  • Patent number: 12688496
    Abstract: Methods and systems described herein may implement blockchain cryptocurrency transactions in a variety of environments. An online transaction processor may provide operations for cryptocurrency conversions. The transaction processor may detect that a user is involved in a cryptocurrency transaction with another entity, which is requested to be processed using an amount of cryptocurrency and using an off-chain amount of the cryptocurrency. The transaction processor may determine that the entity does not have a digital wallet, node, or the like on a layer two network to receive and/or process the off-chain balance for the cryptocurrency. The transaction processor may then, after a risk assessment, determine that the user may access the amount of the cryptocurrency from an on-chain balance available to a digital wallet of the cryptocurrency. The transaction processor may make that on-chain amount available and may request repayment via the user's off-chain balance.

  • Patent number: 12688249
    Abstract: A method and system for detecting slow page load is provided. An example system comprises a page request detector, a time-out module, a time-out monitor, and a lightweight page requestor. The page request detector may be configured to detect a request for a web page. The time-out module may be configured to commence a time-out period in response to a request for a web page. The time-out module cooperates with the time-out monitor that may be configured to determine that rendering of a rich version of the requested web page has not commenced at an expiration of the time-out period. The lightweight page requestor may be configured to cause a lightweight version of the requested page to be provided to the client system when the time-out monitor determines that the rendering of a rich version of the requested web page has not commenced at an expiration of the time-out period.

  • Patent number: 12689678
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for determining processing weights of rule variables for rule processing optimization. A service provider, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may utilize different decision services that implement rules for decision-making of data including real-time data in production computing environments. Rules may correspond to coded statements that perform an automated decision-making service for the computing services and platforms of the service provider. When writing rules, different variables for data objects may be utilized, where each variable may perform a different operation and/or utilize a different operation for fetching and retrieving data used during rule processing. Each variable may therefore have a different data processing weights based on processing requirements of the data. Thus, optimization of rule authoring may be performed by mapping variables to other similar variables and showing a processing weight of each variable.

  • Patent number: 12689689
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed that relate to a computer system implementing an interactive voice response (IVR) transcoder. The computer system may receive voice input from an interactive voice response (IVR) system, or other channel. The computer system converts the received input to a request having a common format supported by an artificial intelligence (AI) core including one or more virtual agents. The computer system routes the request to the AI core operable to handle requests specified in the common format. The computer system receives, by the interface module, response data including data (e.g. text data) responsive to the second request. The computer system may implement a conversational artificial intelligence (CAI) platform. The computer system may receive text input from a chat-based input source. The computer system may route another request based on the text input to the AI core, the request being specified in the common text format.

  • Patent number: 12682362
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for an automated domain crawler and checkout simulator for proactive and real-time scam website detection. A service provider, such as an online transaction processor, may provide a domain crawler and checkout simulator that may be used to detect scam websites when registered and/or configured to utilize intermediary webpages of other domains to perpetrate fraud or scams on customers. The domain parser may detect new domain registrations and may parse through their corresponding websites to identify those that include checkout options or other processing flows that proceed through steps and use a service or feature of a service provider, including account usage for electronic transaction processing. The checkout simulator may then simulate a user's experience through the checkout to determine if domain redirections occur. If so, those redirections may be checked to identify usage of a merchant account having been flagged for scams.

  • Patent number: 12681939
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework that provides information associated with a particular domain to an artificial intelligence (AI). The RAG framework includes a query generation module that generates additional queries based on an original user query. A set of documents is retrieved from a corpus based on the user query and the additional queries. The RAG framework further includes an evaluation module for evaluating a relevancy of each retrieved document with respect to the original user query. Any documents determined to be irrelevant to the original user query may be eliminated, and the remaining documents along with the original user query are used to generate a prompt for the AI model, which in turn, generates a response to the user query.

The feature arrangement includes a domain independent section and multiple domain-specific sections corresponding to the multiple domains. The domain independent section includes common features that are common across the multiple domains. Each of the domain-specific sections includes a feature set associated with the corresponding domain. The machine learning model that is configured in this manner can be trained to learn knowledge across the multiple domains and subsequently perform tasks for the multiple domains.

  • Patent number: 12676756
    Abstract: Different communication and software protocols may be used by different blockchain networks. Cross-chain communication is provided via a software bridge configured to enable specific operations. An event request may be sent from a first blockchain network to a second blockchain network. The event request may be processed using a first protocol of the first network to provide a first output. An offer of equivalent processing provided by the second network may be verified by: processing the event request using a second protocol of the second network to provide a second output, and confirming that the second output matches the offer of equivalent processing. A processing equivalence of the event request may be established between the first network and the second network based on the first output of the event request processed using the first protocol and the second output of the event request processed using the second protocol.

  • Patent number: 12675783
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for correlating messages from asynchronous message queues using polling with exponential backoff and jitter. A service provider, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may provide computing services to users, which may be used to engage in interactions with other users and entities including for electronic transaction processing. When utilizing these transaction processing services, merchant locations may utilize payment terminals, such as card and NFC readers, as well as point-of-sale devices, each of which may independently send transaction messages to the service provider. To correlate these messages from different queues, the messages may be stored when received in an intermediary storage independently and the other storage polled at intervals with exponential backoff to identify corresponding messages and data. Further, jitter may be introduced to the polling process to stagger polling events for different messages.
