  • Patent number: 11954095
    Abstract: A set of transaction handling computing elements comprise a network core that receive and process transaction requests into an append-only immutable chain of data blocks, wherein a data block is a collection of transactions, and wherein an Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) data structure supporting the immutable chain of data blocks is an output from a finalized transaction. Typically, the UTXO data structure consists essentially of an address and a value. In this approach, at least one UTXO data structure is configured to include information either in addition to or in lieu of the address and value, thereby defining a Transaction Output (TXO). A TXO may have a variety of types, and one type includes an attribute that encodes data. In response to receipt of a request to process a transaction, the set of transaction handling computing elements are executed to process the transaction into a block using at least the information in the TXO.

  • Patent number: 11948196
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for monitoring and managing parts, enterprise resources and other assets, and alleviating risks, in a complex collaboration environment are provided. According to some example aspects of the invention, a device with a hardware- and software-based control system scans and/or writes unique asset-related information within a plurality of chemical, electromagnetic, or written data-bearing tags within, on or throughout an asset for use in a manufacturing, maintenance and/or tracking process. In other example aspects, the system records that asset-specific information (e.g., using secure network(s) and/or a blockchain), providing it for later access and modification by a number of trusted users, to track and control manufacturing-, maintenance-relevant or other factors. In still other example aspects, an enterprise resource planning system both outputs information to, and receives information from, the control system, reconciling changes in the data.

  • Patent number: 11941599
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable a processor to automatically detect anomalous user-specified data by receiving an electronic activity verification associated with an electronic activity of a user account, including a value associated with an electronic activity, and a user-specified value indicative of an additional value specified by a user for the electronic activity. The processor generates a feature vector including the verified value and the user-specified value and utilizes an anomalous attribute classification model to ingest the feature vector to determine an anomaly classification based on learned model parameters. The processor generates a dispute graphical user interface (GUI) including an alert message and a dispute interface element, that upon a user interaction causes an electronic request to dispute the electronic activity verification to prevent an execution of the electronic activity.

  • Patent number: 11935067
    Abstract: A system including: one or more processors; a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors are configured to cause the system to receive primary and secondary user account data. The system generates one or more predictive model systems based on the primary and secondary user account data. The system receives a first input from the primary user corresponding to a first spending limitation for the secondary user. The system identifies a first transaction of the secondary user exceeding the spending limitation and determines using the one or more predictive model systems whether to authorize a spending limitation override. The system automatically authorizes the spending limitation override when the first transaction exceeds the spending limitation by less than a predetermined threshold. The system can also identify and automatically fund recurring transactions with an associated funding account using the one or more predictive model systems.

  • Patent number: 11935096
    Abstract: A system and method according to which a donation transaction is conducted. The method includes providing, via a network, an embeddable form, wherein the embeddable form is associated with a non-profit, and wherein the embeddable form is adapted to be displayed on a graphical user interface to receive payment data and payment metadata associated with the payment data. The method also includes: transmitting, via the embeddable form and the network, the payment data to a third-party server for tokenization of the payment data; receiving, by a software development kit (“SDK”) and via the network, a unique token associated with the payment data, and the payment metadata associated with the payment data; executing, by the SDK, the donation transaction in accordance with the unique token and the payment metadata; and storing, by the SDK, the unique token associated with the payment data and the payment metadata.
