  • Patent number: 10387846
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include systems, methods, and computer-program products for scheduling and affecting appointment calendaring based on dependencies. As such, the invention provides for a dynamic appointment calendaring based on changes in the user's location. The dependencies comprise current and potential future locations and times of a user. The invention continuously monitors the calendars of the user on one or more devices. Further, the invention determines a change in existing appointments or cancellation of an appointment such that the user is newly available at certain time or determines a change in current and potential future locations of the user. Subsequently, the invention then evaluates one or more upcoming future appointments of the user with the financial institution specialists and ascertains the appointment details. The invention then automatically, schedules one or more new appointments at a new time and/or location with relevant specialists.

  • Patent number: 10387845
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include systems, methods, and computer-program products for scheduling and affecting appointment calendaring based on perceived user requirements. As such, the invention provides for a smart appointment calendaring based on the automatic and real time analysis of a user's financial information, transaction history, navigation history and the like. The system then identifies one or more relevant specialists and schedules one or more appointments. Based on needs identified from analysis of user information, the invention may create an appointment package for the user. Thus, the system may schedule appointments with one or more specialists based on the user's requirements.

  • Patent number: 10050962
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products are provided for determining a user's authentication requirements/credentials for function requiring authentication based on determining a location along an authentication continuum. The location along the authentication continuum defines the degree of authentication/credentials required to access the function and is determined based on a current state of the user and/or function attributes. The more or less that is known about the current state of the user the more or less likely the user is the user that is attempting to access the function and, thus, the authentication requirements required to access the function can be adjusted according (increased or decreased).

  • Patent number: 9965606
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for providing user authentication based on historical user patterns. Embodiments of the present invention may be configured to communicate code executable by a computing device that causes the computing device to monitor user patterns of a user based on the user interacting with the computing device; receive baseline user patterns to identify the user; identify, from the baseline user patterns, one or more routine actions performed by the user operating the computing device; receive a request to perform a transaction, wherein the transaction is associated with a level of security that must be authenticated; receive identification user patterns of the user based on the user interacting with the computing device; determine a threshold score based on comparing the identification user patterns with the baseline user patterns; and alter the level of security.
