  • Patent number: 11853997
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement a recurring payment collection system for extending current quick response (QR) code payment methods to collect recurring payments from a customer. The recurring payment collection system sends a notification to the customer that a recurring payment is due in response to a recurring payment event occurring. The recurring payment collection system obtains a QR code for the recurring payment in response to the customer acknowledging the notification. The recurring payment collection system utilizes the QR code to request the recurring payment from a payment system. The recurring payment collection system acknowledges that the recurring payment has been made in responsive to the recurring payment being processed by the payment system.

  • Patent number: 11816736
    Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) may facilitate insurance-related tasks. UAVs may actively be dispatched to an area surrounding a property, and collect data related to property. A location for an inspection of a property to be conducted by a UAV may be received, and one or more images depicting a view of the location may be displayed via a user interface. Additionally, a geofence boundary may be determined based on an area corresponding to a property boundary, where the geofence boundary represents a geospatial boundary in which to limit flight of the UAV. Furthermore, a navigation route may be determined which corresponds to the geofence boundary for inspection of the property by the UAV, the navigation route having waypoints, each waypoint indicating a location for the UAV to obtain drone data. The UAV may be directed around the property using the determined navigation route.

  • Patent number: 11803873
    Abstract: Embodiments of system are disclosed in which selection strategies for a direct marketing campaign that identify consumers from a credit bureau or other consumer database can be planned, tested, and/or refined on a stable subset of the credit database. In some embodiments, once refined, consumer selection criteria may be used to execute the direct marketing campaign on the full consumer/credit database, which is preferably updated approximately twice weekly. In one preferred embodiment, the data for the test database represents a random sampling of approximately 10% of the full database and the sampling is regenerated approximately weekly in order to provide a stable set of data on which campaign developers may test their campaign. For each consumer in the sampling, the environment may allow a client to access and use both attributes calculated by the credit bureau and proprietary attributes and data owned by the client.

  • Patent number: 11790373
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for processing recurring payment transactions. In various embodiments, the system receives details of the set of recurring payment transactions and stores the details in a recurring transaction details table. The system generates a virtual payment instrument and associates it with the consumer's payment instrument. The system transmits the virtual payment instrument to the consumer. The system then generates a set of payment tokens for the set of recurring transactions and links the tokens to the virtual payment instrument. Each token is associated with a discrete recurring period. The system encodes each token with a sequence of values and stores the tokens in the recurring payment token table. The system receives a recurring transaction request that includes the virtual payment instrument. The system validates the request against a token associated with the recurring period, processes the transaction, and deletes the token.

  • Patent number: 11763385
    Abstract: In various embodiments, an apparatus includes a processor and a memory. The memory is communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory stores software instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive a trading order for a particular quantity of a trading product. The trading order specifies that a first portion of the particular quantity is a displayed quantity and that a second portion of the particular quantity is a reserved quantity. The trading order specifies at least one of a decay rule, a decay interval, a decay rate, decay quantity, and one or more conditions. The software instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to cause the reserved quantity to decay based at least in part on at least one of the decay rule, the decay interval, the decay rate, and the decay quantity, and one or more conditions.

  • Patent number: 11734558
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to improving machine learning classification using both labeled and unlabeled data, including electronic transactions. A computing system may train a machine learning module using a first set of transactions (of any classifiable data) with label information that indicates designated classifications for those transactions and a second set of transactions without label information. This can allow for improved classification error rates, particularly when additional labeled data may not be present (e.g., if a transaction was disallowed, it may not be later labeled as fraudulent or not). The training process may include generating first error data based on classification results for the first set of transactions, generating second error data based on reconstruction results for both the first and second sets of transactions, and updating the machine learning module based on the first and second error data.
