Patent number: 11734686Abstract: Methods and systems for using block chain technology to verify transaction data are described herein. A computing platform may receive data about events related to transactions, personal or corporate information, supply chains, and other relevant information about a person or corporate entity. The event information may be received, aggregated, and processed to determine metadata about the person or corporate entity. The metadata may indicate, for example, a trustworthiness of the person or corporate entity for various purposes. Such event information and/or metadata may be stored as transactions in a block chain that may be accessible by counterparties to a potential transaction involving the person or corporate entity. The automated event processing computing platform may further use automated techniques to implement smart transactions between the person/entity and counterparty based on the trust metadata.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Jisoo Lee, John C.

Patent number: 11645096Abstract: A system includes a memory and a node. The memory stores first and second log string correlithm objects. The node receives first and second real-world numerical values, and identifies a first sub-string correlithm object from the first log string correlithm object that corresponds to the first real-world numerical value. The node aligns the first and second log string correlithm objects such that the first sub-string correlithm object aligns with a sub-string correlithm object from the second log string correlithm object representing the logarithmic value of one. The node identifies a second sub-string correlithm object from the second log string correlithm object that corresponds to the second real-world numerical value, and determines which sub-string correlithm object from the first log string correlithm object aligns with the second sub-string correlithm object from the second log string correlithm object.

Patent number: 11392375Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to codebase effort tracking. A computing platform may detect accessing of a first code resource by a user of a computing device and initiate tracking of a first interaction time associated with the first code resource. Subsequently, the computing platform may detect loss of interaction with the first code resource and terminate tracking of the first interaction time. Then, the computing platform may detect accessing of a second code resource by the user of the computing device and initiate tracking of a second interaction time associated with the second code resource. Based on the tracking of the respective interaction times, the computing platform may generate and store a code complexity metric. Then, the computing platform may repeat one or more steps for a third code resource and update the code complexity metric based on a third interaction time associated with the third code resource.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2021Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Daniel Joseph Serna, Patrick N.
