  • Patent number: 11934513
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, resource allocation related to records may be facilitated by generating and using modified instances of such records. In some embodiments, a set of records associated with a user may be stored in a memory area, where each such record includes a record identifier. In response to obtaining one or more commands related to a resource transfer from a user device associated with the user, a new set of records associated with the user may be generated such that each record of the new set is (i) a modified instance of a corresponding record of the record set and (ii) includes a record identifier different from the record identifier of the corresponding record. In one use case, the new records and its data may then be utilized to perform operations related to the user commands. In another use case, the new records may replace its older corresponding records.
