    Abstract: A system and method to aid in a recruitment process by providing a list of candidates that best match the job requirement. The system includes an explainable machine learning module that applies six layers of filters and profile matching to a set of job applications to shortlist a predefined number of applications. The shortlisted applications can be presented to recruited for logical assessment about the relevancy of each of the shortlisted applications. Based on the self-assessment, the set of applications can again be processed by the explainable machine learning module to shortlist a final list of candidates.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic enrollment and identity verification based upon processing a captured image of a document are disclosed herein. Various embodiments enable, for example, a user to enroll in a particular service by taking a photograph of a particular document (e.g., his driver license) with a mobile device. One or more algorithms can then extract relevant data from the captured image. The extracted data (e.g., the person's name, gender, date of birth, height, weight, etc.) can then be used to automatically populate various fields of an enrollment application, thereby reducing the amount of information that the user has to manually input into his mobile device in order to complete the enrollment process. In some embodiments, a set of internal and/or external checks can be run against the data to ensure that the data is valid, has been read correctly, and is consistent with other data.

    Abstract: A server of media content makes a first transaction available to users that includes a first output specifying an amount of a digital asset to transfer to a second party, and a total of zero or more inputs wherein a total input amount of the digital asset specified in any outputs of any source transactions pointed to by the zero or more inputs is less than a total output amount of the digital asset specified by the one or more outputs. Inputs are received from users of a side channel. Once a target is reached, the first transaction and a second transaction are recorded in a blockchain, wherein the second transaction comprises an input pointing to the first output of the first transaction and an unlocking script meeting a condition that requires the unlocking script to include a media key enabling the users to access the item of media content.

  • Publication number: 20240303646
    Abstract: A method and system may provide a secure credit card payment service which allows a merchant to store credit cards without storing credit card data on merchant servers. The customer, via a web-enabled device, transmits a request to register a credit card and receives from the merchant server, a credit card registration webpage where the customer may provide credit card data and customer data. In response to receiving the credit card data and the customer data, the web-enabled device transmits the credit card data to a token server that stores the credit card data and receives a token from the token server. In response to receiving the token, the web-enabled device transmits the token and the customer data to the merchant server for storage and processing subsequent credit card payment transactions.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a cryptographic token with usage limitations is issued, via a first issuer contract on a first distributed ledger, to a user account. The cryptographic token is transferred from the user account to a first mediation contract. A first transaction that is associated with a transfer of the cryptographic token from the first mediation contract to a second mediation contract on a second distributed ledger, is detected. A second transaction that is associated with a use of the cryptographic token on the second distributed ledger is detected. A request to the first issuer contract on the first distributed ledger is issued to determine whether the second transaction satisfies the usage limitations. A Verification result that indicates that the second transaction satisfies the usage limitations is received. A digital asset is transferred to a seller account on a third distributed ledger based on the received verification result.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a digital transaction between a sender (S) and a recipient (R), wherein the digital transaction is certified by a central bank (B), while preserving the privacy of the transaction (T). In particular the transaction (T) is based on a first sender serial number (SSNi) and a first receiver serial number, both signed by the central bank (B) and dedicated to the transaction. The transaction is in addition based on commitment to a value, which is encrypted with a blind factor (BTx) and involves sender zero-knowledge proof (zKs) and receiver zero-knowledge proof (zKr) so that the central bank (B) has no knowledge of the value of the transaction neither of the identity of the sender and the receiver. The present invention also relates to a system and to a digital currency allowing such a digital transaction.

    Abstract: Aspects described herein may relate to a transaction exchange platform using a streaming data platform (SDP) and microservices to process transactions according to review and approval workflows. The transaction exchange platform may receive transactions from origination sources, which may be added to the SDP as transaction objects. Microservices on the transaction exchange platform may interact with the transaction objects based on configured workflows associated with the transactions. Processing on the transaction exchange platform may facilitate clearing and settlement of transactions. Some aspects may provide for dynamic and flexible reconfiguration of workflows and/or microservices. Other aspects may provide for data snapshots and workflow tracking, allowing for monitoring, quality control, and auditability of transactions on the transaction exchange platform.
