  • Patent number: 11113758
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for facilitating image-based financial transactions. A computing device may display a multi-mode launch icon that is alternately selectable by a user in a first mode and in a second mode. The computing device may detect a first user input that selects the launch icon in the first mode and, in response, execute a first application. The computing device may also detect a second user input that selects the launch icon in the second mode and, in response, prompt the user to capture an image of a document with an imaging device. The computing device may determine, based at least in part on the image, that the document is of a first document type and execute a document-type routine to perform a first financial transaction based at least in part on the document.

  • Publication number: 20200380889
    Abstract: Systems and methods are structured to impart an emotional connection to a goal and to generate customized, appropriate challenges that maintain participant engagement by handicapping certain parameters. In one embodiment, a financial health computing system is configured to: generate a first profile for a first participant; generate a first goal for the first participant, the first goal comprising a first plurality of milestones and a first plurality of rewards; assess a participant's progress based on a first status item; and generate an advisory alert for the first participant based on the first status item. The advisory alert comprises a recommended financial health activity and is configured to accept a user input for directing an auxiliary system to perform the recommended financial health activity. The first goal and the first plurality of rewards are customized to the first participant based at least in part on the first profile.
