  • Publication number: 20240095741
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for machine learning model based fraud detection of transactions are described. The method may include determining, by a fraud detection system, a first block rate of a first fraud detection machine learning model (MLM) that scores transactions of a server computer system, wherein the fraud detection system blocks a transaction when a score generated for the transaction by the first fraud detection MLM does not satisfy a first threshold value. The method may also include accessing, by the fraud detection system, a second fraud detection MLM to be used by the fraud detection system for blocking future transactions. Furthermore, the method may include determining, by the fraud detection system, a second threshold value using a set of prior transactions input into the second fraud detection MLM that results in a second block rate of the second fraud detection MLM within a predetermined margin of the first threshold.

  • Patent number: 9754018
    Abstract: At least some embodiments described herein refer to the user of a rendering interpreter that receives data object(s) from code executing within a restricted environment container (such as an IFrame). The restricted environment container prevents the code from adversely impacting the performance and consistency of the user interface system as a whole, and also prevents the code from adversely impacting the performance of code running in other restricted environment containers.

  • Patent number: 9727636
    Abstract: A hierarchy of controls and parts, that are each in accordance with constraints of a computing executing context. A control is executable code that performs a function and which may impart a visualization. A part is a unit of visualization container that has its own visualization and/or shows visualizations from one or more compliant controls associated with the part.

  • Patent number: 9672276
    Abstract: A multi-act creation user interface element that is displayed when a user instructs a computing system to initiate creation of a resource that has multiple associated creation processing acts. For each of some or all of the creation processing acts, the multi-act creation user interface element causes a set of one or more controls to appear, which the user may then enter creation information into. The multi-step creation user interface element persists creation information so entered so that the creation information is available for further creation processing acts.

  • Publication number: 20150095849
    Abstract: Dialogs within a user interface. The user interface has one or more selectable elements, the selection of each of which initiating a corresponding action. Each time that any of the elements is selected, and a corresponding action initiated, there is the potential for the user interface to display a dialog associated with the initiated action. The dialogs are displayed so as to be positioned with respect to the element whose selection caused the corresponding action to be initiated.

  • Publication number: 20150095365
    Abstract: A query building mechanism in which a query builder component assists a user in generating queries to be used to populate user interface elements. A control provides a query schema to the query builder component. The query schema identifies available query parameters that the control is capable of using to populate a corresponding user interface element. The query builder component presents at least some of the available query parameters the user, such that the user may edit these parameters. The query builder component gathers those edits and generates a query therefrom. The query parameters may be provided to the query builder component in consistent manner across a wide variety of possible user interface controls. Furthermore, the resulting query is provided in a uniform query format.

  • Publication number: 20150095812
    Abstract: Computing systems in which multiple non-context-sensitive or core commands may be initiated from each of a number of different user interface contexts. There are also multiple context-sensitive mechanism for visualizing the commands depending on which of the multiple possible user interface contexts that the commands appear. At least some embodiments described herein also related to the presentation of dialogs at various stages of the command lifecycle without the system needing to know the underlying operations of the command, and allowing the developer to specify when dialogs are to appear in that lifecycle.
