  • Patent number: 11269605
    Abstract: An application can be converted to new programming language or framework. A source application written for a legacy framework is analyzed and divided into smaller segments of code. The smaller segments are evaluated for quality in view of best practices design for writing applications. A rubric is determined for each segment and compared to a best practice threshold. Segments can be evaluated for features that can be passed through a model. The model converts the features into new code adapted for target framework. Machine learning and rules databases are updated with details of the conversion.

  • Patent number: 11270277
    Abstract: A computer system and a transaction machine (such as an automated teller machine (ATM)) of the same financial institution, can provide a third party customer the ability to pay bills, issued by the third party, at the ATM. A third party computer system communicates with the financial institution computer system to register the third party customer and obtain a first passcode associated with the third party customer. The financial institution computer system communicates the passcode and an associated bill amount to the ATM. The ATM accepts and verifies a second passcode received from the third party customer. The ATM communicates with the third party computer system to verify the bill amount. Responsive to receiving the verification, the ATM communicates with the third party user to accept a payment. Upon successfully receiving the payment, and verifying the payment amount, the ATM sends a payment notification to the third party computer system.

  • Patent number: 11270374
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for usage based insurance. The insurance system can apply rental insurance based on realtime operational parameters and on a usage history of the renter so that the insurance being applied to the rental period accurately reflects the risks and costs of the device usage. Realtime operational parameters of the device can be obtained from an electronic control unit on the device. The operational parameters can include information about how the vehicle is being operated and whether or not the device is being used in an autonomous or semi-autonomous operating mode. The usage history can include prior operational parameters from previous rental periods, traffic and other regulatory violations, and other relevant information associated with the user. The usage based insurance can apply to the entire rental period, or to portions of the rental period.

  • Patent number: 11265176
    Abstract: Systems and applications are described that use group signature technology to allow for anonymous and/or semi-anonymous feedback while allowing for the application of rules and parameters. The use of group signature technology may serve to potentially mitigate or prevent malicious identification of individuals or entities providing a communication such as feedback. Feedback may range from constructive feedback all the way to the ‘whistleblower’ variety. It may be desirable to identify the individuals as belonging to a particular group or having a particular status or position while maintaining the anonymity of the individuals within the particular group.

  • Patent number: 11249976
    Abstract: Disclosed are approaches for computationally-efficient data promulgation among devices in a network. Structured databases may comprise standardized and immutable bytes, each byte linked to a unique data field, a mutable state element, and a mutable activation element. The state element may indicate that there has been a mutation as well as a recency of the mutation. The activation element may indicate whether data pushes and/or data pulls are enabled. The state elements are configured to automatically mutate if there is a mutation in a corresponding unique data field. Each device in the network may transmit API calls as state-element requests to other entity devices in a network. The API call includes at least one byte, without any values in corresponding data fields. State elements are promulgated among devices, without sharing the data fields themselves. An optional central system maintains a record of state elements without storing data field values.
