Abstract

A system, method, and article of manufacture for generating a digital pass is disclosed. The method may comprise retrieving a plurality of identity attributes, and grouping a subset of identity attributes in the plurality of identity attributes to generate at least one digital pass. The method may further comprise grouping a subset of static identity attributes and a subset of dynamic identity attributes to generate a digital pass.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

authenticating, by a computer-based system for employer use of a digital pass, a digital pass user to an employer network, wherein a digital pass comprises a group of identity attributes;

tracking, by the computer-based system, the amount of time the digital pass user is logged into the employer network;

reporting, by the computer-based system, the amount of time to the employer of the digital pass user; and

transmitting, by the computer-based system, software based upon an identity attribute associated with the digital pass based upon a need of the digital pass user.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the authenticating comprises transmitting, by the computer-based system, login information to the employer network, wherein the login information is associated with a digital pass account of the digital pass user, and wherein the login information permits the employer system to authenticate the digital pass user to a user account hosted by the employer system.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising saving to the employer network, by the computer-based system, a workstation address from which the digital pass user is authenticated.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising transmitting, by the computer-based system, a location of the workstation to another digital pass user.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting to the digital pass user, by the computer-based system, at least one of:

a calendar, software, and data.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein at least one of:

the software and the data are transmitted based upon an anticipated need of the digital pass user.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, by the computer-based system, a transaction request associated with a corporate transaction account;

transmitting, by the-computer-based system, the transaction request to a transaction processing system;

receiving, by the computer-based system, a confirmation from the transaction processing system; and

transmitting, by the computer-based system, the confirmation to a device associated with the digital pass user.

8. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system for employer use of a digital pass, cause the computer-based system to perform operations comprising:

authenticating, by the computer-based system, a digital pass user to an employer network, wherein a digital pass comprises a group of identity attributes;

tracking, by the computer-based system, the amount of time the digital pass user is logged into the employer network;

reporting, by the computer-based system, the amount of time to the employer of the digital pass user; and

transmitting, by the computer-based system, software based upon an identity attribute associated with the digital pass based upon a need of the digital pass user.

9. The article of claim 8, wherein the authenticating comprises transmitting, by the computer-based system, login information to the employer network, wherein the login information is associated with a digital pass account of the digital pass user, and wherein the login information permits the employer system to authenticate the digital pass user to a user account hosted by the employer system.

10. The article of claim 8, further comprising saving to the employer network, by the computer-based system, a workstation address from which the digital pass user is authenticated.

11. The article of claim 10, further comprising transmitting to another digital pass user, by the computer-based system, a location of the workstation.

12. The article of claim 8, further comprising transmitting to the digital pass user, by the computer-based system, at least one of:

a calendar, software, and data.

13. The article of claim 12, wherein at least one of the software and the data are transmitted based upon an anticipated need of the digital pass user.

14. The article of claim 8, further comprising:

receiving, by the computer-based system, a transaction request associated with a corporate transaction account;

transmitting, by the-computer-based system, the transaction request to a transaction processing system;

receiving, by the computer-based system, a confirmation from the transaction processing system; and

transmitting, by the computer-based system, the confirmation to a device associated with the digital pass user.

15. A system comprising:

a tangible, non-transitory memory communicating with a processor for employer use of a digital pass,

the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising;

authenticating, by the processor, a digital pass user to an employer network, wherein a digital pass comprises a group of identity attributes;

tracking, by the processor, the amount of time the digital pass user is logged into the employer network;

reporting, by the processor, the amount of time to the employer of the digital pass user; and

transmitting, by the processor, software based upon an identity attribute associated with the digital pass based upon a need of the digital pass user.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the authenticating comprises transmitting, by the processor, login information to the employer network, wherein the login information is associated with a digital pass account of the digital pass user, and wherein the login information permits the employer system to authenticate the digital pass user to a user account hosted by the employer system.

17. The system of claim 15, further comprising saving to the employer network, by the processor, a workstation address from which the digital pass user is authenticated.

18. The system of claim 17, further comprising transmitting to another digital pass user, by the processor, a location of the workstation.

19. The system of claim 15, further comprising transmitting to the digital pass user, by the processor, at least one of:

a calendar, software, and data.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein at least one of:

the software and the data are transmitted based upon an anticipated need of the digital pass user.
