  • Publication number: 20240045941
    Abstract: In some implementations, a server may receive, from a user device, one or more credentials associated with a user. Accordingly, the server may transmit, to the user device, instructions for generating a user interface including a plurality of visual components based on authenticating the user with the one or more credentials. The server may detect, during a first interval, a lack of interaction with the user interface. Accordingly, the server may remove one of the plurality of visual components from the user interface based on the lack of interaction. Additionally, the server may detect, during a second interval, one or more interactions with the user interface and may update a similarity score associated with the user based on properties associated with the one or more interactions. Accordingly, the server may restore the visual component to the user interface based on the updated similarity score satisfying a similarity threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230137867
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for generating non-fungible tokens (NFTs) representing digital assets. In various embodiments, a server generates a first NFT comprising one or more hash values. Each hash value of the one or more hash values corresponds with at least one cryptographically verifiable asset of one or more cryptographically verifiable assets. The server further receives a first request to obtain a first portion of the first NFT for a user and determines a first value of the first NFT based on a crypto-value of each of the one or more cryptographically verifiable assets. The server generates a second NFT comprising a first NFT hash value, wherein a second value of the second NFT matches the first portion of the first value and issues the second NFT to the user.

  • Publication number: 20230074212
    Abstract: A system may include processor(s), and memory in communication with the processor(s) and storing instructions configured to cause the system to orient webpage content based on user attention. The system may determine a user has navigated to a webpage. The system may generate an attention level based on received user feature(s) associated with activity of the user on the webpage. Responsive to determining the attention level exceeds a predetermined threshold, the system may identify a duration associated with the attention level, transmit an offer to one or more entities to submit predetermined content based on the duration, receive predetermined content from the one or more entities, identify, based on a predetermined amount of predetermined content space, selected content of the received predetermined content for placement on the webpage, and cause a GUI of the user device to display the selected content.

  • Publication number: 20230065074
    Abstract: A system may receive user interface information that indicates an image, associated with a web page, that depicts an object for which a counterfeit estimation is to be determined, text associated with the web page, or an entity identifier that identifies an entity associated with the web page and the object. The system may determine a first estimation that the object is counterfeit based on performing an image analysis of the image, a second estimation that the object is counterfeit based on performing text analysis of the text, or a third estimation that the object is counterfeit based on performing an entity analysis of the entity. The system may determine the counterfeit estimation based on the first estimation, the second estimation, or the third estimation. The counterfeit estimation may indicate a likelihood that the object is counterfeit. The system may transmit information that identifies the counterfeit estimation.

  • Publication number: 20230013086
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a method and system for automated incremental payments. The system may identify recurring charges from historical account data. Based on the recurring charges and an incremental period, the system may calculate an incremental amount and expected amount. At each iteration of the incremental period, the incremental amount may be assigned to a savings bucket. The value of the savings bucket may be subtracted from an actual account balance to calculate a reduced account balance. The system may generate and transmit a graphical user interface to a user device showing the reduced account balance. The system may receive current data containing a charge that corresponds to the recurring charges. The system may reduce the value of the savings bucket by the amount of the current data charge. If the current data charge is different from the expected amount, the system may adjust the incremental amount accordingly.
