  • Patent number: 10713650
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a reusable physical financial instrument and a system and a method for enabling the financial instrument to perform multiple financial transactions. The financial instrument is capable of creating mixed reality experience when it comes in vicinity of the payor or payee device or ATM. Through the created mixed reality experience, the payor and the payee inputs payor-side and payee-side transaction and biometric data which are stored onto smart chip of the instrument and/or on Cloud Storage using cloud computing interface. The stored payor-side and payee-side transaction data are cross-validated and their biometric data is further verified against golden copy at the respective financial institutions or at the Central Authority's repositories for performing the financial transaction.

  • Patent number: 10650379
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for biometric authentication of a user using a personalised identification and associated biometric data. In one embodiment, a plurality of personalised identifiers and biometric data may be captured from a number of users and stored in a repository as stored records. The authentication process may be divided into two phases. In the first phase, either a speech recognition or character recognition process may be applied in order to determine the text spoken or written by the user. Subsequently a few records may be fetched from the repository on the basis of text mapping. In the second phase, biometric authentication may be performed by comparing the biometric sample with the stored biometric data corresponding to the fetched records to uniquely identify a single user. Further a machine learning technique may be applied in order to periodically refine a plurality of models stored in the repository.

  • Patent number: 10198565
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to screening candidate profile, and more particularly to system and method for screening candidate profile. In one embodiment, the method includes dividing a candidate profile into a plurality of subset-profiles having subset-profile information of attributes of the candidate profile. The subset-profile information is mapped with target-profile information of a plurality of targets to identify a set of targets capable of screening the subset-profile information. Queries are provisioned to the set of targets for performing screening, and responses to queries are received from therefrom. An aggregated weightage associated with the responses is computed based at least on an extent of matching of the responses and a confidence score associated with each target of the set of targets. The aggregated weightage is compared with a threshold value of weightage to identify the subset-profile information as one of a valid information and an invalid information.

  • Patent number: 9635106
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating peer-to-peer communication are disclosed. A payor and a payee may establish a communication request with intent to execute a transaction in a P2P payment. The payee and the payor may transmit a first request and a second request respectively to an intermediary server to establish the communication. Based on the first request and the second request, the intermediary server sends one or more identification elements to the payee and payor. The payee and payor are identified at intermediary server as parties for P2P payment after an augmented reality (AR) experience and a resultant synchronized action that sends first trigger request and second trigger request from the respective devices.

  • Patent number: 9355409
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for exchanging information between a mobile device and a physical advertising medium, such as a billboard. The method and system enables a pluggable device, coupled with the mobile device, to detect the mobile device within its vicinity of the physical advertising medium. On detection of the mobile device, the pluggable device establishes a handshake communication channel with the mobile device by authorizing the mobile device. Upon authorizing the mobile device, the pluggable device initiates the advertisement information exchange between the physical advertising medium and the mobile device in a non-intrusive manner. In one aspect, the method and system further enables the mobile device to relay the advertisement information to other mobile devices or any other physical advertisement mediums within its vicinity.
