  • Patent number: 10037329
    Abstract: A system may read source data corresponding to a source variable and apply a transformation to the source variable to generate an output variable. The transformation may include logic, and the output variable may be configured for ingestion into a big data storage format. The system may record lineage data of the output variable that comprises the transformation and/or the source variable. The system may also receive a request to generate a requested output variable. The requested output variable may be generated from a second transformation that is the same as the first transformation. The system may thus match the first transformation to the second transformation using the lineage data. In response to matching the first transformation to the second transformation, the system may deny the request. The original output variable may be returned in response to the matching the first transformation to the second transformation.

  • Patent number: 10019697
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for offering transaction account consumers with payment term options to pay a minimum amount due early, defer payment into the following payment cycle, and pay a standard amount when due. When generating a periodic billing statement, the invention determines a consumer's eligibility to elect early payment, deferred payment, and regular payment. When a consumer is eligible for early payment, a received payment is compared to a discount rate tier, then a discount amount is calculated and credited to the consumer's account. When the consumer is eligible for deferred payment, the system calculates a new current minimum payment due by multiplying the current non-deferred balance by a predetermined percentage amount and adding the result to the deferred balance. When the consumer is not eligible for deferred payment, the system calculates a new current minimum due by summing the current non-deferred balance with the deferred balance.
