  • Publication number: 20220383301
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and processes may provision, in real-time, targeted, event-specific digital content based on decomposed, structured message data and peer data. For examples, an apparatus may receive a message associated with an exchange of data involving a first counterparty and a second counterparty. The message may include elements of message data that characterize a real-time payment from the second counterparty to the first counterparty, and based on the elements of message data, the apparatus may determine a value of at least one parameter that characterizes the first counterparty and may obtain elements of peer data that are consistent with at least one parameter value. The apparatus may transmit notification data that includes digital content associated with at least one of the elements of peer data or the at least one parameter value to a device operable by the first counterparty, which may present the digital content within a digital interface.

  • Publication number: 20220383313
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented systems and processes provision, in real-time, directed product data based on structure messaging data. For instance, an apparatus may receive messages associated with first data exchanges initiated between a first counterparty and second counterparties. Each of the messages may include elements of message data disposed within corresponding message fields that characterize a real-time payment requested from the first counterparty by a corresponding one of the second counterparties. Based on the message data, the apparatus may generate intent data associated with the first data exchanges and predict an occurrence of at least one second data exchange that involves the first counterparty and that is consistent with the intent data.

  • Publication number: 20220383314
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented systems and processes that generate and provision, in real time, directed digital content based on decomposed structured messaging data. For example, an apparatus may receive a plurality of messages that characterize first data exchanges initiated between a first counterparty and second counterparties during a first temporal interval. Each of the messages includes elements of message data associated with a real-time payment requested from the first counterparty by a corresponding one of the second counterparties. Based on the elements of message data, that apparatus may predict an occurrence of a second exchange of data that involves the first counterparty during a second temporal interval, and may transmit notification data that includes product data characterizing an available product associated with the predicted occurrence of the second data exchange to a device operable by the first counterparty for presentation within a digital interface.

  • Patent number: 11500946
    Abstract: Apparatus is described for directing a user's local web browser/web view to refresh the top-level container that is currently displaying the content presented by a remote computer with the new content that a navigational link, within the remote desktop, remote desktop application window, or remote graphical windowing user session, points to. In response to navigation action on a link, the client of a remote graphical computer desktop, remote graphical application window or remote graphical windowing user session is sent a navigation command so that it wholly reloads its top level container with content provided by a destination URL or URI. Such a URL or URI may point to another remote graphical computer desktop, remote application window or remote graphical windowing user session.

  • Patent number: 11468443
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented processes that determine, in real time, counterparty geolocation location based on structured messaging data, such as messaging data maintained within message fields of a request-for-payment (RFP) message compliant with the ISO 20022. For example, an apparatus may receive a RFP message that includes message data associated with a transaction involving first and second counterparties, and the RFP message may characterize a real-time payment requested from the second counterparty by the first counterparty. The apparatus may determine a geographic position of the first counterparty based the message data, and based on the first geographic position, transmit notification data to a device operable by the second counterparty.

  • Publication number: 20220211424
    Abstract: A microneedling system may reciprocate a plurality of microneedles disposed on a handpiece into the skin of a patient. The microneedles and/or electrode plates may deliver RF energy to the patient for inducing collagen coagulation and regeneration. An interrogative modality such as ultrasound may combined into the microneedling handpiece or used as a separate instrument to interrogate the skin and identify or measure the thicknesses of constituent layers. The data obtained from the interrogative modality may be displayed and can be used to automatically adjust operating parameters of the microneedling device, including the penetration depth of the needles, the pulse duration, and/or the power level of the RF energy to optimize the treatment for the specific patient and/or condition being treated. The microneedling system may recall the skin measurements for distinct sectors of the skin which are expected to have different properties.
