  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20230308427
    Abstract: A network of nodes for a distributed register, in which the nodes include interaction terminals (e.g., ATMs, recyclers, point-of-sale devices, or the like). The interaction terminals allow a user to enter into an interaction that includes transferring resources through the use of the distributed register. The interaction terminals may be utilized in order to authenticate the user using traditional authentication processes or through the use of the distributed register. The interaction terminals may determine if the interaction is for a traditional interaction or if the interaction is being used for an interaction on the distributed ledger. Since the interaction terminals are operated by the organizations, they can be registered as trusted authorities on the distributed register, and as such, the blocks created for interactions by the interactional terminals may be validated without the need for consensus algorithms, or with reduced consensus requirements.

  • Publication number: 20230259394
    Abstract: Capabilities for resource event processing are increased at resource event processing apparatus through use of a peer-to-peer resource event processing network. The resource event processing apparatus receives an alias associated with a user of the peer-to-peer resource event processing network. In response, the resource event processing apparatus communicates a peer-to-peer resource event request to the peer-to-peer resource event network. In response to the peer-to-peer resource event network receiving and processing the request, the user’s mobile communication device receives peer-to-peer resource event acceptance request and, in response to the user providing an input to accept the peer-to-peer resource event, the mobile communication device communicates a peer-to-peer resource event confirmation to the peer-to-peer resource event network.

  • Publication number: 20230237517
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system and method for generating and transmitting shareable electronic notification data via a hardware device network. A non-transitory wireless signal is broadcasted from a front-line unit in a network of front-line units, and a user determined to be in proximity to the front-line unit receives via the wireless signal reward data from a database. Electronic notification data is transmitted to the user device, whereafter the electronic notification data is displayed and an option to share the reward data to a secondary user is provided. Once shared, the secondary user's user device establishes a connection to the front-line unit to receive the reward data from the rewards database.

  • Publication number: 20230230458
    Abstract: Consolidated resource event processing at an automated electronic apparatus. A user having a resource depository that is associated with an entity other than the entity controlling the automated electronic apparatus is able to conduct certain resource events at the apparatus, e.g., inputting tangible resources at the automated electronic apparatus, initiating a resource event with a second user at the automated electronic apparatus using the tangible resources, and receiving tangible resources at the automated electronic apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20230214813
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for providing data processing channels for alternative resource usage. The method includes determining a vendor data channel from potential vendor data channel(s) for processing a resource transfer with a user. The method also includes determining a vendor data channel resource value for the potential vendor data channel(s). The vendor data channel resource value is higher for a potential vendor data channel corresponding to a secondary vendor than one corresponding to the primary vendor. The method further includes adjusting a resource transfer value corresponding to the resource transfer based on the vendor data channel resource value. The method still further includes causing an execution of the resource transfer with the determined vendor data channel based on the adjusted resource transfer value in response to determining the vendor resource value is adequate to cover the adjusted resource transfer value.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11469908
    Abstract: A system that provides for management of resource interaction equipment fulfillment via a gateway apparatus that uses Application Programming Interface (API) services to connect and integrate with the various systems deployed by the equipment providers, such that, all data communication between the managing entity and the equipment providers is orchestrated through the gateway apparatus to track the occurrence of events associated with resource interaction equipment fulfillment. Additionally, a distributed trust computing network is implemented in which each of the equipment providers serve as a decentralized node in the distributed trust computing network capable of converging on a data block to verify the validity of the equipment fulfillment process event stored in the block.

  • Patent number: 11176559
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for generating a cross channel cross linkage of channel devices associated with an entity for resource distribution. As such, the system allows for resource distribution across entity devices so that distribution may occur at any location. A resource distribution document may be scanned via a remote device associated with the entity. The system may process the resource distribution document via optical character recognition used for data pulling from the resource distribution document. The system may communicate for acquiring, authenticating, routing, switching, and authorizing the resource distribution. Upon approval of the resource distribution the system may provide the user with a unique identifier for input at a cross channel device for distribution of the resources.
