Publication number: 20210374737Abstract: A system, a medium, and a method are provided to split data paths among various devices in data communications system. In some instances, the server device receives a request from a remote device such as a website server or a checkout device, where the request indicates a user request to purchase one or more items. An account management component of the server device determines a user account associated with the user request and identifies a user device associated with the user account, such as the user's smartphone. An authentication component of the server device generates an electronic message that indicates that the user must authenticate the request such that the request may be processed and initiates a transmittal of the electronic message to the user's smartphone. The user may accept or authenticate the request to process the request.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventor: Max Edward Metral

Patent number: 11153410Abstract: Various systems, mediums, and methods herein describe aspects of data exchange schemas accessible with client devices over communication networks in data infrastructures. A data exchange system may build one or more data exchange schemas for a user. The system may also determine a location of a client device of the user associated with one or more entities. Based on the location of the client device, the system may identify a data exchange schema of the user for transferring data to the one or more entities. The system may determine an access for the one or more entities to a portion of data from the data exchange schema of the user. The system may also transmit a notification to the client device that indicates the access of the one or more entities to the portion of data from the data exchange schema.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2018Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventor: Max Edward Metral
