Aspects of the present disclosure provide a monitoring algorithm that ensures that each step of an automated virtual machine reclamation process executes correctly before moving on to the next step. After each step of the process, some implementations can determine whether the resulting data is correct. If the resulting data is incorrect, some implementations can initially revert any fields updated by the process to their correct value. Some implementations can further decide whether to resubmit the virtual machine for reclamation automatically, or queue it for manual review based on, for example, multiple or repeated failures, server or data center failures, etc. Thus, some implementations can not only automate each step of the reclamation process, but also provide process evaluation and error detection for the reclamation process.

Abstract

A gaze detection and application system can determine gaze points for user gazes, determine the contexts of gaze points, and customize contents on display devices, such as by making them visible. The gaze detection and application system can use camera devices to determine a display point (the “gaze point”) corresponding to where a user is currently gazing at in real-time on a display device. In some implementations, the gaze detection and application system can determine whether the gaze point is in proximity to sensitive contents hidden on the display device. The gaze detection and application system can identify subjects within a camera frame and can determine whether the identified subjects are permitted to access the sensitive contents. If the subjects are permitted, then the gaze detection and application system can make the sensitive contents visible on the display device.

Abstract

Some implementations of the technology relate to anonymizing personally identifiable information (PII) by creating a quick response (QR) code linked to a website that can verify that driver's license information and insurance information of a driver is available and valid, without showing the PII itself. Some implementations can allow another driver in an automobile accident to scan the QR code, enter her own insurance information, and can push the driver's PII to her insurance company. Some implementations can allow the other driver to download an encrypted file with the PII that can be shared with his insurance company. The QR code can be used in other contexts outside of automobile accidents as well, such as when a driver wishes to test drive a car, rent a car, buy a new car, etc., and needs to provide proof of a valid driver's license and insurance coverage.

Abstract

Implementations ingest records across multiple accounts hosted by different service providers and augment the records with metadata. For example, ingesting can include processing the records to identify transactions in the records and to discover additional aspects of the transactions. In some implementations, metadata can be used to augment the identified transactions in the records, where metadata can include a category, a digital receipt, a user tag such as a geotag, and other suitable metadata. The ingesting and augmenting the records can populate a coordination data structure with identified transactions and their associated data elements. These identified transactions can then be queried and a result set of transactions that span the different user accounts can be returned. In some implementations, the transactions can be queried using the augmented metadata, or other suitable pieces of information for the transactions.

Abstract

A call processing system and method for processing calls from high volume callers. A frequency of call activity is monitored for callers to determine reception of a call from a high frequency caller. When a call is received from such a caller, provided is information predicted to be requested from the caller prior to the caller being voice connected to a company representative. The retrieved information is then provided to a company representative prior to the caller being voice connected with a company representative as to expedite the call. Additionally, a customized message for the high frequency caller may be generated prior to the caller being voice connected with a company representative whereby the customized message contains information predicted to be responsive to a predicted inquiry from the determined high frequency caller to mitigate the need to connect the caller to a company representative.

Abstract

Techniques are described for real time monitoring and tagging of media content generated during a service session between an individual and a service representative (SR). Media content received during a service session may be dynamically tagged with one or more metadata tags during the service session, the tag(s) indicating portion(s) of the media content that potentially include sensitive information. Tagging may be based on a SR's gestures, clicks, keystrokes, mouse-overs, and/or other actions performed in a SR user interface (UI) during the service session. The media content may be redacted based on the tags to remove and/or obfuscate potentially sensitive information.

Abstract

A method and system of providing users with microlocation-specific configuration modes during access of an application. The system identifies tokens based on sensor data during each application access session and triggers the change in configuration based on detection of specific tokens associated with a particular microlocation. The various configuration modes can be used to alter audio, display, and other settings for the application.

Abstract

Illustrated herein are systems and methods of transferring physical currency into electronic credit that becomes electronically available. One method includes remotely and quickly depositing non-negotiable instruments, such as cash, by communicating information, such as an image of the currency, about the instrument to a depositor. An exemplary system includes computing devices and a capture module with a retrieval engine, a transmission engine, an inspection engine, and a conferral engine. The capture module receives information about a non-negotiable instrument, and an inspection engine analyzes the information to confirm if the unit of currency is authentic.

Abstract

A system for receiving cash deposits at a point of sale includes a processor; a product inventory database; a communication interface; a product inventory item reader; and a purchase instrument reader. The processor is configured to receive a product code from the product inventory item reader; access the product inventory database to recognize the product code as a deposit product code; receive signals indicating an amount of a deposit associated with the deposit product code; receive signals from the purchase instrument reader identifying an account for the deposit; and send signals to a transaction processing network via the communication interface to thereby effect the deposit of the amount into the account.
