  • Publication number: 20230342735
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a carbon neutral blockchain protocol for resolving carbon offsetter payments for cryptocurrency transactions. A service provider, such as an online transaction processor, may provide a green wallet and network protocol that provides carbon offsetting fees and payments to carbon offsetters in order to account for carbon emissions and usage when processing cryptocurrency transactions on a blockchain network protocol. A green wallet may be provided, which allows registration of carbon offsetters and use of green addresses to cause cryptocurrency to be processed in a green transaction. A user's digital wallet may sign an initial cryptocurrency transaction and provide the fee to the green wallet. The green wallet may then resolve the cryptocurrency transaction by further signing the transaction and transmitting the fee to a digital wallet of the carbon offsetter over another cryptocurrency processing network.

  • Publication number: 20230325530
    Abstract: Various systems, mediums, and methods herein describe aspects of personal information platforms accessible with client devices over communication networks in data infrastructures. A system may determine data associated with a user. The system may determine a personal information platform (PIP) based on the data associated with the user, where the PIP is configured to identify a number of data types from the data associated with the user. The system may determine accesses for one or more entities to the number of data types based on one or more services provided by the one or more entities to the user. The system may cause a client device to display an indication of the PIP, where the indication provides the one or more accesses of the one or more entities.

  • Patent number: 11778027
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for the sharing and transferring of user data in online network systems operating in multiple jurisdictions. The different jurisdictions may be, for example, different geo-partitions in an online network system. Various techniques are disclosed for providing cross-partition operational functionalities (e.g., cross-geo transactions) between geo-partitioned server systems through the sharing and transferring of data between the geo-partitions. The geo-partitions may have established permissions for data that can be shared between the geo-partitions. A server system in one geo-partition may generate an auxiliary account from a subset of data shared across the geo-partitions that complies with the data permissions. Complying with the established data permissions may inhibit overlapping between the different laws or regulations of the geo-partitions.

  • Patent number: 11734658
    Abstract: A method for facilitating transactions by tenants in a multi-tenant architecture system is discussed. The method includes generating, with a multi-tenant computer system, a first representation of an entity in a first hierarchical data structure associated with an entity interface tenant of the multi-tenant computer system. The method includes receiving, with the multi-tenant computer system, a set of entity-specific policies useable to generate requests to individual ones of a plurality of transaction processing computer systems. The method includes generating, with the multi-tenant computer system, a second representation of the entity in a second hierarchical data structure associated with a particular transaction processing service tenant of a plurality of transaction processing service tenants of the multi-tenant computer system.

  • Patent number: 11695820
    Abstract: A uniform resource locator (URL) shortener relies on client-side support to embed links to websites into, for example, text messages, emails, tweets, or other forms of microblogging, and that provides additional capabilities. A method may include: recognizing a token indicator; recognizing a token in conjunction with the token indicator; selecting a template corresponding to the token indicator; and executing a process enabled according to the token and the template. Executing an enabled process may include one or more of: generating a URL; generating a URL that is itself a server-based URL shortener, in which the token indicator is substituted for the server-based URL shortener hostname to reduce the character count from that of the server-based URL shortener; displaying information from a destination website of the URL generated from the token and the template; or generating a URL according to a distinctive visual characteristic of the token indicator.

  • Patent number: 10991367
    Abstract: A voice activated assistant activation prevention system includes a database storing audio source information describing a relative location of an audio source. The system is configured to monitor, using at least one microphone, for an activation command that is associated with a recording of a subsequent instruction command and a sending that subsequent instruction command through a network. When the system detects, using first audio information received by the at least one microphone, a first instance of the activation command, it determines a source location of the first instance of the activation command. If the system matches the source location of the first instance of the activation command to the relative location of the audio source described by the audio source information in the database, the system may prevent the sending though the network of an instruction command that immediately follows the first instance of the activation command.

  • Publication number: 20200213409
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for transferring state between devices. In one implementation, a gestural input is detected, and a state of a source application is transferred from a first device to a second device in response to the gestural input. The second device may then generate an instance of a target application that corresponds to a representation of the state of the source application received from the first device. In an additional implementation, a state of the target application is transferred from the second device to the first device. The first device then updates a state of the source application to correspond to a representation of the state of the target application received from the second device.
