  • Patent number: 11165817
    Abstract: A computer method and system for detecting denial of service network attacks by analyzing intercepted data packets on a network to determine a user account associated with a preselected target host sought to be accessed via a user account login attempt. Determine if the login attempt exceeds a predetermined login value for previous failed login attempts associated with the user account sought to be accessed. Determine a geographic location associated with the login attempt if determined the login attempt exceeded the predetermined login value. Determine if a prior login attempt to the user account sought to be accessed was successful from the determined geographic location. Authenticate the login attempt to the user account sought to be accessed in the event it was determined a prior successful login attempt was made to the user account from the determined geographic location or no prior login attempts originated from the determined geographic location.

  • Publication number: 20210314296
    Abstract: A method and system for aggregating into a unique aggregated group (AG), protection groups (PGs) that are possible classifications with at least a threshold probability for a same unique combination of IP addresses. The PGs and the unique combination of IP addresses are included in the AG. Each of the IP addresses of the unique combination of IP addresses have respective associated probabilities for each PG included in the AG. The method further includes selecting and providing for display AGs based on the probabilities associated with the respective IP addresses included in the AGs, and providing for display at least one interactive graphical element in association with each AG selected for display. User activation of one of the interactive graphical element accepts assignment of one or more selected IP addresses included in the AG to a selected one of the one or more PGs included in the AG.

  • Patent number: 11127041
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for determining when an electronic correspondence is reviewed by a consumer, and referencing this information when generating a subsequent electronic correspondence. The information may be used to determine when to send the subsequent electronic correspondence to the consumer. For example, the subsequent correspondence may be sent at the same time of day as when the consumer is determined to have previously reviewed an electronic correspondence. The information may also be used to determine what to include in the subsequent electronic correspondence. For example, time-sensitive promotions that are selected based on the information identifying the previous time at which the consumer reviewed a previous electronic correspondence, may be included in the subsequent electronic correspondence.

  • Publication number: 20210287565
    Abstract: A monitoring and play making recommendation system for the sport of football that uses a combination of historical and real-time data for proving a coaching recommendation. In one example, the coaching recommendation is based on a fourth-down play and includes a recommendation to attempt a field goal, punt, or attempt a fourth down conversion. Each recommendation is associated with a team's ultimate game winning probability. Data relied upon by the system can be changed based on predetermined profile data for various on-field teams or by changing individual team attributes based on the absence or presence of individual players. Recommendations are provided as visualizations and relayed to a user interface. The system may also work on a media platform for modifying live video feeds and presenting certain game winning opportunity graphics to home viewers.
