  • Patent number: 12236771
    Abstract: A computer vision card reader and/or point of sale device is described. The device is configured to sense when a user inserts a card into a card reader and to determine when a user departs or is about to depart from the device without retrieving the card. The device may issue an audible or visible alert to the user, reminding the user to retrieve the card. The device may additionally send a notification to a mobile device associated with the user that reminds the user that he has left a card at the point of sale. In some embodiments, message sent to the user contains a code and, upon entry of the code, the point of sale or card reader device returns the card to the user.

  • Publication number: 20250045863
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12212716
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12211030
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12212676
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12205050
    Abstract: In some implementations, a regression prediction platform may obtain one or more feature sets related to an impending code change, wherein the one or more feature sets may include one or more features related to historical code quality for a developer associated with the impending code change or a quality of a development session associated with the impending code change. The regression prediction platform may provide the one or more feature sets to a machine learning model trained to predict a risk associated with deploying the impending code change based on a probability that deploying the impending code change will cause breakage after deployment and/or a probability that the impending code change will cause support issues after deployment. The regression prediction platform may generate one or more recommended actions related to the impending code change based on the risk associated with deploying the impending code change.

  • Patent number: 12205573
    Abstract: A user assistance device aids validation of transactions on payment terminals. A payment terminal that accepts a payment card at a point of sale can be detected. A transaction amount for validation can be determined from the payment terminal. Subsequently, audio of the transaction amount can be generated. Playing of the audio on a user assistance device can then be triggered, allowing a user to hear the transaction amount before accepting or rejecting the transaction. Further, transaction information can be analyzed and used to suggest whether a customer should accept or reject the transaction.

  • Patent number: 12199530
    Abstract: A disposal assembly includes a motor coupled to operate a grinding mechanism of a food waste disposer. A first switch is coupled to selectively inhibit the supply of power from a power source to a main winding of the motor, and a second switch is coupled to selectively inhibit the supply of power from the power source to a start winding of the motor. A control circuit is configured to close the first and second switches during an initial startup time period, detect a voltage of at least one of the windings, and open the second switch in response to detection of the voltage above a start voltage threshold value. The control circuit is also configured to subsequent to opening the second switch, close the second switch in response to detection of the voltage below a low voltage threshold value indicative of an excess load condition of the motor.
