  • Patent number: 12260326
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may relate to methods, systems, and apparatuses for labeling data in connection with synthetic data generation. The data labeling may begin with a manual process where a user provides labels for data. Based on the labels provided by the user, modified data may be generated and may include one or more encodings associated with the labels provided by the user. A machine-learning model may be trained to predict labels based on the modified data samples. Accuracy of the model may be determined based on comparing the predicted labels to further labels provided by the user and/or by allowing the user to indicate whether predicted labels are correct or incorrect. Once the model is determined to be accurate, the predicted labels may be used as a basis for generating synthetic data.

  • Patent number: 12261832
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may allow for the generation of a message to be sent to an intended recipient of a request for a communication session prior the initiation of the communication session. The system may monitor applications and associated devices to determine the initiation of the communication session. Based on such a determination, the system may generate a message to be presented to a communication initiating user and to be sent to an intended recipient of the communication session. The system may determine data for the message based on an analysis of the data associated with the communication initiating user, and the system may apply a machine learning model to generate draft messages for the user. Messages may be generated to authenticate a user with an intended recipient of the communication session.

  • Patent number: 12259787
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a monitoring algorithm that ensures that each step of an automated virtual machine reclamation process executes correctly before moving on to the next step. After each step of the process, some implementations can determine whether the resulting data is correct. If the resulting data is incorrect, some implementations can initially revert any fields updated by the process to their correct value. Some implementations can further decide whether to resubmit the virtual machine for reclamation automatically, or queue it for manual review based on, for example, multiple or repeated failures, server or data center failures, etc. Thus, some implementations can not only automate each step of the reclamation process, but also provide process evaluation and error detection for the reclamation process.

  • Patent number: 12259961
    Abstract: A method includes an access device determining an interaction value associated with an interaction. The access device prompts a user operating a user device for a secret. The access device receives the secret. The access device receives an initial communication then a user device certificate comprising a public key from the user device. The access device then verifies the certificate. The access device concatenates at least the secret and an unpredictable number to form a concatenated value. The access device encrypts the concatenated value with the public key, then transmits the encrypted concatenated value. The user device decrypts the encrypted concatenated value with a private key, verifies the unpredictable number, verifies the secret, determines whether or not the interaction is approved, produces an interaction authorization result, and then provides the interaction authorization result to the contactless access device. The access device receives the interaction authorization result.

  • Patent number: 12259802
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for providing data monitoring and analysis of a data center using an Entity-Component-System (ECS) architecture. Embodiments of the disclosure provide mechanisms for initializing the ECS architecture by associating devices and data metrics relating to the data center as entities and components. During runtime, the components are continuously updated with collected data metrics and the state of the entities are analyzed by the systems to determine if an event has occurred that requires a remedial action be performed. The events correspond to events occurring on the data center as they relate to the devices associated with the entities. Actions correspond to steps that are taken to rectify the event.

  • Patent number: 12259957
    Abstract: A remote audio signal-based method and system of performing an authentication of video of a person in order to authorize access to a secured resource. An audio security token with a first set of features is generated and stored for each user. During subsequent sessions, the system and method are configured to cause a remote computing device to play a specific audio signal while collecting audio data from a microphone of the same device. The audio data is evaluated to determine if the same features are present as in the first set of features. If the features are present, the system determines the image is authentic and can verify an identity of the person, and can further be configured to automatically grant the person access to one or more services, features, or information for which he or she is authorized.

  • Patent number: 12260700
    Abstract: An image of a check is captured by an imaging device and processing of the digital image of the check for deposit at a remote server may be accomplished with a downloaded software application on a portable computing device associated with the imaging device. The downloaded application may include one or more trained machine learning models for processing the captured image. The portable computing device may utilize deterministic algorithms for certain image processing tasks and machine learning models for others. The selection between machine learning and deterministic processing may be made locally on the portable device or in response to instructions from an institution server to use a particular processing method.

  • Patent number: 12260291
    Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein enable tracking user actions by generating different visually scannable codes (e.g., QR codes) for combinations of user, operator, and action(s). Each visually scannable code may be stored with user action data and an operator identifier and linked to another visually scannable code corresponding to the user. When a visually scannable code is scanned, all data associated with the visually scannable code and data associated with other linked visually scannable codes is generated for display. By generating the visually scannable codes and storing the codes in a linked state, the system is able to provide quick and efficient data retrieval.

  • Patent number: 12260722
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking the location of an asset may utilize wireless asset beacons broadcasting asset information/data and powered asset beacons secured relative to movable powered assets. The powered asset beacons may be configured to receive signals transmitted from the asset beacons and to ascertain a relative location between the asset beacon and the powered asset to determine an estimated location of the asset. Moreover, the asset beacons may be selectively activated based on the occurrence of a trigger event, such that the asset beacons do not wireless transmit information/data when it is desirable to limit wireless data transmissions.
