    摘要: A fraud detection model is used by a computer system to evaluate whether to grant a request to access a secure electronic resource. Before granting the request, the computer system evaluates the request using a multi-partite graph model generated using a plurality of previous requests. The multi-partite graph model includes at least a first set of nodes for sender accounts, a second set of nodes for recipient accounts, and a third set of nodes.

    摘要: A payment service provider device determines that a first geolocation of a user device is within a predetermined proximity to a second geolocation associated with a merchant Point-Of-Sale (POS) device that is coupled to a network and provides, via the network to the merchant POS device, a communication that includes a user identifier associated with a user of the user device, such that the communication causes the user identifier to be displayed on a display device associated with the merchant POS device and the user is checked-in at a merchant location associated with the merchant POS and the second geolocation. The payment service provider device receives, via the network, a payment request that is associated with the user identifier, and then completes the payment request using a user account associated with the user identifier.

    摘要: Systems and methods for managing concurrent secure elements on a mobile device to coordinate with an application or “app” running on the mobile device and an appropriate communications protocol for conducting transactions using the mobile device include: informing, by the processor, the reader device of a preferred app and a communication protocol usable by the preferred app; receiving, by the processor, information about which apps and communication protocols are supported by a reader for processing a transaction; locating, by the processor, a secure element supporting an app and a communication protocol supported by the reader; channeling the communication protocol for the specific configuration of the app and the supporting secure element; activating the secure element that supports the app; and processing, with the activated secure element, using the supported app and communication channel, the transaction with the reader.

    摘要: Systems/techniques for facilitating proxy objects for tracking processing of electronic coupon codes are provided. In various embodiments, a system can determine that a browser is performing a checkout on a frontend website. In various aspects, the system can cause the frontend website to instruct the web browser to transmit a validation request to a backend server, wherein the validation request identifies a coupon code and requests that the backend server determine whether the coupon code is applicable to the checkout. In various instances, the system can cause the web browser to append a proxy object to the validation request, wherein the proxy object fetches, during execution of the validation request by the backend server, an execution status of the validation request. In various cases, the system can receive, from the proxy object, the execution status and can initiate one or more electronic actions based on the execution status.

    摘要: Methods and systems are presented for providing automated online chat assistance in an online chat session. One or more utterances transmitted from a user device of a user via the online chat session are obtained. The one or more utterances are provided to a first prediction model to predict an intent of a user. If it is determined that the first prediction model is unable to predict the intent of the user based on the one or more utterances, the one or more utterances are provided to a second prediction model. After predicting the intent of the user by the second prediction model, the intent is used by a chat robot to provide a dialogue with the user via the online chat session. The one or more utterances and the predicted intent are used to re-train the first prediction model.

    摘要: There are provided systems and methods for reducing computing calls for webpage load times and resources to reduce power usage and/or carbon footprints caused by repetitive navigations. A service provider, such as an online transaction processor, may provide computing services to users, which require computing devices of the users to interact with the service provider and load data on the computing devices, including webpages and application interfaces. Each of data loading event may have a cost, where repeating events may lead to unnecessary power usage, carbon emissions and/or a carbon footprint. A graph algorithmic process may utilize state diagrams of processing flows for data loading events with attributes for each data loading event to identify problematic repeated events. Once the problematic events are identified, the service provider may identify corrective actions to avoid or reduce the repetitive events, such as by merging data into one or more events.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed relating to methods that include preprocessing, by a computer system, records of a database to create one or more token sets for a given record. The created token sets may correspond to ones of a plurality of search string functions, and may include token sets that include a plurality of possible substrings located within data strings of a corresponding database record. The methods may further include receiving a query for a search of the database. The query may include at least one of the plurality of search string functions. The method may also include performing the search by traversing, using at least a portion of the records, at least one token set corresponding to the included search string functions, as well as returning results for the search based on the query and the traversing.

    摘要: A user device is associated with a dynamic trust score that may be updated as needed, where the trust score and the updates are based on various activities and information associated with the mobile device. The trust score is based on both parameters of the device, such as device type, registered device location, device phone number, device ID, the last time the device has been accessed, etc. and activities the device engages in, such as amount of transactions, dollar amount of transactions, amount of denied requests, amount of approved requests, location of requests, etc. Based on a transaction request from the user device, the trust score and a network reputation score is used to determine an overall trust/fraud score associated with the transaction request.
