  • Patent number: 11830015
    Abstract: A processing module may be centralized and coupled to multiple inputs from customers, and behave deterministically, e.g., programmed to depend on state, inputs and outputs. The rapid speed of automated trading systems implementing such a centralized, deterministic module, where all users can access a central limit order object, can quickly result in an object state that does not reflect a true consensus or desirable state. Accordingly the resulting problem is a problem arising in computer systems due in part to the high speeds of computer systems. The solutions disclosed herein are, in one embodiment, implemented as automatic responses and actions by a computing system.

  • Patent number: 11827117
    Abstract: Presented are intelligent charging systems for transferring energy to and from motor vehicles, methods for making/operating such systems, and vehicles with V2V and V2G energy transfer capabilities. A method for operating an intelligent charging system includes a system controller receiving, from a user interface of a user, a request to schedule a transfer of electricity to the user. The system controller broadcasts to a crowdsourced set of service providers a solicitation for energy transfer bids for completing the user's transfer request. After receiving multiple bid submissions for completing the transfer request from multiple service providers, the system controller selects an optimized one of the bid submissions using a multi-criteria selection strategy. The multi-criteria selection strategy includes a joint utility maximization function and/or a trade-off Pareto solution.

    Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for machine learning. A check is performed on a level of available bidding currency for bidding a training sample that is used to train a model via machine learning. A bid in an amount within the available bidding currency is sent, to a source of the training sample, for the training sample. The training sample is received from the source when the bid is successful. A prediction is then generated in accordance with the training sample based on one or more parameters associated with the model and is sent to the source.

Payment parameters are determined based on actual service rendered corresponding to updated service parameters upon completion of the cleaning service. The specialist is tracked on real-time basis all the time to determine the time spent on the job. Transactions are completed automatically and feedback options are provided on completion of the transactions.

  • Patent number: 11797666
    Abstract: A Secure Environment Public Register (SEPR) provides a method and system that allows precious metals in the shape of ban(s) or units to be certified, specially numbered to provide exact linkage to an owner, allow secure movement of precious metals between secure facilities, and though Blockchain allow secure transfer of ownership between individuals and organizations. The SEPR allows gold and other precious metals to be easily held and traded in commerce with all the advantages of holding precious metals. The SEPR system allows exact audits of the metal bars on hand and avoids over-selling units since each bar is serialized and ownership is documented in a public register.

  • Patent number: 11799854
    Abstract: Method and systems described herein may provide multifactor mutual authentication. A first server may provide a first party and a second party with at least two authentication components in order for the first party to authenticate the identity of the second party, and vice versa. The first authentication component may include a color-based authentication component, while the second authentication component may include a code-based authentication component. Both factors need to be validated in order for the authentication to be successful. The color-based authentication component, in combination with the code-based authentication component, may improve the speed with which the mutual authentication is performed.

  • Patent number: 11798040
    Abstract: The demand-side platform (DSP) is a technological ingredient that fits into the larger real-time-bidding (RTB) ecosystem. DSPs enable advertisers to purchase ad impressions from a wide range of ad slots, generally via a second-price auction mechanism. In this aspect, predicting the auction winning price notably enhances the decision for placing the right bid value to win the auction and helps with the advertiser's campaign planning and traffic reallocation between campaigns. This is a difficult task because the observed winning price distribution is biased due to censorship; the DSP only observes the win price in the case of winning the auction. For losing bids, the win price remains censored. In this invention, we generalize the winning price model to incorporate a gradient boosting framework adapted to learn from both observed and censored data. This yields a boost in predictive performance in comparison to classic linear censored regression.

  • Patent number: 11790032
    Abstract: In an approach, a processor obtains a target base strategy for selecting actions of a target agent. A processor obtains an adversarial base strategy for selecting adversarial actions of an adversarial agent. A processor calculates, for each candidate action among a plurality of candidate actions of the target agent, a risk measure of the candidate action based on the adversarial base strategy and a payoff to the target agent in a case where the target agent takes the candidate action and the adversarial agent takes an adversarial action based on the adversarial base strategy. A processor generates a target strategy by adjusting the target base strategy based on the risk measure for each candidate action.

  • Patent number: 11790360
    Abstract: A simulation method implemented at least in part at a node of a blockchain network enables detection of suspected malicious behaviour. When a purchase of a token of interest by a user is detected, information about other queued transactions awaiting committal to the blockchain is retrieved, and a batch of probing transactions is constructed using the information about the queued transactions. The batch includes a probing transaction representing a sale of the token by the user. At the node, the state of the blockchain is overridden so that the user's wallet and other wallets appear to contain bytecode executable to aggregate multiple transactions into a single call, and the batch of transactions is thus executed in a single call. The results are evaluated to determine whether the sale of the token by the user was successful. If the evaluation is not successful, remedial action may be taken.
