  • Patent number: 11878699
    Abstract: A system may include sensors that may acquire health data related to an individual. The system may also include a processor that may receive trip data associated with a current location of the individual and a destination location for the individual, traffic condition data associated with routes between the current location and the destination location, and weather related data associated with the routes. The processor may also receive the health data from the sensors and determine whether the individual is associated with a driver assessment score above a threshold based on the trip data, the traffic condition data, the weather data, the health data, or any combination thereof. The processor may then send an activation signal to a vehicle control system in response to the driver assessment score being above the threshold, such that the activation signal may enable the vehicle control system to control operations of a vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240004943
    Abstract: A data correlation and presentation system is provided herein. Machine learning is used to identify correlations in data received from disparate electronic services. Corelated data objects are generated based upon the identified correlations and the corelated data objects are provided in a combined characteristics output, enabling downstream reporting systems to report the correlations with very little processing resource utilization.

  • Patent number: 11810413
    Abstract: An enrollment data management system includes one or more processors and memory storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to receive sensor data from one or more sensors located at a property, wherein the sensor data indicates a plurality of individual detection events that each indicate presence of an individual at the property. The instructions are executable by the one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to analyze the sensor data to determine that the property qualifies as a residence of the individual, access information relevant to the property from one or more databases, utilize the information relevant to the property as enrollment information for an enrollment process for the individual.

  • Patent number: 11799933
    Abstract: System and methods for pre-fetching data are provided. In one embodiment, an electronic device includes communications circuitry communicatively coupled to a data provider system over a network to obtain streaming data for completion of tasks. The electronic device also includes pre-fetch circuitry that identifies a dead zone in the network; calculates a pre-fetch data size amount based at least in part upon a size of the dead zone; and requests the pre-fetch data size amount of the data, to mitigate lost streaming ability in the dead zone.

  • Patent number: 11789595
    Abstract: A customer management system can be designed to provide an integrated smart graphical user interface. For example, a computing device can receive information that includes a topic of conversation for a chat-based communication; initiate, via a first graphical user interface (GUI), the chat-based communication with another computing device after the information is received, display, via a second GUI, the user profile associated with the person, wherein the second GUI is displayed adjacent to and integrated with the first GUI; determine a relationship between one or more words or phrases received via the first GUI from the first computing device and the additional information in the user profile, where the relationship is determined in real-time or near real-time as the one or more words or phrases are received; and display a visual indicator in the second GUI that shows content in the second GUI that is relevant to the determined relationship.

  • Patent number: 11704398
    Abstract: A real-world object-based method and system of performing an authentication of a person in order to permit access to a secured resource is disclosed. The system and method are configured to collect image data from an end-user in real-time that includes objects in their environment. At least one object is selected and its image data stored for subsequent authentication sessions, when the system can determine whether there is a match between the new image data and image data previously collected and stored in a database. If there is a match, the system verifies an identity of the person and can further be configured to automatically grant the person access to one or more services, features, or information for which he or she is authorized.

  • Patent number: 11055711
    Abstract: A payment card security system includes a payment card provider account system communicatively coupled to a payment card transaction device and a mobile device. The payment card transaction device sends an indication that a payment card is being used to perform a transaction. The payment card provider account system includes processors that receive the indication that the payment card is being used to perform the transaction from the payment card transaction device. The processors also send a notification indicating that the payment card is being used to perform the transaction. The processors further enable authorization of the transaction via the mobile device. In this manner, the payment card security system may prevent or reduce the occurrence of suspicious transactions as they are occurring, rather than waiting until after they have occurred.
