Patent number: 12169834Abstract: A system for extending the utility of blockchain environments when such environments become too large or complex, is disclosed. The system systematically creates a second generation, or child blockchain that can retain machine-readable links to the parent blockchain which, in turn, can be archived and referenced, when necessary, for historical reference. Accordingly, the system serves to reduce the size of the working blockchain thereby making it easier to store the blockchain, and further serves to increase the speed of queries to interrogate the current state of the blockchain. By reducing the size of the working blockchain, the present invention seeks to extend the utility of large blockchains by segregating and archiving historical or older transactions recorded in the blockchain. The system and process further include methodologies to create links between the current blockchain and the archived sections of the blockchain to ensure the integrity of the full historical ledger.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2022Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Inventor: Jeff Stollman

Patent number: 12169841Abstract: A contactless card reader comprises a contactless card reader front-end coupled to a processor. A communications module is coupled to the processor and a set of sensors is coupled to the processor. The set of sensors determines parameters related to the location, orientation and motion of the card reader. The processor receives the parameters from the set of sensors and utilizes the parameters and scenario configuration data to evaluate a rule. The result of the evaluation of the rule results in a limitation on the operation of the card reader. The communications module is configured to intermittently receive the scenario configuration data from external sources.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2021Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: Stripe, Inc.Inventors: Hwai Sian Tsai, Chi Wah Lo

Patent number: 12169843Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods capable of establishing a communication session between a user and an analyst. The contents of the communication session are analyzed to make recommendations of goods and services to the user. Otherwise, the communication session may be redirected from one channel, for example, chatting to another channel, for example, voice call, to another analyst. The user's information and the communication session details are retained, and provided to another analyst before the user is redirected. Such systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products use real-time machine learning scoring algorithm to determine which analyst the users should be transferred to, and thereby saving a lot of time for both the analysts and the users, and significantly reduce misroutes by eliminating human errors.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2022Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Yuibi Fujimoto, Michael James Waldmeier, Gage Robert Lynch

Patent number: 12169845Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented processes that assess initiated data exchanges in real-time based on structured messaging data. In some examples, an apparatus may receive a message associated with an exchange of data involving a first counterparty and a second counterparty and characterizing a real-time payment requested from the second counterparty by the first counterparty. The apparatus may determine a first identifier of the first counterparty based on elements of the message data disposed within corresponding message fields, and transmit notification data to a device operable by the second counterparty, which may present portions of the notification data within a digital interface. The apparatus may receive review data indicative of a review associated with the data exchange from the device, and store the first identifier and the review data in a data repository.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2021Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: Christopher Mark Jones, Barry Wayne Baird, Jr., Claude Bernell Lawrence, Jr., Jonathan Joseph Prendergast

Patent number: 12169847Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, systems, and/or apparatuses are provided for providing offer and insight generation functions. User input requesting an offer or insight may be received and an image of a photographic identification of a user may be requested. The image of the photographic identification may be captured and stored. A self-captured image of the user may be captured (e.g., via an image capture device of the computing device) and compared to an image of a user from the photographic identification. Responsive to determining that the images match, displaying an instruction to capture a vehicle identification number. The vehicle identification number may be captured. Data, including location data, may be extracted and an archive including the extracted data may be generated and the data may be transmitted to an entity computing system for processing. The entity computing system may evaluate the data and generate one or more insights and/or outputs.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2022Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Sunil Chintakindi, Timothy W.

Patent number: 12169848Abstract: Systems and methods of predicting future interactions with devices. For example, the system may receive search criteria and determine one or more values, including an interaction value of the search criteria and a cost per views value of the search criteria. When the cost per views value exceeds a threshold value, the system may increase a dynamic cashback amount associated with the search criteria and transmit an electronic communication that includes the dynamic cashback amount, a predetermined period of time to initiate a transaction for the product, and an identifier associated with the product.

Patent number: 12169850Abstract: A system and method for enhancing e-commerce product listings is disclosed, performed on a server. The method involves importing listing data through Application Programming Interface (API) connections and analyzing this data to calculate a multimodal vector embedding. A quality score is estimated based on the embedding and real-time market data metrics. The method generates content elements, including product images, textual descriptions, and infographics, by applying a controlled generation algorithm through a text-to-image diffusion model. This model integrates loss-guidance and attention injection mechanisms to produce a controlled layout of the product images, producing content that is visually appealing and market-relevant. The resulting content elements are stored in the server's data storage, ready for e-commerce display.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2024Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: ECOMTENT INC.Inventors: Timur Luguev, Zakaria Patel, Hantang Li, Max Sinclair

Patent number: 12169851Abstract: A system is provided for providing action inducers to target consumer entities. The system accesses transactions relating to actions involving a consumer entity and a provider entity. The system generates training data based on the transactions. The training data includes a feature vector for each consumer entity that includes values for features derived from the transactions involving that consumer entity and a provider entity. Each feature vector is labeled with an outcome that indicates whether a previously provided action inducer induced the consumer entity to take an action. The system trains a classifier based on the training data, generates a target feature vector for a target consumer entity, applies the classifier to the target feature vector to generate a predicted outcome for the target action inducer, and when the predicted outcome satisfies an inducement criterion, provides the target action inducer to the target consumer entity.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2019Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: COIN MUTUAL FUNDS, LLC.Inventor: Kristopher John Frutschy
