  • Patent number: 11842400
    Abstract: System and method for electronic order management processing may include a sequencer that updates a parent order status maintained at the sequencer based on an order instruction and generates and multicasts to interface processors of a host server a sequence of events generated based on order instructions and a current order state of the parent order. An event may indicate an order instruction of or related to the parent order, confirmation of completion of a client order or an exchange order of a trade of a portion of the parent order, or an order instruction related to the parent order determined to be in conflict with the current order state. Events may be stored on a queue at a host server according to global sequence numbers assigned at the sequencer, and the interface processors may determine a next action for order processing based on the events on the queue.

  • Patent number: 11756042
    Abstract: A system is described that identifies, based on contextual information associated with a device that is located at a physical location associated with a merchant, a product that a user of the device is at the physical location to purchase. The system executes an autonomous search query for product information that is predicted to assist the user in completing a purchase of the product, from the merchant, at the physical location. The system sends the product information to the device, and for subsequent output. The system determines whether a degree of likelihood that the user will complete the purchase in response to receiving the product information satisfies a likelihood threshold, if not, the system executes a remote assistance module accessed by the device to provide a virtual environment in which a human provides additional information that the user needs to complete the purchase.

  • Patent number: 11734668
    Abstract: A system and method of operating a digital financial system to extend access to digital banking to those individuals that never had a financial or digital currency account. Users are able to share their internet with other users of the digital banking app of this invention, who are nearby and have no internet connection, to conduct financial transactions by sharing the internet between them. This increases social and financial inclusion to allow unbanked that have a smartphone to have access to the internet and to affordable digital banking. It also improves on the prior art with legal compliance of country of residence verification aided by technology rather than relying solely on information provided by the users. Thereby requesting stricter verification documents to such very small minority of users who are flagged as potentially non-compliant and leave the vast majority alone enjoying their digital banking experience without exhaustive or annoying processes.

  • Patent number: 11727514
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for brand and license hierarchy management to improve brand governance. A hierarchal data structure permits tracking of products, associating items separately with brands and licenses, so that a subset of items associated with a particular brand may have differing license associations. The hierarchal structure advantageously facilitates nesting of primary and secondary (or more) brands and licenses to provide for more reliable automated royalty payment management that can reduce risks of missing payments or making unnecessary duplicate payments. A factory tracking functionality assists compliance with regulatory and ethical sourcing requirements to help reduce reputational and financial risks, for example with private brands, exclusive brands, and imported items.

  • Patent number: 11720962
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating tree-based models with improved fairness are disclosed. The disclosed process generates a first tree-based machine learning model, which is preferably trained to predict if a financial loan will be repaid. The process also determines an accuracy of the first tree-based machine learning mode. In addition, the process determines a fairness of the first tree-based machine learning model. The fairness is preferably associated with at least one of gender, race, ethnicity, age, marital status, military status, sexual orientation, and disability status. The process then generates a second different tree-based machine learning model, which is preferably trained based on the accuracy of the first tree-based machine learning model and the fairness of the first tree-based machine learning model. The process then combines the first tree-based machine learning model and the second tree-based machine learning model to produce a gradient-boosted machine learning model.
