  • Publication number: 20240134494
    Abstract: A system facilitates real-time user interactions in a virtual environment of a user application accessible by multiple computing devices. System instructions include receiving a set of defined topics including a defined topic from a first computing device of the computing devices. The instructions include receiving, from at least one of the computing devices, data representing machine-readable text converted from a verbal conversation between two or more users in the virtual environment. The instructions include identifying a set of topics from the data representing machine-readable text. The instructions include comparing the identified set of topics from the data representing machine-readable text to the set of defined topics. The instructions include, in response to detecting a match between a topic of the identified set of topics and the defined topic of the set of defined topics, transmitting, to the first computing device, a notification of the matching defined topic.

  • Patent number: 10366455
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing portfolio-relevant content is implemented by a content management computer system coupled to a memory. The method includes receiving a set of assets associated with an investor account, transmitting an investment content request for an investment content associated with at least one asset of the set of assets, receiving the investment content including a plurality of investment content items, determining a plurality of content indicators associated with each investment content item, determining a set of relevant investment content including a plurality of display parameters based at least partially on at least a portion of the investment content and at least a portion of the set of assets, and providing the set of relevant investment content for display on a user device based on at least a portion of the display parameters.
