20220277287 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING SECURE PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS - Method and System for Facilitating Secure Payment Transactions A method for facilitating payment transactions includes receiving, by a server, a flash code request indicative of a transaction amount. A flash code associated with the transaction amount is communicated by the server to the payer device. The flash code is encoded into a flash pattern at the payer device and communicated to a payee device of a payee for executing a payment transaction between the payer and the payee. A first request for the payment transaction is received by the server from the payee device. The first request includes the flash code obtained by decoding the flash pattern at the payee device. The flash code included in the first request is validated by the server. Based on successful validation of the flash code, the transaction amount is deducted from a payer account of the payer and credited to a payee account of the payee. | 2022-09-01 |
20220277288 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISPLAYING PAYMENT DEVICE SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS - Some embodiments of the invention provide a convenient system and method of displaying payment device specific functions. In other words, systems and methods are provided that allow different functions to be displayed and used for different payment devices provisioned on a communication device. These embodiments allow users to perform certain allowed functions on one payment device, and other, potentially different functions on another payment device. | 2022-09-01 |
20220277289 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT - The system provides a method and apparatus for initiating and completing a financial transaction from within an app, application, interface, email, ad, or the like, including social media apps, with very few steps. The system is agnostic as to merchant or advertiser, and allows a user to establish a single account that can be used for quick purchases across multiple platforms and promotional streams. The system is not limited to mobile devices but may be used in any computing environment. In a case of first time use, the system streamlines the account creation process by scraping required account data of the user from available sources. Any missing information may be requested at the time of account creation, or, if not immediately required, may be deferred to a later time. Subsequent interactions and purchases will be accomplished within the app and can be done in just a few clicks. | 2022-09-01 |
20220277290 | ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY GENERATING RESOURCE DISTRIBUTIONS BASED ON SMS-BASED INSTRUCTIONS USING MACHINE LEARNING - Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for automatically generating resource distributions. The present invention may be configured to receive a text-based instruction and parse, using a machine learning model, the text-based instruction to generate a structured resource distribution including predicted distribution elements. The present invention may be configured to generate, based on the structured resource distribution, a resource distribution. In some embodiments, the text-based instruction may include an email message, an SMS message, recorded speech converted to text, text input to a chat function, text recognized in an image, and/or the like. | 2022-09-01 |
20220277291 | ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY GENERATING RESOURCE DISTRIBUTIONS BASED ON SMS-BASED INSTRUCTIONS USING MACHINE LEARNING - Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for automatically generating resource distributions. The present invention may be configured to receive a text-based instruction and determine, based on the text-based instruction, a sender alias from which the text-based instruction was sent. The present invention may be configured to determine, based on user data in a user information data structure, a user associated with the sender alias, determine, based on user data associated with the user in the user information data structure and based on predicted distribution elements from a machine learning model, actual distribution elements, and generate, based on the actual distribution elements, a resource distribution. | 2022-09-01 |
20220277292 | WEARABLE TRANSACTION DEVICE - A wearable transaction device may include a housing, a fastener component attached to the housing, and an electronic chip secured within the housing. The wearable transaction device may detect a connection with a user device, and receive, from the user device and via the connection, security information for operating the wearable transaction device. The security information may indicate one or more conditions for placing the wearable transaction device in a payment mode or a non-payment mode. The wearable transaction device may receive a request to perform the transaction, and determine, based on the security information, whether the wearable transaction device is in the payment mode or the non-payment mode. The wearable transaction device may selectively perform the transaction based on whether the wearable transaction device is in the payment mode or the non-payment mode. | 2022-09-01 |
20220277293 | MODIFYING A USER INTERFACE TO MAKE A CARD ASSOCIATED WITH AN ENTITY AVAILABLE AT A RELEVANT TIME - In some implementations, a device may detect that the web page is associated with an exchange associated with an entity. The device may transmit, to a server, web page information that identifies at least one of the entity associated with the web page, or an amount of the exchange associated with the entity. The device may receive, from the server, presentation information that identifies card information for one or more cards that are associated with the entity.
