  • Patent number: 11928675
    Abstract: Securely sharing proof of knowledge of information without revealing the information, for example to allow an institution to prove it has knowledge regarding an alert. Code or software may be generated (at a first computer system) which takes as input one or more details regarding an entity and returns a value based on a match to one or more actual details regarding the entity. A name may be generated for the code based on information describing the entity, and the code may be published to a blockchain, along with at least one key corresponding to the code. For each name an entry may be creating in an index, converting the name to a blockchain address. A proof based on the code may be generated at a second computer system, which, if verified, results in the first institution and the second institution sharing information regarding the entity.

  • Patent number: 11842740
    Abstract: Some aspects of the invention may include a computer-implemented method for enrolling voice prints generated from audio streams, in a database. The method may include receiving an audio stream of a communication session and creating a preliminary association between the audio stream and an identity of a customer that has engaged in the communication session based on identification information. The method may further include determining a confidence level of the preliminary association based on authentication information related to the customer and if the confidence level is higher than a threshold, sending a request to compare the audio stream to a database of voice prints of known fraudsters.

  • Patent number: 11841932
    Abstract: A system and method may adjust the threshold or other settings in a biometric comparison system, or provide a report or display of parameters. Over a series of comparisons of authentication biometric samples (e.g. authentication VPs) to enrollment biometric samples (e.g. enrollment VPs), the authentication samples may be stored, and scores resulting from the biometric comparisons may be stored in a first set of scores. A second set of biometric comparisons may be created, each using a pairing of a stored authentication biometric sample and an enrollment biometric sample, each biometric comparison resulting in a score, the scores forming a second set of scores. The first and second sets of scores may be combined to produce a third set of scores, and an iterative process may be performed over the third set of scores to update the parameters of the Gaussian distribution of the third set of scores.

    Abstract: A system and method may identify computer-based processes which may be candidates for automation. Embodiments may involve a semi-supervised approach for identifying processes as automation opportunities. Transition probabilities for pairs of routines within a candidate process may be calculated based on a set of instances of the process (e.g., in a dataset of computer actions) using a dynamic time-window optimization procedure, where transition times may be measured for a plurality of instances of a first and second routines of a given pair of routines, and where statistical distributions may be calculated and used for deriving one or more time windows, describing a predetermined percentile (e.g., the 70th percentile) of the measured transitions and used for estimating a transition probability for the pair of routines. In some embodiments, the input set of transitions and routines may be generated by a user or business analyst using a graphical user interface (GUI).
