Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to a delayed presentation of authentication challenge for users, such as in the context of a chat session. In various embodiments, a server system receives an indication of a request for service initiated by a user in a chat session within an application executed by a client device. The request for service involves an authentication of the user that is dependent on the authentication being successfully completed within a particular time period after the authentication is initiated. The server system delays the initiation of authentication for the request for service until a readiness condition is satisfied. The readiness condition includes the server system being available to process the request for service, as well as subsequently detecting engagement with the user relating to the request for service. In response to the readiness condition being satisfied, the server system initiates the authentication of the user.

Abstract: To blur the physical environment viewable through a transparent display, a system may capture images of the physical environment using a camera, warp the images of the physical environment from the perspective of the camera to the perspective of a user's eye, and display a blurred version of the warped images. The transparent display overlays a blurred version of the physical environment over the physical environment such that the physical environment appears blurred. This type of blur effect may be applied across the entire physical environment that is viewable through the transparent display or across only a subset of the physical environment that is viewable through the transparent display.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for biometric authentication during voice data transfers. A user may initiate voice communications with a service provider endpoint that provides automated services to the user through the voice or audio communications, such as an interactive voice response (IVR) system where a user may navigate menus through audio commands. The user may by required to authenticate their identity during the phone call or other voice data transfer, which may be done by entering a biometric, such as a fingerprint. The biometric may be converted to biometric feature data and provided to one or more token service providers. The token service providers may provide one or more tokens for the biometric, which may be used as the authentication token. This token may then be transmitted to the IVR system through the user's endpoint using a dialer feature of the endpoint.

Abstract: Systems and methods for smart cloud caching using edge computing and real-time customer journey insights are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system identifies a trend in communications received by a first edge cloud server, wherein each communication corresponds to a customer journey comprising user action steps performed in a client application. The system determines which user action steps cause API invocations to non-edge cloud servers and generates a sequence of API invocations in an order associated with the sequence of user action steps of the customer journey. The sequence of API invocations may be chained and/or bundled and stored in a cache for replication at edge cloud servers. The system may determine that the trend is pervasive in a geographical location based on satisfaction of a criteria, and replicate the cached sequence of API invocations at a cache of a second edge cloud server that services the geographical location.
