  • Patent number: 12154113
    Abstract: Techniques are described for managing transactions requested by a user, such management based on sensor data that is generated by sensor device(s) in proximity to the user. Biometric and/or other types of data may be generated using sensors that are included in a user device, worn by a user, and/or otherwise in proximity to the user. The data may be analyzed to determine a current physical, emotional, and/or intellectual state of the user, such as whether the user is intoxicated, exhausted, angry, depressed, under duress, experiencing dementia, and so forth. If a transaction is detected that conflicts with a previously specified constraint, such as a budget or spending rule of the user, and if the user is currently in an impaired state, action(s) may be taken to manage the transaction. Such action(s) may include blocking the transaction, delaying the transaction, and/or notifying another party to assist the user.

  • Patent number: 12112328
    Abstract: Enhanced authentication at resource event apparatuses of a card device and, in some instances, the user of the card device. Card device-specific Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are generated and, in some instance, user credential-specific NFTs are generated. The NFTs are stored within a distributed ledger of a distributed trust computing network, which provides verification as the uniqueness and authenticity of the NFTs. Once a resource event is initiated at a resource event apparatus, card device-related information and, in some instance, user credential-related information is received, and the information is compared to the corresponding NFT as a means of authenticating the card device and, in some instances, the card device and the linked user of the card device. As a result, the use of imitation card devices is prevented and, in some instances, the identity of the user of the card device is authenticated and deemed to be linked to the card device.

  • Patent number: 12094001
    Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a resource allocation analysis system implemented via a back-end application computer server. A resource data store may contain electronic records associated with a set of resource types, each electronic record including an electronic record identifier and resource parameter. The back-end application computer server may receive, from the resource data store, information about a set of resource types to be analyzed, including the associated resource parameters. The computer server may then execute a differential evolutionary algorithm to optimize the set of resource types based on at least one non-linear constraint and generate resource analysis results. The back-end application computer server may, according to some embodiments, perform a resampling process that uses non-parameterized historical data, regression on at least one resource type, and moment matching.

  • Patent number: 12079866
    Abstract: A system includes an intermediate mortgage integration platform as a service (MiPaas). Specifically, an MiPaas layer may facilitate integration between a loan origination system (LOS) and supporting services. The MiPaas layer may provide integration flexibility by enabling integration of the supporting services with each other and with different LOSs. Indeed, a number of MiPaas integration formats (e.g. REST API, OpenAPI, GRPC, GraphQL, Industry Standard interface, etc. may be provided to facilitate ease of integration between the LOS and the supporting services. Further, the MiPaas may provide processing efficiencies by adapting workflows based upon particular retrieved data. In this manner, efficient processing may be performed in an intermediate data processing layer, resulting in more efficient turnaround times and reduced processing requirements at traditionally over-burdened systems.
