  • Patent number: 9519934
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and associated method for restricting access to a customer's online banking account. The system typically includes a processor, a memory, and an online banking module stored in the memory. The module is typically configured for determining that a computing device has initiated a first online banking transaction associated with the customer's online banking account. If the first online banking transaction is within a first restricted transaction definition and if the computing device is not enrolled with the customer's online banking account, geographic location information associated with the computing device and geographic location information associated with a first mobile device enrolled with the customer's account are received. The module determines whether the location of the computing device is proximate to a predefined location and/or whether the location of the computing device is proximate to the location of the first mobile device.

  • Patent number: 9519924
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for using video analysis, such as augmented reality or the like to assist a group of users to utilize mobile devices for creating a collective network environment of users that identifies objects in which one or more users in a group of users may be interested, and notifies the one or more users of information associated with the object. A collective network comprises a group of users that each have a mobile device that contains or is otherwise operatively coupled to a data capture device. For example, the mobile device may be a mobile phone that is capable of taking video with a camera device. A user in the collective network may capture video on his mobile device, and an application can identify the object in the video and provide interested users in the collective network with information about the object.

  • Patent number: 9514456
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for providing a customer with a single transaction card that is tied to the customer's available payment vehicles. As such, the single transaction card may be utilized by the customer to complete a transaction with a merchant. Subsequently, based on customer rules or customer selection, the invention may direct the transaction to the selected payment vehicle. Rules include any preferences that a customer may input that allows the invention to automatically apply a single transaction card transaction to a payment vehicle. As such, rules may be trigged for a specific merchant, a specific transaction amount, a specific location, and/or the like. If a rule is triggered by a transaction made with the single transaction card, the triggered transaction will be automatically applied to the payment vehicle tied to that rule.
