  • 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: 11956218
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for implementing dynamic network channel switching for secure communication. The present invention is configured to receive, from a first user input device, a resource transfer request via a first communication channel; determine, using a secure channel monitoring engine, that the first communication channel does not meet one or more preset channel requirements for secure communication; determine a second communication channel associated with a second user input device, wherein the second user input device is within a preset geographic radius of the first user input device, wherein the second user input device is associated with the resource distribution platform; trigger, via the second communication channel, the second user input device to establish a communication link with the first user input device to form an alternate communication channel; and execute, via the alternate communication channel, the resource transfer request.

  • Patent number: 11665163
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for dynamic resource interaction allocation based on geographic positioning and usage category information associated with a resource interaction system. The invention receives a base positional location and category of usage for a resource interaction system. The invention determines a set of parameters to be used for interactions having characteristics meeting the determined base positional location and category of usage information. When it receives a proposed interaction from a requesting system containing geographic information and usage category information associated with the proposed interaction, it determines whether the geographic information and usage category information associated with the proposed interaction correspond to the base positional location and category of usage for the resource interaction system.

  • Patent number: 11663042
    Abstract: A system generates electronic alerts through predictive analysis of resource conversions. The system may continuously monitor executed resource transfers to generate historical resource transfer data. Based on the historical resource transfer data, the system may generate a predicted outcome of executing transfers of resources in a first format compared to transfers of resources in a second format. The predicted outcome may then be implemented by the system to select a resource format for transfers occurring in the future and/or at specified intervals.
