Abstract: Systems and methods that communicate a user's explicit text, iMessage, or Tapback interaction made on one communication protocol or system (for instance, SMS) and reflects that interaction related to the same product hosted and presented on another system (for instance, a website). The systems and methods connect behavior occurring on two systems so that behavior is carried over from one to the other for the benefit of the end-user. Additionally, from the user interaction originating from SMS, further product recommendations may be generated based on any or all of: the specific user's interaction (for instance, a like or a love or other interaction); the product which received that interaction; additional products listed on a seller's Website; and information about the additional products.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of continuously updating information about a customer approved for a mortgage, the customer associated with a customer identification number. In one aspect, the method may include monitoring information accessed from a blockchain corresponding to the customer identification number, the information used to determine the customer is approved for a mortgage. In addition, the method may further include receiving new information about the customer, the new information used to determine the customer is approved for a mortgage. Further, the method may include updating a block of the blockchain to include the new information and recalculating the amount in which the customer is approved for a mortgage based upon the new information received.

Abstract: A video collection system collects and sends metadata related to video data such that recording may be triggered and tagged. The video collection system utilizes a mobile broadband network (such as a cellular network) to send metadata, receive triggers, and perform other functions while the video collection system is in the field. The video collection system broadly comprises a plurality of video cameras and a video collection manager. The video cameras each include a mobile broadband modem or other wireless communication element for sending metadata messages. In some embodiments the mobile broadband modem may also send still images, audio data, and video data.

Abstract: A method of using browsing activity to identify fraudulent online or virtual applications includes receiving a virtual application over one or more radio frequency links, determining an applicant name on the virtual application, determining an IP address of a source computer from which the virtual application originated, determining an online browsing or search history associated with the IP address, determining whether the online browsing or search history indicates recent Internet searches for the applicant name, and, in response to determining that the online browsing or search history does indicate recent Internet searches for the applicant name, flagging the virtual application as fraudulent and generating an electronic alert indicating that the virtual application is fraudulent to facilitate identifying fraudulent virtual applications for goods or services.

Abstract: A pressure applying system using a modular vise having a fixed base and an adjustable pusher assembly. The modular vise utilizes a bi-directional worm screw to apply a linear force from the pusher assembly to the working member relative to the fixed base. The fixed base is secured and located from below a bottom surface of the fixed base.

Abstract: A method of detecting whether electronic fraud alerts are false positives includes receiving data detailing a financial transaction, inputting the data into a rules-based engine that determines whether to generate an electronic fraud alert for the financial transaction based upon the data, and, when an electronic fraud alert is generated, inputting the data into a machine learning program trained to identify one or more facts indicated by the data. The method may also include determining whether the identified facts can be verified by customer data and, in response to determining that the facts can be verified, retrieving or receiving first customer data. The method may further include verifying that the electronic fraud alert is not a false positive based upon analysis of the first customer data, and transmitting the verified electronic fraud alert to a mobile device of the customer to alert the customer to fraudulent activity.

Abstract: A heuristic money laundering detection engine includes capabilities to collect an unstructured data set, such as a transaction record, and detect indications of money laundering activity. By detecting money laundering activity and feeding back indications of money laundering transactions, the heuristic algorithm may continue to learn and improve detection accuracy. Such indications may include correlations to sets of transaction activity among a number of financial accounts and past indications of money laundering activity. Indications of money laundering may allow generation of audit reports for reporting to regulatory authorities.

Abstract: A method of reducing a future amount of electronic fraud alerts includes receiving data detailing a financial transaction, inputting the data into a rules-based engine that generates an electronic fraud alert, transmitting the alert to a mobile device of a customer, and receiving from the mobile device customer feedback indicating that the alert was a false positive or otherwise erroneous. The method also includes inputting the data detailing the financial transaction into a machine learning program trained to (i) determine a reason why the false positive was generated, and (ii) then modify the rules-based engine to account for the reason why the false positive was generated, and to no longer generate electronic fraud alerts based upon (a) fact patterns similar to fact patterns of the financial transaction, or (b) data similar to the data detailing the financial transaction, to facilitate reducing an amount of future false positive fraud alerts.

Abstract: In a method of preventing fraudulent online financial transactions, a request to authorize an online, financial transaction may be received, where the transaction is associated with a debit or credit card account. A computing device at which information associated with the debit or credit card account was entered for the transaction may be identified, and a first geographic location at which the computing device resides may be determined. Based upon geolocation data indicating one or more geographic locations of the authorized cardholder, it may be determined that the authorized cardholder was at a second geographic location at a time of the transaction. If the second geographic location does not correspond to the first geographic location, the financial transaction may be prevented from being executed.
