  • Patent number: 10684774
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are described for generating a virtual keyboard user interface with at least one multi-state display portion. The user interface may include a plurality of keys of a virtual keyboard generated on a display, with at least one key among the plurality of keys having a first function. The user interface may also include a mnemonic device configured to be displayed on the virtual keyboard, where the mnemonic device may be irrelevant to the first function. The mnemonic device may have a first display state when the at least one key is not selected, and have a second display state when the at least one key is selected. In some aspects, the mnemonic device has a reduced visibility in the first display state and a heightened visibility in the second display state, so as to emphasize the second display state.

An update to the first data of the custom entity type can be received and an updated custom entity type is generated. The updated custom entity type is distributed to multiple business listing provider systems configured to provide search results associated with the merchant system in response to a search query from an end user system. The system and method can also generate a search experience interface including multiple input fields. The search experience interface is displayed to an end user to receive search terms via the first input and the second input field in response to a single search action.

  • Patent number: 9712512
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for secure messaging and content sharing. In one implementation, a processor receives a content item in a first format, the content item being associated with an intended recipient, converts the content item into a second format, provides the content item, as converted into the second format, to a device associated with the intended recipient, receives, from the device associated with the intended recipient, one or more inputs in relation to a segment of the content item, processes the one or more inputs to determine that an authentication action is being performed with respect to the segment of the content item, and based on a determination that the authentication action is being performed with respect to the segment of the content item, provides an instruction to present the segment of the content item at the device associated with the intended recipient.

  • Patent number: 9648001
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for secure messaging and content sharing. In one implementation, a processor receives a message associated with a recipient, provides, to the recipient, a notification pertaining to the message, and, based on a determination of a performance of one or more authentication actions with respect to the message, provides the recipient with access to the message. In another implementation, a processor receives a message including one or more content segments, receives inputs in relation to at least one of the content segments, processes the inputs to determine that an authentication action is being performed with respect to the one of the one or more content segments, and based on a determination that the authentication action is being performed with respect to the one of the one or more content segments, presents the at least one of the one or more content segments.
