaction, an identifying characteristic (e.g., a facial feature) detected in the first image may be used to determine whether to prevent access to an account related to the second transaction. As an example, in response to determining that the identifying characteristic is present in the second image, access to the account related to the second transaction may be prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2024Publication date: February 27, 2025Applicant: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Joshua Edwards, Michael Mossoba, Abdelkader Benkreira

Patent number: 12212716Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a method for authenticating calls for a call center where the user can authenticate before or after starting a call to a call center using an application on a user device. The system determines what level of authentication is necessary depending on the task the user wants to accomplish during the call. The system may direct the user to provide credentials, such as a username and password, for some tasks. Other tasks may require the user to verify their financial card by taking a photo of their financial card or tapping their financial card to their device and allow the device to interact with the financial card using NFC technology. Once appropriately authenticated, the system then allows the user to make a call to the call center and also sends a signal to the call center that the user has been previously authenticated.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2022Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: CAPITAL ONE SERVICES, LLCInventors: Jenny Melendez, Samuel Rapowitz, Daniel E.

Patent number: 12211030Abstract: A device may receive an authorization request, associated with a transaction made by a user device as part of a checkout procedure of a website, that includes a virtual transaction card identifier of a virtual transaction card that is being used for the transaction, and a first merchant identifier for a merchant associated with the website. The device may perform a first authorization procedure to determine whether the first merchant identifier, included in the authorization request, satisfies a threshold level of similarity with a second merchant identifier associated with a request to generate the virtual transaction card that occurred prior to receiving the authorization request. The device may determine whether to forego a second authorization procedure based on a result of the first authorization procedure, and cause an authorization response, that includes an indication of whether the transaction is approved, to be provided to another device associated with the merchant.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2023Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Abdelkadar M'Hamed Benkreira, Joshua Edwards, Adam Vukich

Patent number: 12212676Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for novel uses and/or improvements to sharing cryptographic tokens based on user's real-world actions through social media so those real-world actions may be confirmed as authentic (e.g., verified and/or validated). More specifically, methods and systems disclosed herein enable sharing validated user activity by generating and using cryptographic tokens. The system may ensure that the cryptographic tokens verify the user's activity. The system may extract token data of a cryptographic token to post to a social media platform for activity verification. Thus, by using cryptographic tokens of the user's activity data, the system is able to verify the user's activity.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2022Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Michael Mossoba, Tyler Maiman, Joshua Edwards
