Publication number: 20250148248Abstract: A transaction card may power on the transaction card using electric current induced from an interaction of the transaction card with an electromagnetic field. The transaction card may establish a communication with a device. The communication may indicate that the transaction card has powered. The transaction card may receive, from the device, a set of instructions to configure a set of applets on the transaction card after notifying the device that the transaction card has powered on. The set of applets to be configured may be related to completing one or more different transactions. The set of applets to be configured may be different than another set of applets already configured on the transaction card. The transaction card may configure the set of applets on the transaction card according to the set of instructions after receiving the set of instructions.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2025Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: Adam KOEPPEL, James ZARAKAS, Molly JOHNSON, Tyler LOCKE

Patent number: 12243038Abstract: A secure method of real time money transferring between account holders utilizes Near Field Communication (NFC) technologies, dynamic transaction cards, and a mobile application to facilitate a seamless mobile transfer of funds. The dynamic transaction card of the customer requesting to make the transfer of funds may be placed in contact with the second recipient dynamic transaction card of the customer receiving the funds transfer to establish an NFC connection. The dynamic transaction card requesting the transfer may receive, via the NFC antenna on the card, the recipient customer account information stored on a passive NFC tag. The dynamic transaction card requesting the transfer may transmit the recipient account information to a mobile application, which may transmit the recipient account information to an account provider system for facilitating the funds transfer.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: CAPITAL ONE SERVICES, LLCInventors: Tyler Locke, Kevin Kelly, David Wurmfeld

Patent number: 12223498Abstract: A transaction card includes a near-field communication (NFC) component, a security component, a wireless component, one or more memories, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories. The device receives a signal from a user device attempting to access a secure application, and energizes the NFC component based on the signal received from the user device. The device causes the security component to generate an encrypted code based on the NFC component being energized, and provides, via the security component, the encrypted code to the wireless component. The device provides, via the wireless component, the encrypted code to the user device to permit the user device to utilize the encrypted code as authentication for accessing the secure application.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2023Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: James Zarakas, Molly Johnson, Robert Perry, Adam Koeppel, Tyler Locke

Publication number: 20240428025Abstract: A transaction card may monitor an amount of electric current induced in a first near-field communication (NFC) component of a transaction card. Electric current may be induced in the first NFC component when the first NFC component is within an electromagnetic field generated by a second NFC component of a transaction terminal. The transaction card may dynamically activate one or more output components associated with the transaction card based on the amount of electric current induced in the first NFC component. The one or more output components may indicate whether the transaction card can communicate with the transaction terminal. The transaction card may perform an action related to completing a transaction after determining that the amount of electric current induced in the NFC component satisfies a first threshold. The first threshold may indicate that the transaction card can communicate with the transaction terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2024Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: David Kelly WURMFELD, Adam KOEPPEL, Tyler LOCKE

Publication number: 20240372417Abstract: Using inductive currents to wirelessly charge a device via a device connected to a power source. This inductive charging may result when a first mobile device recognizes a second mobile device via a wireless connection (e.g., Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Near-Field Communication (NFC), or the like). An application stored on the first mobile device may recognize a second mobile device by transmitting an advertising packet when the first mobile device is connected to a power source. An advertising packet may be received by the second mobile device and the second mobile device may transmit a response to the advertising packet in order to generate a connection between the first and second mobile devices. The response may include data such as, connection strength, response time, connection preferences, and the like. Upon detection and connection, the second mobile device may be wirelessly charged by the first device via inductive charging.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2024Publication date: November 7, 2024Inventors: Adam Koeppel, Tyler Locke, David Wurmfeld

Publication number: 20240202593Abstract: Systems, methods, and programs for privately and securely providing accurate machine learning models to anonymous clients for various applications. Discrete model classes of models are trained on non-anonymous datasets at a centralized server and served to anonymous clients. Clients validate each model against its own localized datasets and retain the most accurate model. Clients improve their model locally through transfer learning on new datasets, and share the updated, anonymized parameters with a centralized computer. The centralized server aggregates and updates model parameters for each respective discrete model class. The improved models may be served to future and existing clients.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2023Publication date: June 20, 2024Inventors: Kevin Kelly, Calden Carroll, Adam Koeppel, Tyler Locke
