  • Patent number: 12762567
    Abstract: A machine learning engine may be trained using artificial intelligence techniques and used according to techniques discussed herein. While an initial electronic transaction for a resource may be permitted, a subsequent related transaction to the initial electronic transaction may be analyzed in view of additional electronic information that was not available at the time of the initial transaction. Analysis of the subsequent related transaction, using the machine learning engine, may indicate a new classification related to the resource and/or the acquisition of the resource. Based on this new classification, usage of the resource may be restricted and/or denied, and the initial transaction for the resource may even be canceled retroactively.

  • Patent number: 12761886
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for dynamic user interfaces and content with reduced code development using an intelligent scenario simulation engine. A service provider, such as an online transaction processor, may provide computing services to users, such as electronic transaction processing, which may be facilitated and/or assisted by agents of the service provider. To provide dynamic user interfaces and content tailored to a user experience and based on different simulated scenarios of the user experience, the service provider may utilize a simulation engine to simulate permutations of user interfaces and content from combinations of the user and/or agents data and service states of available services that may be accessed and used through the user interfaces. This may utilize a large language model and/or generative AI to simulate such scenarios, as well as computing code for the user interfaces and calls to provide content via the services.

  • Patent number: 12762000
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for using artificial intelligence (AI) models, machine learning, and large language models to identify root causes of issues in a computing environment where multiple applications and computing devices operate. One or more AI models may determine adverse trends from one or more issue metrics, where an issue metric corresponds to issues occurring in a computing system. The AI models may identify issues corresponding to the adverse trends. From the identified issues, the AI models may determine root causes from the issues and the impacted area information and process information from the issues. From the issues and the impacted area information and process information from the issues the AI models may determine recommendations for rectifying the issues. The relations between the root causes, the impacted area information, the process information, and the issues may be formatted and displayed as a traversable network graph.

  • Patent number: 12764196
    Abstract: Systems and methods for real-time electronic service processing adjustments are disclosed. In an embodiment, a computer system may determine that a user account activity has triggered an assessment checkpoint from a plurality of assessment checkpoints in a life cycle of a user account. The computer system may retrieve data from the assessment checkpoint and update a lifetime score for the user account based on the retrieved data. The computer system may update the lifetime score by weighting the retrieved data as one or more features in a linear-weighted lifetime score model, for the life cycle.

  • Patent number: 12748988
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing a framework for analyzing graphs that exhibit non-homophilous behavior. Under the framework, a structural analysis and a feature-based analysis will be performed on a sequence of graphs. When performing the feature-based analysis, various features are extracted from each node in the sequence of graphs, and clusters of nodes are identified from each graph based on the features. A set of evolving prototypes is generated to represent evolving characteristics of the clusters of nodes, and a set of persistent prototypes is generated to represent persistent characteristics of the clusters of nodes. Information derived from the structural analysis of the graphs, the set of evolving prototypes, and the set of persistent prototypes are embedded within the nodes of the graphs. The embedded information is then used to classify the nodes.

  • Patent number: 12743698
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for dynamic autoscaling of server resources using intelligent demand analytic systems. A service provider, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may utilize different computing resource to provide computing resources to users. During use of such computing resources by end users and their computing devices, different demand and needs may be required by such users and devices. The service provider may utilize an intelligent machine learning system to predict computing resource needs and demands at different future time periods based on past usages over similar time periods, computing requests and demands, and network communications. The machine learning engines may identify one or more usages curves, which may be of one or more degrees of curvature, to determine potential future usage. Using these past analytics, the service provider may dynamically scale automatic provision of computing resources.

  • Patent number: 12743683
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing a framework for facilitating token sharing with contract issuers based on processing of smart contract transactions. The framework provides a mechanism for allowing one or more computer nodes within a blockchain network to opt-in to a token sharing agreement with a contract issuer and a mechanism for an opted-in computer node to share tokens with the contract issuer in a decentralized manner. When a computer node has opted-in to the token sharing agreement, the computer node, by executing a smart contract, performs a set of computer procedures that is non-productive to the processing of the smart contract transaction. The execution of the set of non-productive computer procedures provides an additional amount of processing fee based on the processing of the smart contract transaction. The computer node then transfers a portion of the additional amount of processing fee to an account of the contract issuer as part of the processing of the smart contract.

  • Patent number: 12717632
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing a framework for dynamically managing computer resources in processing transactions by selectively applying one or more techniques to improve the computer resource usage efficiency of processing different transactions. When a request for processing a first transaction is received, an estimated frequency of future transactions that are related to the first transaction is predicted. Based on the estimated frequency of future transactions, one or more actions that improves the computer resource usage efficiency for processing the first transaction are applied. The action may include suspending the processing of the first transaction and subsequently performing a batch process including the first transaction and a second transaction related to the first transaction. The action may include storing data associated with the processing of the first transaction in a cache memory for use in the subsequent processing of a second transaction.
