  • Patent number: 11966386
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for utilizing accumulation records to reduce a number of transactions occurring in a network. Aggregated quantities are calculated from at least a first quantity from a first sub-system and a second quantity from the second sub-system. Preliminary amounts may be reduced based on cap amounts less the aggregated quantity, and transmission of messages to certain sub-systems may be precluded. Accumulation records may be maintained by a service provider computer on an ongoing basis. The service provider computer forwards responses that reflect a reduced preliminary amount to a requesting computer that initiated a response.

  • Patent number: 10255334
    Abstract: A count of documents similar to a reference document is determined based on a plurality of similarity ratings. Each similarity rating may be based on a number of co-occurring terms between the reference document and the corresponding similar documents. A graphical user interface (GUI) may be provided. The GUI may include a GUI element that is associated with the similar documents. Furthermore, the GUI element may include a visual representation of a number of documents for each similarity rating that are retrievable based on a selection of the corresponding similarity rating. The GUI element may be provided prior to retrieving one of the similar documents.
