Patents by Inventor Daniel Birch

Daniel Birch has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20220217122
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system that performs virtual private network authentication with a read only sandbox integration for virtual private network security. In this way, the invention matches an internet protocol address to a user portrait of user internet protocol addresses to confirm that the connecting device is the authentic user for accessing the virtual private network. If there is a discrepancy between the user portrait and the internet protocol address of the connecting device, the system launches a read only sandbox for connecting device interaction. The read only sandbox allows for bilateral communication with the connecting device where the system has full access to the connection device at a file level to interrogate file level data for confirmation.

  • Patent number: 11297179
    Abstract: Verification of the identities of parties participating in network-based communication, such as telephone communication, including SMS/text communication, email communication and the like is provided. Communication identifiers (IDs) (e.g., telephone numbers, email addresses or the like) are verified as being associated with one or more communication parties and, in response, a verified communication (ID) database is established. The verified communication ID database is relied upon when a user/communication is selecting a communication ID as an address for an impending communication or receiving a communication for determining whether the communication ID is verifiably associated with a known communication party. If the communication ID is determined to be verifiably associated with a known communication party, a visual or audible output may be provided on the user's device or within the communication that indicates that the communication ID is verifiably associated with the known communication party.

  • Patent number: 11263049
    Abstract: Resource event patterns are identified in previously conducted resource events based on historical resource event data and, in some embodiments, pending and/or previous resource event request data. Specifically, the resource event patterns indicate a timing pattern for when resource events included in the pattern are conducted. Based at least on the timing pattern, an optimal time or time period is determined for communicating a notification to the user that is configured to notify a user that a next occurrence of a time within the timing pattern is imminent and that a resource event within the resource event pattern is pending. The optimal time may be close in proximity of the next occurrence of the time within the timing pattern or, depending on other factors, such as user preference, resource volume due, resource volume availability, resource volume due in comparison to typical resource volume due, the optimal time may be farther out from the next occurrence of a time within the timing pattern.

  • Publication number: 20210334369
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for evaluating and weighting resource usage activity data. The system may establish a communicable link to a user device via a user application to receive resource activity data and historical data from one or more users or systems via multiple communication channels. The system may evaluate the historical data and determine evaluation criteria based on perceived chance of loss associated with particular metadata characteristics, and use the evaluation criteria as weighted metrics for determining an overall evaluation score for the user based on indication from resource activity data that the user has conducted resource transfers with entities or channels identified in the historical data.

  • Publication number: 20210335366
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for generation and maintenance of verified data records. The system may receive a data submission from a user device over one or more communication channels and convert the data submission into a normalized text format for processing and analysis. The data submission may then be analyzed using one or more trained machined learning models in order to identify factual statements and modifiers within the data submission, and generate a confidence score of verified factual information based on corroboration with one or more additional data sources. Additionally, identified modifiers may be analyzed to determine positive or negative sentiment.

  • Patent number: 10868782
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a system for flagging data transmissions for retention of metadata and triggering appropriate transmission placement. Embodiments receive a plurality of data transmissions represented in a transmission queue; determine that a first data transmission of the plurality of data transmissions is suspicious; and, in response to the determination, automatically flag the first data transmission for retention of metadata associated with the first data transmission. The data transmission may then be placed in an appropriate location.

  • Patent number: 10837621
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods including an optic having an optical surface partitioned into a plurality of facets. Wherein a geometry of the plurality of facets are configured to rearrange the rays in an incident light field to form a desired irradiance pattern on a projection surface, partitioned into a plurality of pixels, each of which may receive light from a multiplicity of facets. Wherein the configured geometry of the plurality of facets is corrected to minimize a difference between an observed irradiance pattern and a desired irradiance pattern provided by a user.

  • Patent number: 10805342
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for automated malfeasance detection. Dedicated communication channels are established between a computing device system of a first entity and a computing device system of a service provider, where the service provider manages, operates, or is otherwise associated with certain web pages. The presence of a malfeasance within one of these web pages of the service provider is detected, and a malfeasance report is generated in response to detecting the malfeasance. This malfeasance report includes an automatic malfeasance remediation action that, when transmitted to the computing device system of the service provider, causes the computing device system of the service provider to automatically execute one or more actions that are responsive to the malfeasance.
