Patent number: 11900271Abstract: Methods and systems for using machine learning to automatically determine a data loading configuration for a computer-based rule engine are presented. The computer-based rule engine is configured to use rules to evaluate incoming transaction requests. Data of various data types may be required by the rule engine when evaluating the incoming transaction requests. The data loading configuration specifies pre-loading data associated with at least a first data type and lazy-loading data associated with at least a second data type. Statistical data such as use rates and loading times associated with the various data types may be supplied to a machine learning module to determine a particular loading configuration for the various data types. The computer-based rule engine then loads data according to the data loading configuration when evaluating a subsequent transaction request.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Srinivasan Manoharan, Vinesh Chirakkil, Jun Zhu, Christopher S. Purdum, Sahil Dahiya, Gurinder Grewal, Harish Nalagandla, Girish Sharma

Patent number: 11227220Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically discovering data types required by a computer-based rule engine for evaluating a transaction request are presented. Multiple potential paths for evaluating the transaction request according to the rule engine are determined. An abstract syntax tree may be generated based on the rule engine to determine the multiple potential paths. Based on an initial set of data extracted from the transaction request, one or more potential paths that are determined to be irrelevant to evaluating the transaction request are identified. Types of data required to evaluate the transaction request according to the remaining potential paths are determined. Only data that corresponds to the determined types of data is retrieved to evaluate the transaction request.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2017Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Srinivasan Manoharan, Sahil Dahiya, Vinesh Chirakkil, Gurinder Grewal, Harish Nalagandla, Christopher S.

Patent number: 9363237Abstract: A data transfer method performed at a proxy server includes intercepting a data request from a client computer that is directed to a target server, encrypting profile information, augmenting the data request by adding the encrypted profile information to the data request, and sending the augmented data request to the target server. A data transfer method that is performed at an information server includes receiving a data request from a proxy server, extracting profile information added to the data request by the proxy server, using the extracted profile information to generate a response, and sending the response to the proxy server.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2014Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: FACEBOOK, INC.Inventors: Larry T. Harada, Mark A. Dolecki, Christopher S Purdum, C. Hudson Hendren, III
