Patent number: 11631018Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to performing enhanced exception processing using cognitive automation tools. In some embodiments, a computing platform may receive interaction data identifying one or more actions performed by one or more users in resolving a plurality of exception items associated with an exception queue. Subsequently, the computing platform may train, using a learning engine, a machine learning model to resolve a first exception and a second exception of one or more exceptions based on the interaction data. Based on training the machine learning model, the computing platform may generate one or more configuration commands directing a processing module to implement the machine learning model to process additional exception items associated with the exception queue. The computing platform then may send the one or more configuration commands to the processing module.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2020Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Christine Malabad, Jeffrey R. Goertz, Letishia R. Hunt, Clement Chellaraj, Eric Dryer, Clarence E. Lee, Charles Christopher Harbinson, Verlon S. Watson

Patent number: 11600151Abstract: An ATM pre-registration tool allows a user to request an amount of cash from an ATM before traveling to that ATM. The pre-registration tool receivers a user's request and determines whether a specified ATM contains the requested cash. If the ATM does not contain the requested cash, the pre-registration tool informs the user that the ATM does not contain sufficient funds to fulfill the user's request. If the ATM contains the requested cash, the pre-registration tool instructs the ATM to reserve that cash for the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventor: Eric Dryer

Patent number: 11468747Abstract: An ATM exception handler automatically handles certain forms of exceptions. The exception handler receives messages indicating amounts of cash counted and amounts of cash shown at different ATMs. If exceptions are indicated by these messages, the exception handler attempts to reconcile exceptions with each other depending on several factors, such as, the servicer of the ATMs and day of servicing.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2021Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Eric Dryer, Verlon Safold Watson, III, Jordan Josiah Conklin

Patent number: 11403601Abstract: A system for performing secure maintenance on automated machines may include a maintenance management apparatus and an automated machine. The maintenance management apparatus is configured for scheduling the maintenance appointment for the automated machine, in response to scheduling the maintenance appointment and creating and communicating a maintenance security code to the automated machine. The automated machine is configured for receiving a request from a maintenance provider to initiate the maintenance appointment, validating the maintenance provider using the maintenance security code and providing access to a secure item storage unit, determining that the maintenance provider has completed the maintenance appointment, and communicating information associated with the maintenance appointment to the maintenance management apparatus and/or a computing device of the maintenance provider.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2019Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Eric Dryer, Jeffrey R. Goertz, Douglas Scott Wilson, Carl Parziale, Michael Matthew Wisser, Edwin Andrew Wegleitner, Colleen Marie Powers, Gary L. Best, Jr., Jennifer Ann Raley
