  • Patent number: 11599890
    Abstract: Provided herein is a holistic fraud cocoon that protects a user from incoming or outgoing fraud and phishing communications by capturing, analyzing and either altering, discarding or presenting communications to the user. For example, the holistic fraud cocoon captures all incoming sources (mail, in-person visits, phone, TV, radio, newspapers and internet) and the actions performed by the user, triggered by those sources. Certain actions are held in a queue to be reviewed, validated and acted upon by a third party before the actions are executed.

  • Patent number: 11556991
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, machine readable mediums that provide a network-based joint investment platform that enforces agreed-upon decision rules on jointly managed investments and provides collaboration and decision-making support tools for joint managers to make decisions about taking actions related to one or more jointly-managed assets. The platform may provide for configuring a plurality of decision rules that identify which managers can take which actions and under what conditions. The joint investment platform may enforce the decision rules by requesting any specified approvals according to the decision rules. Once those rules are satisfied, the joint investment platforms may execute the requested actions. If the required approvals are not obtained, or the rules provide no path to approval, the action may not be executed.
