  • Patent number: 11334626
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to searching a dual database graph. The dual database graph is resident on a dual database graph platform. The platform includes two or more nodes interconnected by one or more edges. The graph database stores graph data corresponding to the graph(s) and a relational database for storing metadata corresponding to the graph(s). The method includes receiving as input a search criterion. The search criterion may include a plurality of data points corresponding to a relational database node profile or a relational database subgraph profile. The platform may search the relational database for a subset of graphs that each includes a relational database node or a relational database subgraph that matches the node profile or subgraph profile of the search criterion. The platform may then retrieve a relational database node or a relational database subgraph that matches the node profile or subgraph profile.

  • Patent number: 11316881
    Abstract: A method for analyzing communications on the internet to identify a probability of an occurrence of an anomalous event relating to a pre-determined entity is provided. The method may include searching on the internet, to identify communications comprising negative sentiment associated with the pre-determined entity. When identified, the method may include further searching for communications including data regarding a physical location and an intended action, both being associated with the pre-determined entity. When one or more instances of these communications are identified, the method may include activating smart sensors embedded within proximity to the identified physical location to capture non-identifiable data and transmit the captured data to a data analysis engine to identify and confirm a probability of the occurrence of the anomalous event.

  • Patent number: 11288679
    Abstract: A system for authorizing an electronic transaction in an augmented reality environment comprises an augmented reality user device and an authentication server. The augmented reality user device includes a display that overlays virtual objects onto a field of view of the user. The user device receives a request to verify information about a payment card used in an electronic transaction. The request includes a virtual authentication object, which is a virtual representation of an object capable of being manipulated by the user in a particular sequence to enter an authentication code. The user device displays the virtual authentication object to the user and detects gestures performed on the virtual authentication object. The user device sends the detected gestures to the authentication server. The authentication server determines the authentication code using the virtual authentication object and the detected gestures, and uses it to authorize the transaction.

  • Publication number: 20220086250
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to cognitive automation-based engine processing to propagate data across multiple systems via a private network to overcome technical system, resource consumption, and architecture limitations. Data to be propagated can be manually input or extracted from a digital file. The data can be parsed by analyzing for correct syntax, normalized into first through sixth normal forms, segmented into packets for efficient data transmission, validated to ensure that the data satisfies defined formats and input criteria, and distributed into a plurality of data stores coupled to the private network, thereby propagating data without repetitive manual entry. The data may also be enriched by, for example, correcting for any errors or linking with other potentially related data. Based on data enrichment, recommendations of additional target(s) for propagation of data can be identified. Reports may also be generated. The cognitive automation may be performed in real-time to expedite processing.

  • Patent number: 11258768
    Abstract: Typically, a business desires to track and monitor all applications run on its servers. Nonetheless, one or more unauthorized applications may be running on the business's servers, exposing the business to potential regulatory liability and security breaches. Apparatus and methods are provided for isolating and disabling one or more unauthorized applications running on a server. The apparatus may comprise a system including a content-filtering web proxy server configured to filter outgoing requests and data associated with the requests. The system may also include a remediation framework configured to monitor request data in a proxy log stored by the proxy server. The remediation framework may be triggered to perform remedial action when the remediation framework determines that a request and associated data, as stored in the proxy log, meets predetermined conditions. The remediation framework, when triggered, may execute steps to truncate functionality of the unauthorized applications.

  • Publication number: 20210390467
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for automated and intelligent analysis of information. The system receives interaction data, interaction metadata, and external information in order to identify parties of interactions, subjects of interactions, and infer relationships between parties and subjects based on the content, context, frequency, and amount of available interaction data. Weighted score scores are generated and used to rank the inferred relationships and determined relevance between parties and subjects. This data may be stored in a graphical database and later used to response to user data queries to facilitate collaboration.

  • Publication number: 20210312360
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a cognitive automation based compliance management system. A computing platform may receive, via a network, an alert notification indicative of a change to a legal framework applicable to an enterprise organization. Subsequently, the computing platform may, in response to the alert notification, detect a task that may be impacted by the change. Then, the computing platform may, upon detecting the task, identify at least one task parameter associated with the task. Then, the computing platform may compare the at least one task parameter with the change to determine whether the task is impacted by the change. Subsequently, the computing platform may, upon a determination that the task is impacted by the change, recommend, via the network, one or more actions associated with the task.

  • Publication number: 20210266743
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to optimizing authentication and management of wireless devices in zero trust computing environments. In some embodiments, a computing platform may receive, from a user computing device, a connection request. Subsequently, the computing platform may generate, using an artificial-intelligence engine, a profile for the connection request. Based on the profile for the connection request generated using the artificial-intelligence engine, the computing platform may determine that the connection request is valid. In response to determining that the connection request is valid, the computing platform may establish a connection with the user computing device. Based on establishing the connection with the user computing device, the computing platform may assign an identity to the user computing device.

  • Publication number: 20210224828
    Abstract: A method for identifying and mitigating a negative sentiment trend derived from sentiment analysis is provided. The analysis is based on aggregating a plurality of biometric information artifacts obtained from consumers in a consumer center. The method includes harvesting the artifacts from the plurality of consumers, identifying a biometric information trend. The biometric trend includes a verbal communications trend recorded from among the plurality of consumers. The verbal communications are captured using microphone(s). The method may also include periodically updating the harvesting to update the biometric information trend. The method may also include determining, over the pre-determined amount of time, that the biometric information trend is a negative biometric information trend. In response to the determining the method may trigger, based at least in part on a slope of the negative biometric information trend, a mitigating response to the negative biometric information trend.
