  • Patent number: 10362086
    Abstract: A method for automating the submission of issue reports includes automatically capturing information and images related to a software user, receiving a request from the user involving an issue experienced by the user, evaluating the request and the user information and images, generating a unique identifier that matches a response received by the user when making the request to associated server log information, generating an issue report based on the user information and images, server log information, and the generated unique identifier, and generating a ticket associated with the issue report that may be communicated to an external system. The user request information and images, server log information, and unique identifier may be stored in a database or data repository. The user information and images and server log information may be automatically encrypted. A system for automating the submission of issue reports is also described.

  • Patent number: 9129279
    Abstract: A financial institution can provide financial services to a plurality of remote devices, such as personal computers, personal data assistants, screen phones, automatic teller machines, external service providers, and internally to staff terminals and individual branches. By separating the components of the system into independent components, the system and method can be developed and tested on a component level rather than the entire system level, thereby reducing the development and maintenance cycle time. The system and method operate in sessions and can employ a dialog component for gathering information from a customer, a rule broker component for providing answers to the various legal and regulatory rules in a particular country, a language man component for selecting appropriate language, a transaction executor component for performing transactions, and a presentation manager component for formatting outputs to the customer.
