Patent number: 11900361Abstract: Embodiments are directed to issuing tokens for identifiers associated with a resource provider account specific to the resource provider issuing the account. A resource provider processor system interfaces with a resource provider computer to validate account eligibility upon receiving a token request message. If the account is eligible for token generation, the resource provider processor system generates a universal identifier corresponding to the identifier associated with the resource provider account and returns the universal identifier to the token requestor. The token requestor may send a token request message to a token issuer for obtaining a token using the universal identifier. Accordingly, the universal account identifier can be used to provision a token into a digital wallet. Transactions using the token may be processed with the resource provider processor system acting as an account issuer.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Visa International Service AssociationInventors: Mary Taylor, Laura A. Long, Michael Mori, Rajat Das

Publication number: 20220245516Abstract: Provided are methods for multi-task learning (MTL) in deep neural networks. An exemplary method may include receiving an MTL model; receiving a testing data set comprising testing data items for the MTL model, each testing data item comprising a plurality of elements, each element associated with a respective feature; grouping the features into a plurality of groups based on an impact of each feature on the tasks of the MTL model, determining an overall accuracy score and task-specific accuracy scores based on inputting the testing data to the MTL model; applying feature reduction evaluation (FRE) to provide a feature score for each feature; and adjusting the feature scores based on a respective grouping associated with the respective feature and at least one of the overall accuracy score, the task-specific accuracy scores, or any combination thereof to provide an adjusted feature score. Systems and computer program products are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Inventors: Xi Kan, Sheng Wang, Yiwei Cai, Pei Yang, Gourab Basu, Michael Mori, Rajat Das

Patent number: 11271934Abstract: Systems and methods are described that allow users to continue utilizing their user accounts and user devices associated with a first authorization entity for transactions conducting with a second authorization entity. A processor server computer may translate a first data set including first account identifier and a first verification value associated with a first authorization entity during authorization processing into a second data set including a second account identifier and a second verification value that can be processed by a second authorization entity. The processor server computer may modify an authorization request message based on the translated data set. The processor server computer may also enable the authorization request message to be routed to an appropriate authorization entity during authorization processing.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2020Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Visa International Service AssociationInventors: Michael Mori, Gourab Basu, Rajat Das

Patent number: 11157943Abstract: In one aspect, an account identifier is associated with a deal purchased by a user from a deal site. The deal has a face value applicable to a transaction with a predetermined merchant, if the transaction satisfies one or more predetermined criteria. The user pays the deal site an amount smaller than the face value. When the account identifier is used at a transaction terminal to initiate a payment transaction, a transaction handler determines whether the payment transaction satisfies the one or more predetermined criteria; and if so, the transaction handler provides the transaction terminal with an authorization response identifying the remaining balance, which is determined by deducting the face value from the payment transaction. The account identifier may be a one-time account number generated specifically for the deal purchased by the user, or an account number of the user used to purchase the deal from the deal site.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Visa International Service AssociationInventors: Gourab Basu, Ross Sakata, Michael Mori

Patent number: 11023886Abstract: The UNIVERSAL ELECTRONIC PAYMENT APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“UEP”) transform touchscreen inputs into a virtual wallet mobile application interface via UEP components into purchase transaction triggers and receipt notices. In one implementation the UEP provides, via a user device, a product information search request; and obtains, in response to the product information search request, information on a first product for sale by a first merchant and a second product for sale by a second merchant. The UEP generates a single purchase transaction request, using the information on the first product for sale by the first merchant and the second product for sale by the second merchant. The UEP provides, via the user device, the single purchase transaction request for payment processing. Also, the UEP obtains an electronic purchase receipt for the first product for sale by the first merchant and the second product for sale by the second merchant.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: VISA INTERNATIONAL SERVICE ASSOCIATIONInventors: Edward Katzin, Julian Hua, Gregory Kenneth Storey, Michael Mori, Abhinav Shrivastava, Amit Bhargava, Andrew Beck, Ayman Hammad, Ben Pfisterer, Diane Salmon, Igor Karpenko, Jennifer Schulz, Miroslav Gavrilov, Peter Ciurea, Patrick Faith, Phillip Kumnick, Saurav Chatterjee, Sebastian Badea, Shaw Li, Shipra Jha, Stacy Pourfallah, Susan French, Tenni Theurer, Theodore Harris, Thomas Purves, Vanita Pandey, Victoria Graham, Prakash Hariramani
