  • Patent number: 10922930
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for managing and/or operating a nodal grid network in which resources are received, dispensed, and transferred throughout the nodal grid network. The nodal network may comprise automated teller machines, merchant stores, delivery vehicles, processing centers, and the like. The system scans resource notes for important and sometimes unique information as the resource notes are received and/or dispensed at each of the nodes. This information about the resource notes and the nodes of the network can be recorded and stored in real-time, such that the system can make real-time decisions regarding how to address any necessary adjustments of resource quantities at each node. Furthermore, historical nodal data can be analyzed to identify trends at each node, and this historical data can be extrapolated to provide insight into an expected health of each node at future points in time.

  • Publication number: 20180336538
    Abstract: A system for processing tangible resources comprises a network communication interface and a memory device storing a resource deposit application. A processing device is operatively coupled to the memory device to execute computer-readable program code to: receive a request to process a tangible resource from a user; receive an image including identifiable information of the tangible resource; determine the validity of the request; and, upon determination that the request is valid, process the tangible resource without having physical custody of the tangible resource. The system also may include a user device including a network communication interface and a memory device storing a resource processing application. A processing device is operatively coupled to the memory device to execute computer-readable program code to: log into the tangible resource transfer processing system; transmit the request to process a tangible resource to a system; and transmit the image.

  • Publication number: 20180336536
    Abstract: A system for tracking tangible resource items as they are outputted and/or inputted at resource transfer events. In specific implementations the resource items are tracked while the resource transfer events is occurring, such that, the user can confirm the resource transfer event or otherwise be notified of other resource options prior to the completion of the resource transfer event. In addition the tracking of the input and output of the tangible resource items provides for a user's transfer event ledger to reflect use of tangible resource items at resource transfer events.

  • Publication number: 20180336555
    Abstract: A system for identifying unauthorized resource transfer events and/or unauthorized tangible resource items at resource transfer events. The unauthorized resource transfer events and/or tangible resource items may be identified while the resource transfer event is occurring (e.g., in real-time); thereby, allowing for the prevention of the completion of the event or other actions, such as deactivating the node, sequestering the resource items, and/or reconfiguring the security protocol.

  • Publication number: 20180336508
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for providing techniques, computer networks, and monitoring systems for managing and operating a nodal resource grid system in which resource notes are received, dispensed, and transferred throughout the nodal network. The nodal network may include or comprise automated teller machines, merchant stores, delivery vehicles, processing centers, and the like. The system scans resource notes for unique identifiers as they are received and/or dispensed at the nodes in real-time. These unique identifiers allow the system to track individual resource notes as they progress through the nodal network. The information about resource notes at each node can be recorded and stored in real-time, and information about the health of the network can be provided as visual representations to computing devices of a managing user.

  • Patent number: 8417604
    Abstract: A data storage archive is provided for storing personal information and other data from a variety of disparate information sources. The information stored may be later electronically accessed and retrieved by users without requiring the users to carry physical documentation having the information stored thereon. The information may be stored in association with a user's financial account at a financial institution. For example, the information may be indexed or stored in an account identified by the user's financial account number or other financial identifier. In some arrangements, accessing the personal information may include a validation process using a security device separate from a device through which a user is attempting to access the information. Personal information may also be shared among financial account holders based on legal and financial relationships known to the financial institution. A user may also manually assign access privileges to other users.

  • Publication number: 20120030112
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and using a cash value debit card are described. A request from a user to add value to a cash value debit card account financially secured by a financial entity against an account of the user may be received. The user may be authenticated to the account of the user with the financial entity. Monetary funds may be debited from the account of the user by an amount to add to the cash value debit card account, and the debited amount may be added to the cash value debit card account. A request to withdraw monetary funds from the cash value debit card account may be received. A determination may be made as to whether to authorize the withdrawal from the cash value debit card account. The withdrawal may be authorized, and the cash value debit card account may be debited accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20120030113
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and using negotiable instrument are described. A request from a user to generate a negotiable instrument financially secured by a financial entity against an account of the user is received, and the user is authenticated to the account of the user with the financial entity. Upon authenticating the user to the account, data representative of the negotiable instrument financially secured by the financial entity against the account of the user is transmitted. The data may include a printable image and barcode for scanning by a second computing device of the financial entity. The transmitted data representative of the negotiable instrument may be received by a computing device. The computing device may output the data representative of the negotiable instrument to a printer for local generation of the negotiable instrument on the printer without the need for special inks and/or other data.
