  • Patent number: 10460383
    Abstract: A network communication interface and a memory device storing an anomaly application and a resource application are provided. A processing device is operatively coupled to the memory device, wherein the processing device is configured to execute computer-readable program code to: determine the existence of an anomalous situation for a user; initiate the anomaly application to acquire aggregated metrics from third parties associated with the anomalous situation; and analyze the anomalous situation using the aggregated information. The aggregated metrics may be obtained from the entity system and/or from a third party system. The aggregated metrics may comprise the historical financial record of a plurality of third parties. The aggregated metrics may be obtained by searching a datastore of the entity system for relevant information from a historical record of unrelated individuals.

  • Patent number: 10334026
    Abstract: In response to receiving a request from a user to initiate a new resource pool, a determination of a purpose of the new resource pool is made. The system may receive the purpose of the resource pool from the user and thereafter access user data regarding types of resource pools owned by the user and other users and the allocation of resources therein. The system identifies suggested resource pools and/or resource pool allocations to present to the user at the time the user initiates the new resource pool. The systems may receive a selected resource pool from the user, and begin initiate the new resource pool. Determining the purpose of the new resource pool, and allocations therefor at the time the resource pool is initiated, improves processing since the processors open the desired resource pool and allocate resources at the time of initiating the new resource pool.

  • Patent number: 10127400
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a control device for aggregation of machine-initiated resource distribution. The invention is a control device that links user associated smart devices. The control device generates code to extract data from the smart devices and control the communications disseminated from and received by the smart device from third parties. In this way, the control device prevents smart devices from communicating with third party systems and from third party systems from communicating directly with the smart devices. Thus, fixing the technical challenges within a current network including the need to consolidate and aggregate data across smart devices associated with the user, the need to control and manage the flow of data packets from smart devices to third parties (privacy, filtering, protection), and the need to easily track and refresh an inventory of smart devices.

  • Patent number: 10116582
    Abstract: In response to receiving a request from a user to initiate a new resource pool, a determination of a purpose of the new resource pool is made. The system identifies suggested resource allocations for the new resource pool, as well as suggested modifications for current resource pools of a user, and presents both to the user. The suggested resource allocations are determined based on the purpose of the new resource pool and user data associated with the user or other users. The user selects suggested resource allocations for the new resource pool and current resource pools. The processing systems initiate the selected resource allocation and/or the suggested modifications selected by the user at the time of initiating the new resource pool, and thus reduces the processing requirements for processing resource allocations since the allocations occur at the initiation of the new resource pool.
