Patent number: 10972954Abstract: A system for connection channel adaption using robotic automation is provided. The system comprising a first processing device configured to: establish a first communication channel with a user device associated with the user; receive, via the first communication channel, a first user input from the user on the user device for interacting with an entity platform; train a robotic process automation module based on the first user input, wherein the robotic process automation module is trained to execute the first user input on the entity platform via one or more communication channels; based on detecting the termination of the first communication channel, automatically establish the second communication channel with the user device; and execute the first user input on the entity platform, wherein the robotic process automation module simulates the first user input with a user interface by interacting directly with a presentation layer of the entity platform.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2020Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Gerard P. Gay, Donald Joseph Cardinal, Katherine Dintenfass, Jim McCormack, Konstantin Shushkovsky, Chris Stott, Cameron Darnell Wadley

Patent number: 10575231Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to providing connection channel adaption using robotic automation. The invention leverages a robotic process automation module to generate an operation record based on previous user device input in order to automatically recover and continue a previous interaction with an entity platform conducted over a terminated connection channel. The system automatically establishes a new connection channel upon determining the initial channel termination while retaining previous user input interaction progression within the entity platform. Further, the module may be configured to transform the user input to be compatible with the new connection channel allowing for seamless continuation of the interaction to minimize downtime.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Gerard P.

Patent number: 10162976Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting potential steganography use to hide content in computer files transmitted via electronic communications are provided. An electronic communication associated with a computer file may be identified. The communication and the computer file may be analyzed to determine whether the computer file potentially includes hidden content. To determine whether the computer file potentially includes hidden content, a set of steganographic criteria may be analyzed. If at least a portion of the steganographic criteria are satisfied, then it may be determined that the computer file potentially includes hidden content. If at least a portion of the steganographic criteria are not satisfied, then it may be determined that the computer file does not potentially include hidden content. If the computer file is determined to potentially include hidden content, an individual may be notified of the communication associated with the computer file.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2015Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Richard D. Hanner, Sr., Gwendolynne Chaperon-Dewolf, Chris Stott, Joseph Werner
