Patent number: 11514422Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for sorted parallel processing of large dataset to provide quicker search results to a user. An embodiment operates by receiving a search request containing a first attribute from a user, determining an intermediate result set of items in a database based on the search request, and sorting the items based on a second attribute of the items. The embodiment further operates by dividing the sorted items into a plurality of batches with sequential IDs, determining a result corresponding to the first attribute for each item in parallel, creating a sequentially-ordered list of determined results, identifying a subset of determined results based on a comparison between the determined results and a target result, determining a final result set of items, and returning at least a portion of the final result set of items to the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2021Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Matthew L.

Patent number: 11514444Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide automatic expense categorization of transactions or expenditures based on a machine learning (ML) model trained using anonymized transactional data for expenditures that are stored in a public blockchain. The anonymized transactional data for the expenditure and the expense category, may be distributed throughout the blockchain network and recorded in the blockchain. In some implementations, an expenditure may be submitted to the blockchain network for expense categorization. The transactional data for the expenditure may be anonymized to remove confidential and personal identifying information (PII) before it is distributed throughout the blockchain network. Each participating node of the blockchain network may utilize the ML model to identify an expense category for the expenditure. The participating nodes may provide a consensus mechanism in order to arrive at a shared understanding of how to categorize the expenditure.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2020Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Lin Ni Lisa Cheng, John Fields

Patent number: 11507931Abstract: In one embodiment, a method enrolling, by a payment service system and in a data store maintained by the payment service system, a payment service account associated with a payee for a direct payout program for transactions associated with a transaction facilitation service between a plurality of payers and the payee in response to requests associated with the transaction facilitation service. The method includes receiving a transaction request for a payment associated with a transaction between a payer and the payee. The method includes identifying a financial account of the payee based on retrieving an association of the payment service account with the payee identifier and the financial account. The method includes causing a transfer of a first amount of funds to the financial account and a second amount to the transaction facilitation service. The first amount of funds and the second amount of funds correspond to the transaction amount.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: BLOCK, INC.Inventors: Robert Andersen, Brian Grassadonia

Patent number: 11501309Abstract: Processing transaction requests may be considered a computationally expensive operation for a computing system such as an e-commerce platform. An aspect of the present disclosure relates to systems and methods to reduce the number of transaction requests that are received and/or processed by a computing system. This may reduce demand on the computing system's resources and potentially improve the responsiveness of the computing system. In some embodiments, a set of users is selected based on at least one defined condition for a particular transaction request. Origination of the particular transaction request on behalf of users excluded from the set of users is prevented in order to reduce the number of the particular transaction requests that are received and/or processed by a corresponding computing system.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2021Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: SHOPIFY INC.Inventor: Christian Mackie

Patent number: 11501288Abstract: Embodiments are directed to issuing tokens for identifiers associated with a resource provider account specific to the resource provider issuing the account. A resource provider processor system interfaces with a resource provider computer to validate account eligibility upon receiving a token request message. If the account is eligible for token generation, the resource provider processor system generates a universal identifier corresponding to the identifier associated with the resource provider account and returns the universal identifier to the token requestor. The token requestor may send a token request message to a token issuer for obtaining a token using the universal identifier. Accordingly, the universal account identifier can be used to provision a token into a digital wallet. Transactions using the token may be processed with the resource provider processor system acting as an account issuer.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2016Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: VISA INTERNATIONAL SERVICE ASSOCIATIONInventors: Mary Taylor, Laura A.
