Techniques are disclosed relating to the modification of user account functionality based on a physical state of a mobile device. For example, in some embodiments, a mobile device may detect one or more physical states associated with the device. The mobile device may compare the one or more physical states to a set of rules for a user account associated with a user, where a given one of the set of rules specifies one or more functionalities, of the user account, to modify in response to one or more of the rules being satisfied. Further, in response to the one or more physical states satisfying a first rule of the set of rules, the mobile device may send, to a server system associated with the user account, a request to modify one or more functionalities associated with the user account.

Modification of user account functionality based on a physical state of a mobile device

A system is provided for voice activated remittances. The system may perform operations that include receiving at least one audio stream corresponding to a real-time voice communication between a first user and a second user and identifying, based on the at least one audio stream, a set of words. The operation may also include determining that the set of words indicates a desired payment transaction between the first user and the second user and determining a payment amount to be remitted from the first user to the second user. Further the operations may include causing the payment amount to be remitted from a first financial account corresponding to the first user to a second financial account corresponding to the second user.

Voice activated remittances

There are provided systems and methods for shared application interface data through a device-to-device communication session. A user may utilize a device to engage in an electronic communication session with another user, such as a shared messaging or video chat session. During the session, the user may utilize another application on the same device to perform separate application data processing, such as accessing a website or an online marketplace that may include interface output data. The user may activate a plug-in or add-on that may allow application data sharing for current application data in the separate application during the communication session. The device may determine the present application data, such as a displayable instance of the current interface data, and may transmit the data to the other user's device through the communication session. Further, the plug-in may allow for split transaction and data processing.

Shared application interface data through a device-to-device communication session

There are provided systems and methods for text processing of message data for item query submission. A computing device may receive message data from a messaging application, such as a text message or email. A user may utilize an input device to select or highlight a portion of the message data as text input, and utilize an application plug-in and menu from a service provider to communicate the text input to the service provider. A service provider may determine a query on a preferred merchant platform using the input. An item may be determined using the query and a platform. The service provider may then generate user interface data for the messaging application that causes the text input to output item data for the item within the application. The computing device may navigate to the merchant platform through the item data.

Text processing of message data for item query submission

Disclosed are systems, mediums, and methods of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) delivery system. The system controls and manages UAVs for delivering packages. The system receives a drop off location for a package and instructs a UAV to navigate to the drop off location with the package. The system notifies a recipient of the package delivery through a device of the recipient, and in response to receiving one or more responses to the notification, causes the UAV to allow access to the package being delivered.

Systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for improving ease in initiating information transfers between devices. A user of a communications device accesses an image of a target recipient. With that recipient in view in the image, the user selects the portion of the screen where the recipient is displayed in the image. Pattern recognition is performed to extract one or more features of the selected portion of the screen as a recognized pattern. That recognized pattern is compared against multiple stored patterns that are associated with contacts in contact lists and/or other types of databases. Once a match is found, the user is prompted to confirm the identified recipient corresponding to the matching pattern and the data to transfer. Once confirmed, the data transfer is initiated based on the automatically determined recipient information.

Enhanced data transfer initiation using image recognition

There are provided systems and methods for location-based embedded patterns for vehicle detection and data processing. A user's device, which may be connected to or associated with a vehicle may include a directional camera capable of capturing images in a direction for a directional perspective of the vehicle, such as a front, side, or back. The image captured may have an embedded pattern or code that is associated with data that may decoded or retrievable using the embedded pattern. The vehicle's device may utilize the code to determine the data and may activate a process for an application based on the data. In some embodiments, the data may also be loaded to the process or may cause the process to load or retrieve other data. The vehicle's device may utilize the process based on a location of the vehicle, as well as services provided at the location.

Location-based embedded patterns for vehicle detection and data processing

Methods and systems for machine-readable codes that provide different information in response to different context and/or that age are disclosed herein. The codes described herein may be configured to provide different information depending on the age of the code, the day that the code was scanned, how the code was handled, and/or other factors. The code may include features that indicate an age of the code and the message determined by scanning the code may be different depending on the age of the code.

Contextual machine readable codes

Systems and methods for an authentication system include determining that a first user device is located within a vehicle, where the first user device is associated with a first user. Vehicle authentication information is received from the vehicle. A vehicle account associated with the vehicle is authenticated using the vehicle authentication information. First transportation information associated with the vehicle is received from the vehicle. A user authentication configuration is determined based on the vehicle account and the first transportation information. A user account of the first user for the first user device is authenticated based on the first transportation information according to the user authentication configuration.
