  • Patent number: 11966914
    Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method for executing real-time processing of resource transfers using distributed ledger technology is provided. In particular, the system utilizes a private or semi-private blockchain to create a distributed ledger which comprises a record of all resource transfers between a number of entities. The real-time processing system addresses a number of computer technology-centric challenges associated with executing resource transfers. In particular, executing resource transfers on a real-time basis allows the nodes of the blockchain to more evenly distribute computing workload over time when compared to more traditional resource transfer systems that use batch processing to execute transfers.

  • Patent number: 11966922
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for scanning and mapping entity portals to distribution processing systems. The present invention may be configured to scan an entity portal of a distribution processing system to generate responses of the entity portal to test distributions, where the entity portal is associated with an entity, and where the distribution processing system processes distributions for the entity. The present invention may be configured to receive, from the entity portal, responses of the entity portal to the test distributions, where the responses include data associated with distributions processed by the distribution processing system for the entity. The present invention may be configured to determine, based on the data, resources offered by the entity to users, an accounting hierarchy of the entity, and settlement procedures for processing distributions for the entity and generate a mapping of the entity portal to another distribution processing system.

  • Patent number: 11966779
    Abstract: A system is provided for transfer of digital resources using an integrated resource platform. In particular, the system may comprise a networked platform that may be accessible by one or more users to access digital resources (e.g., non-fungible tokens stored on a distributed register). The platform may further display a graphical user interface through which the user may take various actions with respect to such digital resources, including the ability to view metadata associated with the resources or to transfer the resources. In this regard, the platform may integrate multiple different types of distributed registers and/or legacy computing systems such that the user may access the digital resources along with the functions associated therewith.

  • Patent number: 11917071
    Abstract: A universal tag linked to the content of a data file for protecting the authenticity of the data file and/or the owner/creator of a digital file. The universal tag is linked to the content in the data file via one or more input keys/seeds that are used to generate the universal tag and rely on data associated with the content. Once generated, the universal tag is registered on a distributed ledger of at least on distributed trust computing network, which acts as a source of truth to validate the universal tag and, as such, validate (i) an authenticity of the data file, and/or (ii) the user associated with the data file (e.g., rightful possessor and/or creator of the digital file).

  • Patent number: 11893418
    Abstract: Initiating the processing of resource events across disparate real-time processing networks, such as networks located international. In order to facilitate such resource events determinations are made that authorize the resource event participants to conduct the resource event across the international real-time processing networks. Once properly authorized the present invention provides for processing parameters to be determined, which may be specific to anyone of the resource participants and/or international real-time processing networks. Such processing parameters may be related to rules associated with settlement of the resource event, conversion rules for the international conversion of resources, resource sponsorship and the like. Once the resource event has been authorized and processing parameters determined, commands are sent to the respective interconnected international real-time processing networks that initiate the real-time processing of the resource event.

  • Patent number: 11880440
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for a scheme evaluation authentication system to evaluate user action and machine learned pattern recognition for misappropriation activity prevention. In this way, bot and token deployment is utilized for identification of user actions to generate a user idiosyncrasy database. Using the database, the system creates a real-time scheme evaluation authentication for user authentication upon user attempted authentications. As such, a user may by authenticate irrespective of user inputs, but instead based on a match of user actions at the authentication location in real-time compared to the idiosyncrasy database.

  • Publication number: 20230379163
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for generation of dynamic authentication tokens for use in system-to-system transaction authorization and user identity verification. The system utilizes user biometric data to generate unique authentication tokens which are customized to a particular user. Furthermore, the system rotates not only the encryption algorithms used, but also the datasets being encrypted in order to provide a high level of security such that even if a user's biometric data was compromised, it would be highly unlikely that an attacker would be able to recreate the authentication token stemming from said biometric data at any given point in time. The system eliminates the need for user-provided authentication credentials and provides a more secure and more efficient method of authenticating data exchange between multiple systems or applications.

  • Patent number: 11763224
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for utilizing machine learning to calculate product replacement cycle times and predict resource transfers associated with said product replacements. As such, the system allows for receipt of resource transfer datasets which are processed along with historical datasets via a machine learning engine. The system may then identify data trends and generate predictions of future resource transfers associated with product or service lifecycles. Furthermore, the system may also identify potential merchants or other third-party systems which may be associated with the predicted future transfers.
