Patent number: 12659406Abstract: A system and method for allowing a single live customer service agent to simultaneously serve multiple customers. According to various embodiments, a virtual agent operates at the front end to receive and attempt to handle customer issues. The virtual agent employs speech recognition and intent mapping in order to generate a proposed response that attempts to identify and resolve customer issues. In some scenarios, the proposed response includes both a response message and a response action to be taken. A chat history and the proposed response is then provided to the live agent.

Publication number: 20250373724Abstract: In some implementations, a system may capture audio from a call between a calling device and a called device. The system may filter the captured audio to generate a background audio layer. The system may generate an audio footprint that is a representation of sound in the background audio layer. The system may determine that the audio footprint includes a triggering sound footprint based on one or more audio characteristics of the audio footprint. The system may detect synthetic sound based on the audio footprint and after determining that the audio footprint includes the triggering sound footprint, wherein the synthetic sound is indicative of a sound recording. The system may transmit a notification to one or more devices associated with the call based on detecting the synthetic sound.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2025Publication date: December 4, 2025Inventors: Meredith L CRITZER, Vahid KHANAGHA, Joshua EDWARDS, Mia RODRIGUEZ, Tyler MAIMAN, Aysu EZEN CAN, Alexander LIN, Michael MOSSOBA, Guadalupe BONILLA, Feng QIU

Patent number: 12456453Abstract: A system may include processor(s), and memory in communication with the processor(s) and storing instructions configured to cause the system to correct ASR errors. The system may receive a transcription comprising transcribed word(s) and may determine whether the transcribed word(s) exceed associated predefined confidence level(s). Responsive to determining a transcribed word does not exceed a predefined confidence level, the system may generate a predicted word. The system may calculate a distance between numerical representations of the transcribed word and the predicted word and may determine whether the distance exceeds a predefined threshold. Responsive to determining the distance exceeds the predefined threshold, the system may determine whether at least one red flag word of a list of red flag words corresponds to a context of the transcription, and, responsive to making that determination, may classify the transcription as associated with a first category.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2024Date of Patent: October 28, 2025Assignee: CAPITAL ONE SERVICES, LLCInventors: Aysu Ezen Can, Feng Qiu, Guadalupe Bonilla, Meredith Leigh Critzer, Michael Mossoba, Alexander Lin, Tyler Maiman, Mia Rodriguez, Vahid Khanagha, Joshua Edwards

Patent number: 12361209Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable database search. The systems and/or methods may include receiving a search query that includes an input document having text. Word embeddings are generated within the input document, where the word embeddings include vector representations of words in the text of the input document. An average input document word embedding vector is determined for the word embeddings of the input document. A set of stored documents is accessed, where each stored document includes a stored text has a particular average stored document word embedding vector. A similarity model is used to determine a similarity metric measuring the similarity between the input document and each stored document based on the average input document word embedding vector and the particular average stored document word embedding vector of each stored document.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2024Date of Patent: July 15, 2025Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Cruz Vargas, Phoebe Atkins, Alexander Lin, Joshua Edwards, Lin Ni Lisa Cheng, Rajko Ilincic, Max Miracolo, Brian McClanahan

Patent number: 12314269Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe customizing searching. Search queries may be customized according to a user's preferences. A user may emphasize or indicate that additional weight should be given to one or more terms in a search query. Terms that are weighted higher may have a larger impact on the results that are returned in response to the search query. In addition to changing the terms in a search query, a user may provide a weight for each term. Each term in a search query may be weighted to varying degrees, giving a user more control over the results that are returned. The weights may be used with machine learning techniques to generate a vector representation of a search query. The vector representation of the search query may be compared with vector representations of search objects to determine results that match the search query.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2023Date of Patent: May 27, 2025Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Alexander Lin, Cruz Vargas, Joshua Edwards, Max Miracolo, Mia Rodriguez, Phoebe Atkins

Patent number: 12266197Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented methods disclosed herein relate to detecting errors in manually entered data. In one embodiment, the system can identify a named entity automatically from a conversation between a customer and service agent with a named entity recognition model that employs natural language processing and machine learning to detect a word or string of words in the conversation that corresponds to a named entity category. In another embodiment, the system can determine whether data entered into a field on a service platform by the service agent includes an error by comparing the data entered with the named entity. In another embodiment, the system can transmit an alert to the service agent through the service platform when there is a mismatch between the named entity and the data entered.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2022Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Tyler Maiman, Joshua Edwards, Feng Qiu, Michael Mossoba, Alexander Lin, Meredith L Critzer, Guadalupe Bonilla, Vahid Khanagha, Mia Rodriguez, Aysu Ezen Can

Patent number: 12190344Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a method for automatically providing customized financial card incentives where the system can identify if a transaction is eligible for additional bonus rewards by determining if the user is a student using a clustering algorithm with user similarity data to generate a probability. Then, if the probability is above a predetermined threshold, a machine learning model with comprehensive user data classifies the user as a student or non-student. Once the user is determined to be a student, the transaction is verified as being an educational purchase using the transaction data or by having the user provide an image of a receipt. Once the transaction is verified, the transaction or items within the transaction qualify for additional rewards that are applied to the user's account. Users who are not identified as students may qualify for a standard amount of rewards.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2023Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: CAPITAL ONE SERVICES, LLCInventors: Jenny Melendez, Joshua Peters, Zachary Sweeney, Samuel Rapowitz, Steven Black, Bryant Yee, Alexander Lin
