  • Patent number: 11100168
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that, among other things, automatically populate, in real-time, portions of digital interfaces based on dynamically generated contextual data. For example, a network-connected apparatus may receive, from a device, a portion of an identifier of a first counterparty to an exchange of data. The apparatus may perform operations determine a second counterparty to the data exchange based on at least one of a current geographic position of the first device, a first element of profile data associated with the first device, or the received portion of the first counterparty identifier, and may transmit an identifier of the second counterparty to the device. The device may execute an application program that presents the second counterparty identifier within a corresponding portion of an interface associated with the data exchange.

  • Patent number: 11087314
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for a remittance system that pre-populates remittance data based on historical usage of remittance transactions. One example system includes operations to generate, using a predictive model, data indicating a predicted likelihood of a user selecting at least one data exchange transaction, wherein the data indicates the predicted likelihood of the user performing the at least one data exchange transaction. A request is received to access a remittance page. In response, the at least one data exchange transaction that was previously generated is selected from a repository of predicted likelihoods. Remittance data associated with a UI element is generated that includes the at least one data exchange transaction. The remittance data is transmitted to the device. An indication from the device is received for interacting with the UI element. The data exchange transaction is executed in response to receiving the indication.

  • Patent number: 11070448
    Abstract: A provisioning server for automated provisioning and associated methods are disclosed. The provisioning server extracts data from a data transfer instruction for a data provider addition based on a matching data transfer instruction template, and parses the extracted data in accordance with the matching data transfer instruction template to identify an account identifier. Data transfer information for a second data transfer network for an identified data provider and an identified account identifier from a data provider database are determined. The data provider database comprises data provider information comprising data provider names for a plurality of data providers registered with the provisioning server. A data provider record is generated and stored in a data provider list of the account in an account database. The data provider record includes the identified data provider name, identified account identifier and the data transfer information.

  • Publication number: 20210133706
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that, among other things, automatically generate and populate digital interfaces based on adaptively processed image data captured by a network-connected device operating within a computing environment. For example, an apparatus may receive, from a device, a first signal that includes image data identifying a document associated with a data exchange capable of initiation by the device. The apparatus may detect, within a first portion of the image data, a presence of first textual content associated with a first parameter of the data exchange, extract a first value characterizing the first parameter from the first textual content, and generate and transmit a second signal that includes the first value to the device. The second signal includes information that instructs the device to display the first value within a portion of an interface corresponding to the first parameter.

  • Publication number: 20210009258
    Abstract: An aircraft landing gear bogie beam including first and second ends and a mounting bearing for connection to an aircraft landing gear main strut between the ends. Each end has a respective axle, and each axle defines a wheel mounting portion on each side of the bogie beam. The bogie beam is arranged to enable the first and second axles to each pivot relative to the bearing about a respective longitudinal axis of the bogie beam by an amount that is sufficient to place a wheel rim of a wheel assembly in contact with the ground in the event of a tyre of the wheel assembly deflating.

  • Patent number: 10853774
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer-implemented methods for implementing a data transfer control based on information received from connected devices. In one instance, operations include loading an expected usage amount for a group of connected devices. Signals representing actual usage amounts associated with the group are received from at least device in the group. The actual usage amounts can be compared to the expected usage amount. An authorization of at least one payment-related action associated with the at least one group of connected devices is automatically transmitted to a payment system in response to determining that the usage amount is less than or equal to the expected amount, and at least one instruction to perform a corrective action associated with the group is automatically transmitted to at least one connected device of the group in response to determining that the actual amount exceeds the expected amount.

  • Patent number: 10759523
    Abstract: An aircraft assembly having landing gear with a known deployment value, apparatus for permitting landing gear deployment, down-lock sensing apparatus, a navigation system, a landing gear control system, a flight control system, and a deployment controller. The deployment controller is configured to: calculate a touch down value using the aircraft position and speed information provided by the aircraft navigation system; command the landing gear control system to provide the deploy signal when the touch down value reaches a deployment threshold value which is greater than the landing gear deployment value; and command the flight control system to execute a landing abort sequence if the controller does not receive the down-lock signal from the landing gear sensing apparatus within a deployment value window which is greater than or equal to the known deployment value for the landing gear but less than the touch down value.

  • Patent number: 10713715
    Abstract: A computing device and method for managing an account. A computer displays a historical timeline and an event placement timeline. Past events are shown along the historical timeline, and future events along the event placement timeline. The computer suggest a change to the timing of one of the events. The user moves a movable object to the proposed timing to reschedule the event. The settings of the account are modified to automatically execute that event at the new timing.

  • Patent number: 10708323
    Abstract: Systems for managing content in a cloud-based service platform. A server in a cloud-based environment is interfaced with storage devices that hold one or more stored objects accessible by two or more users. The stored objects comprise folders and files as well as other objects such as workflow objects that are associated with the folders or the files. The workflow objects comprise workflow metadata that describes a workflow as a set of workflow tasks to be carried out in a progression. Processing of a workflow task and/or carrying out a portion of the progression includes modification of shared content objects. The processing or modification events are detected through workflow events, which in turn cause one or more workflow responses to be generated. Workflow responses comprise updates to the workflow metadata to record progression through the workflow and/or workflow responses comprise updates to any one or more of the stored objects.

  • Patent number: 10664906
    Abstract: A device and method for management of an account. An event placement timeline is displayed. Account events are shown along the timeline. A preferred event time range or “safe zone” is shown along the timeline. The “safe zone” is the portion of the month during which it is safe to schedule certain events, like bill payments, with lower risk of NSF, overdraft or the like. The user moves a movable object into the “safe zone” to reschedule the account event in the “safe zone”, and the settings of the account are modified to automatically execute the account event at that time.
