  • Patent number: 11810097
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for extending dialogue between a mobile device and a point-of-interaction (POI). One example computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a conduit server, from the POI, via a first connection between the conduit server and the POI, a request for an extended connection between the POI and the mobile device, and notifying a host server of the request. The method then includes receiving, from the mobile device, via a second connection between the conduit server and the mobile device, an identifier for the mobile device and pairing, based on the identifier, the first and second connections, to establish a wireless connection between the POI and the mobile device, via the conduit server. The method further includes submitting a wake-up call to the mobile device, whereby the mobile device publishes the identifier to establish a wireless connection directly between the POI and the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11645389
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and computer readable media related to fraud detection. Fraud detection is achieved using a flexible scripting language and syntax that simplifies the generation of fraud detection rules. The rules are structured as conditional IF-THEN statements that include data objects referred to as Anchors and Add-Ons. The Anchors and Add-Ons used to generate the rules also correspond to a distinct data path for the retrieval data from any of a variety of data sources. The retrieval of data from the various data sources is optimized based on data dependencies within the rules. By knowing the data dependencies of each rule and utilizing parallelization of rule execution, the retrievals of data from the data sources is achieved efficiently so the rules can be executed quickly.

The rules are structured as conditional IF-THEN statements that include data objects referred to as Anchors and Add-Ons. The Anchors and Add-Ons used to generate the rules also correspond to a distinct data path for the retrieval data from any of a variety of data sources. The generated rules with distinct data paths are then converted using a transpiler from the scripting language into native language source code (e.g., PHP, Java, etc.) for deployment in a particular environment. The rules are then executed in real-time in the environment to detect potential fraudulent activity.
