Publication number: 20220164814Abstract: Provided herein are system, apparatus, device, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for generating instant pricing structures. In a given embodiment, a server receives a request to generate sets of instant pricing structure data objects for a vehicle. The server identifies a set of attributes associated with the dealer. For each attribute of the set of attributes, the server identifies a parameter corresponding to a given attribute of the set of attributes and determines a threshold for the parameter. Furthermore, the server generates a set of instant pricing structure data objects of the requested set of instant pricing structure data objects by adjusting a value for the parameter by an incremental amount within the threshold while maintaining each instant pricing structure data object of the set within constraints of a user-provided input and the policy of the lender.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2020Publication date: May 26, 2022Applicant: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Saman BAGHESTANI, Veerendra JOTE, Brandon DRUMHELLER, Andrew BALDWIN

Patent number: 10970670Abstract: Yard management systems and methods are described. A yard management system comprises a database holding load information, a mobile application associated with a user account and executable on a mobile device. The mobile application when executed acquires the identifications of the load, queries the database for the load information, and generates a machine-readable representation corresponding to the identifications of the load, an autonomous yard vehicle configured to mechanically couple with a cargo trailer. The system further comprises a computing system programmed to, in response to detecting the mobile device at the transfer location, navigate to the cargo trailer and guide the coupling between the autonomous yard vehicle and the cargo trailer.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Blake Andrew Baldwin, Jimmy Easter, Adam Cline, Joseph Courtland Halbrook, John S.

Patent number: 10860466Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, computer-readable media and apparatuses for testing executable code in sensitive-information domains are provided. A synthetic data set is received, where the synthetic data set includes generated subjects and corresponding information associated with the generated subjects. An active data set is received, where the active data set includes active subjects and corresponding information associated with the active subjects. The corresponding information associated with the active subjects includes sensitive information requiring privacy protection. The synthetic data set and the active data set are compared using an algorithm to identify the generated subjects that produce decisioning outcomes similar to decisioning outcomes of the active data set. A testing data set is generated by selecting the generated subjects identified using the algorithm and corresponding information associated with the identified generated subjects.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2020Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventor: Andrew Baldwin

Publication number: 20200233932Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to a simulation platform. The simulation platform may capture, audit, and/or store production data associated with a current production system. A virtual replica or copy of the of the current production system may be generated based on the production data. The simulation platform may receive one or more proposed modifications or changes to the current production system. Based on the proposal, a modified production system may be generated. Parallel simulations may be run on the virtual replica of the current production system and the modified production system, where analysis is performed on the simulations (and their respective outputs) and a result of the analysis is output to a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2019Publication date: July 23, 2020Applicant: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Vikramaditya REPAKA, Andrew BALDWIN, Renu RAI, Mohammed ISHAQ
