  • Patent number: 11544780
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for constructing a customized debt reduction plan for a user. In some implementations, a customized debt reduction system obtains a plurality of financial attributes of the user and a plurality of other users, where the plurality of financial attributes are indicative of credit card debt, and identifies users from the plurality of other users who successfully repaid their credit card debt based on their respective financial attributes and one or more repayment techniques that resulted in successful repayment of their credit card debt. The customized debt reduction system correlates the plurality of financial attributes of the user with the plurality of financial attributes of a number of the identified users and determines a personalized score for the user, using a trained machine learning model, based on the correlation to determine a customized debt reduction plan for the user based on the personalized score.

  • Patent number: 11531978
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention make consumer application adoption more efficient by giving suppliers access to the desired target audience by displaying the applications to the right audience. Suppliers can provide criteria for the kinds of users they are looking to target using constraints. Embodiments of the invention enable viewers that match the constraints to see the service. The user gets to see an automatically generated application set, that is instantly available, with a high probability of containing the application the user is likely to seek. Identity and Payment support are built into the platform, such that the user no longer needs to register with each application or set up payment with each application. In addition, the platform reduces bandwidth consumption, storage front print, and power consumption of the user device by choosing when and which modules to download to the user device.

  • Patent number: 11526880
    Abstract: An electronic device generates a dynamic security code for a card transaction, e.g. a card not present transaction. The electronic device receives a user request to generate a dynamic security code. The electronic device sends a time request to a time source and receives a message including a time from the time source. The electronic device determines an authenticity of the message containing the time and computes the dynamic security code based on the time received in the message and a key stored at the electronic device. The electronic device causes the dynamic security code to be displayed on a display of the electronic device. The electronic device may be capable of computing a dynamic security code for a plurality of different cards. The electronic device may be a smart phone, a tablet, or a personal computer.

  • Patent number: 11526936
    Abstract: A graphical structure model trained by using labeled samples is obtained. The graphical structure model is defined based on an enterprise relationship network that includes nodes and edges. Each labeled sample includes a label indicating whether a corresponding node is a risky credit node. The graphical structure model is configured to iteratively calculate an embedding vector of at least one node in a hidden feature space based on an original feature of the at least one node and/or a feature of an edge associated with the at least one node. An embedding vector corresponding to a test-sample is calculated by using the graphical structure model. Credit risk analysis is performed on the test-sample. The credit risk analysis is performed based on a feature of the test-sample represented in the embedding vector. A node corresponding to the test-sample is labeled as a credit risk node.

  • Patent number: 11526766
    Abstract: One or more implementations of the present specification provide risk control of transactions based on a graphical structure model. A graphical structure model trained by using labeled samples is obtained. The graphical structure model is defined based on a transaction data network that includes nodes representing entities in a transaction and edges representing relationships between the entities. Each labeled sample includes a label indicating whether a node corresponding to the labeled sample is a risky transaction node. The graphical structure model is configured to iteratively calculate an embedding vector of the node in a latent feature space based on an original feature of the node or a feature of an edge associated with the node. An embedding vector of an input sample is calculated by using the graphical structure model. Transaction risk control is performed on the input sample based on the embedding vector.

  • Patent number: 11526950
    Abstract: A service engine determines that an entity meets a first nexus establishment condition for a first domain and a second nexus establishment condition for a second domain. The service engine then computes a first selected resource for the first domain and a second selected resource for the second domain. When the service engine determines that the entity no longer meets the second nexus establishment condition for the second domain, the service engine determines a nexus-ending date for the second domain. Prior to the nexus-ending date being satisfied, the service engine continues to compute the first selected resource for the first domain and the second selected resource for the second domain. In response to the nexus-ending date being satisfied, the service engine computes the first selected resource for the first domain but does not compute the second selected resource for the second domain.

  • Patent number: 11526855
    Abstract: A method for translating transaction messages includes receiving, by a server from an acquirer, an inbound transaction message that is associated with a transaction and pursuant to a first message format supported by the acquirer. The server translates the inbound transaction message from the first message format to a second message format supported by the server when the first and second message formats are different. The server processes the inbound transaction message having the second message format and generates an outbound transaction message having the second message format. The server translates the outbound transaction message from the second message format to a third message format supported by an issuer that corresponds to the transaction when the second and third message formats are different, and transmits the translated outbound transaction to the issuer for processing the transaction. Thus, the method allows the server to translate transaction messages between different message formats.

  • Patent number: 11392947
    Abstract: Techniques are described for managing devices, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, using smart contract(s) on a distributed ledger (e.g., blockchain). Smart contract(s) executing on a distributed ledger may control access to one or more devices in a home or other environment. The smart contract(s) may employ information stored on the distributed ledger and information in a transaction sent to the smart contract(s) to determine whether particular user(s) and/or process(es) may access the device(s), issue commands to the device(s), access data generated by the device(s), and/or control the device(s). The smart contract(s) may provide a secure portal through which user(s) and/or service(s) may access device(s) for command and control of such device(s), and secure access may be based on permission information that is specified or provided by an owner or operator of the device(s) and that is stored on the distributed ledger.
