Patent number: 12198282Abstract: A system and method for helping a user carrying a smart device to maintain safe distances from other persons during an epidemic or a pandemic. A portable smart device measures the approximate distance to persons in the vicinity of the user, and notifies the user whenever he or she is too close to other persons. The portable smart device may overlay augmented reality graphics (such as arcs, lines, text, numbers, or other graphics) over images captured by the smart device's camera, to indicate safe distances. The graphics serve to inform and/or warn the user that he or she may be getting too close to other persons.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2023Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Thomas Wayne Schwarz, Jr., Jeanie Graciela Lopez, Janelle Denice Dziuk, Paula Ann Whittington, Donald Nathaniel Holloway, III, Jennifer Hunt Erickson, Will Kerns Maney, Jr., Bradley Jay Billman, Noe Alberto Martinez, Jose L. Romero, Jr., Bharat Prasad

Patent number: 11915255Abstract: Systems and methods receive contextual data related to spending as well as spending data. Correlations are determined to explain variables that influence spending amounts or rates. Systems and methods can collect user spending context data associated with a user, generate spending correlations between variables of the user spending context data, determine a next event based on at least one of the location data and the relationship data, and generate a next event value for the next event having at least a subset of the variables.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Richard Daniel Graham, Ruthie Lyle, Matthew C. Reedy, Jeanie Graciela Lopez, Paula Ann Whittington

Patent number: 11517641Abstract: A sanitary method and system of providing touch interface experiences to users of public devices are disclosed. In one aspect, the system and method are configured to deploy a clean, protective barrier across a touchscreen for each user of the public device. The barrier includes a transparent membrane that permits the user to provide touch-based inputs to the touchscreen through the barrier. In cases where the touch interface is generated by a projector, the system and method are configured to deploy a membrane that serves as a disposable screen for the projected interface. Once each user completes their session, the system automatically replaces the used membrane with a fresh membrane, ensuring subsequent users are not exposed to contaminants or residue from previous user sessions.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Thomas Wayne Schwarz, Jr., Jeanie Graciela Lopez, Janelle Denice Dziuk, Paula Ann Whittington, Donald Nathaniel Holloway, III, Jennifer Hunt Erickson, Will Kerns Maney, Jr., Bradly Jay Billman, Noe Alberto Martinez, Jose L.

Patent number: 11436588Abstract: A method and system of increasing the security of requests to access funds from a joint bank account by secondary users to permit a primary user to securely regulate fund usage are disclosed. The system and method are configured to link to a bank account and restrict access of funds by secondary users per conditions defined by the primary user(s). A software application receives requests for funds from secondary users for use during a transaction to be performed at a specific merchant location. The application requires geodata that supports the proposed transaction, for example by inclusion of an image taken in which GPS data is embedded. The request will only be conveyed to the primary user if the system determines the embedded GPS data corresponds to the location of the merchant.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2019Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Valerie Ann Roth, Charise Renee Whitaker, Oscar Guerra, Ashley Raine Philbrick, Paula Ann Whittington, Kelly Q.

Patent number: 11429980Abstract: A method and system of increasing the security of requests to access funds from a joint bank account by secondary users in order to permit a primary user to securely regulate fund usage are disclosed. The system and method are configured to link to a bank account and restrict the access of funds by secondary users per conditions defined by the primary user(s). An application can be accessed via a computing device that receives requests for funds from secondary users and requires the secondary user to also submit a digital image or video that supports their proposed transaction. The request will only be conveyed to the primary user if the necessary digital verification is received by the system.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Valerie Ann Roth, Charise Renee Whitaker, Oscar Guerra, Ashley Raine Philbrick, Paula Ann Whittington, Kelly Q.

Publication number: 20210370707Abstract: The technology described herein relates to a design template overlaid on a surrounding series of grid cut lines on the back side of a roll of wrapping paper. Based on juxtaposition within the grid cut lines, the DIY design template cut lines may correspond directly or indirectly to at least a portion of the front side of the wrapping paper decoration. Accordingly, embodiments of the design template may include cut lines for various bow and/or accessory content that, once extracted from the surrounding wrapping paper, may be assembled into a coordinated bow or accessory featuring intentional placement of design content form the front side of the wrapping paper. Additionally, the design template pattern may be repeated along an axis of orientation of the roll of wrapping paper, such that multiple DIY design templates may be repeated across the entire roll wrap bundle.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Applicant: Hallmark Cards, Inc.Inventors: Gina Beth Hull, Theresa Rose Mitchell, Olivia Turner Butler, Paula Ann Evans

Patent number: 11178521Abstract: A system and method for dispatching messages from a user to at least one recipient over a telecommunications network is disclosed. The system includes a messaging system and an authentication system. The messaging system receives user messages, retrieves contact information for recipients on a user's contact list, and attempts to deliver messages to recipients on the list. The system may continue attempting to deliver messages to recipients until it finds a recipient who is available to receive the message. The authentication system is used to ensure the recipient is a person and not a machine. The messages could be audio messages delivered using a telephone network or messages delivered over an SMS network.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2019Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Valerie Ann Roth, Charise Renee Whitaker, Oscar Guerra, Ashley Raine Philbrick, Paula Ann Whittington, Kelly Q.

Patent number: 10463082Abstract: A nursing bra with nurser liner pouch for simulating breastfeeding. The bra includes multiple layers. The first outer layer can be opened and flipped down by releasing the clasp at the bra strap. The second inner layer with circular opening can be opened by (unfastening) the snaps (releasable fasteners) that attach the second inner layer to the back third layer. The second inner layer and back third layer create a pocket for the nurser liner pouch. The nurser liner pouch can contain fluid while the threaded cap base attached is sized to be secured to a commercially available nipple and retainer ring and can be placed into the pocket in the nursing bra with nipple protruding through the circular opening in the second inner layer. The nursing bra with nurser liner pouch is expected to far more closely simulate the experience and project the appearance of natural breastfeeding.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2015Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Inventors: Alma Louise Boele, Paula Ann Manion
