  • Patent number: 11811713
    Abstract: A message generating system disseminates to each of multiple user devices first information items each associated with at least a respective one of multiple services made available by a first entity. When access indicative signals are received via a network connection, each prompted by a respective one of the user devices accessing at least one of the first information items, the system stores a respective awareness-stage record for each received access indicative signal, thereby recording that the respective user entity accessed at least one of the first information items. For each user entity for which a respective awareness-stage record is stored, a second item is generated and sent including information of a particular service associated with at least one first information item. User entities for which a second item was not generated are excluded as having not accessed a first item. The exclusion reduces data traffic on the network connection.

  • Publication number: 20230351434
    Abstract: A system for guiding interactions with a user device requests a response from first users, stores the response as response data forming a subset of a personal data set of each of the responding first users, and generates a predictive model during training of a machine learning program with a training data set including the personal data set of each of the first users. The predictive model predicts a predicted response of a second user associated with the user device by correlating a personal data set of the second user to the personal data set of at least one of the first users. The computer sends a communication to the user device of the second user having content relating to the first product and/or service when it is determined that the predicted response indicates an interest in or preference of the second user for the first product and/or service.

  • Publication number: 20230351433
    Abstract: A system for guiding interactions with a user device requests a response from a plurality of users, stores the response as response data forming a subset of a personal data set of each of the responding users, and generates a predictive model during training of a machine learning program utilizing at least one neural network with a training data set including the personal data set of each of the plurality of users. The predictive model predicts a probability of a first one of the users associated with the user device interacting with a first product and/or service by correlating a personal data set of the first one of the users to the personal data set of at least a second one of the users and sends a communication relating to the first product and/or service to the user device when the predicted probability meets or exceeds a threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20230351009
    Abstract: A system and method for training an artificial intelligence engine for real-time monitoring to eliminate false positives is disclosed. The system includes at least one processor, a communication interface coupled to the processor, and a memory device storing executable code. Executing the executable code causes the processor to receive data from an AI security model, receive data from a false positive database, and correlate both sets of data. The correlated data is used to generate a training dataset and a test dataset used to train a false positive identification model. After evaluating the false positive identification model, an AI engine is applied to user registration. The AI engine includes an AI security model and the false positive identification model. Additionally, a system for evaluating the security of user registration utilizing the false positive identification model is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11788485
    Abstract: A method that includes coupling an external, removable fuel pressurization system to a fuel system of a vehicle. The fuel system of the vehicle is pressurized with the fuel pressurization system while the vehicle is parked and without activating a fuel consumer (e.g., an engine) of the vehicle. Decay of pressure of the fuel system is monitored following pressurization of the fuel system, and one or more of a leak, or a replaceable component, of the fuel system of the vehicle is detected based on at least in part on the decay of pressure that are monitored.

  • Patent number: 11610675
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for dynamically reallocating resources to users of a coaching service. The method can include initially allocating resources to users of the coaching service, receiving indications of activities of the users relative to their allocated resources, and comparing the activities relative to a reference value to produce an outcome including a likelihood that a target user will benefit from a target resource. Upon identifying the target user, a dynamic reallocation process deallocates the target resource from another user and reallocates the target resource to the target user.
