Abstract: In a system for verifying transactions, when a user with a portable communication device nears a resource provider location, the portable communication device provides an indication to a transaction processing system of its proximity to the location. The portable communication device then provides a universally unique identifier (UUID) of a base station of the resource provider to the transaction processing system, which generates a hash using the UUID and a primary account number (PAN) of a portable transaction device that is associated with the portable communication device. When the user conducts a transaction with the portable transaction device at the provider, the provider generates a separate hash from the UUID and the PAN and sends the hash to the transaction processing system, A match between the hashes is taken into account as a positive indicator that the transaction is not fraudulent and the resource provider is complying with the system.

When the busyness score for the ATM does not exceed the busyness score threshold, the system may cause the ATM to present, via a first graphical user interface, a default ATM experience. When the busyness score for the ATM exceeds the busyness score threshold, the system may cause the ATM to present via, a second graphical user interface, a busy ATM experience.

Abstract: Incoming data requests from the perspective of the data lake, are gathered and analyzed to determine the usage of the data. Using the perspective of the data lake avoids the technical challenge of analyzing data usage by different computation points, which are at different locations, perform hard-to-track different operations, and are often reachable only through complicated access protocols. Another technical challenge of mapping between an object path and a table path is solved by generating object path datasets and table path datasets at different levels of abstractions. A comparison is performed, iteratively, from a lower level of granularity and the granularity is increased in the progressive steps. Matches from iterations are unionized to generate a final matching data. Observability metrics are generated using final matching data and are used to perform downstream operations such as controlling data table access, moving data tables to cold storage, decommissioning unused pipelines, etc.

Abstract: One issue with many dating applications is that the number of matches can become overwhelming, making it difficult for a user to continue to communicate meaningfully with those individuals with whom they have been matched. According to various techniques described herein, a limit can be placed on the number of active matches (or conversations) for each user, and the user's profile may be temporarily hidden from view of other individuals when this limit has been reached. Such a condition is referred to as “saturation.” Once the user unmatches one or more individuals, so that they are no longer at the maximum, their profile may again be made available and therefore visible to other individuals.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to implement an outlier detection system for text records. In embodiments, the detection system generates a fingerprint for each incoming record so that similar records map to similar fingerprints. Each record is assigned to a closest cluster in a set of clusters based computed distances between on the record's fingerprint and respective cluster fingerprints of the clusters. The cluster fingerprint is dynamically updated to maintain respective a representative fingerprint of its member records. When a new record is received that is not sufficiently close to any cluster, a new cluster is added to the set for the new record. In embodiments, the creation of the new cluster triggers an alert that the new record is a potential outlier. Advantageously, the disclosed detection system can be used to detect outliers in records in near real time, without the need to pre-specify outlier characteristics.

Abstract: An implementation of the present specification discloses a method for processing payment in an offline scenario. A collection terminal, when in an offline state, scans an offline code generated by a user terminal in an offline state to obtain offline code information, obtains a payment amount, and saves the offline code information and the payment amount, and if in an online state, uploads the offline code information and the payment amount to a server, so that after receiving the offline code and the payment amount, the server pays a deduction amount from a corresponding payment account based on the offline code information and the payment amount, and thus puts the deduction amount into a payment account corresponding to the collection terminal. As such, the payment function can still be achieved when the user terminal and the collection terminal are in an offline state.

Abstract: As a viewer views and scrolls down a web content page in a browser window of a web browser, ad content appears in predetermined ad placement areas of the web content page. If particular ad content has not been within a viewport of the browser window for a predetermined desired time, the ad content may be detached from the web content page and positioned in a location of the viewport for a desired necessary period of time before the ad content is reattached to the content page at its respective predetermined ad placement area even if that predetermined ad placement area has been scrolled out of the viewport. In such cases, the ad content effectively “lingers” in in the viewport until reattached to the web content page at its respective predetermined ad placement area.
