  • Patent number: 11935088
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically providing a lending offer for loyalty points based on a customer account analysis. One example method includes initiating an offer analysis for a customer account associated with a particular customer and storing an account balance and a point deficit balance. The offer analysis determines whether to provide an offer for a point loan, and is based on profile information of the customer, a current point balance, and a reward identified from the loyalty account. If an offer is to be provided, an offer for a loan of points equal to the difference between the current point balance of a loyalty account and the point value cost of the reward is transmitted to a client device of the customer. If accepted, the current point balance and the point deficit are both incremented by the amount of the offer.

  • Patent number: 11928684
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure include computer systems for improving data security. To do so, an authorization request associated with a user profile is received, including a time-stamp for a profile activity, a profile identifier, and a value. Application analytics data for a software application on a user device associated with the user profile is accessed, including an open event indicator indicating a time of a loading, and a close event indicator indicating a time of a termination. An open period of the software application at the time-stamp is determined based on the application open event indicator and the application close event indicator. A reduced set of fraud checks is selected and executed when the time-stamp associated with the profile activity is within the open period of the software application. A fraud determination is generated, and an authorization notification is generated based on the fraud determination.

  • Patent number: 11887148
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for cross-platform tracking of user generated data for unified data output. A computing device may be utilized to access an online platform and perform one or more processes, including viewing an online marketplace to purchase items in a transaction. The device may be used to browse items and items may be added to a digital shopping cart or other checkout process and interface. However, the device may not finish electronic transaction processing for the items and may abandon the digital cart on a first platform used by the user. When a user uses a second online platform to shop and generate another digital cart, a cross-platform process may retrieve the previously abandoned cart's data, and may generate output for display of the previous cart with the new cart in the second platform's user interface.

  • Patent number: 11854037
    Abstract: A reward card platform includes a database storing funding accounts, reward card purchase transactions, and aberrant activity rules. A first user interface enables purchasing reward cards, including controls to specify reward card parameters. A second user interface enables specifying rules to detect aberrant activity. The second user interface includes user interface controls to specify the rule parameters, including: specifying a moving window of time; specifying an aggregation type; specifying filtering; specifying aggregation grouping; and specifying a threshold value for triggering an alert. The platform includes a rules execution engine that runs periodically to evaluate each of the rules. For each rule, the engine identifies transactions whose timestamps fall within the moving window of time relative to a current time and satisfies the filters, then computes an aggregation of the transactions according to the aggregation type and aggregation grouping.

  • Patent number: 11837352
    Abstract: For training a machine learning system for representing a patient body a plurality of stored medical imaging data sets each representing at least a part of a respective patient are obtained. A first one of the plurality of stored medical imaging data sets represents a different part of the patient body than a second one of the plurality of stored medical imaging data sets. A plurality of landmarks in the stored medical imaging data sets are estimated, and each of the stored medical imaging data sets are aligned to a predefined pose using the plurality of landmarks. A plurality of points in the aligned medical imaging data sets are sampled, and the machine learning system is trained based on at least the plurality of points. The learned parameters of the machine learning system are then stored and used in a method for inferring a body representation.

  • Patent number: 11830015
    Abstract: A processing module may be centralized and coupled to multiple inputs from customers, and behave deterministically, e.g., programmed to depend on state, inputs and outputs. The rapid speed of automated trading systems implementing such a centralized, deterministic module, where all users can access a central limit order object, can quickly result in an object state that does not reflect a true consensus or desirable state. Accordingly the resulting problem is a problem arising in computer systems due in part to the high speeds of computer systems. The solutions disclosed herein are, in one embodiment, implemented as automatic responses and actions by a computing system.

  • Patent number: 11818026
    Abstract: A software and/or hardware facility for scoring the quality of traffic to a site accessible via the Internet or other network. The facility extracts data from one or more data logs that are obtained from a publisher, advertiser, or third party. A multi-factor analysis in the form of a rule set is applied by the facility to the data. The analysis of the data identifies agent actions that are desirable to a publisher, advertiser, or third party. The facility generates a relative score for each agent action. The score may be used to assess the quality of traffic received by a network site. Lower scores are indicative of traffic having little value, whereas higher scores are indicative of traffic having greater value. The score may be provided to an advertising network and used to charge a variable amount for advertisements based on the quality of traffic that the advertisements receive.
