  • Patent number: 11756135
    Abstract: Entities may reference ledgers in order to better understand a historic use and/or status of an account. For example, a user may track historic spending or received payments based on referencing a ledger, or an enterprise may check a balance of an account for a user based on a ledger. However, the utility of ledgers in estimating an amount of funds available for a user's use is limited. Embodiments of a financial analyzer as described herein may provide entities with estimations of finances that include contributions from one or multiple income sources, including irregular sources. Some embodiments may provide recommendations to customers to meet needs based on a financial estimation.

  • Patent number: 11715474
    Abstract: A pervasive advisor for major purchases and other expenditures may detect that a customer is contemplating a major purchase (e.g., through active listening). The advisor may assist the customer with the timing and manner of making the purchase in a way that is financially sensible in view of the customer's financial situation. A customer may be provided with dynamically-updated information in response to recent actions that may affect an approved loan amount and/or interest rate. Underwriting of a loan may be triggered based on the geo-location of the user. Financial advice may be provided to customers to help them meet their goals using information obtained from third party sources, such as purchase options based on particular goals. The pervasive advisor may thus intervene to assist with budgeting, financing, and timing of major expenditures based on the customer's location and on the customer's unique and changing circumstances.

  • Patent number: 11694292
    Abstract: A system and method includes soft-segment based rules optimization that can mitigate the overall false positives while maintaining 100% true positive detection. The soft clustering allows real-time re-assignment of an account to a dominate archetype behavior, as well as rule optimization based on a logical order with more relaxation on thresholds for the most inefficient rules is performed within each archetype. The rule optimization provides false positive reduction compared to a baseline rule system. The method can be used to reduce false positives for any rule-based detection system in which the same true positive detection is required.
