Patent number: 11935528Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for delivering audible alerts are described. In one aspect, an event for generating an audible alert for a user is detected. In response to detection of the event for generating the audible alert, it is determined whether an authorized audible interface device is within a threshold distance of the user based on a location of the user and a location of one or more authorized audible interface devices. In response to determining that an audible interface device is within the threshold distance of the user, alert instructions for the audible interface device are generated. The alert instructions cause the audible interface device to generate the audible alert in accordance with alert data provided in the alert instructions. The alert instructions are sent to the audible interface device over a wireless network via a communication module.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: Nasim Sarir, Steven Gervais, Peter Horvath, Ekas Kaur Rai, Peter John Alexander, Arun Victor Jagga

Patent number: 11645039Abstract: Methods and systems for transferring a user session between at least two electronic devices are described. The user session is conducted as an audible session via an audible interface provided by a primarily audible first electronic device. Input data is received from the audible interface, wherein the input data causes the audible interface to progress through audible interface states. An interaction may be determined to be sensitive or non-intuitive based on a logic rule or based on tracking interactions in the user session. A current audible interface state is mapped to a visual interface state defined for a visual interface. The mapped visual interface state is pushed to a second electronic device having a visual output device for displaying the visual interface, to enable the user session to be continued as a visual session on the second electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2022Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: THE TORONTO-DOMINION BANKInventors: Nasim Sarir, Steven Gervais, Peter Horvath, Ekas Kaur Rai, Peter John Alexander, Arun Victor Jagga

Patent number: 11543951Abstract: An automated teller device having accessibility configurations is disclosed. in one aspect, in response to a setting to enable the accessibility keypad mode, the automated teller device operates a session in an accessibility keypad mode. In the accessibility keypad mode a second set of actions is mapped to the keys of the keypad. The second set of actions is different than a first set of actions mapped to the keys of the keypad in a standard keypad mode. The second set of actions comprises one or more of actions for navigation and input selection of the graphical user interface, actions for control of audio being reproduced, actions for control of volume of the audio being reproduced, or actions for control of a rate of reproduction of the audio being reproduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2021Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: Steven Gervais, Sara Durning, Amanda Buchanan, Na-Hyun Sophie Park, Gregory James Hamilton, Miguel Martin C.
