Title: Interactive electronic assistant
Inventor: SHAWN GAITHER
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2016-11-04
Abstract: A method for assisting a user with completing an electronic form comprises initiating a workflow assistant based on user input of the user or a predetermined triggering event to prompt the user to complete the electronic form. The workflow assistant downloads or obtains the electronic form based on a user response and identifies a workflow based on the electronic form. The workflow identifies a sequence of user interactions to complete the electronic form. Identifying the workflow includes developing, based on fields in the electronic form, requests for content of fields from the user and possible predicted answer choices for the content of each of the fields. The workflow assistant then executes the workflow to conduct the user interactions to obtain the content for the fields of the electronic form to complete the electronic form. In certain circumstances the assistant may guide the user through an end-to-end workflow such that users with impairments (e.g. visual impairment), users using smaller devices, and/or users using devices in restricting circumstances (e.g., while driving) are enabled to perform tasks with forms that they otherwise would not be able to complete.

Title: Biometric security for electronic wallets
Inventor: XXX EL ASMAR
IPC: G06Q20/36
Filed: 2018-10-15
Abstract: A method and system for performing secure account processes in an electronic wallet wherein an authentication biometric template is divided into n authentication biometric template elements S3, wherein n is an integer great than 1 using a division algorithm. An encrypted private key 10 is decrypted using the biometric authentication template, or a registration biometric template, when a comparison of each authentication biometric template element 32 with respective registration biometric template elements 38 stored on respective matching servers 34 determines that there is a match between the authentication biometric template 40 and a registration biometric template 38. The registration biometric template elements have been divided from the registration biometric template using the division algorithm during a user account registration process. Biometric templates are iris based and the wallet is a blockchain implemented crypto-currency wallet. The divide step is performed on an electronic wallet server 30. The account processes can involve authenticating a cryptocurrency transaction and accessing secure account data. Since different access channels are required for each registration template element hacking of one channel does not compromise the entire registration template.
