  • Publication number: 20250261029
    Abstract: Arrangements for geo-fencing based load balancing are provided. A computing platform may identify a current load for a plurality of entity locations based on geo-location data determined from a user computing device, associate provided data, and/or image data. A load for each location may be compared to a location-specific threshold to determine a flag for each location identifying whether each location is over threshold or under threshold. A request for service may be received from a user at a first entity location. The flag for the first entity location may be identified and, if the flag is under threshold, the user request may be processed at the first entity location. If the flag is over threshold, a second entity location that is under may be identified. The computing platform may initiate a communication session between devices at the first location and the second location to enable processing of the request.

  • Patent number: 12346863
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a decision model to open and close enterprise facilities. A computing platform may receive one or more attributes associated with an operation of an enterprise facility. Subsequently, the computing platform may identify, based on the one or more attributes, a business operation rule for the enterprise facility. Then, the computing platform may determine, based on the one or more attributes and the business operation rule, an operational parameter for the enterprise facility. Then, the computing platform may compare the operational parameter to a threshold parameter, where the threshold parameter may be indicative of whether to keep the enterprise facility open for business. Then, the computing platform may, upon a determination that the operational parameter fails to exceed the threshold parameter, determine to temporarily close the enterprise facility. Then, the computing platform may redistribute user traffic to one or more open customer resource facilities.

  • Patent number: 12223479
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to detecting usage issues on enterprise systems and dynamically providing user assistance. In some embodiments, a computing platform may receive, from an automated teller system, user presence information indicating that a user has been detected at an automated teller machine associated with the automated teller system. Subsequently, the computing platform may identify, based on the user presence information received from the automated teller system, that the user has a need for assistance with the automated teller machine associated with the automated teller system. In response to identifying that the user has the need for assistance, the computing platform may generate and send one or more commands directing the automated teller machine associated with the automated teller system to execute one or more automated assistance actions corresponding to the need for assistance.

  • Patent number: 12131378
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to machine learning based automated management of a user account. A computing platform may determine, via a computing device and based on historical user activity of a user, a pattern of the user activity. Subsequently, the computing platform may detect a deviation from the pattern of the user activity. Then, the computing platform may identify an anticipated transaction of the user. Then, the computing platform may retrieve, from a repository of user data, one or more user-defined preference rules associated with the anticipated transaction. Then, the computing platform may determine whether the one or more preference rules apply to one or more attributes of the anticipated transaction. Subsequently, the computing platform may trigger, based on a determination that the one or more preference rules apply to the one or more attributes of the anticipated transaction, an action associated with the anticipated transaction.

  • Publication number: 20240232750
    Abstract: Arrangements related to resource allocation are provided. A computing platform may receive a client request, and may input, into a resource allocation model, the client request, to identify one or more available resources for processing the client request. The computing platform may send, to user devices of the identified one or more available resources, requests to process the client request. The computing platform may receive, within a predetermined period of time, a response from at least one of the one or more available resources, indicating acceptance of the request to process the client request. The computing platform may select one of the one or more available resources, and may configure a virtual assistance session between the client and the selected resource to facilitate processing of the client request.

  • Patent number: 12001970
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to automated pairing of customers and businesses. A computing platform may determine, based on historical user activity of a user, a pattern of the user activity, and may identify, based on the pattern of the user activity, an anticipated purchase activity of the user. Then, the computing platform may determine a sales offering by a vendor. Then, the computing platform may match the anticipated purchase activity with the sales offering. Then, the computing platform may retrieve user-defined preference rules associated with the anticipated purchase activity. Then, the computing platform may determine whether the preference rules apply to one or more attributes of the anticipated purchase activity. Subsequently, the computing platform may trigger, based on a determination that the preference rules apply to the one or more attributes of the anticipated purchase activity, an action associated with the anticipated purchase activity.

  • Patent number: 11907895
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to use of supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, or reinforcement-based machine learning algorithm(s) to perform pattern recognition and/or cluster detection on historical transactional data in order to predict events that may occur in the future and are candidates for automated delivery of items from a source to a customer in a contactless manner, via a secure delivery device, to minimize health risk(s) to the customer. The items may be securely delivered in an automated manner such as, for example, by use of a drone or autonomous vehicle, which may have advanced sensors to facilitate various aspects of the delivery. The items may be contained in a secure carrier coupled to the delivery device and may be unlocked locally or remotely using mechanical or digital means. Novel logical systems, architectures, machines, platforms, delivery devices and components thereof, and methods are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11790638
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to monitoring devices at enterprise locations using machine-learning models to protect enterprise-managed information and resources. In some embodiments, a computing platform may receive, from one or more data source computer systems, passive monitoring data. Based on applying a machine-learning classification model to the passive monitoring data received from the one or more data source computer systems, the computing platform may determine to trigger a data capture process at an enterprise center. In response to determining to trigger the data capture process, the computing platform may initiate an active monitoring process to capture event data at the enterprise center. Thereafter, the computing platform may generate one or more alert messages based on the event data captured at the enterprise center. Then, the computing platform may send the one or more alert messages to one or more enterprise computer systems.
