Patent number: 11615332Abstract: Techniques are described relating to automatically classifying telephone calls into a particular category using machine learning and artificial intelligence technology. As one example, calls to a customer service phone number can be classified as related to prohibited activity, or as legitimate. In particular, a number of different telephony variables as well as additional variables can be used to make such a classification, after training an appropriate machine learning model. The training process may use an externally provided call classification score that is provide by an outside entity as an input, and can be calibrated so that the output score of the trained classifier provides a score that corresponds to a real-world percentage chance of an unclassified call falling into a particular category. Thus, a classifier score of “95” can indicate that a call is in fact believed to be 95% likely to correspond to prohibited activity, for example.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2019Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: David Williams, Dmitry Martyanov

Patent number: 11605096Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for initiating a device security setting on detection of conditions indicating a fraudulent capture of a machine-readable code. A service provider, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may provide in-person or device-to-device data transfers through machine-readable codes, such as to effectuate a payment from one mobile device to another. However, unauthorized devices may be in close enough proximity to also capture the code and impermissibly use the code. Thus, device security settings are used to detect whether fraud may occur in certain settings and implement an operation to hide a valid code. This may include operations to obtain information for the unauthorized device, make the code dynamic, or mask the code in a display. Once a nearby valid scanner is detected, such as through emitted light or sound, the valid code may be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Adhish Nayanendu Vyas, Michael Charles Todasco, Michael Jim Tien Chan, Jinesh Patel
