Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for electronic resource transfer authentication via a user characteristic data verification engine. The system receives a request to transfer electronic resources from a first endpoint device of a merchant. The system then identifies a resource vehicle owner associated with the electronic resource transfer, identifies at least one second endpoint device, then transmits a request for verification from the entity to the at least one second endpoint device, utilizing an application programming interface. The user characteristic feedback hardware of the at least one second endpoint device collects identifier data from the user of the at least one second endpoint device, and a user characteristic data verification engine is initiated and thereafter determines a binary identification output. An entirety of the electronic resources are distributed to the merchant based on the binary identification output.

Abstract: Software of devices, such as medical devices or other constrained devices configured to implement specific functions, can use content files to determine text strings or other content values to present in association with user interface elements. Devices can receive relevant content files, such as new versions of previously-stored content files or new content files containing text in different languages, from a remote content file repository. The software of the devices can accordingly update content values presented in user interfaces based on newly received content files, without the software being re-coded, the software being restarted, or the devices rebooting.
