Publication number: 20250261029Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2024Publication date: August 14, 2025Inventors: Tushar Jain, Kalyan Pallapolu, Stephen T.

Patent number: 12346863Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2022Date of Patent: July 1, 2025Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Stephen T.

Patent number: 12223479Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2023Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Naga Vamsi Krishna Akkapeddi, Morgan S.

Patent number: 12131378Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2023Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Siten Sanghvi, Morgan S.

Publication number: 20240232750Abstract: 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.
