  • Patent number: 11966779
    Abstract: A system is provided for transfer of digital resources using an integrated resource platform. In particular, the system may comprise a networked platform that may be accessible by one or more users to access digital resources (e.g., non-fungible tokens stored on a distributed register). The platform may further display a graphical user interface through which the user may take various actions with respect to such digital resources, including the ability to view metadata associated with the resources or to transfer the resources. In this regard, the platform may integrate multiple different types of distributed registers and/or legacy computing systems such that the user may access the digital resources along with the functions associated therewith.

  • Patent number: 11902179
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for real-time distributed communication channel and multiple data processing channel selection. The present invention is configured to receive, from a first user input device via a first communication channel, a request to access resources; retrieve connectivity and routing parameters associated with the first communication channel; determine communication channel requirements associated with the request to access the resources; determine that the connectivity and routing parameters associated with the first communication channel does not meet the communication channel requirements associated with the request to access the resources; capture geographic information associated with the first user input device; determine a second communication channel available to the first user input device to access the resources; and authorize the first user input device to access the resources via the second communication channel.

  • Patent number: 11880440
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for a scheme evaluation authentication system to evaluate user action and machine learned pattern recognition for misappropriation activity prevention. In this way, bot and token deployment is utilized for identification of user actions to generate a user idiosyncrasy database. Using the database, the system creates a real-time scheme evaluation authentication for user authentication upon user attempted authentications. As such, a user may by authenticate irrespective of user inputs, but instead based on a match of user actions at the authentication location in real-time compared to the idiosyncrasy database.

  • Publication number: 20230379163
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for generation of dynamic authentication tokens for use in system-to-system transaction authorization and user identity verification. The system utilizes user biometric data to generate unique authentication tokens which are customized to a particular user. Furthermore, the system rotates not only the encryption algorithms used, but also the datasets being encrypted in order to provide a high level of security such that even if a user's biometric data was compromised, it would be highly unlikely that an attacker would be able to recreate the authentication token stemming from said biometric data at any given point in time. The system eliminates the need for user-provided authentication credentials and provides a more secure and more efficient method of authenticating data exchange between multiple systems or applications.

  • Publication number: 20230259394
    Abstract: Capabilities for resource event processing are increased at resource event processing apparatus through use of a peer-to-peer resource event processing network. The resource event processing apparatus receives an alias associated with a user of the peer-to-peer resource event processing network. In response, the resource event processing apparatus communicates a peer-to-peer resource event request to the peer-to-peer resource event network. In response to the peer-to-peer resource event network receiving and processing the request, the user’s mobile communication device receives peer-to-peer resource event acceptance request and, in response to the user providing an input to accept the peer-to-peer resource event, the mobile communication device communicates a peer-to-peer resource event confirmation to the peer-to-peer resource event network.

  • Publication number: 20230214813
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for providing data processing channels for alternative resource usage. The method includes determining a vendor data channel from potential vendor data channel(s) for processing a resource transfer with a user. The method also includes determining a vendor data channel resource value for the potential vendor data channel(s). The vendor data channel resource value is higher for a potential vendor data channel corresponding to a secondary vendor than one corresponding to the primary vendor. The method further includes adjusting a resource transfer value corresponding to the resource transfer based on the vendor data channel resource value. The method still further includes causing an execution of the resource transfer with the determined vendor data channel based on the adjusted resource transfer value in response to determining the vendor resource value is adequate to cover the adjusted resource transfer value.

  • Patent number: 11665163
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for dynamic resource interaction allocation based on geographic positioning and usage category information associated with a resource interaction system. The invention receives a base positional location and category of usage for a resource interaction system. The invention determines a set of parameters to be used for interactions having characteristics meeting the determined base positional location and category of usage information. When it receives a proposed interaction from a requesting system containing geographic information and usage category information associated with the proposed interaction, it determines whether the geographic information and usage category information associated with the proposed interaction correspond to the base positional location and category of usage for the resource interaction system.

  • Publication number: 20230033954
    Abstract: A heightened level of security is provided in a computing platform by monitoring usage of applications and/or services residing on or accessible to a computing platform to determine abnormal usage patterns. In response to determining an abnormal pattern of usage, the user is required to provide biometric data, such as voice data, facial feature data, fingerprint data or the like, as a means of authenticating the user. The abnormal pattern of usage may be determined dynamically by comparing current usage patterns to known user baseline usage patterns. Alternatively, the abnormal pattern of usage is predefined, such as the resetting of passwords in a predefined number of applications and/or services over a predefined period of time.

  • Publication number: 20230035919
    Abstract: Dynamic security queries are generated based on historical records for purposes of knowledge-based authentication. The dynamic nature of the queries and answers means that once generated, the queries and the answers are exclusively stored in temporary memory (i.e., Random Access Memory (RAM) or the like). As such, the queries and answers are permanently erased from RAM after they have been presented to the user or, at a maximum, are erased from RAM once the computing session is terminated. Moreover, since the queries/answers are determined from dynamic user-specific datasets compiled at the time of authentication, the present invention is able to generate knowledge-based queries that are not capable of identification by other parties from any level of personal record searching.
