Patent number: 11966914Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Joseph Benjamin Castinado, Charles Russell Kendall, Martha Sain McClellan, Lee Ann Proud, Ayeesha Sachedina, Calvin William Tackett, Jr.

Patent number: 11966922Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Lee Ann Proud, Joseph Benjamin Castinado, Hosam Sonny ElHamahmy, David Gregg Kambour, Amy Marie Lamb, Jennifer Ann Maggart
