  • Patent number: 11223884
    Abstract: A playback application is configured to dynamically generate topology for an interactive media title. The playback application obtains an initial topology and also collects various data associated with a user interacting with the feature. The playback application then modifies the initial topology, based on the collected data, to generate a dynamic topology tailored to the user. The dynamic topology describes the set of choices available to the user during playback as well as which options can be selected by the user when making a given choice. In addition, the playback application also selectively buffers different portions of the interactive media title, based on the collected data, in anticipation of the user selecting particular options for available choices.

  • Publication number: 20220006790
    Abstract: Randomizations of a web page may be generated in advance and provided to a client. The client may store the randomizations in its cache. Multiple randomizations for the same web page may be provided to the client and may be stored in the client's cache. When a request for a web page is made, it is determined if the client has any cached randomizations. Randomizations for the probable next web page to be requested by the client may be provided to the client for storage in the cache. For example, the probability that a link will be clicked or a web site visited may be determined. Those web pages and web sites with higher probabilities may be determined. Randomizations for those web pages are then provided to the client for use.

  • Publication number: 20220005326
    Abstract: Systems and methods for ATM fraud detection are presented. ATM fraud detection may be provided in the context of including a currency sensor in the ATM to count currency notes. ATM fraud detection may be obtained by using a currency sensor, such as a scanner, to image and count any currency notes that remain after being dispensed to a user, and determining if the count is correct for the currency notes dispensed. A count discrepancy resulting from removal of some but not all dispensed currency notes would indicate attempted theft or fraud.

  • Patent number: 11216797
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for managing transactions by consolidating associated transactions. For instance, a method may include receiving transaction information for a transaction. The transaction information may include an identifier and a transaction amount associated with the transaction. The method may further include comparing the transaction amount to a threshold to determine whether the transaction amount is equal to or above the threshold, or whether the transaction amount is below the threshold. The method may include, in response to determining that the transaction amount is below the threshold, obtaining pending transaction information, analyzing the pending transaction information to determine whether there is at least one associated transaction associated with the transaction, and performing at least one processing action to resolve the transaction.

  • Publication number: 20210400318
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a graph streaming application computes a first distance along a first potential playback path between a first playback position and a first media content block. The graph streaming application then computes a first score for the first media content block based on the first distance and a first probability associated with the first potential playback path. Similarly, the graph streaming application computes a second score for a second media content block based on a second playback position, a second potential playback path, and a second probability associated with the second potential playback path. The graph streaming application compares the first score and the second score to determine that the first media content block should be buffered by a client device. The graph streaming application then causes the first media content block to be stored in a playback buffer for subsequent playback on the client device.

  • Publication number: 20210383467
    Abstract: A computing system retrieves a credit check algorithm. The credit check algorithm utilizes one or more parameters for evaluation of a credit score of an individual. The computing system identifies a plurality of entities contributing parameters for the evaluation of the credit score of the individual. The computing system compiles the credit check algorithm into a plurality of components. Each component corresponds to a respective entity of the plurality of entities and each component generates an output unique to the respective entity. The computing system transmits each component to a respective entity of the plurality of entities. The computing system instructs each entity to share a respective output with each remaining entity. The computing system receives a credit score for the individual from each of the plurality of entities. Each credit score received from each entity is the same.

  • Patent number: 11195172
    Abstract: A device receives information indicating first names and last names of individuals and applies different cursive fonts to each of the first names and the last names to generate images of different cursive first names and different cursive last names. The device applies different transformations to the images of the different cursive first names and the different cursive last names to generate a set of first name images and a set of last name images. The device combines each first name image with each last name image to form a set of signature images and trains a neural network model, with the set of signature images, to generate a trained neural network model. The device receives an image of a signature and processes the image of the signature, with the trained neural network model, to recognize a first name and a last name in the signature.

  • Publication number: 20210368243
    Abstract: System and devices for live captioning events is disclosed. The system may receive event calendar data and a first plurality of caption files and preselect a first caption file based on the event calendar data. The system may then access an audiovisual recorder of a user device, and receive a first feedback from the recorder.
