  • Patent number: 11704664
    Abstract: A method for managing secure processing of electronic payment transactions includes receiving a request submitted by a merchant computing system for a security verifier. The security verifier is to be displayed on an electronic display associated with the merchant computing system. A set of security credentials received from a security service provider is measured against a security threshold. When the set of security credentials meets the security threshold, a uniform resource locator (“URL”) is transmitted to the merchant computing system. The URL identifies the security verifier to be retrieved and displayed at the electronic display associated with the merchant computing system.

  • Patent number: 11676210
    Abstract: A computer implemented method and associated hardware provides optimization of a delivery or settlement process for a group of portfolios and calculation of a transaction suggestion to one or more participants. Data records, identified in a portfolio data structure, are indicative of obligations between participants. A weighted directed graph data structure is generated and includes vertex data records representing the participants and edge data records representing the obligations between participants. The weighted directed graph structure is analyzed for at least one series of multiple vertex data records or multiple edge data records. A proposed edge associated with a first vertex of the series and a second vertex of the at least one series is identified. A report is generated that describes at least one transaction in response to the proposed edge associated with the first vertex of the series and the second vertex of the series for the at least one of the participants.

  • Patent number: 11599952
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a risk monitoring data store may contain a set of electronic data records, with each electronic data record being associated with a stream of sensor data received via a communication network from a remote set of sensor systems located at a risk monitoring site. A risk analytics platform computer may receive information associated with the sensor data in substantially real-time and analyze the received sensor data, using at least one risk analytics algorithm, to detect an abnormal pattern associated with a predicted elevated level of risk at the risk monitoring site. The risk analytics platform computer may also automatically transmit a result of the analysis to a risk operations platform. The risk operations platform may then implement an active risk mitigation adjustment at the risk monitoring site responsive to the result of the analysis.

  • Patent number: 11556982
    Abstract: A central database system allows entities to easily manage human resources functions. An entity requests that the central database system executes an employer function on its behalf, and the central database system determines a probability of the entity defaulting before the entity can finalize the employer function with the central database system. The central database system can train and apply a machine-learned model to dynamically determine the default probability for the entity. Based on the default probability, the central database system determines a risk tolerance associated with the employer function and determines whether to process or challenge the employer function based on the risk tolerance and the default probability.
