  • Patent number: 10521415
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing weighted evaluation. The system may comprise one or more processors and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to obtain a plurality of data point groups, obtain an inbound rank of each data point group based on one or more inbound ranks of one or more data groups linking to the data point group, obtain an outbound rank of the each data point group based on one or more outbound ranks of one or more data groups linked from the each data point group, obtain a group rank of the each data point group based on the inbound rank and the outbound rank of the each data point group, and process the data point groups according to the corresponding group ranks.

  • Publication number: 20190005528
    Abstract: Methods and systems that allow users to receive automatic discount redemptions without the use of paper coupons or loyalty cards and real time notification of such redemptions. An offer redemption module submits merchant's point of sale registration information and user's financial card account registration information to the card network partner. The card network partner notifies the offer redemption module when a request to authorize a mutual merchant/user transaction is received. The offer redemption module matches the purchase transaction with saved auto-redeemable offers and notifies the acquirer requesting redemption and sends real time notification of redemption to user when there is a match.

  • Patent number: 8291047
    Abstract: An interface can serve as a client-mainframe interface, enabling clients to develop applications without a need to understand mainframe processes and screen flows. Extended Tool Command Language (Tcl) can define services that can include a series of interactions with a mainframe system and service definitions can be added or updated on the interface during operation of the interface without disrupting processing. The service definitions can enable the interface to receive XML requests from a client, parse the XML requests, execute the service scripts to interact with the mainframe systems, generate the result in a XML format and send the XML file back to the client. Fundamental Mainframe Interactions (FMI) commands can interact with the mainframe systems and enable the specification of the XML structure of the request and response. The interface can provide efficient connection pooling management and connection life cycle control to improve the performance of the mainframe system interactions.
