  • Publication number: 20240127241
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for electronic resource transfer authentication via a user characteristic data verification engine. The system receives a request to transfer electronic resources from a first endpoint device of a merchant. The system then identifies a resource vehicle owner associated with the electronic resource transfer, identifies at least one second endpoint device, then transmits a request for verification from the entity to the at least one second endpoint device, utilizing an application programming interface. The user characteristic feedback hardware of the at least one second endpoint device collects identifier data from the user of the at least one second endpoint device, and a user characteristic data verification engine is initiated and thereafter determines a binary identification output. An entirety of the electronic resources are distributed to the merchant based on the binary identification output.

  • Patent number: 11556635
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for evaluating and weighting resource usage activity data. The system may establish a communicable link to a user device via a user application to receive resource activity data and historical data from one or more users or systems via multiple communication channels. The system may evaluate the historical data and determine evaluation criteria based on perceived chance of loss associated with particular metadata characteristics, and use the evaluation criteria as weighted metrics for determining an overall evaluation score for the user based on indication from resource activity data that the user has conducted resource transfers with entities or channels identified in the historical data.

  • Patent number: 11539676
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for protection of network-based resource transfers via the use of encrypted tags. As such, the system allows for generation of unique encrypted tags which encode authorization parameters for denominations of electronic resources. The system may then authorize or deny requested network-based transfers by utilizing a decryption module to access the authorization parameters for a specific electronic resource denomination. Furthermore, the system may manipulate the encrypted tags to alter the authorization parameters or to track an electronic resource denomination across multiple network-based transfers.

  • Patent number: 11386902
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for generation and maintenance of verified data records. The system may receive a data submission from a user device over one or more communication channels and convert the data submission into a normalized text format for processing and analysis. The data submission may then be analyzed using one or more trained machined learning models in order to identify factual statements and modifiers within the data submission, and generate a confidence score of verified factual information based on corroboration with one or more additional data sources. Additionally, identified modifiers may be analyzed to determine positive or negative sentiment.

  • Patent number: 11297179
    Abstract: Verification of the identities of parties participating in network-based communication, such as telephone communication, including SMS/text communication, email communication and the like is provided. Communication identifiers (IDs) (e.g., telephone numbers, email addresses or the like) are verified as being associated with one or more communication parties and, in response, a verified communication (ID) database is established. The verified communication ID database is relied upon when a user/communication is selecting a communication ID as an address for an impending communication or receiving a communication for determining whether the communication ID is verifiably associated with a known communication party. If the communication ID is determined to be verifiably associated with a known communication party, a visual or audible output may be provided on the user's device or within the communication that indicates that the communication ID is verifiably associated with the known communication party.

  • Patent number: 11283771
    Abstract: A system for secure data transfer is provided. The system is configured to: generate a database of verified interaction providers comprising verified provider information; determine that a user device has accessed a data transfer location associated with an interaction provider; install a proxy server over the data transfer location, wherein data transfer traffic between the user device and the interaction provider is routed through and monitored by the proxy server; determine, via the proxy server, that the user device has requested an interaction at the data transfer location, the interaction comprising a data transfer; determine that the interaction provider associated with the data transfer location is in the database of verified interaction providers; and in response to determining that the interaction provider is in the database, complete the data transfer through the proxy server.

  • Patent number: 11263049
    Abstract: Resource event patterns are identified in previously conducted resource events based on historical resource event data and, in some embodiments, pending and/or previous resource event request data. Specifically, the resource event patterns indicate a timing pattern for when resource events included in the pattern are conducted. Based at least on the timing pattern, an optimal time or time period is determined for communicating a notification to the user that is configured to notify a user that a next occurrence of a time within the timing pattern is imminent and that a resource event within the resource event pattern is pending. The optimal time may be close in proximity of the next occurrence of the time within the timing pattern or, depending on other factors, such as user preference, resource volume due, resource volume availability, resource volume due in comparison to typical resource volume due, the optimal time may be farther out from the next occurrence of a time within the timing pattern.

  • Patent number: 5224485
    Abstract: A portable data acquisition unit which features a sample order register which sets addresses in a multiplexer unit allowing one out of many electrical signals connected to the multiplexer to pass through at one time. The selected electrical signal is a sample which is transmitted to an A-to-D converter so that a digital signal is generated and passed to a communications port and then to a remote host device. A clock pulse increments the next address in the sample order list to the multiplexer to establish the next signal sample to be transmitted to the host device. At the host device, the original electrical signals may be reconstituted. For example, the electrical signals may be physiological signals derived from transducers associated with an EKG. The host device may be a remote EKG apparatus.

  • Patent number: 5217020
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for acquiring and processing EKG signals. A plurality of electrodes for measuring a patient's cardiac electrical signals provide analog electrode signals to an analog-to-digital converter via a plurality of electrode wires. The analog-to-digital converter converts the analog electrode signals to corresponding digital electrode signals which are then combined into combined signal leads.

  • Patent number: 5085224
    Abstract: A portable leadwire signalling terminal is provided as an interface between an EKG base unit and a patient. The portable terminal includes a signal transceiver which transmits leadwire information to the EKG apparatus, as well as pushbutton information. The EKG unit sends back information suitable for a video display in the terminal. This information is indicative of noise on each leadwire, as well as whether a lead wire is disconnected.
