  • Patent number: 12333533
    Abstract: A computer may generate a temporary digital wallet containing one or more anonymous payment tokens and transmit the temporary digital wallet to a user device of a user. When the user provides an anonymous payment token of the one or more anonymous payment tokens to a point of sale (POS) system, the computer may receive from the POS system or other systems connected thereto, a request to authorize payment for the anonymous payment token. The request to authorize payment may also include an amount to be paid by the user to the POS system. Using the anonymous payment token, the computer may retrieve a user account and determine that the user account has sufficient funds for the transaction. Based upon the determination that the user account has sufficient funds, the computer may transmit an authorization confirmation back to the POS system or any other system that the authorization request originated from.

  • Patent number: 12334047
    Abstract: Systems and methods that can automatically and intelligently edit audio signals to correct issues with voices and background noise. Such features may be especially useful as more people decide to work remotely. With remote work, some employees may be multi-tasking, for example by dropping off and picking up their kids while in meetings. Background noise reduction is essential for these remote workers. Using the exemplary systems and methods, remote workers could participate in live calls and/or create recordings while going about their daily chores. In particular, these remote workers would not need to wait until they are back home or in a quieter environment for participating in calls and/or making recordings.
