Patent number: 10853774Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2016Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: Garima Aggarwal, Jonathan K. Barnett, Roisin Lara Fritz, Robert Kyle Miller, Paul Mon-Wah Chan, John Jong-Suk Lee, Orin DelVecchio

Patent number: 10708323Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Box, Inc.Inventors: Anne Elizabeth Hiatt Pearl, Jenica Nash Blechschmidt, Natalia Vinnik, Robert Kyle Waldrop, Sam Michael Devlin, Steven Luis Cipolla, Sesh Jalagam

Publication number: 20200065782Abstract: A computerized data transfer system allows data transfers to be initiated over a network between senders and recipients. Individual senders initiate data transfers over the network by selecting a recipient from a list at a sender device. The system includes a data store of sender specific recipients, a data transfer history data store of past transfers; and a master participant data store storing profiles of recipients for which transfers can be initiated. The system includes a computing device that for selected senders, retrieves entries of the data store of sender specific recipients, master participant data store and data transfer history data store; generates a predicted transfer profile for each recipient for the sender, based on past data transfers and the master participant data store to identify deviations therefrom; and updates the data store of sender specific recipients for the selected sender to update entries for recipients associated with identified deviations.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2018Publication date: February 27, 2020Inventors: ROBERT KYLE MILLER, SONJA TORBICA, HELENE NICOLE ESPOSITO, HARRISON MICHAEL JAMES REILLY, MATTA WAKIM, KYRYLL ODOBETSKIY, DEXTER LAMONT FICHUK, ADAM DOUGLAS McPHEE, OMAS ABDULLAH

Publication number: 20200058068Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that, among other things, dynamically provision and initiate exchanges of data between network-connected devices and systems based on aggregated contextual information. For example, a network-connected apparatus may obtain (i) first data identifying first exchanges of data initiated during a first temporal interval, (ii) second data identifying a current parameter value of the first data exchanges, and (iii) third data identifying a status of an account involved in the first data exchanges. Based on the first, second, and third data, the apparatus may compute a value indicative of a probability of an initiation of a second data exchange involving the account during a second temporal interval. Further, when the computed value is consistent with an alert criterion, the apparatus may transmit alert data characterizing the second data exchange to a device for display within an interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2018Publication date: February 20, 2020Inventors: Rajeev Kumar GANDHI, Robert Kyle MILLER, Kushank RASTOGI, David Samuel TAX, Milos DUNJIC, Arthur Carroll CHOW, Armon ROUHANI, Maryam KARBASI, Kamana TRIPATHI, John Jong-Suk LEE, Arun Victor JAGGA

Publication number: 20200059419Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2018Publication date: February 20, 2020Applicant: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: Robert Kyle Miller, Sonja Torbica, Helene Nicole Esposito

Publication number: 20200005258Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2018Publication date: January 2, 2020Inventors: Robert Kyle MILLER, Sonja Torbica, Helene Nicole Esposito, Harrison Michael James Reilly, Matta Wakim, Kyryll Odobetskiy, Dexter Lamont Fichuk, Adam Douglas Mcphee, Omas Abdullah, Patrick Jian Hong Hum
