Patent number: 10430760Abstract: A system for enhancing communications based on physical trade documents includes a document intake machine comprising a document scanner and a data extractor. The document intake machine receives a physical trade document from an entity. The document scanner may scan the physical trade document to create an electronic file of the physical trade document. The data extractor determines entity identification information from the electronic file and entity performance information from the electronic file. A trade executing machine receives the entity identification information and entity performance information from the document intake machine and assigns an electronic customer number to the electronic file, wherein the electronic customer number is associated with the entity identification information.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Ann McCormick, Gary Ford, Mark Zanzot, Peter Tholl, Robin Tooker, Steven Dommes, Timothy Lukavsky, Walter McKay

Patent number: 10410168Abstract: A system for preventing restricted transactions using physical trade documents includes a document intake machine comprising a document scanner and a data extractor. The document intake machine receives a physical trade document associated with a transaction of goods from an entity. The document scanner scans the physical trade document to create an electronic file. The data extractor identifies trade terms from the electronic file. A trade-executing machine receives the trade terms and compares them to a database of restricted trade terms. For each of the trade terms that match a restricted trade term, the trade executing machines identifies a confidence level associated with the trade term indicating a likelihood that the transaction of goods is a restricted transaction. If the confidence level is greater than a predetermined threshold, the trade executing machine flags the transaction of goods as a potential restricted transaction and communicates a notification message to the entity.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Ann McCormick, Gary Ford, Mark Zanzot, Peter Tholl, Robin Tooker, Steven Dommes, Timothy Lukavsky, Walter McKay

Patent number: 10319025Abstract: A system for executing terms of physical trade documents includes a document intake machine comprising a document scanner and a data extractor. The document intake machine receives a physical trade document from an entity. The document scanner may scan the physical trade document to create an electronic file of the physical trade document. The data extractor may identify trade terms from the electronic file. A trade executing machine receives the trade terms from the document intake machine and compare the trade terms to a trade condition, wherein the trade condition is identified from a document related to the physical trade document. If the trade terms match the trade condition, the trade executing machine may process the physical trade document according to the trade terms and communicate a notification message to the entity indicating that the physical trade document was processed according to the trade terms.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Ann McCormick, Gary Ford, Mark Zanzot, Peter Tholl, Robin Tooker, Steven Dommes, Timothy Lukavsky, Walter McKay

Patent number: 10127209Abstract: A system for transforming unstructured documents includes a document intake machine comprising a document scanner. The document intake machine receives a physical trade document from an entity wherein the physical trade document has a format. The document scanner scans the physical trade document to create an electronic file of the physical trade document. A trade-executing machine receives the electronic file and compares the format of the electronic file to a database of known document templates.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Ann McCormick, Gary Ford, Mark Zanzot, Peter Tholl, Robin Tooker, Steven Dommes, Timothy Lukavsky, Walter McKay

Publication number: 20170147978Abstract: A system for executing shipments based on physical trade documents includes a document intake machine comprising a document scanner and a data extractor. The document intake machine receives a physical trade document associated with a shipment of goods from an entity. The document scanner scans the physical trade document to create an electronic file. The data extractor identifies shipment information from the electronic file. A trade executing machine receives the shipment information from the document intake machine and compares the shipment information to a shipment condition. If the shipment information matches the shipment condition, the trade executing machine issues shipment instructions according to the shipment information and communicates a notification message to the entity indicating that the physical trade document was processed according to the shipment information.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2015Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventors: ANN MCCORMICK, Gary Ford, Mark Zanzot, Peter Tholl, Robin Tooker, Steven Dommes, Timothy Lukavsky, Walter McKay
