  • Patent number: 11961144
    Abstract: A user terminal for communicating with a computer server is operated on behalf of a first user (a second user terminal is operated on behalf of a second user). The user terminal transmits to the computer server pre-trade information including an order and receives first offset information that indicates a first price offset value, which is different from a second price offset value sent to the second user terminal. The terminals receive a single message from the server that indicates a market price but does not include the first price offset value or the second price offset value. The user terminal modifies the market price using the first price offset value to obtain a first actual price different from a second actual price corresponding to a modification of the market price based on the second price offset value.

  • Patent number: 11941629
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for providing instructions when receiving biometric data associated with a user. For instance, a device may detect a portion of a user, such as a hand. The device may then display a first graphical element indicating a target location for placing the portion of the user above the user-recognition device. Additionally, the device may determine locations of the portion of the user above the device. The device may then display a second graphical element indicating the locations, such as when the locations are not proximate to the target location. Additionally, the device may display instructions for moving the portion of the user to the target location. Based on detecting that the location of the portion of the user is proximate to the target location, the device may send data representing the portion of the user to a remote system.

  • Patent number: 11928681
    Abstract: A computerized method produces an identity code to identify each subject stored in the computer systems connected to a computer network while protecting the privacy and confidentiality of the subject. A central computer system receives an identity code of a suspect of a financial crime and sends the identity code to all computer systems connected to the computer network. The computer systems that have the matched identity code send the requested information to the central computer system. As a result, law enforcement organizations can eliminate crimes and financial institutions can recover the money stolen from them. In addition, law enforcement organizations and financial institutions can identify money launderers that are missed by their anti-money laundering transactional monitoring systems.
