Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to one embodiment, a system includes a memory comprising instructions, an interface, and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the interface. The interface is configured to receive token usage information for one or more tokens. The processor is configured, when executing the instructions, to determine one or more characteristics of the token usage information for a particular token of the one or more tokens, and generate, based on the determined characteristics, one or more notifications to a first user device associated with the particular token.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A system, comprising: a memory comprising instructions; an interface configured to: receive token usage information for one or more tokens; and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the interface, the processor configured, when executing the instructions, to: determine one or more characteristics of the token usage information for a particular token of the one or more tokens; and generate, based on the determined characteristics, one or more notifications to a first user device associated with the particular token. 2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more characteristics comprise merchants at which the particular token was used to complete transactions. 3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more characteristics comprise products for which the particular token was used to complete transactions. 4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more characteristics comprise transactions for which the token was denied. 5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises a short message system (SMS) text message. 6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises an electronic mail message. 7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more notifications are generated to a second user device associated with the particular token. 8 . A method, comprising: receiving token usage information for one or more tokens; determine one or more characteristics of the token usage information for a particular token of the one or more tokens; and generate, based on the determined characteristics, one or more notifications to a first user device associated with the particular token. 9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more characteristics comprise merchants at which the particular token was used to complete transactions. 10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more characteristics comprise products for which the particular token was used to complete transactions. 11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more characteristics comprise transactions for which the token was denied. 12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the notification comprises a short message system (SMS) text message. 13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the notification comprises an electronic mail message. 14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more notifications are generated to a second user device associated with the particular token. 15 . A computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are configured, when executed by a processor, to: receive token usage information for one or more tokens; determine one or more characteristics of the token usage information for a particular token of the one or more tokens; and generate, based on the determined characteristics, one or more notifications to a first user device associated with the particular token. 16 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more characteristics comprise merchants at which the particular token was used to complete transactions. 17 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more characteristics comprise products for which the particular token was used to complete transactions. 18 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more characteristics comprise transactions for which the token was denied. 19 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the notification comprises a short message system (SMS) text message. 20 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the notification comprises an electronic mail message.
