  • Patent number: 11954726
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to an Augmented Reality (AR) vehicle buying experience. A client can provide a series of client information, such as characteristics of a desired vehicle. A specified vehicle can be identified and characteristics of that vehicle can be identified. The characteristics of the vehicle can then be compared with the desired vehicle characteristics provided by the client to determine whether the vehicle corresponds to the desired vehicle of the client. Responsive to determining that the specified vehicle corresponds to the desired vehicle of the client, the client AR display can be updated to highlight the specified vehicle depicted in the display. Alternatively, responsive to determining that the specified vehicle does not correspond to the desired vehicle of the client, the client AR display can be updated to obfuscate (e.g., grey out) the specified vehicle in the display.

  • Patent number: 11875332
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a mobile computing device that is configured to secure a purchase transaction between a customer and merchant, and facilitate self-checkout between the user and any of several merchants. The system provides a payment processing network that achieves secure transactions free from fraud, while also having low fees. The system is based on establishing a relationship between a merchant's bank and a customer's bank, prior to a purchase transaction by the customer. The customer may then authorize their own bank to push funds to the merchant's bank in order to purchase goods or services using their smartphone, without the need to share any financial information between the user and merchant themselves. The smartphone is further configured to draw from multiple merchant product databases so that the customer may self-checkout, without the need to use a merchant-specific app, all within one app-linked system for payment and shopping.
