Patent number: 11917510Abstract: One or more Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) beacons in communication with a remote server that provides check in capabilities and payment capabilities may be installed at a location. The BLE beacons may connect with a user's mobile device when the user enters the location and allow the user to check in to the location and authorize payments to be made at the location. Once the user is checked in to the location, the user may be provided with additional functionality, benefits, offers, and applications related to the location and facilitated by the check in. Further, the user may be pre-checked in into a next location when the user is at a current location.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Kent Griffin, John Hastings Granbery, Hill Ferguson, David Marcus, Michael Charles Todasco

Patent number: 11328820Abstract: Systems and methods for medical intervention using machine learning techniques are provided. One or more embodiments include receiving data associated with a medical condition from a user. Based on the user, a patient profile is retrieved from a database. An intervention is determined for the medical condition based on a patient history provided as an input to a machine learning model that recommends interventions. The intervention is sent to a user device associated with the user. Changes are monitored in one or more health metrics associated with the user. The machine learning models are re-trained based on the monitored changes and the intervention.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: DOCTOR ON DEMAND, INC.Inventors: Kent Griffin, Alejandro Novoa, Andrew Chang, Travis Swientek, Greg Corey, Todd Kusterer

Patent number: 11240231Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for client and/or server authentication are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes sending information from a mobile network device to a server, wherein the information comprises a seed that is used by both the mobile network device and the server to compute a series of one time passwords. The method also includes receiving, by the mobile network device, a succession of one time passwords generated by the server throughout a session. And the method further includes comparing the received one time passwords generated by the server throughout the session to corresponding one time passwords generated at the mobile network device. In this manner, the server can be authenticated. In various embodiments, the process may be reversed to facilitate client, e.g., mobile network device, authentication.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Upendra Mardikar, Kent Griffin, Allison Elizabeth Miller, Amol Patel

Publication number: 20200286159Abstract: An embodiment includes a system comprising an initialization module and a platform module. The initialization module provides an initialization interface to a merchant that receives an indication from the merchant to initialize creation of a storefront application. The platform module receives a selection of mobile phone device operating systems; accesses stored templates from a template database, and maps elements in the stored templates to portions of source code to generate sets of operating system-specific source code. The stored templates correspond to the selected mobile phone device operating systems. The stored templates include source code used to implement portions of the storefront application on a mobile phone device operating system. When compiled, the sets of operating system-specific source code become versions of the storefront application executable by a respective one of mobile phone device operating systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2020Publication date: September 10, 2020Inventor: Kent Griffin

Patent number: 10395238Abstract: A two step method for transferring money from a sender to a recipient includes entering information relating to the transfer into a near field communication (NFC) enabled device of the sender. The device is then placed in contact with or close proximity to a recipient's device a first time, causing the sender's device to establish an NFC link between the two devices and to gather information relating to the recipient via the NFC link. The sender's device is then placed in contact with or close proximity to the recipient's device a second time, causing it to transmit the information relating to the transfer and the recipient to a third party service provider via another network, e.g., the Internet, thereby causing the service provider to transfer the money from an account of the sender to an account of the recipient.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2017Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Kent Griffin, Carl B.

Patent number: 10152705Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for secure device binding that provides user convenience through avoiding repetitive logging in when changing apps or moving from website to website. A mobile device undergoes binding to an account so that customers do not always have to enter their password when going through a financial transaction process, on a known (e.g., registered) mobile device. A device may be bound during an initial login, and once logged in, the user can select an option to be “remembered” so that the user need not re-login on the same device for future visits with an app or to a website that shares the service provider library.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2015Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Kent Griffin, Mingzhe Zhu, Aruna Susarla, Anshu Gupta
