  • Patent number: 11610267
    Abstract: A system and method for rules-driven adjudication is disclosed. The system includes a storage includes a rule library having a plurality of rules, each rule being in a human-readable format and including a first data tag, a comparator, a comparison value, and a result. The system also includes a rules manager configured to receive and store a new rule. The system includes a rules evaluator configured to receive an adjudication request having a data object associated with a data tag, and evaluate the request and create a primary determination by applying a first rule to the request, and further applying a first subsequent rule and all logically adjacent rules until all logically adjacent rules have been exhausted and the primary determination is an indefinite outcome or the applying of a final rule returns an outcome that becomes the primary determination.

  • Patent number: 11587079
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for a single degree tiered bracket matrix for secure digital resource distribution across a digital resource distribution network. In this way, the invention interrupts a digital resource distribution network and displays a tiered bracket matrix for a user to select from on the digital resource distribution network application. The tiered bracket matrix is determined by matching database points with an overlayed, timestamped, resource distribution network distributions for prepopulating of the matrix. Upon matching a user device contact hash value, the system may interrupt a resource distribution network application and splice in recommended users for resource distribution via the resource distribution network application in a tiered matrix display.

  • Patent number: 11580542
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing latency in transactions are described herein. In an embodiment, an application edge acts as a system of record for an application. When a client computing device sends a request to perform a transaction to the application, the application edge receives the request and, without forwarding the request to a backend computing network, searches a transaction datastore stored at the application edge for the account balance and responds to the client computing device with the account balance. The client computing device then determines that a transaction can be performed and sends a request to perform the transaction to the application. The application edge passes this request to the backend computing network which performs the requested transaction. The application edge then uses a webhook infrastructure to update each transaction datastore stored at the application edge.
