  • Patent number: 11094006
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and a method for communicating with a financial institution over a communication network to manage payments of payee initiated by a sender. The system includes a database for storing plurality of modules, a central server for monitoring and updating the plurality of modules, a processing unit processes the plurality of modules. The plurality of modules includes a notification module, a payee module and a payment process module. The notification module allows the sender to send a payment summary to each payee. The payee module allows the payee to upload payee's details in the central server, to select a mode of payment to receive the payment, to input banking details of the financial institution. The payment process module processes the payment as per the mode selected by the payee in the payee module, further processes the payment via cheque mode if the payee fails to update the mode of payment in a pre-defined duration.

  • Patent number: 11049204
    Abstract: A method for automatically detecting block legal billing is described where the technique analyzes each billing entry in the legal bill for visual or textual aspects that indicate that a list of billing items is included in the block. The technique utilizes a combination of textual analysis for punctuation characters, count of the number of verbs, or a search for conjunctions. A visual analysis is match the image of the billing item with a predetermined image of a list. Essentially, a novel natural language processing technique is described that identifies lists in a block of text, where the block of text is in the context of a legal bill.

  • Patent number: 11042555
    Abstract: A two step algorithm for conducting near real time fuzzy searches of a target on one or more large data sets is described. This algorithm includes the simplification of the data by removing grammatical constructs to bring the target search term (and the stored database) to their base elements and then perform a Levenstein comparison to create a subset of the data set that may be a match. Then performing a scoring algorithm while comparing the target to the subset of the data set to identify any matches.

  • Patent number: 11037666
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting suspicious activities surrounding the management of controlled substances in a medical facility is described herein, where the activities that may indicate the diversion of controlled drugs are flagged for further review. The activities are detected by invigilating application layer network packets, related to controlled substances, on the medical facility network, and processing these packets with a rules engine and machine learning generated rules to make a determination if the circumstances surrounding the packets indicate the diversion of controlled substances.

  • Patent number: 10699075
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for matching user inputted text to stored text. The user inputted text is compared to each of the text strings stored in a database using a Levenshtein distance algorithm. For each comparison, the Levenshtein distance is analyzed to determine exact matches, non-matches, and probable matches. Probable matches are further analyzed using a keyboard distance algorithm to differentiate between matches and non-matches.
