  • Patent number: 12619802
    Abstract: A method includes determining a first state of a simulation being run by a system and sending first data indicative of the first state of the simulation to a first computing device. The method further includes receiving, after the first data is sent, second data from the first computing device. The second data includes at least one first instruction configured to cause a first move associated with the simulation and is formatted according to a specification. The method further includes determining a second state of the simulation based on the second data received from the first computing device and sending third data indicative of the second state of the simulation to a second computing device. The method further includes receiving, after sending the third data, fourth data from the second computing device. The fourth data includes at least one second instruction configured to cause a second move.

  • Publication number: 20260017544
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described herein for performing sentiment analysis on electronic communications relating to one or more image-based communications methods, such as emoji. Message data may be received. The message data may correspond to a message that is intended to be sent but has not yet been sent to an application. Using a first machine learning model, one or more subsets of the plurality of emoji may be determined. The one or more subsets of the plurality of emoji may comprise one or more different types and quantities of emoji, and may each correspond to the same or a different sentiment. Using a second machine learning model, one or more emojis may be selected from the one or more subsets. The one or more emojis selected may correspond to responses to the message.

  • Patent number: 12456123
    Abstract: A fraud detection system may identify a suspected fraudulent transaction based on one or more criteria. The transaction may be associated with a user. Based on identifying a suspected fraudulent transaction, the fraud detection system may receive augmented reality data from an augmented reality device of the user. The fraud detection system may determine, based on the augmented reality data, whether the transaction is fraudulent, and may take an action based on the determination.

  • Publication number: 20250182154
    Abstract: An example method includes identifying, using a browser extension, content of a first webpage of a first website being displayed using a browser. The identifying of the content includes determining a product related to the content of the first webpage and determining that the product has been added to an electronic shopping cart. The method further includes determining a merchant that offers the product for sale and determining, based on a user account associated with the browser extension, a customer reward offered by the merchant and available to the user account. The method further includes determining that the browser has navigated away from the first webpage to a second webpage of a second website. The method further includes modifying the browser to display a graphical user interface element including information about the customer reward and a link configured to navigate the browser back to the first website.

  • Publication number: 20250005126
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an authentication prompt may be generated based on (i) an object, detected in an image stream of an environment of a user, satisfying one or more criteria and (ii) object data associated with the detected object. The criteria may include (i) the object being in a plurality of different samples and (ii) the object being in a first spatial region of a first sample of the different samples, where the first spatial region of the first sample is a spatial region at which the user looked. An authentication response may be obtained from a user device of the user in connection with the authentication prompt, and the user may be authenticated based on the authentication response obtained from the user device.

  • Patent number: 12045566
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing an untrained machine learning model with a combined message and an appropriate emoji reaction icon. An embodiment operates by receiving a first and second user message. The first and second user comprises a first and second user text or a first and second user-inserted emoji reaction icon, respectively. The first or second user text is associated with a first or second system-specified emoji reaction icon, respectively. Thereafter, the first user message is determined to be associated with the second user message, the combined message is created based on the first and second messages, and the appropriate emoji reaction is identified as associated with the combined message. The combined message and associated appropriate emoji reaction icon are then sent to an untrained machine learning model configured to for training.
