  • Publication number: 20240256993
    Abstract: Communications over short-range connections are used to facilitate whether access to resources is to be granted. For example, upon device discovery of one of an electronic user device and an electronic client device by the other device over a Bluetooth Low Energy connection, an access-enabling code associated with a user device or account can be evaluated for validity and applicability with respect to one or more particular resource specifications. User identity can be verified by comparing the user against previously obtained biometric information.

  • Patent number: 12052362
    Abstract: A method for transmitting ticket information to user devices based on interactions of the user devices with a ticket system, is disclosed. The method involves identifying interactions of a first user device and a second user device with the ticket system within a predefined time period. The interactions are associated with ticket requests for a resource. Interaction scores are generated and updated based on the number of interactions. Upon interaction with the first user device, a first interface containing first ticket information is transmitted within the predefined time period, determined by the first interaction score. Simultaneously, in response to the second user device interaction, a second interface with second ticket information is transmitted, determined by the second interaction score. Notably, the second ticket information includes a second quantity of available tickets for the resource, which is lesser than a first quantity in the first ticket information.

  • Publication number: 20240185131
    Abstract: Certain aspects and features of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods that generate machine-learning models to predict whether user devices are likely to meet defined objectives. For example, a machine-learning model can be generated to predict whether or not a user device is likely to access a resource. In some implementations, a semi-supervised model can be used to determine to what extent user devices are predicted to satisfy the defined objective(s). For example, a resource-affinity parameter can be generated as a result of inputting various data points into a semi-supervised model. The various data points can be access from a plurality of data sources, and can represent one or more activities or attributes associated with a user. The value of the resource-affinity parameter can be evaluated to determine the extent to which the user is likely to meet an objective.

  • Patent number: 12003596
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for executing tasks selected based on locations of user devices. A first user device associated with an access right to a resource can be identified. The location of the first user device can be determined at a time before a defined time period. Further, a protocol execution condition can be detected. Upon detecting the protocol execution condition, executing a protocol. Executing the protocol can include determining a distance between the first user device and a resource location. Whether the distance between the first user device and the resource location is less than or equal to a distance range of the resource location at a time prior to the defined time period can be determined. In response to determining that the distance is not less than or equal to the distance range, accessing a plurality of tasks, selecting a task, and executing the task.

  • Patent number: 11966856
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a primary load management system configured to execute machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to generate predictions of access-right requests that are or are likely to be invalid before the access-right requests are processed for assignment to users or user devices. The present disclosure relates to systems and methods that collect a data set representing characteristics of user devices as the user devices interact with various systems of the primary load management system and train a machine-learning model to predict invalid access-right requests using the collected data set. The collected data set may include a log line that represents each user device, and each log line may be labeled based on an invalidity evaluation. New access-right requests can be processed using the trained machine-learning model to determine whether or not to assign access rights in response to the access-right request.

  • Publication number: 20240126906
    Abstract: A method for detection and use of device identifiers to enhance the security of data transfers between electronic devices. A first electronic device can transmit access data to a second electronic device. The access data can be associated with a first access code that can be generated based at least in part on data representing a device identifier of the first electronic device. A device identifier can uniquely identify the first electronic device from a plurality of electronic devices. Transferring the access data can involve transforming the first access code into a second access code that can include data representing a device identifier associated with the second electronic device. Transforming the first access code into the second access code can facilitate access to a resource associated with the access data for a second user, but not for a first user.

  • Patent number: 11956282
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating shared access-right evaluation using linked communication channels are provided. A first communication can be received over a first communication link from a first user device, and a second communication can be received over a second communication link from a second user device. The first and second communications can include requests for the assignment of access rights. Map data can be generated and transmitted to each of the first and second user devices. Each user device can display a visual representation of access-right data. Further, a communication session can be facilitated between the first user device and the second user device. The communication session can be presented on the visual representation for each user device so that the first user and the second user can collaboratively evaluate access rights.

  • Patent number: 11921879
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to processing a request from a user device for access rights for a resource. An access management system can send a request to query a (e.g., cached or authoritative) data store for available access rights. The query may include an exact-match or fuzzy query. A set of access-right results responsive to the query can be identified. The system may transmit a communication to the user device that identifies the set, or a subset thereof. Upon receiving a selection of a result, the system can facilitate assigning access rights corresponding to the identified result to the user. In some instances, a level of precision at which a characteristic of an access-right result is identified and/or whether or how access rights are held depends on a request load.
