  • Patent number: 11132183
    Abstract: This disclosure involves development and deployment platforms for decision algorithms. For example, a computing system provides software development interface to a client device. The system sets, based on an input from the client device via the interface, a decision engine to a test mode that causes the decision engine to operate on test data stored in a first database and that prevents the decision engine from applying operations from the client device to production data stored in a second database. The system also configures the decision engine in the test mode to execute a different decision algorithms on the test data. The system also sets, based on another input via the interface, the decision engine to a deployment mode that causes the decision engine to operate on the production data. The system configures the decision engine in the deployment mode to execute one or more of the tested decision algorithms.

  • Patent number: 10502839
    Abstract: A method for reducing battery consumption while automatically tracking mileage may include detecting a trip initiation event at a location of a mobile device, initiating, by activating a geolocation sensor, tracking of global positions, and obtaining a global position of the mobile device corresponding to the location. The method may further include adding the global position to a global position sequence, and detecting, using trip updating parameters, a sequence of trip updating events. The trip updating parameters may include an update distance, an update period, and a reduced update velocity. The method may further include obtaining a sequence of updated global positions corresponding to the sequence of trip updating events. The method may further include adding each updated global position to the global position sequence, detecting a trip termination event, and stopping, in response to detecting the trip termination event, the tracking of global positions by deactivating the geolocation sensor.

  • Publication number: 20170300184
    Abstract: An uncategorized financial transaction display includes a listing of uncategorized financial transactions and personal and business display regions, the personal uncategorized financial transaction display region being associated with a personal financial transaction category and a business uncategorized financial transaction display region being associated with a business financial transaction category. A user is provided the capability to categorize each of the uncategorized financial transactions by selecting an uncategorized financial transaction listed in the uncategorized financial transaction display and making a sweeping motion to either the personal or business display region of the uncategorized financial transaction display. Once a user makes a sweeping motion to either the personal or business display region, the user is provided sub-category options within the uncategorized financial transaction display and an indication of the tax ramifications of the selected categorization.

  • Patent number: 8108301
    Abstract: The present invention relates to application processing and decisioning systems and processes. One embodiment of the invention includes a method for automating decisioning for a credit request associated with an applicant. The method includes providing a user computer interface adapted to receive information associated with an applicant, and further adapted to display and receive information associated with at least one decision rule. The method also includes receiving information associated with an applicant through the user computer interface; receiving information associated with the applicant from at least one data source; and receiving a selection of information associated with a plurality of decision rules through the user computer interface.

  • Patent number: 7970698
    Abstract: The present invention relates to automated decisioning for a credit request associated with an applicant. Information associated with an applicant is received. Data associated with the applicant is received from at least one data source. A user interface is configured to allow a user to provide a definition of decision rules in a near-natural language. Information associated with the decision rules is determined based on the definition of the decision rules. A selection of rule flow information associated with the decision rules is received through the user computer interface. A decision is generated based on the information associated with the applicant, data associated with the applicant from the at least one data source, the information associated with the decision rules, and the selection of information associated with decision rules. The decision is displayed.
