  • Patent number: 11645389
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and computer readable media related to fraud detection. Fraud detection is achieved using a flexible scripting language and syntax that simplifies the generation of fraud detection rules. The rules are structured as conditional IF-THEN statements that include data objects referred to as Anchors and Add-Ons. The Anchors and Add-Ons used to generate the rules also correspond to a distinct data path for the retrieval data from any of a variety of data sources. The retrieval of data from the various data sources is optimized based on data dependencies within the rules. By knowing the data dependencies of each rule and utilizing parallelization of rule execution, the retrievals of data from the data sources is achieved efficiently so the rules can be executed quickly.

  • Patent number: 11514460
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods capable of establishing a communication session between a user and an analyst. The contents of the communication session are analyzed to make recommendations of goods and services to the user. Otherwise, the communication session may be redirected from one channel, for example, chatting to another channel, for example, voice call, to another analyst. The user's information and the communication session details are retained, and provided to another analyst before the user is redirected. Such systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products use real-time machine learning scoring algorithm to determine which analyst the users should be transferred to, and thereby saving a lot of time for both the analysts and the users, and significantly reduce misroutes by eliminating human errors.

  • Patent number: 11132756
    Abstract: A method for registering an Internet of Things (IoT) device to an incident IoT ledger system is provided. A computer aided dispatch (CAD) device sends a first ledger request including an incident record to a distributed incident ledger operated by validation nodes. The CAD device receives a first ledger response indicating that the incident record was accepted and added into the incident ledger after being validated by the nodes. The CAD device then sends a second ledger request to an IoT distributed ledger operated by second validation nodes. The request includes a query to the IoT distributed ledger to find registered IoT devices for affiliating with the incident. The CAD device receives a second ledger response including information identifying registered IoT devices from the IoT distributed ledger. The CAD device then sends an affiliation invitation to an IoT device determined from the registered IoT devices identified in the second ledger response.

  • Patent number: 11120455
    Abstract: There is provided systems and method for intelligent channel steering based on dynamically determined intents during channel interactions. A user may contact an organization, such as an online service or payment provider through a first communication channel in order to seek assistance or resolution with some help query or request. The organization's system may dynamically prioritize the user's intent when submitting the help request and based on the user's actions during the communications. The system may further present other communication channels that may assist the user in resolving their help request. The user may be steered to one or more of those channels. When navigating between channels a data object may be generated in the first channel that tracks the user's intent, actions, and steps taken to resolution, which may be transferred between channels and translated to a code or scripting language handled by the other channel.
