  • Patent number: 11972422
    Abstract: The invention relates to the fields of tokenisation, blockchain and smart contract technologies. It provides a technical arrangement which simplifies the automated management of contracts. The invention comprises a method and system which use a computer-based repository for storage of the contract. The contract is then represented by a transaction on the blockchain. Metadata within the transaction's script includes a hash of the contract and a means of identifying its location within the repository. The transaction also includes an unspent output (UTXO) which indicates its status as an open (ie not terminated) contract. The contract is terminated by spending the output at a later point in time, for example, using nLockTime+CheckLockTimeVerify (CLTV). By combining this concept with other techniques and computing components, the invention can provide a powerful mechanism for implementing various tasks such as renewing or rolling over the contract, or dividing it into sub-contracts or conditions.

  • Patent number: 11763260
    Abstract: Bridging different standards or requirements documents originating from different participants in a drilling project to unify the standards or requirements provides more efficiencies and cost savings for the drilling project. The standards or requirements may be automatically analyzed to determine which standards or requirements from the participants are to be utilized for a given drilling project to generate a common bridged document of requirements and standards thereby aiding to reduce costs and establish a common understanding of the requirements and standards that are to be met or implemented during the drilling project by all participants. The automatic process may select those standards or requirements, or portions thereof that are more stringent.

  • Patent number: 11765032
    Abstract: A method for Governance, Risk, Compliance (GRC) and security compliance in a cloud computing environment is provided. The method includes maintaining a cloud resource to be in a transient state that keeps the cloud resource from being visible to other cloud resources for a configured rule driven duration during which validations comprising the GRC and security compliance are applied to the cloud resource. The method further includes provisioning the cloud resource responsive to the cloud resource meeting a time-in-transient-state requirement and passing the GRC and security compliance. The maintaining step includes reusing reactive validations for further GRC and security compliance in a resource lifecycle leveraging Application Programming Interface (API) based lifecycle events during the transient state, and deriving a next set of configurable actions for provisioned resources by providing hooks to a provisioning service to get a compliance posture for the cloud resource in the transient state.

  • Patent number: 11762824
    Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for determining a confidence factor for a sensitive type. The method includes applying a set of matching procedures to cells in a structured data set, the structured data set comprising columns and/or rows. The method also includes counting hit counts for the cells, the hit counts corresponding to successful matches. The method also includes counting null counts for the cells, the null counts corresponding to cells having null or invalid values. The method also includes counting mishit counts for the cells, the mishit counts corresponding to cells that are not null and do not result in a match. The method also includes calculating the confidence factor based on the hit counts, the null counts, and the mishit counts, the confidence factor providing an effective probability that cells in the structured data set is of the sensitive type.

  • Patent number: 11756044
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product efficiently verify a transaction, such as an order, in accordance with a multi-stage verification process. In a method, data is extracted from an order submitted pursuant to a program having a plurality of verification qualifications. The method performs a first set of verification checks and, in an instance in which the first set of verification checks is satisfied, the method modifies the order to include a first indication of satisfaction of the first set of verification checks. The method also extracts data from a claim that is based upon the order. The claim includes the first indication that the first set of verification checks was satisfied. The method also performs a second set of verification checks based upon the data extracted from the claim and, in an instance in which the second set of verification checks is satisfied, the method submits the claim via an adjudication network for adjudication.

  • Patent number: 11741467
    Abstract: Systems and methods for validation of transaction policy compliance are provided. Code is implemented, including a transaction policy compliance check, in a form of a trusted application to be executed in a trusted execution environment (TEE). A secret is attested and provisioned to a trusted application instance in the TEE. The trusted application instance is executed on a client transaction request to generate a policy compliance result. A transaction object is generated, including the policy compliance result and a proof of the execution. The transaction object is proposed to a distributed ledger system. The policy compliance result and a proof of the execution during transaction validation in the distributed ledger system is verified.

  • Patent number: 11741409
    Abstract: A compliance management system captures an interaction between an enterprise entity and enterprise data subject to a compliance regulation. The compliance management system analyzes the interaction to determine whether the interaction is non-compliant with one or more sections of the compliance regulation and executes a remediation workflow corresponding to each section of the compliance regulation for which the interaction is deemed non-compliant. The compliance management system monitors the remediation workflow to update a compliance status for the corresponding section of the compliance regulation and generates a compliance report listing the sections of the compliance regulation and the compliance status of each section.

  • Patent number: 11729353
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for providing notifications about events that occur during an online meeting. For instance, a system may establish an online meeting, such as a video conferencing meeting, for users. While in the meeting, a first user may view video of a second user and determine that the second user is experiencing an emergency event. As such, a user device of the first user may receive an input indicating that the emergency event is occurring with the second user. The system may receive the indication from the user device and verify that the emergency event is occurring. Additionally, the system may then send a notification to emergency personnel that indicates at least that the emergency event is occurring and a location of the second user. Furthermore, the system may send notification(s) to contact(s) associated with the second user that indicate at least that the emergency event is occurring.
