  • Patent number: 11620623
    Abstract: It is desirable for a merchant to not store customer PCI (Payment Card Industry) data in the merchant's system, because this would reduce cost and risk to the merchant. But the merchant still wants access to the customer primary account number (PAN) and other PCI data elements for customer authentication, customer relationship management, etc. Therefore, this specification discloses systems and methods that allow a pPOS (personal Point of Sale) device to create a mirror of the original transaction and provide that to the merchant. Then the merchant would still have access to the customer PAN and other PCI data elements, but there are no PCI or payment data in the mirror transaction, so cost and risk are reduced for the merchant.

  • Patent number: 11509464
    Abstract: An improved system implements Fitness Gradient Consensus including hash distance and bucket consensus variations within a digital blockchain by calculating the highest fitness value among competing blocks to resolve conflicts and allocate the rewards associated with building new blocks. The consensus system applies conflict resolution formulas to incentivize block-building nodes to share blocks generated, as it completes construction, to improve chances of a reward, resulting in enhanced speed and security of blockchain. The hash distance consensus utilizes a hash distance scalar value as part of its fitness metric, and the bucket consensus assigns tokens to buckets and calculates an aggregate value of the assigned tokens. A trust-but-verify variant increases transactional throughput and reduces linearity and computational constraints.

  • Patent number: 11449861
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for executing an electronic transaction using a digital wallet. One method includes receiving a guest checkout request and electronic transaction data from an electronic transaction browser. Whether a user is enrolled in the digital wallet system may be determined by the digital wallet system. The digital wallet system may authorize an electronic transaction based on the electronic transaction data upon determining the user is not enrolled in the digital wallet system. The digital wallet system may initiate a digital wallet enrollment upon authorizing the electronic transaction. The digital wallet system may store the user data in the digital wallet system and transmit a verification request to the electronic transaction browser. The digital wallet system may receive a verification response from the electronic transaction browser and may generate a digital wallet enrollment status message based on the verification response.

  • Patent number: 11429995
    Abstract: Systems, methods, articles of manufacture, and computer-readable media for verified reviews. An application may receive an indication to generate a review. An application programming interface (API) of the application may receive, from a communications interface of a contactless card, encrypted data generated by the contactless card. The API of the application may transmit, to an authentication server: the encrypted data, an indication of the application, and an identifier associated with the entity. The API of the application may receive indications specifying that the authentication server decrypted the encrypted data and determined that the contactless card was used to make a purchase with the entity. The application may permit, based on the indications received from the authentication server, generation of the review. The application may publish the review to one or more review platforms associated with the application.

  • Patent number: 11429742
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing a customer a central location to manage permissions provided to third-parties and devices to access and use customer information maintained by a financial institution are described. The central location serves as a central portal where a customer of the financial institution can manage all access to account information and personal information stored at the financial institution. Accordingly, the customer does not need to log into each individual third-party system or customer device to manage previously provided access to the customer information or to provision new access to the customer information. A user additionally is able to have user data and third-party accounts of the user deleted from devices, applications, and third-party systems via a central portal. Restrictions on how user data is used by devices, applications, and third-party systems can be imposed via a central portal.

  • Patent number: 11429952
    Abstract: A system, method and computer-readable medium for interfacing with an EMV compliant chip card having an embedded microchip. A transaction computer includes a virtual credit card terminal running in a web browser and that is in communication with an EMV card reader having a chip card slot. The virtual terminal defines a first EMV transaction and a second EMV transaction based upon user input. The virtual terminal then causes the embedded microchip of the EMV chip card to generate a first cryptogram associated with the first transaction and a second cryptogram associated with the second transaction during a contact interface session or a contactless interface session. The virtual terminal then authenticates the first and second cryptograms over a computer network with a card issuer. Once authenticated, the virtual terminal completes the first transaction and the second transaction.

  • Patent number: 11393054
    Abstract: Methods and systems for location-based mobile wallets are disclosed. A one-time mobile wallet can be established on a mobile device and associated with a travel itinerary. Device data and external data can be used with the travel itinerary to determine a travel assistance action. The location of the mobile device can be determined using GPS and/or contactless terminal data, for example. Based on the location of the mobile device and the travel itinerary, a travel assistance action can be performed. This can, for example, include presenting wallet elements to a user or automatically initiating a phone call to a service provider listed in the travel itinerary. In this way, travel assistance can vary with the location of the mobile device. After expiration of the duration, the one-time mobile wallet can be disabled.
