  • Publication number: 20190392515
    Abstract: A device and method for management of an account. An event placement timeline is displayed. Account events are shown along the timeline. A preferred event time range or “safe zone” is shown along the timeline. The “safe zone” is the portion of the month during which it is safe to schedule certain events, like bill payments, with lower risk of NSF, overdraft or the like. The user moves a movable object into the “safe zone” to reschedule the account event in the “safe zone”, and the settings of the account are modified to automatically execute the account event at that time.

  • Patent number: 10510072
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computerized methods and systems that enable users to delegate a functionality of a mobile application through pre-loaded tokens. In one aspect, the disclosed embodiments may temporarily delegate or “loan” financial products loaded into a mobile wallet of a user to other eligible users. For example, the disclosed embodiments may receive, from a first user, a request to delegate a financial product to a second user to complete purchase transactions. In response to the received request, the disclosed embodiments may identify one or more temporal or financial conditions on the delegation, and may generate a corresponding mobile wallet token for transmission to a second user device. The second user device may, for example, process the mobile wallet token and establish the delegated financial provide in the second user's mobile wallet in accordance with the at least one of the temporal or financial conditions.

  • Publication number: 20190349388
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and computer implemented methods for generating a virtual or augmented reality-based oversight system of business processes at a location remote from where the business process is executed. In one example, system operations include identifying a process-based operation performed at a physical first location, where the operation is associated with a request for oversight from a remote second location. A current state of the operation at the first location is identified, and at least one input source at the first location is identified. A simulation of the current state of the operation at the first location incorporating input from the input source(s) is generated for presentation at the second location. An action performed at the first location in the current state of the operation is identified, and the second location is then transmitted a request to authorize the identified action.

  • Publication number: 20190347627
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computerized systems and methods for generating secured blockchain-based ledger data structures that track occurrences of events across fragmented and geographically dispersed lines-of-business of an enterprise. In one instance, an apparatus associated with a rules authority of the secured blockchain-based ledger may detect an occurrence of a triggering event, and may access and decrypt a set of rules hashed into the secured blockchain-based ledger using a confidentially-held master cryptographic key. The apparatus may identify a rule associated with the detected event, and perform one or more operations consistent with the rule, including a disbursement of various rewards to employees in response to customer-specific interactions with the enterprise. The disclosed embodiments provide a rules process for aggregating mutually incompatible enterprise data that specifies the events, and for tracking the events in uniform data structures accessible across the enterprise.

  • Publication number: 20190340588
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computerized systems and methods for generating secured block-chain-based ledger data structures that track subdivide ownership and usage of one or more assets, such as Internet-connected devices. In one instance, an apparatus associated with a rules authority of the secured block-chain-based ledger may detect an occurrence of a triggering event related to at least one of partial ownership interests in the assets, and may access and decrypt a set of rules hashed into the secured block-chain-based ledger using a confidentially-held master cryptographic key. The apparatus may identify a rule associated with the detected event, and perform one or more operations consistent with the rule, including a generation of additional data blocks reflecting a change in at least one of the partial ownership interests, and additionally or alternatively, processes that adaptively monitor a compliance of one or more partial owners with an imposed usage restriction.

  • Publication number: 20190334805
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and computer implemented methods for implementing a resource allocation and adjusting resource usage and spending based on information received from a plurality of network-connected devices. One example method includes identifying a new connected device replacing an existing device associated with a resource allocation, the resource allocation defining an expected resource usage for a plurality of devices (including the existing device), obtaining historical resource usage information associated with the existing device, identifying the existing device's operational parameters, and determining an expected resource usage for the new connected device after replacement. A change in the expected resource usage in the resource allocation is calculated based on the obtained historical resource usage information associated with the existing device and the expected resource usage amount for the new connected device.

  • Patent number: 10445709
    Abstract: An apparatus for use in a digital asset tracking system includes a storage device and a processor coupled to the storage device. The storage device stores software instructions for controlling the processor that when executed by the processor configure the processor to receive a signal representing a request comprising a first transfer from a first digital container associated with a first client to a second digital container associated with a second client. A value of the first transfer is compared to a total value in one or more accounts associated with the first client. At least one of the one or more accounts associated with the first client has a value in a first currency. A first draft is generated from a first account to an account associated with the second client. The first draft comprises a value in a second currency equivalent to the value of the first transfer.

  • Publication number: 20190310900
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for allocating resources includes identifying event conditions matched by events identified based on a monitoring of events associated with an account. Modifiers associated with the matched event conditions are retrieved. An account modifier is computed based on the modifiers. A selected quantity of resources is determined by modifying a base resource level based on the account modifier and allocated for use in association with the account. The allocating includes initiating a blockchain transaction to update a distributed ledger to indicate the quantity of resources in association with an address associated with the account. The events are associated with consumption of computing resources. The modifiers associated with particular event conditions are updateable based on a comparison of computing resources consumed by events matching the particular event conditions with a resource allocation for those events. Related systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
