  • Patent number: 12657587
    Abstract: Systems and methods for preventing fraud using behavioral biometrics may include a server with memory and a processor. The processor may be configured to create a behavioral biometric use-print for a user based on a plurality of observed and recorded user interactions and then monitor one or more behavioral biometrics of the user while the user accesses a user account. These monitored behavioral biometrics may be compared against the behavioral biometric use-print to determine if there are material deviations indicating that the user is under stress. When the server determines that the user is under stress, it may provide an intervention to help safeguard against potential in-process fraud.

  • Publication number: 20240020666
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments pertain to automated bill sharing. An intent to pay a bill can be detected by detecting activation of a first payment application on a customer device near a point-of-sale device or by analyzing a customer conversation. A sharing model can be invoked to determine if the bill is to be shared with a party. The sharing model can be trained with a machine learning technique based on transaction history of the customer and party. A party device can be detected within proximity of the customer device to determine sharing or identify the party. A second payment application can be activated on the party device. The sharing model can be invoked to determine payment shares between the first and second payment applications. A shared payment can be completed to a point-of-sale device according to the payment shares, the first payment application, and the second payment application.

  • Patent number: 5845325
    Abstract: Hardware and software improvements in workstations which utilize virtual addressing in multi-user operating systems with write back caches, including operating systems which allow each user to have multiple active processes. In virtual addressing, multi-user workstations, system performance may be improved significantly by including a virtual address write back cache as one of the system elements. Data protection and the reassignment of virtual addresses are supported within such a system as well. Multiple active processes, each with its own virtual address space, and an operating system shared by those processes in a manner which is invisible to user programs. Cache "Flush" logic is used to remove selected blocks from the virtual cache when virtual addresses are to be reassigned.

  • Patent number: 5119290
    Abstract: Improvements in workstations which utilizes virtual addressing in multi-user operating systems with write back caches, including operating systems which allow each user to have multiple active processes directed to the support of alias addresses, i.e., two or more virtual addresses which map to the same physical address in real memory Specifically, alias addresses are created so that their low order address bits are identical, modulo the size of the cache (as a minimum) for user programs which use alias addresses generated by the kernel, or wholely within the kernel. For alias addresses in the operating system, rather than user programs, which cannot be made to match in their low order address bits, their pages are assigned as "Don't Cache" pages in the memory management unit (MMU) employed by workstations which utilize virtual addressing.
