  • Patent number: 11853302
    Abstract: A particular option selection may be provided by an online service platform (OSP) to a client regarding one or more predefined services that the OSP can be configured to perform. These may include automatic activities option selection(s) that may trigger the OSP to automatically start one or more activities upon one or more thresholds being crossed. The OSP may apply digital rules to the dataset(s) of the client to determine whether or not to automatically start or stop activities, including producing respective resources, upon a threshold being crossed, to determine a requested resource and then push, send, or otherwise cause to be transmitted a notification regarding the produced resource or other activities.

  • Patent number: 11790462
    Abstract: A service engine determines that an entity meets a first nexus establishment condition for a first domain and a second nexus establishment condition for a second domain. The service engine then computes a first selected resource for the first domain and a second selected resource for the second domain. When the service engine determines that the entity no longer meets the second nexus establishment condition for the second domain, the service engine determines a nexus-ending date for the second domain. Prior to the nexus-ending date being satisfied, the service engine continues to compute the first selected resource for the first domain and the second selected resource for the second domain. In response to the nexus-ending date being satisfied, the service engine computes the first selected resource for the first domain but does not compute the second selected resource for the second domain.

  • Patent number: 11722433
    Abstract: An online software platform (OSP) classifies challenges to digital rules into buckets according to respective challenged digital rules that were applied to produce respective challenged resources. The OSP computes respective statistics for the buckets. Each bucket may have a corresponding statistic associated with the bucket based on a current total number of challenges that have been classified into that bucket. The OSP ranks the buckets according to the respective statistics of the buckets. The OSP may correct, based on the ranking of the buckets, the respective challenged stored digital rule of the selected bucket without yet correcting the respective challenged digital rule of at least one of the other buckets. This correction is stored and included in digital rules to be used to produce resources going forward.

  • Publication number: 20220006881
    Abstract: An online software platform (OSP) may store custom digital rules used for producing resources for relationship instances of certain primary entities with other entities. A custom rule may be created based on input from the primary entity that is intended to override a corresponding one of other stored digital rules (i.e., resource digital rules). The OSP automatically alerts the primary entity within a user interface or via other communications in response to the determination that an underlying change in data used to process primary entity data would affect a result of application of the custom digital rule, thus enabling such changes to be efficiently addressed and prevent incorrect results being output.
