  • Patent number: 12033210
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more loan origination systems can obtain, from a credit reporting system, credit report data for a mortgage loan applicant. The one or more loan origination systems can determine that the mortgage loan applicant does not qualify for a mortgage loan product based on the credit report data obtained from the credit reporting system. The one or more mortgage loan origination systems can obtain data representing a non-mortgage loan product for which the mortgage loan applicant qualifies based on the credit report data. The one or more loan origination systems can generate a modified version of the mortgage loan applicant's credit report data based on the non-mortgage loan product and determine that the mortgage loan applicant would qualify for the mortgage loan product based on the modified version of the credit report data.

  • Patent number: 12026720
    Abstract: Systems and methods for blockchain-based asset authentication are described. The disclosed embodiments leverage the traceability and immutability of blockchains (or distributed ledgers, in general) to enable the authentication and ownership of assets, e.g., luxury goods. In an example, this is achieved by first pairing an authentication chip with a physical product, and writing a transaction correlated with the first pairing to a blockchain. The product being acquired (reacquired) results in the blockchain being updated (e.g., an updated transaction being written to the blockchain) and the (subsequent) owner being provided with a digital passport that can be added to the owner's digital Web3 wallet. The described embodiments advantageously enable digital identities to be associated with physical goods, which adds value for customers making a long-term investment in a luxury good, and promotes sustainability and transparency in manufacturing and retail processes.

  • Patent number: 12020261
    Abstract: The system and methods described herein provide a way for writers and publishers to stand behind individual and combined facts in their work by offering a bounty to a person who can supersede their own data in support of the fact's accuracy with better data, as measured by a pre-established fact evaluation guideline. Once sufficiently vetted by this system, facts are added to an apolitical certified fact database. Facts in the certified fact database also have a bounty upon their accuracy, however financial responsibility for the bounty is transferred to the system. Subscribers to the system may then download and use fact contained within the certified fact database to enhance their own work, while benefiting from the enhanced readership, interest and trustworthiness provided by virtue of the bounty.

  • Patent number: 12008654
    Abstract: A mobile device initiates automatic action-based product provisioning for rides. The mobile device detects a ride protection trigger and alerts a management server of the detected ride protection trigger. The mobile device also retrieves ride information from a ride application and sends the ride information to the management server. The management server determines a ride action based on the ride protection trigger and the ride information. The management server identifies a product based on the determined ride action and sends the ride information and a request for a dynamic product to a product provisioning server. The product provisioning server generates the dynamic product based on the request and the ride information and sends the generated dynamic product to the management server. The management server may send the dynamic product to the mobile device for display.

  • Patent number: 11961085
    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to Spend Limit Systems for gas-station refuel transactions. An exemplary system may receive vehicle information identifying a customer's vehicle and identify associated vehicle characteristics (e.g., gas tank size). The system may identify a known gas-station transaction geographic region for the customer. When the customer (or a fraudster) attempts to purchase gas, the system may receive a transaction request and, in response, set a single transaction limit sufficient to fill the gas tank size with gas and an associated spend limit. The system may also determine whether the merchant location falls within the known gas-station transaction geographic region. When it does, the system may approve the transaction request up to the spend limit. Otherwise, the system may perform one or more fraud prevention actions to authenticate the customer and either approve or deny the transaction request up to the spend limit and/or selectively perform fraud mitigation action(s).
