Publication number: 20230012269Abstract: Various examples describe interfacing at least one computing device to a plurality of human users. An interface system may receive goal data describing a shared goal shared by a plurality of users and transaction data describing a first transaction made by a first user of the plurality of users. The interface system may also receive, from a user computing device, audio data describing speech of the first user and of a second user. The interface system may extract a first word from the audio data and detect a conflict between at least two of the plurality of users based at least in part on the goal data, the transaction data, and the first word. The interface system may further determine a mediation routine for the conflict based at least in part on the goal data, the transaction data, and the first word, and execute the mediation routine.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2017Publication date: January 12, 2023Inventors: Michelle M.

Patent number: 11132425Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for authenticating a user based at least in part on a location of the user or a location of a user device are described. The user may be authenticated as part of a financial transaction or as part of a login process for a computing device. The user device was previously bound or associated with the user. During the authentication, a system (e.g., a financial institution computing system or a backend authentication system) requests location information from the user device. The location information may be packaged as a digital fingerprint of the user device, which can only be created from the user device. Based on the location information, the user can be authenticated thereby approving the transaction or login request.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2016Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Gerard K.
