  • Patent number: 11889480
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, apparatus, methods and/or the like for generating a resource distribution hub using for fully electronic resource distribution by using mobile device application designed to interface with an embedded Near-Field Communication (NFC) tag in a resource distribution instrument that stores instructions for processing the resource distribution authorization information. The holder (i.e., resource provider) of the resource distribution instrument can use the resource distribution instrument to communicate to a mobile communication device having an NFC reader to read the instructions and process a resource distribution according to the parameters of the mobile device application. As such, the holder (i.e., resource provider) of the resource distribution request can process the resource distribution without having to issue a credentials, aliases, pin codes, and the like conventionally used to authorizes the distribution of resources to the resource requester.

  • Patent number: 11645911
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a communicable integration of a user network of devices and a vendor system. Embodiments receive, at the vendor system from the user network of devices, a request for provisioning of products by a vendor; determine a provisioning location for provisioning of the products by the vendor; continuously identify a real-time location of the user via the one or more components of the user network of devices; continuously calculate a real-time first limit based on the continuously identified current location of the user and the provisioning location; calculate a total time to provision the products comprising a sum of a product preparation time and the real-time first limit; and optimize delivery of the products based on the total time to provision and the real-time location of the user.

  • Patent number: 11336587
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for generation and management of controlled-use resources which allow the sender of an electronic resource transfer to limit the ways in which the recipient may use the received resources. This invention allows the sender to maintain control over the products or services purchased with transferred resources, as well as personalize a transfer for a recipient by selecting a favorite merchant or spending category of the recipient. The invention may also benefit a plurality of merchants and other third party entities which may obtain new customers as a result of said customers receiving controlled-use resources designated for said merchants.

  • Patent number: 11196737
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for secondary authentication via contactless distribution of dynamic resources. When an event request associated with a user is received, a prompt for event information is transmitted to a computing device. Based on the event information that is received, a determination is made that the event request requires a secondary authentication in the form of a near field communication (“NFC”) interaction between an NFC chip associated with the user and a secondary authentication device. The NFC chip associated with the user may additionally be associated with a dynamic resource value element. Once the NFC interaction is detected, a dynamic resource value is extracted and compared to an expected dynamic resource value. If the values match, then the user is authenticated for the requested event at the secondary authentication level.

  • Patent number: 11107353
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for transferring one or more resources associated with an interaction via an automobile. The system is typically configured for receiving an input from a user, via one or components of an automobile, to identify one or more third party entities associated with an interaction, identifying, via the one or more components, a current location and a destination of the user, identifying the one or more third party entities between the current location and the destination, applying logic to select a third party entity from the one or more third party entities, establishing a communication link with a third party entity device associated with the third party entity, and initiating transfer of resources to the remote device to complete the interaction.

  • Patent number: 11087312
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are used in a token based financial transaction system, whereby individual tokens associated with one or more financial accounts provided to one or more third parties. Embodiments credit an amount of a virtual currency in at least one bank account of a customer, wherein the at least one bank account has an associated amount of funds that is increased by the credit of the amount of virtual currency; generate a payment token associated with the at least one bank account of the customer; receive a transaction request to process a transaction using the token; determine that the transaction request is associated with a transaction having a transaction amount less than or equal to the amount of funds associated with the at least one bank account; and approve and settle the transaction.

  • Patent number: 10998937
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed facilitating an electronic resource distribution by embedding a short-range wireless tag in a resource distribution request that stores instructions for processing the resource distribution in a fully electronic processing flow. As such, the resource distribution request holder is capable of processing the request without issuing a resource distribution document to the resource requester. In additional embodiments of the invention, the short-range wireless tag further stores instructions for arranging subsequent resource distributions to the resource requester to occur without the need for the resource requester to present a resource request document.

  • Patent number: 10990971
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for non-intrusive geo-location determination associated with transaction authorization. The invention enables one or more transactions initiated by a user to be authenticated and/or validated based on, at least in part, determined locations of the user relative to the locations of the one or more transactions. The user location is determined by transmitting one or more queries to a user device. The system determines the validity of the one or more transactions based on at least comparing the transaction location to the user location, before enabling further processing of the one or more transactions. The present invention is advantageous since it enables authentication/authorization of one or more transactions associated with the user by utilizing the user location, while precluding any inadvertent privacy concerns.

  • Patent number: 10990109
    Abstract: The preset invention relates to a system for integrated connectivity of devices to provide dynamic control and real-time routing of a vehicle for item transfer and vehicle performance. The system is configured for constructing a dynamic item file comprising one or more items associated with a user. The system is configured to identify an item collection initiation trigger and transmit an order placement control signal to an entity system of an item entity to initiate item transfer of the one or more items at a predetermined time interval. The system is configured to direct the vehicle to a first parking location associated with the geographic location parameter of the item entity. In addition, using a sensor device of the vehicle such as a weight sensor, an RFID sensor and/or a visual capture device, the system is structured to identify that the one or more items are located in the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10979306
    Abstract: The invention comprises a user friendly investment strategy platform. This invention allows for a drag-and-drop platform for various sectors, strategies, vehicles, and timing in the form of blocks. This allows a user to generate any desired resource management strategy and the system may deploy the strategy as a simulated resource management action. Furthermore, the system allows for deployment of the resource action live on a resource exchange upon user authorization. The blocks include object codes that are programmed to build out any possible resource management strategy. The invention may also suggest or recommend thresholds, and other templates that allow for customization.
