  • Patent number: 12107947
    Abstract: The systems and methods of the multi-blockchain transaction information segregation system of the present disclosure receive a first digital transaction, which includes first digital transaction information and second digital transaction information, through a network via broadcast by a first transaction device. A primary blockchain address provided on a primary blockchain is then identified in the first digital transaction, and a primary blockchain smart contract that is stored on the primary blockchain in association with the primary blockchain address is accessed. The primary blockchain smart contract is then executed to cause the first digital transaction information to be stored on the primary blockchain, and the second digital transaction information to be stored on a secondary blockchain that is separate from the primary blockchain.

  • Patent number: 12106300
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for making secure financial transactions, such as purchase payments, using rich Internet applications (RIA) running an RIA runtime (also referred to as a platform or framework) on the user's smart phone or other mobile device. Embodiments differ from the usual way of re-directing a user from a third-party application and authenticating the user by providing secure in-line payments from a rich Internet application running on an RIA runtime. A system includes: a mobile device executing a rich Internet application running on an RIA runtime; a payment library communicating with the RIA runtime and a service provider, for which the payment library communicates with the service provider to authenticate the rich Internet application; and in response to authentication by the service provider, facilitates secure financial transactions via the rich Internet application.

  • Patent number: 12106080
    Abstract: Techniques for an ultra-fact software compilation of source code are provided. A compiler receives software code and may divide it into code sections. A map of ordered nodes may be generated, such that each node in the map may include a code section and the order of the nodes indicates an execution order of the software code. Each code section may be compiled into an executable object in parallel and independently from other code sections. A binary executable may be generated by linking executable objects generated from the code sections. The methodology significantly differs from existing source code compilation techniques because conventional compilers build executable sequentially, whereas the embodiments divide the source code into multiple smaller code sections and compile them individually and in parallel. Compiling multiple code sections improves the compilations in order of magnitude from conventional techniques.

  • Patent number: 12106354
    Abstract: An easy authentication or payment is made by creating an account associated with a particular web browser or device that accesses an on-line page. Payments are made, such as for full-access viewing of an article or viewing content without visible ads, by selecting a payment button on the on-line page. Selection can be with a specific swiping motion or device motion previously defined for the user. Once selected, the payment is made without the user having to authorize or authenticate. The motion can be used independently to authorize or authenticate the user through the device.

  • Patent number: 12100008
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a machine learning-based network trained to perform risk assessment through device data. A service provider server receives device data of a user device associated with a merchant account registered with a merchant server for a merchant service, and receives, from the merchant server, a request containing a unique token identifier for initiating a risk assessment operation to generate a device assessment score for the user device, where the device assessment score indicates a level of risk between the user device and the merchant account. The service provider server selects a risk assessment engine to perform the risk assessment operation and generates the device assessment score and a narrative for the device assessment score, and sends, to the merchant server through an application programming interface, a message containing a unique device identifier for the user device, the device assessment score and the narrative.

  • Patent number: 12086277
    Abstract: Computer system security can be improved through the use of whitelists and blacklists based on Bloom filters in the context of real-time data and electronic actions. A transaction may use a specific asset. A first search of the specific asset can be conducted in a Bloom filter whitelist comprising first assets classified as having a first status. The first search may return a plurality of first binary results corresponding to different hash functions performed the first assets. A second search of the specific asset can be conducted in a Bloom filter blacklist comprising second assets classified as having a second status different from the first status. The second search can return a plurality of second binary results corresponding to different hash function performed on the second assets, and the specific asset can be determined to be good or bad based on values of the first and second binary results.

  • Patent number: 12088619
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to identity-based risk evaluation using risk scores for different identities. The disclosed techniques include a server system that provides a service usable to perform computing operations for requesting users. The system may receive a request to perform a particular computing operation from a client device. Based on a name of a user associated with the request, the system assigns an first type of identity that is a birthright identity to the user. Based on details of the request, the system assigns additional identities to the user that are different identity types than the first type of identity. The system may score, based on accessing a risk score database storing known risk information associated with different identity types, the first type of identity and the additional identities. The system may generate a response based on the scoring and transmit the response to the client device.

  • Patent number: 12086862
    Abstract: A method for merchant-side tracking of customer selections includes receiving, via a user list script on a merchant webpage, a user selection of a product representation displayed on a UI of a user device. The method includes updating a user list with the user selection, the user list associated with a generic user representation. The method includes determining, based on a type of identifier associated with a user of the user device, to use a generic user representation with the user list. The method includes selecting, based on the generic user representation, an anonymous user flow type for tracking the user as an anonymous user of the merchant webpage. The anonymous user flow type associates the user device with the user list independently of associating the user with the merchant.
