  • Patent number: 11394554
    Abstract: Systems and methods of authenticating voice data using a ledger (blockchain). Examples include a scalable and seamless system that uses blockchain technologies to distribute trust of a conversation, authenticate persons in a conversation, track their characteristics and also to keep records of conversations. In some examples, smart phones, wearables, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices can be used to record and track conversations between individuals. These devices can each be used to create entries for the blockchain or a single device could be used to keep track of the entirety of the conversation. Fuzzy hashing may be used to compare newly created entries with previous entries on the ledger.

  • Patent number: 11391585
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for load balancing for map application route selection and output. A user may utilize a device application to map or route between two or more endpoints, such as geo-locations entered or detected by the device. During calculation of a travel route between the endpoints, real-time data, user preferences, and requesting entities may provide criteria data that may cause determination of a particular travel route, where the travel route may be longer than a most efficient route but within a pre-defined variable time or distance allotment and match the criteria data. Use of the route may accrue a form of compensation for the user. The user may view an application interface displaying the route, which may further include one or more executable processes to cause recalculation of the route. Recalculation of the route may require the user to provide credits or compensation.

  • Patent number: 11392778
    Abstract: In a flow of computer actions, a computer system (110) receives a request involving a machine translation. In performing the translation (160, 238), or in using the translation in subsequent computer operations (242, 1110), the computer system takes into account known statistical relationships (310), obtained from previously accumulated click-through data (180), between a machine translation performed in a flow, the flow's portions preceding the translation, and success indicators pertaining to the flow's portion following the translation. The statistical relationships are derived by data mining of the click-through data. Further, normal actions can be suspended to use a random option to accumulate the click-through data and/or perform statistical AB testing. Other features are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11392913
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for facilitating shopping for products that have been liked to a social media network. A product can be seen on a merchant's website, for example. The product can be liked by user to the social media website. When the same or a different user subsequently sees the liked product on the social media website, the same or different user can purchase the product from the social media website. Thus, the user is not required to visit the merchant's website to perform the purchase transaction. Upon completion of the purchase, the user can be allowed to leave feedback to rate the item according to a predefined scale, which can be visible to all those who view the item, as exhibited by a vendor on the social media platform.

  • Patent number: 11386179
    Abstract: Systems and methods for provisioning applications include storing an application identifier in association with location information in a database that is accessible by a user device. The user device then detects that it is located at a location included in the location information. In response to detecting that it is located at the location, the user device determines an application that is included on the user device and that is identified by the application identifier that is associated with the first location. The user device then automatically provides the application for display to a user. In some embodiments, the application may be automatically provided by automatically launching the application on the user device, and that application may be automatically closed if the user device leaves the location or the application is not used for a predetermined amount of time.

  • Patent number: 11385911
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing a framework to integrate independent fragment modules into an integrated user interface. The fragment modules can be simultaneously rendered on a user interface page or sequentially rendered across multiple user interface pages. The fragment modules are configured to interact with a user via the user interface. The interactions with the user may trigger an event. When an event associated with a fragment module occurs, the fragment module is configured to broadcast the event. An orchestrator is configured to monitor events associated with different fragment modules. The orchestrator may include an event handler for performing one or more action in response to an event. The action may include configuring another fragment module to modify a presentation and/or perform a transaction based on the event.

  • Patent number: 11386652
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for tagging objects in augmented reality to track object data. A user may capture visual data utilizing a device at a location, where the visual data includes one or more objects that the user may wish to associate with a purchase or sell offer. A device may perform object recognition to identify the object and an identifying characteristic of the object. A service provider may then receive offer details and may generate a graphical object or other virtual data that can be displayed with the object in an augmented reality experience. Later, when the object is identified in another augmented reality experience on a different device, the virtual graphic may be displayed, which may show the offer for the object. Further, the augmented reality may be used to process a transaction for the object and track the object.

  • Patent number: 11379843
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for facilitating migration from a first hosting platform that hosts a first set of transaction processing systems to a second hosting platform. A second set of transaction processing systems that corresponds to the first set of transaction processing systems is deployed in the second hosting platform. As incoming transaction requests that are intended for the first set of transaction processing systems are detected, corresponding transaction requests are generated based on the incoming transaction requests and a correlation table. The corresponding transaction requests are sent to the second set of transaction processing systems for processing. Corresponding responses from the first set of transaction processing systems and the second set of transaction processing systems are obtained and compared against each other. A functionality of the second hosting platform can be validated based on the comparing.

  • Patent number: 11381598
    Abstract: A method for phishing detection using certificates associated with uniform resource locators (URLs) is discussed. The method includes accessing certificate portions of a certificate associated with a suspect URL, the certificate accessed at a database that includes certificates obtained by monitoring certificate logs. The method includes accessing a URL score for the suspect URL. The method includes assigning a certificate rule score based on partial certificate scores of certificate portions, the certificate rule score indicating a phishing potential for the certificate, each of the partial certificate scores indicating a likelihood of phishing of each portion based on certificate rules. The method includes using a machine learning model based on the URL score and the certificate to determine a uniqueness certificate score. The method also includes determining a phishing certificate score based on the certificate rule score and the uniqueness certificate score for the certificate.
