Patent number: 12081541Abstract: Techniques are disclosed in which a computer system receives a transaction request and uses a federated machine learning model to analyze the transaction request. A server computer system may generate a federated machine learning model and distribute portions of the federated machine learning models to other components of the computer system including a user device and/or edge servers. In various embodiments, various components of the computer system apply transaction request evaluation factors to the portions of the federated machine learning model to generate scores. The server computer system uses the scores to determine a response to the transaction request.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2021Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Abhishek Chhibber, Darshankumar Bhadrasinh Desai, Michael Charles Todasco, Vidyut Mukund Naware, Nitin S.

Patent number: 12079169Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing an asynchronous communication system for facilitating computing services to computer nodes across multiple availability zones. Each computer node includes a client application configured to receive a service request and to generate a request file based on the service request. The client application uploads the request file to a folder hosted by a file sharing system and shared with a processing server. When a new request file is detected in the folder, the processing server downloads the request file from the file sharing system. Based on performing one or more computing services according to the request file, the processing server generates a response file including output data from the computing services. The processing server uploads the response file to the folder hosted by the file sharing system. The client application downloads the response file and presents the output data on a device.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2021Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Nikita Alekseyevich Lukyanenko, Alexander Shvid

Patent number: 12073360Abstract: A quantity sensing storage device enables automatic ordering of a product using an ordering engine that monitors quantity signals generated by a quantity sensor that is configured to provide the quantity signals based on a quantity of a first set of a product stored at the quantity sensing storage device. Base on the quantity of the first set, the ordering engine determines whether an order threshold has been satisfied. The quantity sensing storage device automatically provides instructions to a service provider device via a wireless communication subsystem to order a second set of the product in response to determining that the order threshold has been satisfied. The ordering engine continuously updates the order threshold such that when the second set of the product is received by a user of the quantity sensing storage device, an optimal portion of the first set of the product remains stored in the storage enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2021Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventor: Brandon Alexander Tineo

Patent number: 12075235Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for on-device data privacy operations to prevent data sharing at user locations. A service provider, such as a merchant location of a merchant and/or associated online transaction processor, may provide additional services for to users via user data that may be tracked or stored of the user. However, the user may not want to share certain data with the merchant or other backend processor for privacy concerns. Thus, on-device data privacy operations may be used to detect when a user is at a location that has a corresponding privacy setting to hide or abstract user data for the location. The privacy setting may designate data to prevent from sharing when the user uses their device with devices associated with the location. Abstracted data associated with recommendations or actions to provide the user may be generated and provided to a merchant for the location.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2022Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Michael Charles Todasco, Clare Patrice Tandy, Cynthia O'Yang

Patent number: 12072895Abstract: Machine learning techniques are disclosed that allow device contact list information to be leveraged in building better models that provide more accurate assessment of user transaction risks. A computing device may receive a contact list that includes a first set of user device identifiers and generates a contact graph for that user by associating the user device identifier with the first set as first-degree contacts. The computing device may then determine that a portion of the first set of the user device identifiers are stored in a contact database (e.g. on a server) and generate a user score based on user information associated with the first set, the contact graph, and a contact graph model. The computing device may provide the user score to a transaction assessment service as in input for the transaction assessment service deciding whether particular electronic transactions are approved for processing by an electronic service provider.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2022Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventor: Nilotpal Paul

Patent number: 12073384Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for requesting payment for selected items or services using payment tokens. A first user, such as a requester for a transaction, may initiate a transaction with a merchant for at least one item or service. Upon checkout for the transaction, the first user may request that a second user complete payment for the transaction, such as a parent, spouse, or relative. A payment provider may generate a token for the transaction and instruct the merchant to hold the transaction for a period of time. The token may be communicated to the second user, a payer, for the transaction. The second user may then decide to authorize or decline payment for the transaction. The token may be kept valid for a period of time and the transaction may be cancelled with the merchant if the token is not paid for within the period.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2022Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Dawid Foerster, Claus Christian Lohmar, Thorsten Recker

Patent number: 12072919Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for sentence level dialogue summaries using unsupervised machine learning for keyword selection and scoring. A service provider, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may provide live chat service channels for assistance through live agents and chatbot services. When interacting with these channels over a period of time, a user may create a dialogue with multiple different live agents and/or chatbots. These chat sessions may be asynchronous but have important and relevant information for future live agents to review. Thus, the service provider may provide a dialogue summarizer, which may summarize a dialogue automatically to a number of most relevant sentences. This may be done using an unsupervised machine learning system that utilizes different machine learning algorithms to select and rank keywords within the sentences. The sentences are then scored and highest scored sentences are output as a summary.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2021Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Nikita Alekseyevich Lukyanenko, Alexander Shvid

Patent number: 12067103Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for iframe injection in mobile web browser applications for web browser extension opt-in. A service provider may provide a mobile application web browser extension, which may operate in conjunction with a mobile application web browser. The extension may interface with the web browser in order to determine data for browsed websites and user interactions and provide offers and savings to users during electronic transaction processing. In order to use the extension with the web browser, an opt-in preference and permission may be required. To provide this opt-in, the extension may cause the web browser to navigate to and load a webpage of the service provider. The extension may then inject an iframe that calls another domain, and a script of the extension executes in the iframe. The script may then infer that a permission has been granted.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2021Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Zachary C Babtkis, Anthony Le, Pavel Villarreal
