  • Patent number: 12664585
    Abstract: Message processing is described, in which each of first and second computer systems have a message operator configured to process messages to manage a data structure having a state determined via the processing. The message operator of the first computer system is configured to reroute unprocessed messages to the message operator of the second computer system such that the message operator of the second computer system establishes an order of an input message stream and a current state of the data structure arising from the input message stream. The message operator of the second computer system is configured to, once the current state is established, send the messages of the input message stream to the message operator of the first computer system in accordance with the established order such that the current state of data structure is recreated by the message operator of the first computer system.

  • Patent number: 12597066
    Abstract: A federated-data-room server manages information about a collection of electronic documents residing elsewhere (under different organizational/customer control). The server can anchor documents to a blockchain, record usage history of each document, and provide access to the documents for authorized users. As a result, the federated-data-room server operates on customers' data, while leaving the data in control of the customers. At the same time, the federated-data-room server provides data access and enables traceability via blockchain recordation of document identifiers and document hash values.

  • Patent number: 11954190
    Abstract: Biometric information is obtained from a user. A determination is made that the obtained biometric information matches at least one entry in a biometric database. In response to determining that the obtained biometric information matches the at least one entry in the biometric database, non-biometric verification information is obtained. A determination is made as to whether at least a portion of the non-biometric verification information matches at least a portion of preset non-biometric verification information associated with the user. In response to determining that the at least a portion of the non-biometric verification information matches, a determination is made that an identity of the user is verified. In response to determining that the at least a portion of the non-biometric verification information does not match, a determination is made that the identity of the user is not verified.

  • Patent number: 11893634
    Abstract: A method and system may detect and correct errors in consumer reporting. A secure data file such as a Metro 2® formatted file may be obtained for a consumer that includes the consumer's credit information. A consumer reporting server may generate a non-sensitive private information (non-SPI) consumer identifier that references non-SPI consumer credit information included in the Metro 2® formatted file. Then a member of the organization may access the non-SPI consumer credit information to review the non-SPI consumer credit information and detect and correct errors. Errors may be detected by training a machine learning model using a first set of non-sensitive private information (non-SPI) consumer credit information from statements including errors and a second set of non-SPI consumer credit information from statements that do not include errors. The non-SPI consumer credit information for the consumer may be applied to the model to identify errors.

  • Patent number: 11568376
    Abstract: A method includes initiating, by a first computing device, an interaction with a second computing device. The first computing device includes a first digital asset unit and the second computing device includes a second digital asset unit. The first digital asset unit stores assignable tokens. The method further includes determining to assign conditional access rights to an amount of the assignable tokens to the second digital asset unit where the conditional access rights are in accordance with a set of conditions. The assignment of conditional access rights is a self-enforcing smart contract embedded in an assignable token distributed ledger technology. The method further includes locking the amount of the assignable tokens stored in the first digital asset unit and providing the conditional access rights to the amount of the assignable tokens to second digital asset unit. The second digital asset unit does not store the amount of the assignable tokens.
