  • Patent number: 10296972
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems for providing account status notifications. The disclosed embodiments include, for example, a device for providing account status notifications including a memory storing software instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the software instructions to perform operations. In one aspect, the operations may include receiving account status notification information for a first account associated with a user. The account status notification information may be generated based on one or more notification rules and account information associated with the first account. The operations may also include generating, based on the received account status notification information, a first account status indicator that provides a status of a first account parameter associated with the first account that is presented via a device component without a user request to receive the status of the first account parameter.

  • Publication number: 20190114703
    Abstract: A method and system for recommending a physical location at which to complete an electronic activity are disclosed. In some examples, initiation of the electronic activity by a user at a first physical location is detected, that the electronic activity is to be completed at a physical location different from the first physical location is determined, one or more portions of the electronic activity that remain incomplete are determined, a second physical location at which to complete the one or more incomplete portions of the electronic activity is identified, and information about the electronic activity is provided to the second physical location. In some examples, the identification of the second physical location is based on at least characteristics of the electronic activity, the user, and/or the second physical location.

  • Patent number: 10176461
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems for providing a notification relating to a geographical boundary based on monitored sensor data collected by networked devices. The disclosed embodiments include, for example, a method that monitors positional sensor data received from one or more triggering devices. The method may calculate a first boundary extent delimiting the geographical area of the first boundary based on one or more boundary extent parameters. The method may also detect an occurrence of a triggering condition that impacts a movement of at least one of a client device or at least one of the triggering devices within a geographic region that includes the first location. In response to the detected triggering event, at least one of modified start time or a second location may be established for the event, which may be provided to the client and triggering devices in a notification.

  • Publication number: 20170364895
    Abstract: A payment processing method involves a server receiving a payee identifier, and linking the payee identifier to a device identifier identifying a payee device. The server receives from a payor device a payment initiation request identifying a specified payment amount and a payor identifier, links a unique token to the specified payment amount and to the payor identifier, and provides the payor device with the token. The token excludes the payor identifier and particulars of the associated payor. The server receives a payment completion request including the payee identifier and the token, and excluding the payment amount, the payor identifier and payor particulars. The server uses the payee identifier to confirm that the payment completion request was signed with the device identifier, uses the payee identifier to locate a payee account, and uses the token to determine the specified payment amount and a payor account associated with the payor identifier.
