  • Patent number: 11769145
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to techniques to simulate conditions while progressing towards a goal state using token conversions. Tokens can be assets associated with a defined goal and can be implemented to segment accounts for a defined purpose and to improve user planning. An account can be segmented by converting a portion of the user's account balance to tokens to progress towards the goal. In some implementations, a simulation can generate a target token conversion schedule that achieves a target number of tokens at a target date. However, user behavior can change the observed token amounts and cause deviations from the schedule. The simulations can alter the token conversion schedule and arrive at a new target date for the target number of tokens. In some implementations, automated agents and machine learning components can be used to implement the token tracking and simulations.

  • Patent number: 11758020
    Abstract: Implementations selectively message member account data to client applications to reduce server load. When a monitored load on cloud servers meets a criteria, a hold status may be triggered. During the hold status, member accounts may be monitored and client applications may be transmitted push messages, for example when a change is detected in a member's monitored account. The push messages can contain the detected changes, such as a posted transaction that triggered the message. Implementations of the client application can be configured to display local data (stored from the push messages) during the hold status in response to a member's request to access/view their account. Because server to client communication is limited to messages that contain member account changes, an overall server load can be reduced.
