  • Patent number: 11908010
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for determining implied orders in an electronic trading system is provided. The method comprises receiving a first set of one or more real orders, wherein the orders are not tradable against each other.

  • Patent number: 11900464
    Abstract: An automated method for resolving a debtor's debt obligation to a creditor uses a rating algorithm that implements predictive analytics to determine an anticipated amount for which the creditor will settle the debt. A debt purchase amount to be offered to the Debtor to have a third-party entity fully assume the Debtor's debt obligation is calculated based on the anticipated amount for which the creditor will settle the debt and operating costs and profit margin of the third-party entity. An offer to the Debtor to have the third-party entity fully assume the Debtor's debt obligation for the debt purchase amount is generated and sent with a document indicating that the Debtor has agreed to transfer the Debtor's debt obligation to the third-party entity pursuant to the offer. The creditor is notified that the third-party entity has assumed responsibility for the Debtor's debt obligation and resolved the Debtor's debt obligation.

  • Patent number: 11900387
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes providing transaction retry notifications to merchants based on monitored account usage. An insufficient funds message of a first transaction is received that indicates the first transaction includes a payment to be provided to a merchant from an account and that the account has insufficient funds for the first transaction. An account identifier of the account is stored and a transaction message of a second transaction associated with the account is detected based on the stored account identifier. The transaction message indicates that the account has sufficient funds for the second transaction. Based on detecting the transaction message, a transaction retry notification is sent to the merchant, whereby the merchant is notified that the account with which the first transaction is associated includes a quantity of funds. The disclosure enables merchants to optimize the timing or retrying failed transactions and thereby reduce costs associated with transaction retries.

  • Patent number: 11842300
    Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method detect and act upon operator reliance to vehicle alerts. The system and method include receiving user profile data of an operator that includes a baseline of at least one driving activity aided by activation of an alert from a feature of an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). The system and method may include receiving historical ADAS alert frequency data including a history of at least one driving activity aided by activation of the alert from the ADAS feature. The system and method may compare the user profile data with the historical ADAS alert frequency data, determine a reliance level based upon the comparing, and set at least a portion of an operator profile associated with the operator with the reliance level. As a result, a risk averse driver, and/or proper responsiveness to vehicle alerts may be rewarded with insurance-cost savings, such as increased discounts.
