  • Patent number: 12147968
    Abstract: The disclosure describes a campaign director (CD) system associated with a financial institution and an associated campaign manager (CM) unit executing on a mobile device used to facilitate behavior based allocation of payment tokens and activation of payment transactions based on the tokens. The CM unit of the mobile device may be programmed by the CD system at the financial institution to generate tokens according to a token generation model that is a function of financial behavior history associated with a credit card account. When a credit card is used to initiate a payment transaction with a merchant, the CM unit of the mobile device may generate a token for the payment transaction and send the token to the CD system at the financial institution. The CD system then determines whether to activate the payment transaction based on the token and merchant data associated with the payment transaction.

  • Patent number: 11087042
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that include generating a simulation plan based on records that may be commonly kept when administering a computer network. This disclosure further describes techniques that include performing a simulation, based on the plan, to verity, test, and/or evaluate one or more systems, application systems, or applications that operate on the network. In one example, a method includes maintaining a storage system, generating a plan for simulating an application system, generating a simulation image, outputting the simulation image, and receiving simulation results.
