摘要:
Systems, apparatus, and methods for determining incentives based on consumer history. When, how, and to whom incentives are sent can be determined. For example, an incentive can be sent to a consumer to encourage a transaction at a time when the particular consumer is predisposed to initiate the transaction. Also, an incentive for a transaction can be sent to a consumer when that transaction has a high likelihood of leading to other transactions. An incentive can also be sent after a consumer initiates a transaction that is known to not have many subsequent transaction correlated to it.

Systems, apparatus, and methods are provided for efficiently authorizing a transaction initiated by a consumer. An authorization can be generated before the consumer actually initiates the transaction. For example, a future transaction can be predicted, and an authorization can be generated for the predicted transaction. In this manner, the authorization can be ready and quickly used when the consumer does initiate the transaction. Previous transactions made by the consumer can be used to predict when the future transaction is likely. In various examples, the authorization can be sent to a specific merchant or to the consumer for use when the consumer initiates the predicted transaction, or saved by an authorization server for use in response to an authorization request from the merchant.

Systems, apparatus, and methods for authorizing a transaction initiated by a consumer are provided. A likelihood function can approximate a pattern of previous transactions and provide a measure of how likely it is for a transaction to occur as a function of time. The time of a current transaction can be used to determine a corresponding likelihood value of a likelihood function associated with the transaction. The likelihood value can then be used to determine a score for authorizing the transaction. As the likelihood corresponds to a particular time of a pattern, the score can be tailored to the current transaction and achieve greater accuracy.

Methods, apparatus, and systems are provided for tracking and analyzing data of consumer activity. The tracked data can be organized (e.g. as stored in cache, RAM, hard drives) in certain types of tables, where the tables can be associated with certain tags (keys) for efficiently accessing the data. The organization and associations of the data can also provide simple mechanisms for manipulating the data to obtain results specifically relevant for a task, such as detection of fraud or prediction of consumer behavior to provide better customer service or new services. For example, the tables may contain counters that store the number of times that two correlated consumer events occur within specific time intervals of each other. Such time data can provide efficient determination of patterns of consumer activity.

Transaction scoring is performed in a distributed manner across a client-server computing system. A computing system for processing a transaction includes a server system and a client system. The server system is arranged to process information associated with the transaction, while the client system communicates with the server system and includes a key engine which is arranged to generate keys. The client system and the server system are arranged to cooperate to make probabilistic determinations associated with the transaction. The client is arranged to send the keys generated by the key engine as a transaction to the server system.

The GRADUATED SECURITY SEASONING APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“GSS”) transform user virtual wallet activity and historical fraud reports via GSS components into transaction authorization triggers generated pursuant to graduated, transaction risk-appropriate, escalated security protocols. In one implementation, the GSS obtains a current transaction request, the request utilizing a user virtual wallet account for payment. The GSS identifies a transaction risk type associated with the request, and calculates a transaction risk level associated with the transaction risk type. Based on the transaction risk level, the GSS selects a security protocol for processing the current transaction request; and provide a security data request in accordance with the selected security protocol. The GSS also generates an offer, for an entity involved in processing the current transaction request, of a financial incentive in exchange for assuming the transaction risk level associated with the transaction risk type; and provides the offer for the entity.

Systems, apparatus, and methods for determining groups of similar consumers and for identifying a trend in consumer behavior are provided. Likelihoods of a transaction being initiated at various times by one consumer can be calculated based on previous transactions of the consumer. The likelihoods for different consumers can be used to determine a group of similar consumers as a demographic. The likelihoods of a transaction being initiated at various times by a consumer of a demographic (or other entity) can be used to forecast trends (such as a demand for a product) and make business decisions, such as for marketing campaigns, inventory levels (e.g. at particular stores or for all stores), pricing, and store locations. Such likelihoods when focused to a particular category of transactions can provide even greater accuracy.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for transforming scoreable transaction data into financial data features are disclosed. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method transforms transaction data into a financial data feature for assessing credit risks. The financial data feature is extracted from the transaction data. The method involves obtaining the transaction data from a data source, and performing a set of operations on the transaction data to transform the transaction data into the financial data feature. The set of operations is selected only from a predefined set of classes of operations which are interrelated by a predefined order of precedence. Each operation in the set of operations is performed in an order based on the predefined order of precedence of a class associated with each operator.
