  • Publication number: 20200349552
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for secure contactless distribution of dynamic resources. Resource information may be written onto a near field communication (“NFC”) chip associated with a user, and a dynamic resource value element can be associated with this NFC chip. When an NFC interaction between the NFC chip associated with the user and a computing device of the user is detected, the computing device of the user extracts the resource information from the NFC chip, along with a dynamic resource value. The dynamic resource value is compared to an expected dynamic resource value and, if the values match, the extracted resource information is populated into memory fields of the computing device of the user.

  • Publication number: 20200351262
    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.

  • Publication number: 20200350955
    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: 10768795
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a mobile device system, methods and computer program products for providing a centralized, integrated resource transfer application on the mobile device. The integrated resource transfer application of the mobile device is typically configured to launch, control, modify and operate applications stored on the mobile device. In this regard, the integrated resource transfer application facilitates the user to perform a user activity, using multiple applications from a centralized user interface, without requiring the user to open and close one application after another. Another aspect of the integrated resource transfer application is directed to determination of pertinent applications for the user activity and automatic launching the applications within the central interface, by transferring control between applications, automatically, and in a suitable order.

  • Patent number: 10659460
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for a multi-factor authentication of a user via a vehicle recognition of the user. In this way, the invention may identify a user co-located to a vehicle and authenticate that user via communicable linkages between a user device and automobile system. The invention may authenticate the user via the communicable linkage, vehicle biometrics, user vehicle preferences, and/or third party authentication. Based on a number of authentication points identified, the system may identify a level of authentication for accessing authentication locations. The system may then allow user access to various locations from his/her vehicle without requiring authentication into those locations.

  • Publication number: 20190378135
    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.
