  • Patent number: 11704652
    Abstract: A computer-implemented augmented reality-based method provides a user device access to data content by processing of camera image captured by the user device to identify a candidate visual area, which are then processed to identify visual features indicative of available data content. The identified features are compared to visual features of database objects indicative of available data content, and a determination made regarding the object that corresponds to the identified features. Instructions are then generated to augment a display of the camera image with selectable image features. In response to a selection of one of the selectable image features, a determination is made regarding whether the user device has permission to access the data content associated with the selected image feature. If not, a payment settlement arrangement is implemented for the user device to gain access permission to the data content.

  • Patent number: 11699140
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to determining whether geographic locations of a user computing device satisfy a location consensus threshold. A computer system receives results of a plurality of location determination operations, each of which specifies a geographic location of a computing device initiating an action. The computer system then makes a determination whether the received results satisfy a consensus threshold as to geographic location of the computing device. In some embodiments, the determination is usable to select, from a plurality of sets of rules for different geographic regions, a particular set of rules for processing the action. In some cases, the particular set of rules is usable to determine whether to process the action. Such techniques may advantageously allow a processing system to understand how to process actions initiated by a computing device associated with different geographic locations.

  • Patent number: 11481846
    Abstract: A claim adjudication system including an automatic adjudication pipeline that uses pipeline rules to automatically adjudicate a claim associated with a benefit plan at one or more stages. The automatic adjudication pipeline can redirect the claim to a user interface for manual review when a pipeline rule associated with a manual review condition is triggered. The user interface can present information about the claim relevant to the manual review condition in an integrated format, including highlighting the reasons for the manual review. A user can evaluate the claim in the user interface and provide user input that addresses the manual review condition, and the claim can be routed back to the automatic adjudication pipeline. The user input can also be used as training data for machine learning to adjust pipeline rules that are used to automatically process claims and to redirect future claims for manual review.
