Patent number: 12045881Abstract: A central database system allows entities to easily manage human resources functions. An entity requests that the central database system executes an employer function on its behalf, and the central database system determines a probability of the entity defaulting before the entity can finalize the employer function with the central database system. The central database system can train and apply a machine-learned model to dynamically determine the default probability for the entity. Based on the default probability, the central database system determines a risk tolerance associated with the employer function and determines whether to process or challenge the employer function based on the risk tolerance and the default probability.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2023Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: ZENPAYROLL, INC.Inventors: Peter Sugimura, Karlotcha Hoa, Benjamin Paik, Sarah Lippitt, Mariam Issa

Patent number: 11995626Abstract: A payment service may receive interaction data from a plurality of entities and analyze interactions to identify one or more interactions eligible for expedited payment. The expedited payment comprises a near real-time transfer of funds to a financial account of an entity. A user interface may be presented via an entity device that includes a representation of the eligible interaction(s). A pop-up window may be overlaid on the user interface that includes a display element selectable to request the expedited payment of at least one of the eligible interactions. Based on receipt of an indication that the entity has selected the display element, an expedited payment may be initiated for the at least one eligible interaction. After initiating the expedited payment in near real-time, a non- expedited payment may be initiated for remaining interaction(s).Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2020Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Kyle Matson, Wesley Kim, Christopher L.
