  • Patent number: 11468443
    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.

  • Patent number: 11386996
    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: 20220198501
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented processes that assess initiated data exchanges in real-time based on structured messaging data. In some examples, an apparatus may receive a message associated with an exchange of data involving a first counterparty and a second counterparty and characterizing a real-time payment requested from the second counterparty by the first counterparty. The apparatus may determine a first identifier of the first counterparty based on elements of the message data disposed within corresponding message fields, and transmit notification data to a device operable by the second counterparty, which may present portions of the notification data within a digital interface. The apparatus may receive review data indicative of a review associated with the data exchange from the device, and store the first identifier and the review data in a data repository.

  • Publication number: 20220198445
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented apparatuses and processes that predict, in real-time modifications to parameters based on structured messaging data. For example, an apparatus obtains (i) first elements of decomposed message data that characterize real-time payments requested by a first counterparty and (ii) a second elements of decomposed message data that characterize real-time payments requested by one or more second counterparties associated with the first counterparty. The apparatus determines a first value of a parameter of a data exchange based on the first elements of decomposed message data, and determines a second value of the parameter based on the second elements of decomposed message data.

  • Publication number: 20220198543
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented systems and processes that provision targeted alternative product information based on structured messaging data. For example, an apparatus may receive a message that characterizes a real-time payment requested by a first counterparty from a second counterparty, and is associated with a first product provisioned to the second counterparty by the first counterparty. The apparatus may determine that a second product is available to the second counterparty based on the message. Further, the apparatus may transmit notification data to a device operable by the second counterparty. The notification data includes product data characterizing the second product, and causes an application program executed at the device to present at least a portion of the product data within a digital interface. The apparatus also receives a response to the notification data from the device and, based on the response, provisions the second product to the second counterparty.
