  • Patent number: 11836757
    Abstract: A system and method provide rewards or loyalty incentives to card member customers. The system includes an enrolled card member customer database, an enrolled merchant database, a participating merchant offer database and a registered card processor. The registered card processor receives a record for charge for a purchase made with an enrolled merchant by an enrolled card member customer and uses the record of charge to determine whether the purchase qualifies for a rebate credit in accordance with a discount offer from the enrolled merchant. If the purchase qualifies for a rebate credit, the registered card processor provides the rebate credit to an account of the enrolled card member customer. The system provides a coupon-less way for merchants to provide incentive discounts to enrolled customers.

  • Patent number: 11817999
    Abstract: At least some embodiments are directed to a system that receives from an online portal loaded in a computing device, a user request to instantiate a server cluster in a hybrid computer network. The system authenticates and redirects the user request to a selected computer network configured in the hybrid computer network. The system instantiates the server cluster in the selected computer network causing the server cluster to initiate a microservice agent during bootup. The system sends a command to the server cluster to initiate the execution of a process and receives from the microservice agent event data associated with the process. The system inputs the event data into a trained machine learning model to determine a first execution state of the process and sends a command to change the first execution state of the process to a second execution state.

  • Publication number: 20230342480
    Abstract: Systems and methods for peer-to-peer secure document exchange are disclosed. The system may allow a document provider to securely transmit a certified document to a document verifier using decentralized storage. The verifier system may generate a session key pair and transmit the session public key to a trusted API provider. The trusted API provider may generate a session nonce. The verifier system may transmit the session nonce to the provider system. The provider system may use the session nonce to retrieve the session public key. The provider system may encrypt a certified document using the session public key and store the encrypted certified document in the decentralized storage. The verifier system may retrieve the encrypted certified document by polling the trusted API provider based on the session nonce. The verifier system may decrypt the encrypted certified document using the session private key.

  • Patent number: 11797868
    Abstract: At least some embodiments are directed to an insights inference system that produces multiple insights associated with an entity. The insights inference system generates a decision tree machine learning model, assigning a first insight to a parent node of a decision tree machine learning model and assigning at least one second insight to child nodes of the decision tree machine learning model. Each child node is associated with a sequence number and a rank number. The sequence number and the rank number are indicative of a significance associated with the at least one second insight. The insight inference system responds to queries by traversing the decision tree machine learning model to compute at least one response insight based on the sequence number and the rank number associated with each child node and outputs the at least one response insight to a client terminal.
