  • Patent number: 12099592
    Abstract: A single sign-on system using blockchain is disclosed. The single sign-on system may interconnect various organization systems over a peer-to-peer network, with each organization system having a blockchain node and an application programming interface (API). The blockchain node invokes and uses a smart contract to write registration credentials to the blockchain during a registration process. During a login process, the blockchain node invokes the smart contract to determine whether login credentials match stored login credentials in the blockchain. In response to matching login credentials, the API may generate a single sign-on token that can be used by a user device to access one or more organization systems connected over the network.

  • Patent number: 12093909
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for implementing scheduled transactions within a payment network. A computing device first determines that a trigger has occurred for a scheduled transaction for a first payment network. Then, the computing device identifies a network identifier for the recipient and a participant identifier for a recipient of the scheduled transaction. Next, the computing device determines, based at least in part on the network identifier, that the recipient of the scheduled transaction is associated with a second payment network. Subsequently, the computing device generates a payment request representing the scheduled transaction, the payment request comprising the network identifier for the recipient and the participant identifier for the recipient. Then, the computing device forwards the payment request to a global transaction router of a supernetwork.

  • Publication number: 20240289893
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing predictive revenue distribution using machine learning and a Real-Time Payment (RTP) network. A revenue distribution system may train and apply a machine learning model to merchant transaction records to generate a predicted revenue amount. The revenue distribution system may deposit predicted revenue amounts to provide predictive funding for merchant accounts. For example, this may provide same-day and/or next-day funding. The revenue distribution system may account for differences in predicted revenue amounts and actual transaction amounts by adjusting the deposits of subsequent days. The revenue distribution system may also account for different periods of time, such as several days, a week, or longer.

  • Patent number: 12061901
    Abstract: Disclosed are approaches for enforcing requirements that documentation be up to date. In response to initiation of a build process for an application, a source-code file associated with the application is evaluated to determine an identifier and a location for a corresponding documentation file. A determination can be made regarding whether the documentation file exists at the location. Another determination can be made regarding whether each function specified in the source-code file has a corresponding entry in the documentation file. The build process can be halted in response to determining that at least one function specified in the source-code file fails to have the corresponding entry in the documentation file. If the build process is halted, a message can be displayed on the computing device, the message identifying the at least one function specified in the source-code file that fails to have the corresponding entry in the documentation file.
