  • Patent number: 11010655
    Abstract: This disclosure describes computer-based techniques for controlling access to shipping information for packages by providing limited shipping information to a courier to advance the package to a next node along a transit route. An administrator computer generates a set of components for a transit state of and information about the package. The set of components represents constituent “tokenized” portions of a delivery address, such as a sender or recipient name, street number, street name, city, or zip code. The transit states of the package represent various transit functions of the courier, such as pick-up, correct handling, sorting, delivery, return, and exception. The administrator computer generates sets of components that enable the courier to advance the package to a next node, but that exclude shipping information that may not be useful for advancing the package. The administrator computer sends the set of components to the courier based on the current transit state of the package.

  • Patent number: 10922433
    Abstract: Systems and methods for interrupting disclosure of sensitive information are described. Sensitive information data associated with a user is maintained. A primary device detects commencement of a voice input to a secondary device. As the voice input is detected by the primary device, the voice input is analyzed to determine the content of the voice input. The content is compared to the sensitive information data to determine whether the voice input contains sensitive information. When the primary device determines the voice input contains sensitive information, a speaker of the primary device is controlled to generate a noise canceling signal which interrupts receipt of further sensitive information by the secondary device.
