Patent number: 10402553Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating a user, the method including receiving an image of a user of a device, identifying a first facial descriptor of the user from the received image and from previously captured images of the user, and determining a difference between the first facial descriptor from the received image and that from the previously captured images. The method further includes identifying a second facial descriptor of a non-user from the previously captured images of the user, and applying facial recognition to images stored in a plurality of second social networking profiles associated with a first social networking profile of the user to identify the second facial descriptor from the images stored in the second social networking profiles. Based on the difference and the second facial descriptor, the user may be authenticated.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2018Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Clayton Johnson, Lawrence Douglas, Yolanda Liu

Patent number: 10397238Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing electronic tokens for device interactions. In some embodiments, a unified graphical user interface is provided for an account, for controlling the activation status and settings associated with authorized electronic devices used for conducting transactions on the account. The electronic devices may be programmed with an electronic token that allows a server to look up sensitive account information, although the electronic token does not divulge the account information itself. Therefore, if an electronic token is compromised or stolen, the account does not need to be closed, and sensitive information remains safe. Moreover, the unified graphical user interface provides detailed and highly customizable controls for settings and restrictions associated with each of the electronic tokens, without modifying or accessing sensitive account or personal information.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2018Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Paul Moreton, Lawrence Douglas, Thomas Poole, Thomas Christopher Clarke, Saejin Choi

Publication number: 20190122221Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for authenticating mobile payments from a customer account to a merchant. The systems and methods may include a financial service provider receiving a request to authorize an electronic transaction at a point-of-sale. A financial service provider server computer may verify that the customer is present at the point-of-sale using received location data. An image having distorted text such as a captcha may be transmitted to a device at the point-of-sale, and the customer may read the captcha aloud. A voice sample of the customer may be sent to the financial service provider for comparison to stored voice recordings, to verify that the customer's voice sample is authentic if the voice matches a previously generated voice recording for the account. If the voice sample is authentic, the financial service provider may authorize the mobile payment.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2018Publication date: April 25, 2019Applicant: CAPITAL ONE SERVICES, LLCInventors: Lawrence Douglas, Paul Y.

Publication number: 20190080316Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems for providing payment token transactions by a mobile device. The mobile device may be operable to obtain a payment token, where the payment token is associated with one or more payment token parameters and the mobile device may be configured to communicate with a financial service provider system over a first network when connectivity to the first network is available to the mobile device. The mobile device may provide the payment token to a contactless payment terminal (CPT) associated with a merchant, during a purchase transaction involving a product provided by the merchant, where the mobile device may communicate the payment token to the CPT over a local network that is different from the first network such that connectivity between the mobile device and the first network is not required.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2018Publication date: March 14, 2019Applicant: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Lawrence DOUGLAS, Luke A.
