  • Patent number: 11966856
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a primary load management system configured to execute machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to generate predictions of access-right requests that are or are likely to be invalid before the access-right requests are processed for assignment to users or user devices. The present disclosure relates to systems and methods that collect a data set representing characteristics of user devices as the user devices interact with various systems of the primary load management system and train a machine-learning model to predict invalid access-right requests using the collected data set. The collected data set may include a log line that represents each user device, and each log line may be labeled based on an invalidity evaluation. New access-right requests can be processed using the trained machine-learning model to determine whether or not to assign access rights in response to the access-right request.

  • Publication number: 20240126906
    Abstract: A method for detection and use of device identifiers to enhance the security of data transfers between electronic devices. A first electronic device can transmit access data to a second electronic device. The access data can be associated with a first access code that can be generated based at least in part on data representing a device identifier of the first electronic device. A device identifier can uniquely identify the first electronic device from a plurality of electronic devices. Transferring the access data can involve transforming the first access code into a second access code that can include data representing a device identifier associated with the second electronic device. Transforming the first access code into the second access code can facilitate access to a resource associated with the access data for a second user, but not for a first user.

  • Patent number: 11921879
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to processing a request from a user device for access rights for a resource. An access management system can send a request to query a (e.g., cached or authoritative) data store for available access rights. The query may include an exact-match or fuzzy query. A set of access-right results responsive to the query can be identified. The system may transmit a communication to the user device that identifies the set, or a subset thereof. Upon receiving a selection of a result, the system can facilitate assigning access rights corresponding to the identified result to the user. In some instances, a level of precision at which a characteristic of an access-right result is identified and/or whether or how access rights are held depends on a request load.

  • Patent number: 11887264
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to using sensor data and location data from a device to generate augmented reality images. A mobile device pose can be determined (a geographic position, direction and a three dimensional orientation of the device) within a location. A type of destination in the location can be identified and multiple destinations can be identified, with the mobile device receiving queue information about the identified destinations from a server. A first image can be captured. Based on the queue information, one of the identified destinations can be selected. The geographic position of each identified destination can be identified, and these positions can be combined with the mobile device pose to generate a second image. Finally, an augmented reality image can be generated by combining the first image and the second image, the augmented reality image identifying the selected one destination.

  • Patent number: 11880752
    Abstract: Certain aspects and features of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods that generate machine-learning models to predict whether user devices are likely to meet defined objectives. For example, a machine-learning model can be generated to predict whether or not a user device is likely to access a resource. In some implementations, a semi-supervised model can be used to determine to what extent user devices are predicted to satisfy the defined objective(s). For example, a resource-affinity parameter can be generated as a result of inputting various data points into a semi-supervised model. The various data points can be access from a plurality of data sources, and can represent one or more activities or attributes associated with a user. The value of the resource-affinity parameter can be evaluated to determine the extent to which the user is likely to meet an objective.
