  • Patent number: 11275379
    Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus for controlling automated driving of a vehicle acquires information relating to a situation in a surrounding area of the vehicle, acquires, for each position, a first value relating to a probability that an object present in the surrounding area will be present at a future point in time, and a second value obtained based on travel data of a predetermined driver based on the information, the second values being specified using a model defined for a portion of regions through which the vehicle travels, and if the vehicle travels through a region for which a model is not defined, the second values being each specified by combining two values acquired using two models defined for two regions sandwiching the position through which the vehicle is traveling, and determines a path on which the vehicle is to move.

  • Patent number: 11269333
    Abstract: An automatic drive assist apparatus includes a storage, an own-vehicle position estimator, a route-information input device, a traveling route setter, and an automatic drive controller including a rerouting request determiner, a course comparator, and a course-change achievability determiner. The automatic drive controller causes an own vehicle automatically traveling along a traveling route determined by the traveling route setter. When the rerouting request determiner determines that a new traveling route is reconstructed in response to a rerouting request, the course comparator reads a candidate route of the new traveling route, compares the candidate route with the traveling route determined before the reconstruction, and determines whether a route change is set.

  • Patent number: 11257090
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a message processing platform for enhanced phishing message detection. A computing platform may receive a first message from a first source entity, where the first message was flagged as potentially malicious through selection of a malicious message button in a mobile banking application, and where the first message includes content from the first source entity pretending to be a second source entity different than the first source entity. Using one or more machine learning algorithms, the computing platform may parse the first message to identify the second source entity. The computing platform may identify an enterprise security system associated with the second source entity, and may generate a second message that includes the first message as an attachment and indicates that the first message was flagged as potentially malicious. Subsequently, the computing platform may send, to the enterprise security system, the second message.

  • Patent number: 11238539
    Abstract: A system and method classify insurance documents. The system and method receive a request to access documents from an assessment queue stored in a memory of a device where each of the documents contain insurance data and have an associated destination and associated metadata. The system and method convert the set of documents encoded in a first file format to a second file format to remove the metadata. The system and method partition each document of the set of documents into separate stand-alone documents and converts each of the partitioned documents into separate recognition vectors. The system and method classifies the partitioned documents through an additive learning algorithm in which routing data is embedded in second metadata and merge the classified partitioned documents. The merged documents are routed to a remote destination independent of the originally intended destination and the associated metadata.

  • Patent number: 11226952
    Abstract: A node device in a blockchain receives an asset issuance transaction from an asset issuer, where the asset issuance transaction comprises a commitment value and a proof for performing a zero-knowledge proof with respect to the commitment value, and where the commitment value is calculated by inputting at least an asset type of a target asset object issued by the asset issuer to a commitment function. The zero-knowledge proof with respect to the commitment value based on the proof is initiated. It is determined that the asset type of the target asset object is in a set of legal asset types allowed to be issued by the asset issuer. In response to determining that the asset type of the target asset object is in the set of legal asset types allowed to be issued by the asset issuer, the commitment value to the blockchain is issued for storage.

  • Patent number: 11227220
    Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically discovering data types required by a computer-based rule engine for evaluating a transaction request are presented. Multiple potential paths for evaluating the transaction request according to the rule engine are determined. An abstract syntax tree may be generated based on the rule engine to determine the multiple potential paths. Based on an initial set of data extracted from the transaction request, one or more potential paths that are determined to be irrelevant to evaluating the transaction request are identified. Types of data required to evaluate the transaction request according to the remaining potential paths are determined. Only data that corresponds to the determined types of data is retrieved to evaluate the transaction request.
