  • Publication number: 20210390528
    Abstract: A computing apparatus including: a processing system to process a predetermined type of operations using a predetermined communication protocol on a first network connecting a terminal in a first geographical region and a resource controller in a second geographical region; a communication portal to communicate using a second network; and a data store coupled with the processing system. The communication portal communicates via the second network with the mobile device to establish, in the data store, a resource correlation record associating a first resource controlled by the resource controller in the second geographical region with a second resource. The resource correlation record includes locale dependent parameters. In response to a communication initiated in the terminal for an operation of the predetermined type using the first resource, the processing system applies the second resource to the operation in accordance with the resource correlation record using at least the locale dependent parameters.

  • Publication number: 20210073283
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods and devices for predicting interactions. One embodiment is directed to a method comprising receiving, by one or more computers, interaction data for a plurality of known interactions between resource providers and users, and creating a topological graph based on the plurality of known interactions. The method may further comprise determining, by the one or more computers, a plurality of communities to form a predictive model, and receiving a request for a prediction. In addition, the method may comprise applying the request to the predictive model, by the one or more computers, by identifying a community in the plurality of communities corresponding to the request, determining a node within the identified community, and providing information regarding the node as the requested prediction.
