  • Patent number: 12223552
    Abstract: Implementations ingest records across multiple accounts hosted by different service providers and augment the records with metadata. For example, ingesting can include processing the records to identify transactions in the records and to discover additional aspects of the transactions. In some implementations, metadata can be used to augment the identified transactions in the records, where metadata can include a category, a digital receipt, a user tag such as a geotag, and other suitable metadata. The ingesting and augmenting the records can populate a coordination data structure with identified transactions and their associated data elements. These identified transactions can then be queried and a result set of transactions that span the different user accounts can be returned. In some implementations, the transactions can be queried using the augmented metadata, or other suitable pieces of information for the transactions.

  • Patent number: 12217271
    Abstract: Various embodiments leverage artificial intelligence in identifying and potentially resolving compliance issues (e.g., with regulatory requirements, client-specified requirements, certification conditions, etc.), or preventing violations of law, rules and regulations. The AI can be configured to automatically generate requests for information. For example, a system analysis component can be configured to identify a specific compliance target (e.g., a branch location) and select or automatically generate questions to collect responsive information to ensure compliance, identify potential violations, and define any evidence required to identify or resolve issues (e.g., prove compliance, support potential violations, flagged issues, etc.). According to one example, the system can use trained AI models to analyze a set of rules and/or requirements to efficiently build questionnaires to address or demonstrate compliance.

  • Patent number: 12205096
    Abstract: Arrangements for haptic feedback control are provided. In some aspects, registration data may be received from a user. For instance, a user may identify one or more devices (e.g., payment devices such as credit or debit cards, mobile devices, or the like) associated with the user. In some examples, the user may also select customized haptic feedback associated with different feedback outputs. After receiving registration data, the computing platform may receive a request to process a transaction. The transaction may be initiated at a point-of-sale system of an entity via the payment device or card of the user. Transaction details may be analyzed to determine or identify a feedback output (e.g., approved, denied, request additional information or the like). Based on the identified feedback output, a feedback output command or instruction may be generated and transmitted to the payment device for execution.

  • Patent number: 12198102
    Abstract: A digital recruitment system and a method to enable a candidate to create, edit, upload a multimedia comprising a job application comprising video, audio etc. in one or more sections to apply for a job is provided. Further, the system allows the candidate and recruiter(s) to exchange information with each other via videos (or multimedia), video chats, audio chats, etc. The system protects a job application and/or a multimedia response from the recruiter from editing by a third person other than an owner, wherein the candidate is the owner of the job application and the recruiter is the owner of the multimedia response. The system may embed time and location information into the multimedia; therefore, the system allows the users (candidate and recruiters) to generate authentic multimedia. Further, the system may augment more information in the multimedia automatically or based on an input from the owner of the multimedia.

  • Patent number: 12190287
    Abstract: The disclosed system and method relate to automatically detecting empty spaces on retail store shelves, identifying the missing product(s) and causing the space to be replenished or restocked. For example, stores may use shelf-mounted imaging devices to capture images of shelves across the aisle from the imaging devices. The images captured by the imaging devices may be pre-processed to de-warp, de-skew images and stitch together multiple images in order to retrieve an image that captures a full width of a shelf. The pre-processed images can then be used to detect products on the shelf, identify the detected products. An iterative projection algorithm or product fingerprint matching algorithm can be used to identify the products. When an incorrect product listing or an empty shelf space is encountered, a message may be sent to the store employee to remedy the issue.
