  • Patent number: 11922526
    Abstract: Aspects of distributed ledger technology are leveraged to verify subrogation settlements. In particular, two parties to a subrogation claim provide cryptographic hashes to a subrogation demand smart contract stored at an address on a blockchain. The subrogation demand smart contract determines that the parties have reached an agreement by determining that the cryptographic hashes match. A settlement amount from the subrogation claim may be appended to a set of settlement amounts to determine a net settlement amount to facilitate a single payment between the parties on a periodic basis, such as daily, to alleviate the need for the parties to send or receive a payment for each individual settlement amount.

  • Patent number: 11424014
    Abstract: In one embodiment, one or more non-transitory, computer-readable mediums store computer instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to receive inputs from one or more request sources. The inputs include user credentials to an electronic medical record (EMR) source provider system. The computer instructions, when executed by the processor, also cause the processor to validate the credentials via communication with the EMR source provider system without an external authorization process, retrieve one or more EMRs from the EMR source provider system after the credentials are validated by the EMR source provider system, and store the one or more EMRs in a single data repository.

  • Patent number: 11341267
    Abstract: A system includes at least one processor and at least one memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, where the at least one memory stores instructions. When executed by the at least one processor, the instructions are configured to receive death certificate information from a node of a distributed ledger system, determine, a record to be updated based at least in part on the death certificate information, and update the record. The death certificate information and the record are associated with an individual.

  • Patent number: 11127008
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing checks using 2D barcodes are provided. A user submits a digital image of a check that includes a 2D barcode. The 2D barcode has embedded positional information of one or more check features which can be decoded. The 2D barcode can include one or more check parameters. These check parameters can be decoded and used for processing, verification, and/or fraud prevention. Examples of check parameters can include an account indicator if the check is drawn from a business account or a personal account, a maximum amount allowed on the check, account information, a government identifier, or an electronic watermark. The user can submit the digital image of the check to a check processing system.

  • Patent number: 10726422
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing checks using 2D barcodes are provided. A request from a user to process an electronic image of a check can be received. A statistical evaluation of the user can be generated based on prior requests to process electronic images of checks. Based on the statistical evaluation, an initial number of electronic images of the check to request can be determined. The electronic images can be received from the user, and a composite image of the check can be created based on the received electronic images.

  • Patent number: 10526771
    Abstract: A flow monitoring system, which is configured to detect a leak in a water distribution system having appliances, includes a flow sensor. The flow sensor is configured to detect flow data of a flow of water within a conduit configured to fluidly couple to the appliances. The flow monitoring system also includes a processor. The processor is configured to receive the flow data from the flow sensor, determine whether a reference flow pattern (of a plurality of reference flow patterns) is present in the flow data (where the plurality of reference flow patterns correspond with expected water flow patterns to one or more appliance of the appliances), and initiate a shut-down mode configured to stop the flow of water in response to a determination that the reference flow pattern is not present in the flow data.

  • Patent number: 10296909
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing checks using 2D barcodes are provided. A user submits a digital image of a check that includes a 2D barcode. The 2D barcode has embedded positional information of one or more check features which can be decoded and compared to the check features optically identified on the digital image of the check. From this, a set of rotational and scaling adjustments can be computed by comparing estimated positional information with the positional information of the one or more check features retrieved from the barcode. A more accurate representation of the check is then produced by applying the set of rotational and scaling adjustments to the digital image of the check. Once a more accurate representation of the check has been produced, the check can be electronically processed using a routing transit number found on the check.
