Patent number: 11374935Abstract: Embodiments provide a system operatively connected with a block chain distributed network and for using the block chain distributed network for facilitating a person-to-person (P2P) alias-based resource allocation. Embodiments receive an event record associated with a P2P event between a first user and a second user. The event record comprises an alias associated with the first user and/or the second user. A distributed ledger is accessed that is updated based on communications from a block chain distributed network. An alias-to-entity mapping is retrieved from the accessed distributed ledger. The alias-to-entity mapping indicates at least an entity to which the alias is mapped. Based on the mapping the alias is determined to be at least partially valid. In some cases, embodiments determine that the alias corresponds to a resource depository number maintained by the entity in a private ledger and authorizes a resource event associated with the resource event request.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Joseph B. Castinado, Venkatakrishnan Balasubramanian, Richard Huw Thomas

Patent number: 10762504Abstract: A closed-loop system is operatively connected with a block chain distributed network for using the block chain distributed network for facilitating operation of a transaction record sharing system. Host and source institutions function to supply a consolidated transaction record to a user in response to a request from a user to the host institution. The request is determined to meet a condition of the block chain thereby verifying the request. The verified request for a transaction record is transmitted to at least one source institution. The transaction record of the source institution is accessed by the host institution. A consolidated transaction record is communicated to the user based on the transaction record.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2016Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Eric Eugene Sifford, Joseph Benjamin Castinado, Richard Huw Thomas
