  • Patent number: 12770168
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an automated teller machine (ATM) having personal object scanning and appraisal capabilities, which, in some implementations, can be used for improved valuable personal property (VPP) insurance. The ATM can allow a user to place a personal object in a receptacle having scanning and sensing capabilities provided via, for example, cameras, depth sensors, scales, etc. The ATM can generate a model of the personal object based on the data generated by such scanners and/or sensors, and can apply artificial intelligence models to identify properties of the object. The ATM can further apply a machine learning model trained on known personal objects and past insurance claims to determine a value for the personal object. In some implementations, the ATM can be used in a claims process to compare an original scan of the personal object with a later scan to assess damage.

  • Patent number: 12755289
    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer readable storage media, and systems that dynamically map tokens according to predicted characteristics of the transaction. Specifically, the disclosed system accesses information associated with a payment account including characteristics of previous transactions associated with the payment account, which corresponds to a plurality of separate sub-accounts (e.g., a debit account and a credit account). The disclosed system determines predicted transaction characteristics for the next future transaction based on the information associated with the payment account. Furthermore, the disclosed system generates a request to a payment network to re-map a token associated with the payment account in connection with a selected sub-account according to the predicted transaction characteristics and a set of rules. The disclosed system also processes a subsequent transaction routed based on the re-mapped token in connection with the selected sub-account.

  • Patent number: 12682345
    Abstract: A process may cause a gated autonomous program protocol to be stored on a blockchain. The gated autonomous program protocol is configured to exchange a blockchain unit with a gated wrapped blockchain unit that is exchangeable among blockchain addresses that satisfy one or more gating requirements. The process may verify that an account associated with a particular blockchain address of the blockchain satisfies the one or more gating requirements. The process may cause an issuance of an on-chain verification proof to the particular blockchain address. The on-chain verification proof may be stored on the blockchain as an on-chain representation that the particular blockchain address is verified with the one or more gating requirements. The gated autonomous program protocol verifies the on-chain verification proof before approving a transaction request associated with the gated wrapped blockchain unit that is initiated by the particular blockchain address.

  • Patent number: 12639681
    Abstract: An automatic billing enrollment (ABE) computing device and methods for automatically enrolling a merchant in a bill paying application are provided. The ABE computing device receives a payment transaction associated with a cardholder account, identifies a merchant associated with the payment transaction, and determines whether the merchant is enrolled with a bill pay application associated with the cardholder account by performing a database lookup of enrolled merchants. The ABE computing device then transmits a message to a user device associated with the cardholder account indicating that the identified merchant is not enrolled by the cardholder with the bill pay application and includes an option for the cardholder to enroll the merchant. To enroll the merchant, the ABE computing device determines merchant-associated data elements required by the bill pay application to enroll the merchant, retrieves the data elements, and inputs the data elements into the bill pay application.
