  • Patent number: 11593791
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for inserting payment information into payment forms without user interaction. A system can identify that a user has navigated to a web page operated by a merchant computer system for a merchant and identify a payment form within the web page. The system can then execute a payment request API which generates a query for saved payment credentials for the user from the merchant computer system. When the merchant computer system indicates it does not have the saved payment credentials for the user, the system can identify browser-saved payment credentials stored in the Internet browser, then generate a virtual payment information associated with the browser-saved payment credentials. The virtual payment information can then be inserted into corresponding fields of the payment form without the user entering any additional information.

  • Patent number: 11580554
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for selecting an optimal financial account for a financial transaction. In an embodiment, a multi-account payment card is used to initiate a financial transaction. Transaction information of the financial transaction including a multi-account payment card ID is transmitted to a server for processing. The server determines that the multi-account payment card ID is associated with a plurality of financial accounts, wherein each of the plurality of financial accounts is associated with any one of a credit card, a debit card, an automatic teller machine (ATM) card, a gift card, or a credit line. A financial account of the plurality of financial accounts is selected by the server based on financial account information, such as reward information, associated with the plurality of financial accounts and the transaction information of the financial transaction. The financial transaction is then charged to the selected financial account.

  • Patent number: 11538012
    Abstract: A data controller computing device is configured to receive, from a voice-controlled (VC) computing device, a shared payment initialization request identifying a primary user payment account associated with the VC computing device. The DC computing device creates a shared payment account linked in a database to the primary user payment account. The DC computing device also receives secondary user information, and links in the database at least one secondary user payment account to the shared payment account. Additionally, the DC computing device transmits a shared payment account identifier to the VC computing device. The DC computing device receives, via a payment network, a transaction authorization request including the shared payment account identifier, a merchant identifier, and a transaction amount. The DC computing device applies respective portions of the transaction amount against each of the primary user account and the at least one secondary user payment account.

  • Patent number: 11521267
    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: 11507955
    Abstract: Services for trust conveyances of entities can be provided and managed. In connection with a transaction between first and second devices, a trust management component (TMC) can indicate trust levels of entities associated with the devices with regard to the transaction and/or an action attempted by an entity. With regard to an action attempted by the first entity, the trust level of the first entity can be evaluated to determine whether it is high enough to allow the action to proceed or to have the second entity respond to the action accordingly. If it is not high enough, the second entity, using the second device, can request a trust conveyance from the first entity via the TMC. The TMC can adjust the respective trust levels based on the outcome(s) of the action(s) of the respective entities with regard to executing the transaction.

  • Patent number: 11503036
    Abstract: A method for electing a leader in a blockchain network using a role-based consensus protocol includes generating a new block by a node in the blockchain network and computing an effective resources metric for the node based on a role of the node, resources of the node and a role-based weight profile for the resources of the node. Eligibility proof of the node is generated based on eligibility information that includes a blockheader of the new block, an identity of the node, a difficulty target, T, of the blockchain network, and the effective resources metric. The new block and the eligibility proof is broadcast to the blockchain network, to enable one or more other nodes in the blockchain network to verify eligibility of the node as a leader.
