Patent number: 11978046Abstract: Users of a communication system can initiate electronic payments during a communication session hosted by the communication system or via a social network identity page hosted by the communication system. The communication system detects a payment signal from a user of the communication system and the collects payment information details either by displaying a payment object interface in a communication application of the user or receiving payment information input directly from the user's communication device. The payment information includes sender and recipient payment account identifiers that are communicated to a payment processing system for processing and delivery of the designated payment amount to the recipient.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Travis Harrison Kroll Green, Michael DePasquale, Boris Mizhen, Josh Ostrow, Peter Schmitt, Kevin Michael Bierhoff, Alevtina Stolpnik, Avery Pennarun, Narelle Cozens

Patent number: 10963847Abstract: A group including plurality of users is established. A transaction record is maintained for the group that includes a plurality of payment transactions. Each of the plurality of payment transactions involves at least one user of the group. Additionally, a balance is maintained that indicates an amount owed by a first user of the group to a second user of the group based on one or more of the plurality of payment transactions. When a settling event occurs, the balance is settled by initiating a transfer of funds between the first user and the second user.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Travis Harrison Kroll Green, Narelle Cozens, Peter Schmitt, Michael DePasquale, Avery Pennarun, Boris Mizhen

Patent number: 10026119Abstract: A transfer management system receives a request to transfer an amount of funds from a transferring account maintained by a transferring bank to a receiving account maintained by a receiving bank. The transfer management system determines whether the transferring bank maintains an intermediate transferring account, and whether the receiving bank maintains an intermediate receiving account. If the transferring bank maintains an intermediate transferring account and the receiving maintains an intermediate receiving account, the transfer management system transmits to a transferring bank system of the transferring bank an intra-bank transfer request. The intra-bank transfer request is to transfer the amount of funds from the transferring account to the intermediate transferring account.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2012Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Travis Harrison Kroll Green, Narelle Cozens, Peter Schmitt, Michael DePasquale, Avery Pennarun, Boris Mizhen

Patent number: 9922339Abstract: A transaction parameter date set comprising input variables characterizing the transaction conditions are collected when an electronic payment is initiated on an electronic payment system. The collected transaction input variables are used to calculate an expected future transaction value using a decision function. The expected future transaction value identifies high utility transaction based on a comparison of the expected future transaction value to a threshold value established while training the decision function on a training data set of known outcome. A high utility transaction can include behavior that if rewarded is likely to retain current users or grow the electronic payment system network by adding new users. If the expected future transaction value exceeds the threshold value the sender of the electronic payment is rewarded by the system.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Travis Harrison Kroll Green, Brian Richard Schneirow
