Patent number: 11444823Abstract: Alert routing system and methods are described. Alerts are received and aggregated from disparate internet-of-things devices. Alerts may be prioritized based on any combination of: source device-related factors, such as device purpose; subscriber-related factors, such as age, preferences, and restrictions; and subscriber device-related factors, such as ability to receive information in particular formats. In some instances, alerts are further prioritized based on the location of the system's components. Additionally, in some instances, alerts are queued for batch processing based, for example, on subscriber schedule and preferences.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Andrew J.

Patent number: 11030595Abstract: Utility distribution and payment systems and methods are described in which a financial institution individually bills and collects from individual utility users and provides batch payment to the utility company. The financial institution facilitates the aggregate utility billing by agreeing with a utility company to serve as a billing service for a subset of utility and banking customers. The utility company provides the utility to the customers via smart meters located at the properties receiving the utility (e.g., the customer's home, business, or other property). The smart meters provides individualized usage information to both the utility company and the financial institution. At the end of a billing cycle, the financial institution sends one aggregate payment for all users of the subset to the utility company. The financial institution then collects funds from the utility customers associated with the batch payment by performing internal transfers within the financial institution.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2016Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Daniel David, Andrew J.
