  • Patent number: 11887187
    Abstract: A streamline banking system includes a customer kiosk having a photographic element and a processor. The processor is programmed to capture an image with the photographic element and determine that the captured image comprises an image of a machine-readable code. The processor decodes the machine-readable code and extracts customer financial account data therefrom. The customer financial account data is associated with one or more financial institutions. The processor retrieves information associated with one or more financial product offerings offered by the financial institutions. Each of the financial institutions is presented to a customer along with the respective financial accounts and the respective financial product offerings. The customer selects one or more of the financial accounts and the financial product offerings. The customer kiosk then transmits to the customer service computing system the customer selection.

  • Patent number: 11354762
    Abstract: A wallet provider (WP) computing device is provided for extending a digital passport object stored in a digital wallet. The WP computing device includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The processor is programmed to receive an augmentation request associated with the digital passport object from a requesting user device, retrieve an augmentation template and trusted authentication data based at least in part on the augmentation request, generate an augmentation package associated with the digital passport object, transmit an authentication request to an authenticating user device, receive an authentication response from the user device, determine an authentication evaluation of the augmentation package associated with the digital passport object, and transmit the updated augmentation package to the sponsoring authority.

  • Patent number: 10891683
    Abstract: A delivery service (DS) computing device for item purchase and delivery is provided. The DS computing device displays a searchable interface that enables a user to select at least one merchant. The DS computing device receives at least one selected merchant location from the user, displays item data of the at least one selected merchant location, and receives cart data from the user. The DS computing device receives, from the user, a selection of a selected carrier, and transmits the cart data to the selected carrier. The DS computing device generates a secure virtual account number for the selected carrier. The secure virtual account number provides access to purchase funds for use, by the selected carrier, in purchasing the selected item. The DS computing device processes a payment transaction for the at least one selected item that includes the purchase funds and a delivery service fee.

  • Patent number: 10403074
    Abstract: A mobile computing device for transmitting token data to a key card reading device having an activation mechanism is provided. The computing device is programmed to receive token data representing access data of a key card, generate a transmission signal representing the access data of the key card based on the token data in response to receiving the token data, and output the transmission signal to the key card reading device. The access data causes the key card reading device to activate the activation mechanism. The transmission signal causes the key card reading device to activate the activation mechanism when the mobile computing device is placed near the key card reading device and the transmission signal is authenticated by the key card reading device.
