  • Patent number: 11956144
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for network traffic routing and load balancing in an electronic network. The present disclosure is configured to identify, by an application layer, at least one website access request by a user account, wherein a website access request comprises a website identifier; transmit the website access request to a traffic routing layer; identify, by the traffic routing layer, a plurality of potential websites; determine, by the traffic routing layer, whether a routing identifier is present for the user account and in response to determining the routing identifier, pin the user account to a pinned website of the potential websites based on the routing identifier; and determine, by the traffic routing layer, whether the pinned website comprises an up attribute or down attribute, and to direct the website access request based on at least this up or down attribute.

  • Patent number: 11945448
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to using vehicle telematics data to assess parameters associated with vehicle operation. In some instances, a driving assessment system may include a first computing device associated with a user in a vehicle and a second computing located remotely from the first computing device. The first computing device may collect, by way of one or more of an accelerometer and global positioning system (GPS), vehicle operational data and vehicle locational information associated with the vehicle and corresponding to a trip of the vehicle and may transmit such information to the second computing device. The second computing device may identify actionable and second order actionable trip data from the vehicle operational data and vehicle locational information and may calculate a behavior score for the trip.

  • Patent number: 11843585
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing standards compliant encryption, storage, and retrieval of data are disclosed. In an embodiment, data is received at a first data center from a first device in connection with a service request and encrypted to produce encrypted data. The encrypted data may be transmitted from the first data center to the first device, and then may subsequently be received at a second data center. The second data center may store the encrypted data in a database accessible to the second data center. Because all data provided to the system is encrypted by the first data center prior to being stored and/or provided to the second data center, the database and the second data center may be out of the scope of compliance monitoring, auditing, and reporting for one or more data security standards.
