  • Patent number: 11145295
    Abstract: Techniques for improving routing of natural language inputs, of a natural language processing (NLP) system, are described. A natural language input may be routed based on the device that captured the natural language input. A device manufacturer, hospitality provider, business, etc. may cause the NLP system to generate a skill component specific to the device manufacturer, hospitality provider, business, etc. Thereafter, when a natural language input is received from the device, the NLP system may route the natural language input to the device manufacturer-, hospitality provider-, business-, etc.-specific skill component for processing.

  • Patent number: 8740067
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for implementing secondary verification of user accounts through the use of near field communication devices. A first account code and first verification code are stored in a memory accessible to a computing device, wherein the first account code is associated with a payment instrument. A second account code is received in a charge request from a transaction client. A second verification code is further obtained from a client device. A determination is made as to whether to approve charging of an account based at least on whether the second verification code received in the computing device matches the first verification code.

  • Publication number: 20130228616
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for the creation of a payment card that is programmable by a user in order to access one or more accounts from multiple financial institutions and/or other institutions. The payment card includes an account selection application that facilitates selection of one of the transaction accounts associated with the payment card. A processor circuit then determines a code that corresponds with the respective one of the transaction accounts and facilitates the embodiment of the corresponding code to a dynamic magnetic strip located on the payment card.

  • Publication number: 20130232067
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating the creation of allocation rules for distributing charges to one or more accounts associated with a payment instrument. The charge distribution application accesses allocation rules that are used to determine a charge distribution allocation for linked accounts associated with a master account identified in a charge request. The charge distribution application specifies a percentage of the amount indicated in the charge request to charge to one or more of the linked accounts. The charge distribution application charges up to the total amount specified in the charge request to one or more of the accounts depending on the applicable charge distribution allocation.
