  • Publication number: 20220198427
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented apparatuses and processes that provision, in real-time, targeted recommendations based on decomposed structured messaging data. For example, an apparatus receives a message that includes elements of message data disposed within corresponding message fields. The message data may characterizes a real-time payment requested by a first counterparty from a second counterparty and associated with a first product provisioned to the second counterparty by the first counterparty. Based on elements of message data, the apparatus determines a value of a parameter that characterizes at least one of the second counterparty or a relationship between the second counterparty and the first counterparty, and transmits digital content associated with the parameter value to a device operable by the second counterparty, which presents a portion of the digital content within a digital interface.

  • Publication number: 20220198730
    Abstract: A computer system detects an object in a field-of-view (FOV) using at least one sensor coupled to the computer system and determines a shape of the object using a processor of the computer system. An overlay element having the shape and a changeable characteristic is created and a series of values of a parameter over a period of time is obtained. Multiple representations of the overlay element are rendered with the changeable characteristic changed based on the series of values of the parameter and serially presented on a display of the computer system to at least partially occlude the object.

  • Publication number: 20220198433
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented systems and processes that perform reconciliation processing in real-time based on structured messaging data. For example, an apparatus may receive elements of decomposed message data that include a first parameter value of a data exchange involving first and second counterparties, and that characterize a real-time payment requested from the second counterparty by the first counterparty. The apparatus may transmit a notification to a first device operable by the second counterparty and receive a response to the notification from the first device that includes a second parameter value of the data exchange. Based on at least the first and second parameter values, the apparatus may perform operations that reconcile the response with the elements of decomposed message data, and transmitting data indicative of an outcome of the reconciliation to a second device operable by the first counterparty for presentation within a digital interface.

  • Publication number: 20220198432
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented systems and processes that provision targeted behavioral data based on structured messaging data. For example, an apparatus may obtain elements of decomposed message data that characterize real-time payments associated with a counterparty during a first temporal interval. Based on the elements of decomposed message data, the apparatus may determine a value of a plurality of parameters that characterize the counterparty during the first temporal interval. Further, and based on the elements of decomposed message data and on the parameter values, the apparatus may generate output data indicative of a likelihood of an occurrence of an event during the first temporal interval or a second temporal interval. The apparatus may also transmit notification data to a device operable by the counterparty. The notification data may cause an application program executed at the device to present the portion of the output data within a digital interface.

  • Publication number: 20220198417
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented systems and processes that generate and provision, in real time, targeted product data based on structured messaging data. For example, an apparatus receives message associated with an exchange of data involving a first counterparty and a second counterparty. The message may include elements of message data disposed within corresponding message fields, and characterizing a real-time payment requested from the second counterparty by the first counterparty. The apparatus may determine that a product is available to the second counterparty based on one or more of the elements of the message data, and may transmit notification data to a device operable by the second counterparty. The notification data comprising product data characterizing the product, and the first notification data causing an application program executed at the device to present at least a portion of the product data within a digital interface.

  • Patent number: 11355234
    Abstract: A method of pairing a therapeutic product delivery device to a handset is described. The handset is restricted to controlling only delivery devices which it is paired with. The method comprises the steps of: at the delivery device, setting, in response to the delivery device being connected to a charging device, a pairing indicator indicating that the delivery device is available for pairing, and broadcasting the pairing indicator using a radio transceiver; at the handset, discovering the delivery device based on the broadcast pairing indicator; and pairing the discovered delivery device and the handset together. By limiting the handset to pairing with devices which are broadcasting a pairing indicator, and by limiting the setting and/or broadcast of the pairing indicator to when the delivery device is connected to a charging device, the risk of accidentally pairing the wrong delivery device (for example someone else's) to the handset is greatly reduced.

  • Publication number: 20220044238
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented processes that determine, in real time, counterparty geolocation location based on structured messaging data, such as messaging data maintained within message fields of a request-for-payment (RFP) message compliant with the ISO 20022. For example, an apparatus may receive a RFP message that includes message data associated with a transaction involving first and second counterparties, and the RFP message may characterize a real-time payment requested from the second counterparty by the first counterparty. The apparatus may determine a geographic position of the first counterparty based the message data, and based on the first geographic position, transmit notification data to a device operable by the second counterparty. The notification data may cause the device to present digital content associated with at least one of the transaction, the first counterparty, or the second counterparty within a digital interface.
