  • Patent number: 11756116
    Abstract: A computer system for facilitating peer-to-peer anonymous lending between members of a business syndicate is disclosed. The system is structured to generate, by a disaster funding modeler circuit, based on disaster and economy data received from an external source, a projection of a need for a loan for a particular syndicate member located in a particular geographical area. The location of the syndicate member is determined based on member-provided information and/or based on global positioning system (GPS) information received from the member's computing device. This information is supplemented by additional information received from a municipality computer system (e.g., vehicle positioning information). The system is further structured to facilitate a peer-to-peer loan transaction.

  • Patent number: 11748816
    Abstract: Methods and systems for communicating data with an electric vehicle are disclosed. According to some aspects, insurance risk related data associated with use of the electric vehicle may be collected and stored in one or more memories included in the electric vehicle. When the electric vehicle is connected to an electrical grid for charging a battery included in the electric vehicle, in some implementations, a power-line communication unit may transmit the insurance risk related data over the electrical grid to one or more remote computer systems. The insurance risk related data may be used by an insurer to calculate insurance rating data so that an insurance premium (or rate, discount, usage-based insurance, etc.) associated with the electric vehicle and/or its driver can be adjusted to more accurately reflect a risk of recognizable loss. The insurance risk data may be related to driving or driving behavior, and/or vehicle operation.

  • Patent number: 11715104
    Abstract: Systems and methods of executing a real-time electronic transaction by a real-time transaction system are disclosed. One method includes receiving, by an application programing interface (API) system, an electronic transaction request from a user. The API system may transmit the electronic transaction request to a choreographer system. The choreographer system may transmit a validation API call based on the electronic transaction request to an account system. The account system may determine whether an account associated with the electronic transaction request exists in the real-time transaction system. The choreographer system may transmit an authorization API call based on the electronic transaction request to an authorization system. The choreographer system may receive an authorization response from the authorization system.

  • Patent number: 11710186
    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses may determine, for a geographic region and based on geolocation data, a plurality of sub-regions, where each sub-region of the plurality of sub-regions may include real properties with a shared profile. The system may associate, with each sub-region, a collection of coordinate pairs, where each coordinate pair comprises a latitude and a longitude, and the collection describes a boundary of a geometric shape corresponding to the sub-region. The system may associate, with the geographic region, geometric shapes corresponding to the plurality of sub-regions. The system may associate, with each geometric shape, a rating factor for the real properties located within the sub-region corresponding to the geometric shape. The system may store the geometric shapes and rating factors, and may generate, based on the rating factor and for the real properties located within the sub-region, an output, and provide the generated output.

  • Patent number: 11704652
    Abstract: A computer-implemented augmented reality-based method provides a user device access to data content by processing of camera image captured by the user device to identify a candidate visual area, which are then processed to identify visual features indicative of available data content. The identified features are compared to visual features of database objects indicative of available data content, and a determination made regarding the object that corresponds to the identified features. Instructions are then generated to augment a display of the camera image with selectable image features. In response to a selection of one of the selectable image features, a determination is made regarding whether the user device has permission to access the data content associated with the selected image feature. If not, a payment settlement arrangement is implemented for the user device to gain access permission to the data content.

  • Patent number: 11699140
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to determining whether geographic locations of a user computing device satisfy a location consensus threshold. A computer system receives results of a plurality of location determination operations, each of which specifies a geographic location of a computing device initiating an action. The computer system then makes a determination whether the received results satisfy a consensus threshold as to geographic location of the computing device. In some embodiments, the determination is usable to select, from a plurality of sets of rules for different geographic regions, a particular set of rules for processing the action. In some cases, the particular set of rules is usable to determine whether to process the action. Such techniques may advantageously allow a processing system to understand how to process actions initiated by a computing device associated with different geographic locations.

  • Patent number: 11657395
    Abstract: Technologies for managing payment authorization request messaging for payment transactions include a transaction management controller. The transaction management controller receives a transaction amount for a payment transaction from a business management engine and a payment transaction type from a point of interaction device. The transaction management controller initializes a transaction processing module that corresponds to the received payment transaction type. The transaction processing module defines payment processing parameters for processing payment transactions of the payment transaction type. One or more of the payment processing parameters are modified based on configuration data received from a remote configuration device. The transaction management controller processes the payment transaction as a function of the payment processing parameters. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11647048
    Abstract: A method is disclosed. A server computer may receive, from a client computer, a first rule comprising one or more variables, the first rule configured to predict that an event is either a first classification or a second classification. The server computer applies the first rule to an initial data set of events to identify events that are associated with the first classification. The server computer evaluates performance of the first rule. The server computer provides data relating to the performance of the first rule to the client computer. The client computer automatically evaluates the performance of the first rule and generates a second rule in response to the data relating to the performance of the first rule. The server computer may then evaluate the second rule and provide performance data to the client computer. The server computer may use equi-height histograms to evaluate the performance of the rules.
