A plurality of allocations of the credit pool are determined, based on the credit pool, across the plurality of product groups. For each allocation of the plurality of allocations, allocation data indicative of the allocation is provided to a respective credit controller of a set of credit controllers. The respective credit controller is disposed at a respective match engine to which a respective product group of the plurality of product groups is assigned. The use of the credit pool for an incoming order in a respective product group is thus limited in accordance with the allocation data provided to the credit controller at the respective match engine.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2022Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.Inventors: Zachary Bonig, Matthew Morano, Francis Bernard Bakalar, Baris Mestanogullari, James Allen Bailey, Frank Kmiec, Ari L.

Patent number: 12056770Abstract: An investment manager engine automatically manages an investment fund. During an accumulation phase, the investment manager receives messages that include contributions to the investment fund. For each contribution, the investment manager determines an allocation of the contribution among securities and guaranteed income assets. The investment manager allocates at least a portion of the contribution to guaranteed income assets, according to the determined allocation. The guaranteed income assets provide a guaranteed annual income stream upon a predetermined date.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2023Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: BlackRock, Inc.Inventors: Matthew O'Hara, Daniel Yem, Daniel Basile

Patent number: 12056772Abstract: Variants of an application, such as user interface variants and/or logic variants, can be used in a production environment as part of a designed experiment. An experiment manager can cause the application to operate based on different variants for different users and/or instances of input data. Synchronous and/or asynchronous results can be collected that indicate impacts of the variants at the application and/or other downstream systems. Such asynchronous and/or synchronous results can be used to prove or disprove a hypothesis associated with the designed experiment.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2022Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Garren King, Justin Devore, Holly Kay Sanderson, Barbara Williford, Andrew Mathes, Mehron Beheshti, Alexandria Pokorny, Merril Myers, Andy Pulkstenis

Patent number: 12056775Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to transacting via social media interactions. In an example, content posted by a first user of a social media service provider and/or response(s) to the content posted by the first user of the social media service can be analyzed by computing system(s) of a payment processing service provider. The response(s) can be associated with second user(s) of the social media service provider. The computing system(s) can determine, based at least in part on the analyzing, an intent of at least the first user or the second user(s) to participate in a transaction for an item depicted in the content and can create a record indicating that item(s) depicted in the content are available for purchase by the second user(s). The record can be created at or near a time that the content is posted by the first user and used for facilitating the transaction.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2022Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Matthew O'Connor, Roshan Jhunja, Daniel Meyers

Patent number: 12056776Abstract: Methods and systems for assembling and monitoring remote students in an online academic environment are provided, the monitoring including an electronic proctor that determines whether meeting criteria are met. The method includes a use of the system to filter a subpopulation from a population stored in a database, the population including students in the self-paced, online environment. The subpopulation can be selected to meet a first set of criteria for a grouping of students for a group interaction. Additional criteria can be added to provide control over the selection of students for the subpopulation and, thus, control over the design of groups to provide a desired group profile for the group interaction. The methods and systems provided can align and group students of the self-paced, online environment for a group interaction, as well as electronically proctor and otherwise monitor and control the interaction.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2023Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: TURION CORPORATIONInventor: Ze Wei Wong

Patent number: 12056779Abstract: The present invention provides a reception system, a reception method, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program that are capable of identifying a guest. The reception system (100) includes a face photo information check unit (1), and a reception terminal (2). When the reception terminal (2) receives an input indicating an application for a check-in of a guest (GS1), the face photo information check unit (1) checks passport-face-photo-at-check-in-time information scanned from a passport (P1) at the time of check-in, with face-photo-at-check-in-time information through photographing the guest (GS1) at the time of check-in. When the passport-face-photo-at-check-in-time information and the face-photo-at-check-in-time information indicate a same person as a result of checking by the face photo information check unit (1), the reception terminal (2) displays information on a room reserved by the guest (GS1), and issues a card key for the room reserved by the guest (GS1).Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2020Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: NEC Platforms, Ltd.Inventors: Teruoki Matsumoto, Hiroshi Sakamoto, Naorni Kakinaga, Kiyokazu Otsuka
