  • Publication number: 20240127286
    Abstract: A system and method for generating personalized content for a user device. In one example, a system can cause a computing device to display a first plurality of search results on a user interface of a user device based at least in part on a first request. Clickstream data can be identifier from the user interface displayed on the user device. The clickstream data comprises a user-specified sort of the first plurality of search results on the user interface. A sorting habit for the user can be determined based at least in part on the user-specified sort of the first plurality of search results on the user interface. The computing device can display on the user interface a second plurality of search results. The second plurality of search results are sorted for display based at least in part on the sorting habit for the user.

  • Patent number: 11893605
    Abstract: A system and method for generating personalized content for a user device. In one example, a system can cause a computing device to generate a merchant score for a plurality of merchants based at least in part on merchant statistics and display a user interface on a user device of a user. The user interface includes a subset of the merchants that have been identified for a user based at least in part on the merchant score. Clickstream data can be received from the user interface displayed on the user device. An updated merchant score can be generated based at least in part on the user preference. A sorting habit for the user is determined based at least in part on a user-specified sort received from the user interface. A modified subset of the merchants is displayed on the user device based on the sorting habit.

  • Patent number: 11276115
    Abstract: Improved systems and methods are provided for identifying financial relationships. In particular, financial relationships may be identified by associating tradelines with one or more people who sign or co-sign on the tradeline. In various embodiments a method is provided comprising, receiving, at a computer-based system for credit data analysis comprising a processor and a tangible, non-transitory memory, credit reporting data relating to a tradeline, parsing, by the computer-based system, the credit reporting data to yield primary debtor data and secondary debtor data, and linking, by the computer-based system, the tradeline with the primary debtor data and the secondary debtor data.

    Abstract: At least some embodiments are directed to a system that receives data generated when point of sale terminals are used. The point of sale terminals are associated with multiple merchants. The system generates a quantitative data from the received data. The system computes a quality of service score of a first merchant based on the quantitative data. The system generates an item data structure storing values that correlate multiple users with multiple merchants at least based on the quality of service score. The system determines users that are shared by multiple merchants and computes a customer relevance value associated with the user and the first merchant. The system outputs a user-specific recommendation associated with a second merchant to a user computing device, wherein the user-specific recommendation is computed at least in part based on the customer relevance value associated with the first merchant.
