  • Patent number: 9940615
    Abstract: A computer receives card transaction data in response to a transaction using a financial services card. The card transaction data identifies at least a location, date, and time associated with the transaction. Upon receiving the card transaction data, the computer compares the card transaction data with telematics information associated with a vehicle equipped with a telematics device. The telematics information identifies at least a location of the vehicle, and a time and date associated with the location of the vehicle. On the basis of the comparison, the computer determines if the location of the transaction substantially matches the location of the vehicle at the time and date of transaction. Responsive to determining a substantial match, the computer associates the financial services card with the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9576291
    Abstract: Determining a fuel card usage exception with the use of a computer that receives fuel card transaction data responsive to a fuel purchase event. The fuel card transaction data identifies a quantity of fuel purchased for a vehicle using a fuel card. In addition, the computer receives first fuel level data and second fuel level data of the vehicle that identifies a quantity of fuel present in a fuel tank of the vehicle prior to a fuel purchase event and after a fuel purchase event respectively. The computer can determine an exception associated with the fuel purchase event based on the fuel card transaction data, the first fuel level data, and the second fuel level data. Responsive to detecting an exception associated with the fuel purchase event, the computer may generate an alert and transmit the alert for presentation by a computing device of a user.

  • Publication number: 20140108155
    Abstract: A computer can receive diagnostics data and location data associated with a vehicle. The diagnostics data identifies a condition of the vehicle and the location data identifies a location of the vehicle. Further, the computer can receive promotional data that includes a plurality of promotions. Each promotion promotes a purchase transaction or offers products and/or services. Upon receiving the diagnostics data and the location data, the computer can determine if the condition of the vehicle satisfies a threshold condition. If the threshold condition is satisfied, the computer can select one or more promotions from the plurality of promotions based on the location of the vehicle and the condition of the vehicle. In addition, the computer can select the one or more promotions based on situational data. Further, the computer can transmit the selected one or more promotions for presentation to a driver or a user associated with the vehicle.
