Patent number: 12346971Abstract: A multi-vendor risk relationship data store may contain electronic records representing a plurality of risk relationships between multiple vendors and an enterprise and, for each risk relationship, an electronic record identifier and a set of attribute values. An information sharing portal computer server may exchange an information request with a remote vendor platform. The information request may be, for example, associated with an employee of a sponsor associated with the vendor platform. The server may process the information request via a customized vendor-specific information sharing portal interface display and execute an algorithm to adjust, based on at least one attribute value, interactions with the vendor platform via the portal interface display. The server may also aggregate information associated with a plurality of vendor platforms and transmit the aggregated information to a remote administrator device associated with the enterprise.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2023Date of Patent: July 1, 2025Assignee: HARTFORD FIRE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Keith L Nelson, Pamela M.

Patent number: 12282963Abstract: Methods and systems described herein are directed to automatedly generating and issuing accident data gathering recommendations for a vehicle accident occurrence. In response to a recommendation system detecting an occurrence of a vehicle accident, the system can retrieve initial accident data for the occurrence. Using the initial accident data, the system can generate accident data gathering recommendations to obtain additional accident data via mapping to one or more characteristics for the vehicle accident occurrence. The recommendations, when executed, can yield additional accident data that can be compiled with the initial accident data into a vehicle accident evidence package.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2022Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Angelica Nichole White, Sean Carl Mitchem, Sean Michael Wayne Craig, Subhalaskshmi Selvam, Christopher Russell, Brian Howard Katz, Roberto Virgillio Jolliffe

Patent number: 11797604Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprises an analytic server, which aggregates different accounts for a user. The analytic server queries data associated with the user. From the queried data, the analytic server determines the accounts and the account servers. From the account servers, the analytic server queries the transactions of the accounts. The analytic server generates an instance to aggregate the determined accounts and transactions. The analytic server further scans the user's email content to determine potentially unknown transactions. The analytic server compares the potentially unknown transaction from the email content with the transactions in the instance. If there is no match, the analytic server determines the account of the potentially unknown transaction from the email content is a new account that is not aggregated. The analytic server notifies the user regarding the new account and updates the instance to reflect the new account.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance CompanyInventors: Durga Nagalla, Ryan White

Patent number: 11645656Abstract: In general, in one aspect, one or more embodiments relate to a method including receiving, in a business rules engine, input data from disparate data sources. The input data describes a merchant and an application by the merchant to use an electronic payments system for processing transactions between the merchant and customers. Featurization is performed on the input data to form a machine readable vector. By applying the machine readable vector as input to a machine learning model in a machine learning layer, a risk score is predicted. The machine learning model is trained using training data describing use of the electronic payments system by other merchants. The risk score is an estimated probability of the merchant being unable to satisfy an obligation of using the electronic payments system. A business rules engine, based on the risk score, limits use of the electronic payments system by the merchant.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2019Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: Intuit Inc.Inventors: Natalie De Shetler, Henry Venturelli, Taylor Cressy, Nikolas Terani

Patent number: 11451647Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to implementation, such as by a message processing system architecture, of a message handling system and/or protocol which mitigates optimistic messaging behavior. Optimistic messaging behavior may at least refer to the transmission, in whole or in part, of a message, or of one or more messages of a sequence thereof, to a receiving system, such as the system implemented by the disclosed embodiments, prior to the sender determining that the message(s) is/are desired, alone or in conjunction with subsequently canceling or otherwise invalidating the message(s) once it has been determined that it is not desired. The disclosed embodiments mitigate such behavior by detecting and taking action with respect to these types of messages to deter optimizing behavior which may or may not be manipulative, while maintaining reliable message handling under increasing processing loads with minimal impact on users being able to send messages to the system.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.Inventors: David Alan Lariviere, Bernard Pieter Hosman, Pearce Ian Peck-Walden, Ari L.
