Publication number: 20210295859Abstract: This specification describes computer-implemented methods and systems. One method includes receiving, by a neural network of a speech recognition system, first data representing a first raw audio signal and second data representing a second raw audio signal. The first raw audio signal and the second raw audio signal describe audio occurring at a same period of time. The method further includes generating, by a spatial filtering layer of the neural network, a spatial filtered output using the first data and the second data, and generating, by a spectral filtering layer of the neural network, a spectral filtered output using the spatial filtered output. Generating the spectral filtered output comprises processing frequency-domain data representing the spatial filtered output. The method still further includes processing, by one or more additional layers of the neural network, the spectral filtered output to predict sub-word units encoded in both the first raw audio signal and the second raw audio signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Ehsan Variani, Kevin William Wilson, Ron J.

Publication number: 20210243194Abstract: A system and method of establishing a resource provider as a trusted listing are disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a directory server computer, an indication from a user that a resource provider is trusted. The directory server computer is programmed to provide a first level of authentication. The method then includes storing, in a database, data representing the indication from the user that the resource provider is trusted. The method then includes receiving an authentication request message from the user conducting an interaction at the resource provider computer and determining that the data representing the indication from the user that the resource provider is trusted is present. In response to determining, the method includes providing a second level of authentication to the user before the user is allowed to complete the interaction. The second level of authentication is lower than the first level.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2019Publication date: August 5, 2021Applicant: Visa International Service AssociationInventors: Mark NELSEN, David William WILSON, Guido MANGIAGALLI, Anjana Neera SURIN, Sayeed MOHAMMED, Alan JOHNSON, Phillip LAVENDER, Glenn POWELL

Patent number: 11062298Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for controlling a contactless interface on a dual interface portable device are provided. The methods allow for contactless enablement and disablement on both a temporary and semi-permanent basis, dependent on commands sent to the device by an issuer of the portable device. The commands are received through a terminal device and are transferred to the portable device during a contact transaction. Configuration data on the portable device is modified according to the received commands. An application on the portable device controls the transmission of data through the contactless interface dependent on the configuration data.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Visa International Service AssociationInventors: David William Wilson, Omar Rifaat, Hao Ngo

Patent number: 11030608Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for processing payment transactions that are conducted using a mobile device that includes a contactless element, such as an integrated circuit chip. An account holder is enabled to generate transaction related data and append that data to a transaction record or transaction identifier. The appended data and transaction record or identifier may be stored in the mobile payment device and/or provided to an Issuer. If provided to an Issuer, the transaction related data generated by the account holder may be used to supplement an account statement. The additional information generated by the account holder may be used to assist the account holder in determining if a transaction is valid by providing information that helps the account holder to recall the location or other aspect of the transaction.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2019Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: VISA INTERNATIONAL SERVICE ASSOCIATIONInventors: Christian Aabye, Hao Ngo, David William Wilson, Guido Mangiagalli

Publication number: 20200356975Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for processing payment transactions that are conducted using a mobile device that includes a contactless element, such as an integrated circuit chip. The invention enables the updating, correction or synchronization of transaction data maintained by an Issuer with that stored on the device. This is accomplished by using a wireless (cellular) network as a data communication channel for data provided by an Issuer to the mobile device, and is particularly advantageous in circumstances in which the contactless element is not presently capable of communication with a device reader or point of sale terminal that uses a near field communications mechanism. Data transferred between the mobile device and Issuer may be encrypted and decrypted to provide additional security and protect the data from being accessed by other users or applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2020Publication date: November 12, 2020Inventors: Christian Aabye, Hao Ngo, David William Wilson, Gustavo Mariath Zeiden, Chris Pitchford, Kiushan Pirzadeh
