  • Transaction lifecycle management
    Patent number: 11012404
    Abstract: A transaction management platform is provided that is configured to perform end-to-end tracking of messages in a medical network. Message tracking information is used to provide a graphical diagram to represent flow of messages within the medical network. Graphical properties of the diagram correspond to different properties of the messages.

  • Transaction lifecycle management
    Patent number: 10263945
    Abstract: A transaction management platform is provided that is configured to perform end-to-end tracking of transactions including messages. Message tracking information is used to identify anomalies at certain nodes in a network. For example, if too many or too few messages are passing through a node as compared to historical values, an anomaly event may be logged as anomaly and a graphical diagram may be updated.

  • Transaction lifecycle management
    Patent number: 10033611
    Abstract: A transaction management platform is provided that is configured to perform end-to-end tracking of transactions including messages. The messages are tracked using unique message identifiers that are generated and associated with messages. The unique message identifiers operate as pointers to allow the transaction management platform to monitor the messages. The transaction management platform also includes a plurality of engines and/or services to enable generation of a variety of different graphical diagrams. The graphical diagrams illustrate features such as, for example, component health, message volume, reconciliation, and other similar features.

  • End-to-end transaction tracking engine
    Patent number: 9973465
    Abstract: A transaction management platform is provided that is configured to perform end-to-end tracking of transactions including messages. The messages may be tracked using universal message identifiers that are generated and associated with messages. The universal message identifiers are generated based on a message list received from a source node. A predicted path is determined for each message based on a message type for each message. The movements of a particular message are tracked by sending queries requesting message statuses to each node within the particular message's predicted path. A record associated with the particular message is updated after receiving query responses.
