  • Patent number: 11481661
    Abstract: A segmentation platform enables a system that comprises a behavior service and a predictive service for determining a segment from a dataset. The behavior service can analyze data to determine information about behavior that has already occurred. The predictive service can analyze data to determine information about the predicted propensity for certain behavior to occur in the future. In some cases, the predictive service can determine the information by utilizing a training model that indicates predictions related to potential relationships among properties of a dataset. The segmentation platform also enables an interactive user interface that can be utilized to configure attributes of the segment, analyze information associated with the segment, and deliver the information to another device.

  • Publication number: 20210117935
    Abstract: A system and method configured to provide a mechanism allowing a third party, not involved in a payment transaction made between a merchant and a payment account, to provide a credit to the payment account as an offer benefit redeemed in view of the payment transaction. The mechanism includes a transaction handler of a payment processing network configured to provide transaction information relevant to the offer to the third party. If the third party determines that a qualifying transaction in the payment account is entitled to the benefit, the third party communicates a request, via an application programming interface (API), to a portal of the transaction handler for a credit to the payment account for the payment transaction; if the request is approved, in response, the transaction handler generates a credit transaction for the payment account.
