Patent number: 11477035Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for carrying out a value transfer is provided. A method includes receiving, by a computing system of a financial institution, a de-signcrypted value transfer message including terms of a value transfer from an account of a sending party to an account of a merchant, wherein a receiving party desires to make a purchase from the merchant and the value transfer is a payment from the sending party account to the merchant account; and one or more spending limitations on the desired purchase, wherein the payment is contingent on the desired purchase meeting the spending limitations. The method then includes verifying the authenticity of the de-signcrypted message using a public key of the sending party and a private key of the financial institution; and dispersing funds according to the terms of the value transfer.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Jal Daruwalla, Phillip H.

Patent number: 11475654Abstract: Various examples described herein are directed to systems and methods that learn to evaluate data items. A computing device receives data items and evaluates the data items. The evaluation performed by the computing device includes comparing a first data item with a second data item and determining a difference between the first data item and the second data item based on the comparison. The computing device also prepares a recommendation based on the difference between the first data item and the second data item and forwards the recommendation to a subject matter expert. The computing device receives an updated recommendation from the subject matter expert that is based on the recommendation. Using the updated recommendation, the computing device refines the comparing and determining operations where the computing device further learns to evaluate the data items by receiving the updated recommendation and refining the comparing and determining operations.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Stacey Diane Patel, Audra Ann Bratton, Paul Vincent Zeman, Jr., Denis Michael Hein

Patent number: 11477011Abstract: An administrator installs a key management agent on a previously approved client machine. The agent is started on the client machine, which posts requests for keys to a central key management service. The central key management service logs requests posted to it by clients, and checks for existing pre-approval records. If none are found, a message is typically sent to an approver for the requesting client machine. When a request is verified as approved, the request is flagged for further processing. The supported systems continuously or periodically look for records flagged for processing, use requests to generate keys and other appropriate elements for the requesting client machine, and post keys and other elements to the key management database. The key management agent polls the central key management service periodically until finding the expected key file, which it downloads and installs into a protected file location on the client machine.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2019Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Douglas Pelton, Waeed Sherzai, Catherine Li, Ruven Schwartz

Patent number: 11468505Abstract: A computer system is described that is configured to calculate probable risks of assets being transferred away from an institution that is currently holding the assets. In order to reduce transfers of assets from an institution, the computer system is configured to predict a likelihood of transfer of the asset from the institution based on the client data. The computer system is configured to predict a risk of transfer of the asset that takes into account the value of the asset. For example, particular higher value assets may be more valuable to the financial institution than other assets given a comparable likelihood of transfer. The computer system is further configured to propose and/or prioritize actions, such as potential advising opportunities, to minimize the risk of transfer of the asset from the financial institution.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2018Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Teresa Ridge, Timothy Feifs, Dustin Scott Mountcastle, Magdalena J.
