  • Patent number: 11677706
    Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating and displaying subject-specific compliance standard information are provided. A first message is received from a subject. An automated human interface module responsively engages with the subject through a communication channel. The module includes a node graph. Each node in a first subset of nodes is associated with a predetermined compliance question, or in a second subset of nodes is associated with a respective compliance standard. A message received responsive to the automated human interface module progresses the subject in the node graph, and this is process is repeated until the subject progresses to a node in the second subset. The subject, through this progression, satisfies a first requirement to receive a corresponding benefit of a compliance standard associated with the respective node. Responsive to this progression, a report is generated that includes an expected availability of the benefit corresponding to the progressed node.

  • Patent number: 11606319
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for intelligent analysis of digital symbols for message content determination. A user may engage in messaging with another user, such as using a messaging platform that may include electronic transaction processing through a service provider. The service provider may have compliance rules, such as to avoid illegal, fraudulent, or otherwise noncompliant electronic transaction processing. In this regard, messaging between users may be analyzed to detect noncompliant messaging and activities by users on the service provider's platforms. The messages may include graphical images or icons, which may be converted to text so that plain text of the message may be analyzed. This may be done through a mapping of images-to-text, as well as an artificial intelligence model train to convert images into text. Thereafter, the plain text may be analyzed to determine if the message violates any compliance rules.

  • Patent number: 11551188
    Abstract: Systems and methods for scheduling appointments are provided. This scheduling process includes generating an introductory message proposing an appointment with the target with a request for timing. The target responds, and this response is processed for a positive interest and the presence of a proposed time. If there is an absence of positive interest then the messaging may be discontinued. However, in the presence of a positive interest, and a proposed time from the target, the system may access an external scheduling system when a proposed time is present. This includes determining availability of at least one resource at the proposed time. The system then iteratively provides suggested times close to the proposed time when the resource is not available for the proposed time. The system then confirms the appointment when the resource is available for either the proposed time or any of the suggested times.

  • Patent number: 11546285
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide a flexible environment for intelligently scoring transactions from data sources. An example method includes providing a user interface configured to generate a rubric by receiving selection of one or more one or more conditions, each condition identifying a tag generated by a classifier in the library of classifiers and for each identified tag, receiving selection of a value for the tag that satisfies the condition and receiving selection of an outcome attribute for the condition. The outcome attribute may be a weight for the tag or an alert condition. The method includes storing the rubric in a data store and applying the stored rubric to scoring units of a transaction. The method also includes aggregating scores for transactions occurring during a trend period and displaying the trend score. In some implementations, at least one classifier in the library is a rule-based classifier defined by a user.

  • Patent number: 11521220
    Abstract: In an approach for monitoring data usage in an IoT network, a processor identifies a set of IoT devices. A processor collects a set of baseline readings for the set of IoT devices. A processor collects a set of IoT data from the set of IoT devices as a user answers a survey question. A processor compares the set of baseline readings to the set of IoT data. A processor derives an emotional state of the user while answering the survey question. A processor builds a CART model using the set of baseline readings, the set of IoT data, and a set of survey data. A processor applies the emotional state as a weight to the CART model. A processor outputs the weighted CART model.
