  • Publication number: 20240135764
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing secure access to a locker of a locker system based on a token that includes token data and a message authentication code (MAC) to authenticate the token data. The token data includes at least the unique locker identifier for the locker. The MAC can be generated using a secret key. The secret key can be obtained based on a unique derivation key associated with a master key. The locker system can determine whether the token is valid based on the token data, the MAC, and the secret key. In response to a determination that the token is valid, the locker system can send a signal to unlock the locker.

  • Patent number: 11966333
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable intelligent dynamic caching of data by accessing an activity history of historical electronic activity data entries associated with a user account, and utilizing a trained entity relevancy machine learning model to predict a degree of relevance of each entity associated with the historical electronic activity data entries in the activity history based at least in part on model parameters and activity attributes of each electronic activity data entry. A set of relevant entities are determined based at least in part on the degree of relevance of each entity. Pre-cached entities are identified based on pre-cached entity data records cached on the user device, and un-cached relevant entities from the set of relevant entities are identified based on the pre-cached entities. The cache on the user device is updated to cache the un-cached entity data records associated with the un-cached relevant entities.

  • Publication number: 20240116040
    Abstract: A submicron-sized Pickering miniemulsion system stabilized by carbon quantum dots solid nanoparticles for biphasic catalysis is disclosed, which breaks the existing limits for homogenization of the immiscible biphasic system and overcomes the issues for big size of solid particles-stabilized emulsion droplets. A method for producing the carbon quantum dot-based catalysts and a process of establishing the Pickering miniemulsion system for biphasic reaction with enhanced catalytic efficiency are also disclosed. The carbon quantum dot-stabilized Pickering miniemulsion features a pH-responsive behavior, with a reversible transition between the emulsification and demulsification, triggering the easy & facile product separation and emulsifier/catalyst recycling in one reaction vessel.

  • Patent number: 11935050
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide automatic expense categorization of transactions or expenditures based on a machine learning (ML) model trained using anonymized transactional data for expenditures that are stored in a public blockchain. The anonymized transactional data for the expenditure and the expense category, may be distributed throughout the blockchain network and recorded in the blockchain. In some implementations, an expenditure may be submitted to the blockchain network for expense categorization. The transactional data for the expenditure may be anonymized to remove confidential and personal identifying information (PII) before it is distributed throughout the blockchain network. Each participating node of the blockchain network may utilize the ML model to identify an expense category for the expenditure. The participating nodes may provide a consensus mechanism in order to arrive at a shared understanding of how to categorize the expenditure.

  • Publication number: 20240086555
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable split communication routing. A communication request associated with an electronic activity is received, the communication request specifying a virtual token and a data content, where the virtual token is a proxy for multiple actual data source profiles. A split rule defining a proportion of the data content to be attributed to each actual data source profile is determined. A security score is determined based on each actual data source profile and each proportion of the data content. The communication request is authorized based on the security score exceeding a threshold security score and access to the proportion of the data content in each actual data source profile is enabled. Each proportion of the data content is consolidated into a single response, and the electronic activity is executed with the single response.

  • Publication number: 20240089361
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for manipulating a communication acceptance screen, manipulating an interactive communication acceptance icon, and restricting access to accounts based on voice communication parameters. In particular, when a communication is detected from one device to another device, that communication may be risky. Thus, the risk is mitigated by giving a user information about the source of the communication to give a user a chance to reject the communication. In addition, in instances where the user accepts the communication, the system enables monitoring the communication and restricting any accounts that are disclosed within the communication.

  • Patent number: 11915313
    Abstract: In some implementations, a credit decision platform may receive a credit request from an applicant and obtain domestic historical data associated with the applicant from a credit bureau device. The credit decision platform may obtain access to an email account associated with the applicant based on determining that the domestic historical data associated with the applicant is insufficient to process the credit request. The credit decision platform may identify, using one or more machine learning models, a set of email messages included in the email account that are relevant to the credit request and may analyze content included in the set of email messages to generate non-domestic historical data associated with the applicant. The credit decision platform may generate a decision on the credit request based on an estimated creditworthiness of the applicant, which may be determined based on the non-domestic historical data.
