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.

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.

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.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for managing workflows between multiple third-party systems. A content management system stores a workflow that operates over content objects by invoking third-party applications. The content management system invokes these third-party applications, and these applications make modifications to the progression of the workflows as the third-party applications carry-out their specific portions of the workflow. Upon receipt of a workflow variable value from a first third-party application, the content management system determines the semantics of the workflow variable value and caries out a next portion of the workflow. The content management system then invokes a further next portion of the workflow to be carried out by a second third-party application.

Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for an authentication framework for real-time document processing. The present invention is configured to receive, via an image capturing device associated with a point-of-sale system of a merchant, a digital image of a payment instrument; extract, using optical character recognition, payment instrument data from the payment instrument; receive one or more authentication credentials from the user to endorse the payment instrument; determine an authentication level of the user based on at least receiving the one or more authentication credentials from the user; determine whether the authentication level of the user meets an authentication requirement level associated with the processing of the payment instrument; and process, in real-time, the payment instrument.

Abstract: Multiple subterranean probes at an area of land detect soil conditions and wirelessly transmit soil condition information to a service provider's backend server or to a technician's hand-held wireless device. The server provides multiple user interface screens of a customer application that display soil condition information and irrigation's system status. Local micro weather stations may determine and wirelessly transmit weather condition information to the server. An installer may use the customer application to determine that received signal strength at a given probe is weak and should thus be relocated, or to determine refined location information corresponding to the probe. Historical soil condition information and artificial intelligence may predict soil conditions where a previously installed probe has been moved or quit working. Probes' housings seal internal electronics, including soil condition sensors, wireless communication modules, processors, and memory.

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.

Abstract: An arrangement for obtaining body measurements of a person includes a garment configured to be form fitted to the person, a reference target, and a handheld digital camera. A surface of the garment includes a plurality of first fiducials which are photogrammetrically analyzable. The reference target includes a plurality of second fiducials that are photogrammetrically analyzable. The plurality of second fiducials on the reference target facilitate producing a 3D model true to scale and in a recognized orientation to a surface on which the person is standing. The handheld digital camera acquires a plurality of successive images of the garment and reference target as the digital camera is moved around the person. A computer processes the plurality images by methods of photogrammetry to produce a 3D model of the body. A portable stabilization device may be held by the person to reduce movement and control arm spacing during image acquisition.

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.

Abstract: Methods for mining soluble minerals from a subterranean deposit. A fluid is injected into a horizontal injection wellbore passing through the deposit and allowed to enter a mining/fracture plane having at least one fracture, extending from the horizontal injection wellbore, at a pressure sufficient to further fracture the deposit, maintain the mining/fracture plane or open the mining/fracture plane. The injected fluid is allowed to dissolve some of the soluble minerals from the deposit thereby forming a mineral solution which is produced from horizontal production wellbores that intersect the mining/fracture plane.
