  • Publication number: 20250094982
    Abstract: A method for supplying a controlled payment number for use on behalf of a tokenized payment account in a digital wallet for e-commerce includes: receiving, by a wallet server, at least a token identifier from an external computing device, the token identifier being associated with a tokenized payment account in the external computing device; transmitting, by the wallet server, at least the token identifier and a request flag to a processing server; identifying, by the processing server, a transaction account number associated with the token identifier, wherein the transaction account number corresponds to the payment account; identifying, by the processing server, a controlled payment number corresponding to the payment account; receiving, by the wallet server, the identified controlled payment number from the processing server; and transmitting, by the wallet server, the identified controlled payment number to the external computing device.

  • Patent number: 12223502
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for facilitating push provisioning of a user payment source into a user's digital wallet without the user having a physical card. The techniques allow an issuer to provide a button in an issuer's mobile application for the user to simply push the button to request that the payment source be imported into the user's digital pay wallet. In this way, the payment source information is “pushed” into the pay wallet. Using push provisioning, the user need not enter any physical card information. The described techniques generate a chain of trust that can be used to ensure that a user, through an issuer and using an encryption gateway, authorizes a token service provider to provision the payment source into the user's digital wallet.

  • Patent number: 12093944
    Abstract: Methods and systems for facilitating provisioning of consumer payment credentials to token requestors such as a digital wallet account or a merchant account are described. In an embodiment, a mobile device processor of a consumer mobile device running a token requestor application receives an indication of a selection by a consumer of an option to add a payment card to a merchant account, displays a list of issuer applications installed on the consumer mobile device that support pull provisioning on a display screen, and receives a selection of an issuer application and issuer application login information.

  • Patent number: 11416837
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for electronically facilitating streaming payments are provided. An exemplary method includes receiving a request to access protected media content hosted by a content provider, determining a minimum currency increment based on a user designated payment type, and establishing a predefined content increment that corresponds to the protected media content. The method further includes determining a minimum session expense ratio based on the minimum currency increment and the predefined content increment, initiating a user session that permits access to the protected media content, and determining a quantification of protected media content that is consumed at a termination of the user session.

  • Patent number: 11349829
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in verifying network identities. One exemplary method includes receiving, at a computing device, data associated with multiple user devices of a user and relating to one or more identity attributes of the user. The method then includes, in response to a request for authentication of the user, generating an aggregate score based on multiple of a reliability sub score, a length of relationship sub score, and a historical consistency sub score for each of the multiple user devices taking into account at least some of the received data. The aggregate score may then be transmitted to a relying party in response to the request, thereby permitting the relying party to authenticate the user based at least in part on the aggregate score.

  • Publication number: 20210181736
    Abstract: An on demand autonomous vehicle application (“AV application”) and service (“AV service”) is provided. The AV service can obtain consumer parameters for an autonomous vehicle use case defined by a user and map the consumer parameters to an available autonomous vehicle. The AV service can map the consumer parameters to the available autonomous vehicle by querying a data resource for registered autonomous vehicles that satisfy baseline criteria using at least one of the consumer parameters to obtain a scoped set of autonomous vehicles; obtaining current state information for each autonomous vehicle of the scoped set of autonomous vehicles; and identifying an autonomous vehicle of the scoped set of autonomous vehicles as the available autonomous vehicle when the current state information of that autonomous vehicle satisfies the autonomous vehicle use case. The AV service can then provide information of the available autonomous vehicle that is mapped to the consumer parameters.

  • Publication number: 20200027115
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide methods and systems for making reward point account balances liquid for the customer. In traditional systems, reward points issued to customers in their reward point accounts have limited redemption options. Embodiments discussed herein allow a user to provision their reward point account into a digital wallet. The user can then use the reward points to purchase goods and services using their reward point account as a payment source via the digital wallet. The result is that the reward point account balance becomes a liquid asset for the customer to use to purchase any goods and/or services at any merchant that accepts payments from a digital wallet. Further, due to real-time point conversion at the time of the transaction, the available point balance is always up-to-date for use through any access method available to the user.
