Patent number: 12198122Abstract: A system includes a user device and a computing system. The user device accesses a plurality of images captured by a camera and identifies, from the plurality of images, a particular image that depicts a portion of a user interaction object. The user device transmits the particular image across a wireless communications network. The computing system accesses the particular image depicting the portion of the user interaction object and determines a data item from the particular image. The computing system compares the data item to one or more accounts of the user and sends instructions to the user device to display an alert message on the electronic display based on the comparison of the data item to the one or more accounts.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2023Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventor: Kyle Mayers

Publication number: 20240331707Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for digital voice data processing and authentication. The present invention is configured to receive a user interaction comprising a digital audio signal and capture a first audio segment and a second audio segment of the digital audio signal. The first audio segment and the second audio segment are plotted into corresponding first and second plots. The first and second plots are compared, wherein comparing comprises subtracting the first plot from the second plot to form a difference plot. A quantity of outlier peaks is determined, then an artificial user probability is assigned to the user interaction, wherein the artificial user probability is low if the quantity of outlier peaks is greater than a predetermined outlier peak threshold. The artificial user probability is then displayed on a user interface of an endpoint device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2023Publication date: October 3, 2024Applicant: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: James J.

Publication number: 20240305666Abstract: Apparatus and methods for using deepfakes defensively to detect fake, spoofed, and hoax accounts and posts on social media and elsewhere are provided. A program may gather verified images or writings of a target individual. The program may analyze the verified images and writings to create a baseline. The program may use deepfake algorithms to create exemplar deepfake images or writings. The program may store the data in a database. The program may search a network for social media accounts or posts that may meet the baseline and determine whether they are legitimate or illegitimate by comparing the contents of the accounts or posts with the exemplar deepfakes. When the program determines the accounts or posts are illegitimate, the program may initiate a takedown of those accounts or posts. The program may use machine learning algorithms to refine itself and become more accurate.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2024Publication date: September 12, 2024Inventors: Kelly Renee-Drop Keiter, Michael Young, Kyle Mayers, Sanjay Lohar

Publication number: 20240221349Abstract: Detecting targeted images, as well as variations thereof within computing networks, such as the Internet and the Metaverse. Navigation to predetermined websites and accessing the HTML code to search for image file extensions and, in some instances video file extensions within the listing of URLs. In response to finding URLs with image or video file extensions, the hyperlink is activated to navigate to the webpage containing the associated image or video and the image or video is downloaded for purposes of target image detection analysis. A virtual surveillance drone is deployed within virtual reality computing systems to navigate the entirety of the environment to search for images or, in some instances videos that may be displayed and, more specifically, images that appear to match or resemble the targeted image. The drone is capable of capturing the images and communicating the images to non-virtual computing systems for purposes of target image detection analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2023Publication date: July 4, 2024Applicant: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Sanjay Arjun Lohar, Kyle Mayers, Karen Stanek McFeeters, Elias J.
