  • Patent number: 11494775
    Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for identifying fraudulent transactions. In some examples, a computing device generates a decision matrix to identify fraudulent transactions. To generate the decision matrix, the computing device may determine scores for a plurality of transactions, and may determine transaction categories for each transaction based on the scores. The computing device may also determine a number of predictable features based on applying machine learning techniques to the transactions. A risk category is then determined for the number of predictable features. The computing device generates the decision matrix based on the transaction categories and the risk categories. In some examples, the computing device applies the generated decision matrix to an ongoing purchase transaction to determine if the ongoing purchase transaction is fraudulent.

  • Patent number: 8751399
    Abstract: Electronic payment card money laundering detection includes receiving real-time payment card transaction data from ingress channels and an egress channels of at least one payment card system through a first API; generating transactional profiles for each of at least payment cards, the ingress channel, the egress channels, and funding sources of the payment cards; in response to receiving transaction data for a current payment card transaction, evaluating the transaction data using a predictive algorithm that compares the transaction data to the transactional profiles to calculate a probabilistic money laundering score for the current transaction; evaluating the probabilistic money laundering score and current transaction data based on a set of rules to generate a suspicious activity report that recommends whether to approve or report the current transaction; and transmitting the suspicious activity report back to the payment card system and transmitting the suspicious activity report to an identified regulato

  • Patent number: 8689175
    Abstract: A system for generating and deploying rules in a business rule management system (BRMS) is described. An example system includes a communications module and a translator. The communications module may be configured to receive an input. The input may specify a rule expressed in a custom syntax. The translator may be configured to translate the rule expressed in the custom syntax into a translated rule. The translated rule may be in a form of a source code suitable for being compiled into an executable module.

  • Patent number: 7600235
    Abstract: According to the invention, case members each include a main surface and side surfaces provided at ends of the main surface. At a corner where a pair of side surfaces in at least one of the case members adjoin, an integral part having at least one pair of continuously integrated side surfaces is provided. Therefore, the corners of the case members can be prevented from bending or deforming, and the mechanical strength of the main surface can be improved. Therefore, the shock resistance can be improved, and the thickness of the case members can be reduced in order to reduce the size and weight of the device.
