Patent number: 11941615Abstract: Method and apparatus for transmitting credentials to a transaction processing system, the credentials arranged in sets and a set including a unique identifier and verification data elements. Credentials are activated and are then available for use in at least one subsequent transaction. In the transaction, in response to receiving authorization from a user, the unique identifier and verification data elements from a set are transmitted to the transaction processing system for the user. The credentials are activated using an activation mode selected from at least a first activation mode and a second activation mode. In the first activation mode, additional user input for the verification data elements associated with the unique identifier is received from the user. In the second activation mode, the user is authenticated, and verification data elements are received via a data communications network are received from a trusted data processing system remote from the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: VISA EUROPE LIMITEDInventors: Paul Michael Carpenter, Jonathan Paul Sumpster, Andrew Paul Thompson, Christopher Ian Abrathat, Jonathan Rusca, Jean-Christophe Gilbert Lacour, Michael Ronald Philpotts

Publication number: 20210065691Abstract: An automatic speech sensitivity adjustment feature is provided. The described sensitivity feature can enable an automatic system adjustment of a sensitivity level based on the number and type of determined speech errors. The sensitivity level determines how sensitive the sensitivity feature will be when indicating speech errors. The sensitivity feature can receive audio input comprising one or more spoken words and determine speech errors for the audio input using at least a sensitivity level. The sensitivity feature can determine whether an amount and type of the speech errors requires an adjustment to the sensitivity level. The sensitivity feature can adjust the sensitivity level to a second sensitivity level based on the amount and type of the speech errors, where the second sensitivity level is a different level than the sensitivity level. The sensitivity feature can re-determine the speech errors for the audio input using at least the second sensitivity level.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2019Publication date: March 4, 2021Inventors: Michael THOLFSEN, Paul Ronald RAY, Daniel Edward MCALLISTER, HernĂ¡n David MAESTRE PIEDRAHITA
