  • Patent number: 11373173
    Abstract: A distributed ledger system has a configuration in which each of the distributed ledger subsystems includes a sub-ledger that holds ledger data shared in the distributed ledger subsystems, and a smart contract that interlocks between the distributed ledger subsystems having a common sub-ledger to perform a transaction processing related to an input and output of the ledger data, transmits a transaction request targeted for ledger data of another sub-ledger managed by another distributed ledger subsystem to another distributed ledger subsystem having the common sub-ledger by receiving a predetermined transaction request from a predetermined device and executing the smart contract, and replies with a transaction reply obtained from the other distributed ledger subsystem to the predetermined device.

  • Patent number: 11334877
    Abstract: A processor receives global positioning system data from a mobile device of a user of an account. The processor further receives information from a vendor, indicating that a transaction using the account was attempted. The processor determines, based on historical transaction and location information, and current transaction information, a probability that the transaction is fraudulent. In response, the processor rejects the transaction, and deactivates a card and mobile wallet of the user. The processor also sends a notification to the mobile device requesting a voice confirmation. The processor receives the voice confirmation, splits it into a set of voice characteristic data and determines, based on voice characteristic data stored in memory, that the voice confirmation was generated by the user. In response, the processor reactivates the card and the mobile wallet and stores a set of information describing the transaction in memory.
