Patent number: 12125062Abstract: A bot automatically compiles transaction information for a consumer from merchants that sell products in various categories and merchants that sell products in only a single category. The bot categorizes the consumer's purchases from the merchants and determines percentages of consumer spending in each category. The bot may obtain a category for purchases from merchants selling a single category of items based on a merchant identifier such as a merchant code. For other merchants, the bot may obtain category information from the merchant or from an analysis of a category code, or a product or service description or identifier. The categories and percentages of the consumer's purchases may be provided by the bot to the consumer or to a third party. The bot may provide special offers and promotions to a consumer based on the compiled category information and percentage spending by the consumer by category.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2022Date of Patent: October 22, 2024Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Eric Dryer, Pratap Dande, Kevin A. Delson, Gilbert Gatchalian, Lalit Dhawan, Linda Haddad, Morgan Allen

Publication number: 20240177575Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for providing an automated pull request using cross channel communications. The method includes receiving an executed action request including a request to obtain information relating to an executed action on an executed action date. The information is obtained via servicing an automated teller machine associated with the executed action. The method also includes determining a last service date for the automated teller machine associated with the executed action. The method further includes comparing the last service date for the automated teller machine associated with the executed action to the executed action date. The method further includes causing a service action related to the automatic teller machine to be executed based on the determination of the last service date before the executed action date.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2022Publication date: May 30, 2024Applicant: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Eric Dryer, Gary L.

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
