  • Patent number: 10122822
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10122813
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that allow a proprietor of a location or merchant to which a user is interacting through a third party to send a push notification to a user device associated with the user using the third party as a proxy. The provided systems and methods may assign an interaction identifier to the user and interaction when an interaction request is received by the third party that may be later used to identify the user and user device to which a notification received from the proprietor or merchant will be pushed. The user may be able to define rules and settings that limit the scope and timing of the push notifications that can be received, and the third party may determine if notifications received from the proprietor or merchant meet these rules and settings before pushing the notifications to the user device and user.

  • Publication number: 20180276935
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are included for simulating I/O. An exemplary method includes simulating I/O from a card that includes a magnetic stripe. The method includes receiving, at a first controller, a first token from a first terminal. The first token is communicated from the first controller to at least one backend computing device. The first controller receives, from the at least one backend computing device, a second token generated at the at least one backend computing device. The first controller injects the second token into a second controller. The second controller communicates the second token to the at least one backend system.

  • Publication number: 20180199195
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed which may allow a user having a mobile device to automatically authenticate to a server using a device identifier associated with the mobile device. An access point may be configured to send the device identifier as well as additional identifying information to the server so that the device identifier can be accurately matched to the mobile device. Then, when the mobile device submits a credential during authentication, the device identifier and the credential may be matched such that the next time the server receives the device identifier from the access point, the mobile device may be automatically authenticated.

  • Publication number: 20180162530
    Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capture devices and methods of operation are disclosed. A UAV capture device may include a netting system including a net launch device and a net, a propulsion system including a plurality of propellers coupled to one or more motors, a positioning system, a camera system, and a processing system coupled to the netting system, the propulsion system, the positioning system, and the camera system. The processing system may include logic to operate the propulsion system to autonomously navigate to a general location of a target UAV, to operate the propulsion system to pursue the target UAV, to deploy the netting system to propel the net at the target UAV, and to confirm if the target UAV is captured in the net. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

  • Publication number: 20180005239
    Abstract: A mobile device is provided that allows a user to generate and present a unique code/token to a service provider for customer identity validation. The service provider may use the unique code/token to retrieve or verify identity information/documents from a central depository to validate the identity of the customer to meet a Know-Your-Customer (KYC), or other identification requirements. The central depository or a central database may facilitate customer identity validation from multiple participants. Information related to proofs of customer identity may be collected and aggregated from multiple verification points and may be used to provide customer identity validation. As such, customers do not have to provide the same proofs of identity again when registering with a new service provider.
