  • Publication number: 20240403861
    Abstract: A computer system selects a default payment account based on at least one of (a) account balance information for a plurality of accounts of a user or (b) user preferences received from the user. The computer system receives a request for a transaction to transfer funds to a recipient and determines that the transaction causes the account balance of the default payment account to decrease below a user-defined threshold minimum value. The computer system generates a screen display including a link associated with a second account and provides the screen display to a mobile device of the user. The computer system receives a selection of the link associated with the second account, generates an optical code associated with the second account that incorporates a tokenized account number of the second account, and transmits the optical code to the mobile device for the transaction.

  • Publication number: 20240403747
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for social responsibility load balancer are described herein. First user data for a first user and second user data for a second user is obtained. The first user data is aggregated into a first dataset and the second user data is aggregated into a second dataset. The first dataset and the second dataset are evaluated using a responsibility prediction learning model to determine a set of responsibilities. A target responsibility delta is calculated. The set of responsibilities are processed using a responsibility balancing algorithm to sort the set of responsibilities into the first responsibility assignments and the second responsibility assignments. A current delta is calculated between the first responsibility assignments and the second responsibility assignments. It is determined that the current delta is equal to the target responsibility delta. A user interface is generated to output the first responsibility assignments and the second responsibility assignments.
