20130124606 | AUTOMATIC PERSONALIZATION OF DOWNLOADABLE MOBILE APPS - The present invention greatly simplifies the process of downloading and personalizing a mobile app by employing a unique code or “User ID” that associates the user with the mobile app. This User ID enables the mobile app to personalize itself automatically—i.e., without requiring the user to enter login information. To overcome the obstacle of providing the mobile app with access to the User ID, the invention existing web browser functionality is leveraged by employing a “cookie” into which the User ID is stored, and from which it is retrieved by an app server after the mobile app has been downloaded and initially launched by the user, thereby enabling the app server to provide the user with a personalized experience automatically. The app server sends the User ID to the mobile app, which stores it to enable a personalized experience whenever the user subsequently invokes the mobile app. | 05-16-2013 |
20140172610 | ACCOUNT-BASED CHECKOUT - The present invention leverages the account-creation process that necessarily precedes any account-based transaction.

Permitted combinations of ID Factors are those that comply with the account provider's security policy. Subsequently, at the time of a transaction in which a customer desires to check out items, the customer need only present an acceptable combination (i.e., one which meets the provider's security policy) of the ID Factors which have been pre-associated with the customer's account. In one embodiment, such an account-identification mechanism is coupled with a product-identification mechanism to enable a flexible and secure automated self-checkout system. | 06-19-2014 |
