  • Patent number: 11893097
    Abstract: Various embodiments for a system to utilize user's location pattern as an authentication parameter are disclosed. An embodiment operates by retrieving a location history of a user based on past locations of a user equipment (UE) device at various times and traffic data associated with the location history. A request to access a protected application is received and a present location of the UE device at a time associated with the request is determined. A locational pattern is generated based on both the location history of the user and the traffic data. The present location of the UE device is compared with the locational pattern, and it is determined that a level of authentication necessary to grant access to the protected application is satisfied based on both the comparing and a determination that the present location falls within the locational range generated based on the traffic data.

  • Patent number: 11886568
    Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe using machine learning to lock and unlock a device. Machine learning may be trained to recognize one or more features. Once the device has been trained to recognize one or more features, a user may define an unlock condition for the device using the one or more trained features. After defining the unlock condition, the device may be locked by verifying the one or more features that the user defined as the unlock condition using machine learning. When verification is successful, the device may be unlocked and the user allowed to access the device.

  • Patent number: 11887162
    Abstract: A system comprises a network and a message management system. The message management system can apply a predictive model to generate a broadcast event message for transmission over the network to solicit message requests for entry into a bidding process. The bidding process can be associated with an event in the region and a bidding timeframe. The message management system can receive message requests for the event during the bidding timeframe, and select one of the message requests from a selected requestor after the expiration of the bidding timeframe. The message management system can receive an event message from the selected requestor. The message management system can present the event message via the communication service. The event message can be provided at an access point for the Wi-Fi service.

  • Patent number: 11886516
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may relate to methods, systems, and apparatuses for generating synthetic data based on time series predictions and plural machine learning models. Generating the synthetic data may include receiving one or more data records that include transaction data of a user, categorizing and/or segmenting the one or more data records, determining a first predicted time step based on the categorizing and/or segmenting, and performing an iterative process that determines further predicted time steps. The first predicted time step may be determined using one model of a plurality of machine learning models. The iterative process may determine the further predicted time steps using the plural machine learning models. Based on iterations of the iterative process, potential time series may be determined. The synthetic time series may be determined from the potential time series. The synthetic time series may be used by additional processes, such as additional machine-learning processes.

  • Publication number: 20240005153
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for synthetic data generation. A recurrent neural network can be trained for synthetic data generation by obtaining a sequence of elements and determining, using a classifier, that the sequence corresponds to a token. In response to the determination, a recurrent neural network configured to use a first vocabulary including the elements can be modified to use a second vocabulary, the second vocabulary including the token and the first vocabulary. The modified recurrent neural network can be trained using the token and the sequence of elements. The trained recurrent neural network can be used to generate synthetic data. A classifier can detect sequences of elements in the synthetic data corresponding to tokens. The tokens can replace the sequences of elements in the generated synthetic data and can be provided to the trained recurrent neural network to continue synthetic data generation.

  • Patent number: 11861162
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, presentation of candidate inputs may be facilitated based on a user interface location of a related candidate input. In some embodiments, a text input may be obtained via a user interface (e.g., via a virtual keyboard). A first candidate input related to the text input may be presented at a first location of the user interface. A first user selection with respect to the first candidate input may be obtained, and a candidate input set related to the first candidate input may be presented on the user interface based on the first user selection. As an example, the candidate input set may be presented such that a second candidate input is presented closer to the first location than a third candidate input based on the second candidate input being associated with a higher likelihood of being selected by a user than the third candidate input.

  • Patent number: 11861626
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide fraud mitigation via dynamic transaction card wireless communication. A mobile device may cause a dynamic transaction card to periodically scan its environment to detect wireless enabled devices proximately located near the dynamic transaction card. Based on identifying the wireless enabled devices frequently located near the dynamic transaction card, a set of approved devices may be determined. During a transaction, a dynamic transaction card may scan its environment for other wireless enabled devices proximately located near the dynamic transaction card. If wireless enabled devices detected by the dynamic transaction card are all, or a subset, of the devices that are frequently located near the card, then the transaction may be authorized. However, if the wireless enabled devices detected by the dynamic transaction card are not all, or a subset, of the devices that are frequently located near the card, then the transaction may be unauthorized.
