    Abstract: In certain embodiments, an online transaction is verified based on merchant-independent user geolocation. A geolocation of a user associated with the online transaction is obtained from a mobile device of the user by a transaction verifying entity separate and independent from a merchant entity with which the online transaction is initiated. A server associated with the transaction verifying entity determines a proximity of the geolocation of the user to a delivery address for verifying the online transaction. The server generates a verification message including an approval message based on the proximity of the geolocation to the delivery address being within a specified threshold. The server generates a verification message including a rejection message based on the proximity of the geolocation to a delivery address exceeding the specified threshold. The server sends the verification message to another server associated with the merchant entity to carry out the online transaction accordingly.

  • Patent number: 11521211
    Abstract: A method and system for detecting fraudulent network events in a payment card network by incorporating breach velocities into fraud scoring models are provided. A potential compromise event is detected, and payment cards that transacted at a compromised entity associated with the potential compromise event are identified. Subsequent transaction activity for the payment cards is reviewed, and a data structure for the payment cards are generated. The data structure sorts subsequent transaction activity into fraud score range stripes. The data structure is parsed over a plurality of time periods, and at least one cumulative metric is calculated for each of the time periods in each fraud score range stripe. A plurality of ratio striping values are determined, and a set of feature inputs is generated using the ratio striping values. The feature inputs are applied to a scoring model used to score future real-time transactions initiated using the payment cards.

  • Patent number: 11521192
    Abstract: A settlement system with higher security which replaces a settlement system using credit cards is provided. The settlement system has a user terminal, a settlement device, and a settlement terminal. First, a user ID, a password, and upper limit amount information identifying an amount are inputted in a user terminal 100 (S912), and sent to the settlement device (S913). The settlement device performs credit determination (S922), generates temporary permission information if credit is possible (S923), and sends the temporary permission information to the user terminal (S924). The user terminal generates a one-time password (S915). The one-time password is inputted to the settlement terminal (S931). If the one-time password sent from the settlement terminal to the settlement device is identical to the one-time password created in the settlement device, the settlement device allows a user's payment (S928).

  • Patent number: 11516529
    Abstract: A system includes a user interface for allowing a user to select a data stream to be played, a receiver for receiving the data stream to be played and a transmitter for transmitting the received data stream to a device that is capable of playing the stream. The system includes a first and a second device, which are separate from one another. The first device, called a receiving device, integrates the receiver and the transmitter. The second device, called a control device, integrates the user interface and, following the selection, by a user, of a stream to be played and preview on the control device, transmits to the first device a command for playing the selected stream, the command containing data for locating the selected stream.

  • Patent number: 11514422
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11514444
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11501309
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11501288
    Abstract: 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.
