Patent number: 10579977Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling certificate-based open payment transactions involving a merchant and a customer utilizing various types of networks and terminals. Prior to accessing a merchant POS terminal or, for example, a merchant website, a customer obtains a certificate from a service provider (SP), such as a bank, certifying his identification (ID) and his relevant financial information, in a form that is understandable by the SP. The SP is capable of performing multiple functions. For example, the SP is capable of acting as a certificate authority when it issues the customer's certificates, an authenticator when it receives private-key encrypted certificates from the customers to be decrypted using the corresponding public-key, and an authorizing authority when it checks the value available in a customer' chosen payment account against the requested purchase or transfer amount.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2019Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Citicorp Credit Services, Inc.

Patent number: 10579931Abstract: A method and system for interpreting a dataset is described herein. The method include computing a rule set pertaining to the dataset, followed by generating a rule cover pertinent to a subset of the rule set. Further, a plurality of distances between the plurality of rule pairs in the rule cover is calculated and a distance matrix based on the calculated plurality of distances is generated. Consequently, the overlapping rules within the rule cover are clustered using the distance matrix and a representative rule from each cluster is selected. Further, at least one exception for each representative rule is determined and the dataset is interpreted using the representative rules and the at least one exception. Thereby, the method provides succinct results in terms of rules and exceptions along with multiple interpretations of the same set of transactions from the dataset, thereby providing a holistic view about the dataset.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2015Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Puneet Agarwal, Gautam Shroff, Sarmimala Saikia, Ashwin Srinivasan

Patent number: 10579742Abstract: Techniques are described for data transformation performed based on a current emotional state of the user who provided input data, the emotional state determined based on biometric data for the user. Sensor(s) may generate biometric data that indicates physiological characteristic(s) of the user, and an emotional state of the user is determined based on the biometric data. Different dictionaries and/or dictionary entries may be used in translation, depending on the emotional state of the sender when the data was input. In some implementations, the emotional state of the sending user may be used to infer or otherwise determine that a translation was incorrect. The input data may be transformed to include information indicating the current emotional state of the sending user when they provided the input data. For example, the output text may be presented in a user interface with an icon and/or other indication of the sender's emotional state.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2017Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventor: Amanda S.
