Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems described herein include initiating an application stored in association with a device disposed within a vehicle and determining a user identifier of a user in the vehicle. Geographic location data may be sent to a remote system along with the user identifier. Events may be received from the remote system that are based at least in part on the geographic location data and the user identifier. The events may be displayed a selection of an interactive element of the user interface that corresponds to an event of the events may be received. The user interface may then transition from a first user interface window displaying the events to a second user interface window configured to display additional information about the event. Based at least in part on the transitioning, the additional information may be displayed via the second user interface window.

The payment service causes presentation of the notification, in near real time, via at least one user device of the user.

Abstract: A computer-implemented technique for applying rewards points is disclosed. A computer system of a payment service receives a request to transfer an amount of funds from a first user's account to a second user's account. The computer system causes presentation of an itemized interactive digital receipt on the first user's computing device including a number of points associated with the first user's account, and one or more items with corresponding points values and user interface controls. The first user selects one or more of the controls, wherein the selection comprises a request to use points for the items corresponding to the controls. The computer system causes the funds to be electronically transferred to the second user's account, wherein an amount of points corresponding to a total of the points values of the selected items are used to satisfy at least a portion of the funds.

Abstract: Various embodiments are related to receiving, by a system and from a user interface associated with an application, provided by the system and executing on a computing device of a user, an input for configuring early payment of at least a percentage of earned pay of the user; and initiating, by the system, an electronic transfer of a payment for at least the percentage of the earned pay of the user to an account of the user, wherein the electronic transfer occurs prior to a scheduled paycheck for the earned pay.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technology for collecting item-level transaction information for interactive payment experience. According to one embodiment, a merchant server can maintain a database including the information of financial accounts having a particular classification. The classification indicates that these financial accounts are associated with a payment service system. When the merchant server determines a requested financial transaction involves a financial account classified in the database, the merchant server transmits the item-level transaction information to the payment service system. The payment service system receives the item-level transaction information in real-time or near real-time and generates an interactive digital transaction receipt for a consumer.

Abstract: An assembly disposed within a subterranean wellbore can include a first dislodging tool coupled to a bottom end of a tubing string, wherein the first dislodging tool, when enabled at a first time, performs a first action to free at least one service tool, disposed below the first dislodging tool in the subterranean wellbore, from being stuck.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technology for sending near real time transaction notifications to user devices of users of a payment service. Data associated with one or more financial accounts of a user and one or more user devices of the user is stored in a database associated with the payment service. The payment service receives transaction information and determines it is associated with a transaction involving a financial account of the user. The payment service generates a notification associated with the transaction, including at least a payment amount. The payment service causes presentation of the notification, in near real time, via at least one user device of the user.

Abstract: Various embodiments are related to a payment to a user based on a percentage of earned pay. Payment of the percentage of earned pay can be based on many factors. For example, the percentage of earned pay can be based on payroll history, sales, or earning's of the user during a shift. Further, the user can designate to receive payment the same day as a request for payment.

Abstract: Various embodiments are related to apparatuses and methods for authorizing a purchase transaction using a mobile device. A consumer can pay for a purchase from a seller using a payment object such as a credit card or automated teller machine (ATM) card. The credit card or ATM card can be swiped through a card reader that is part of the seller's sales system, and the sales system can transmit the purchase transaction to a financial system for approval. The consumer can use a mobile device such as a smartphone, instead of the seller's keypad or signature pad, to electronically capture a signature or personal identification number (PIN) as part of the consumer's authorization of the purchase transaction. The consumer can further use the mobile device to review line items of the purchase transaction or to add a tip amount to the total amount of the purchase transaction.

Abstract: A potentially small, gimballed, multi-sensor system employs a shared aperture for at least some of the image sensors. Applications include intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR), and guiding autonomous vehicles. The system can actively blend images from multiple spectral bands for clarity and interpretability, provide remote identification of objects and material, provide anomaly detection, control lasers and opto-mechanics for image quality, and use shared aperture using folded optics.

Abstract: Techniques for facilitating a secure transaction between a first mobile computing device associated with a driver and a second mobile computing device associated with a passenger are discussed herein. The techniques may include registering an association between a first application executing on the first mobile computing device and a second application executing on the second mobile computing device. The second application may display information indicating an amount of fare for a ride offered by the driver to the passenger. Upon receiving input from the passenger to authorize processing of a payment transaction, the second application may send a request to process the payment transaction using card information. In some examples, the payment transaction is authorized without providing the first application with access to card information.

Abstract: Various embodiments are related to apparatuses and methods related to payroll processing. An employee can designate a customized payroll pay period, and each employee can designate a different payroll pay period. For example, the employee can designate to receive payroll payments on any frequency supported by the employer, including receiving a daily payroll payment on each day that the employee works. The employee's employer can make payroll payments according to the employee's designation. Further, when the employer is a merchant that makes sales each day using, for example, a point of sale system, the employer can electronically pay the employee using funds from the day's sales. For example, the employee can work on a selected day, and can receive an electronic payroll payment at the end of the shift. The employee can immediately use the just received electronic payment funds to purchase a good from a second merchant.
