Patents by Inventor Kenneth A. Kopf

Kenneth A. Kopf has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12293367
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tokenless authorization are provided. Obtaining an electronic representation of an initial biometric sampling of a registrant. Applying the initial electronic representation to a template data construct producing a unique digital identifier (UDI). Obtaining account information constructs corresponding to an account by the registrant with a third party. Generating a unique secure identification number (SIN) using the UDI and the account information constructs. Storing a unique link from the UDI to the account information constructs. Receiving a request for service and an electronic representation of a second biometric sampling. Forming the UDI by applying the second electronic representation to the template data construct. Verifying the UDI corresponds to the stored UDI to reconstruct the unique SIN from the UDI and using this unique SIN to retrieve the account information constructs using the indexed data structure. Transmitting the request and the unique SIN to the third party.

  • Patent number: 12291889
    Abstract: A device includes a left stand, a right stand, a first net and a second net. Each of the left and right stands includes a longitudinal pole and a lateral pole, with a lower end of the longitudinal pole connected to the lateral pole. The first net is connected to lower portions of the longitudinal poles of the left and right stands, and the second net is connected to the lateral poles of the left and right stands. When the device is in use, the first net has a lower section submerged in a body of water and an upper section above a surface of the body of water for sweeping debris in the body of water, while the second net is below the first net and has a front section before the first net for preventing debris from falling and allowing removal of debris from the body of water.

  • Publication number: 20250111367
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tokenless authorization are provided. Obtaining an electronic representation of an initial biometric sampling of a registrant. Applying the initial electronic representation to a first cryptographic function that produces a unique digital identifier (UDI). Obtaining account information constructs corresponding to an account by the registrant with a third party. Generating a unique secure identification number (SIN) using the UDI and the account information constructs. Storing a unique link from the UDI to the account information constructs. Receiving a request for service and an electronic representation of a second biometric sampling. Forming the UDI by applying the second electronic representation to the first cryptographic function. Verifying the UDI corresponds to the stored UDI to reconstruct the unique SIN from the UDI and using this unique SIN to retrieve the account information constructs through the indexed data structure.

  • Publication number: 20190139051
    Abstract: A system and method for authenticating and implementing secured transactions using biometrics: A registrant, registers his/her fingerprint within a single-point of entrance dual repository system and each registrant is assigned a separate secure identifying number which will be then be utilized by an end user to identify and associate the account. Biometrics are used authenticate the transaction which can be a financial or non-financial transaction.
