SALT LAKE CITY, Utah–BankOn Mobile Video, an interactive mobile video banking solution, said it has been issued Patent No. 9,699,406 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, protecting the company’s unique ability to display multiple screens of collaboration and video chat content to customers’ mobile devices.
"The ability to simultaneously control multiple panels within BankOn’s mobile application opens up a host of options for financial services companies,” said founder and CEO Gene Pranger, who the company said pioneered the concept of video banking in 2008 and launched BankOn Mobile Video in 2016. “While talking face-to-face with potential prospects, remotely and in real-time, financial institutions can procure signed documents, co-browse, educate and more—anytime, anywhere."
Using this newly patented process, BankOn Mobile Video said it utilizes multi-pane video communications to divide the display screen into at least two independent panes, providing video chat in the first and a display element in the second. User interaction within the second and additional panes includes the following capabilities:
- Entering input into fillable forms
- Securely capturing images of checks for deposit, as well as identification materials including drivers’ licenses and W-2 forms
- Viewing of informational videos, slideshows and documents
- Sending text-based messages
- Accepting or rejecting terms provided
- E-signing documents
