Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for persistent login. Such persistent login may be based on linking user identity across accounts of different entities to allow each entity to maintain control over their respective sets of user data, while providing a streamlined user experience that avoids much of the repetitive need to login to different services with different login credentials (e.g., during periods of heavy use). Such persistent login may utilize a set of tokens issued and exchanged between devices of the partnering entities. Such tokens may include an access token, refresh token, and identity token. When a user associated with a first entity requests access to information secured by a second entity, such request may be associated with the access token. If the access token is determined to be expired, the refresh token may be used to refresh the access token, which may also trigger issuance of a new refresh token. The refreshed access token may be used in conjunction with the identity token to access the requested information secured by the second entity.

Abstract

A system determines an amount of time available for responding to a request regarding eligibility for a client account for a modification based on a confidence grade for the client. The system transmits a first query and a second query. The system uses trained machine learning model(s) to determine respective estimated receipt times of first and second datasets responsive to the first and second queries, and to determine respective importance levels of the first and second datasets to determining the confidence grade. The system generates a preliminary confidence grade based on the first dataset, and delays generation of the confidence grade until the second dataset is received based on the estimated receipt times and importance levels. The system updates the preliminary confidence grade using the second dataset to generate the confidence grade, determines the eligibility determination, and updates the training of the machine learning models.

Abstract

A system is provided for generating dynamic objects in response to detected intent signals. The system receives a request to generate a dynamic object through an object placement implemented through a network object and in response to an intent signal. The request indicates a resource amount allocated for the request. The system identifies other requests and determines whether the resource amount is greater than other resource amounts associated with the other requests. If so, the system obtains a set of assets corresponding to the dynamic object and, in response to detecting the intent signal in real-time, uses the assets to generate the dynamic object through the object placement.

Abstract

A data classification system obtains a data set including first data associated with a first characteristic and second data associated with a second characteristic. In response to obtaining the data set, the system uses a classification model to generate a classification by classifying the first data into majority data and the second data into minority data. From the classification and using the classification model, the system determines a loss. The system modifies the classification model based on this loss to generate an updated classification model. The system uses the updated classification model to re-classify a subset of the first data into the minority data and a subset of the second data into the majority data.

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for persistent login. Such persistent login may be based on linking user identity across accounts of different entities to allow each entity to maintain control over their respective sets of user data, while providing a streamlined user experience that avoids much of the repetitive need to login to different services with different login credentials (e.g., during periods of heavy use). Such persistent login may utilize a set of tokens issued and exchanged between devices of the partnering entities. Such tokens may include an access token, refresh token, and identity token. When a user associated with a first entity requests access to information secured by a second entity, such request may be associated with the access token. If the access token is determined to be expired, the refresh token may be used to refresh the access token, which may also trigger issuance of a new refresh token. The refreshed access token may be used in conjunction with the identity token to access the requested information secured by the second entity.

Abstract

A data management system identifies data stores that store transaction datasets associated with transactions. The data stores are configured based on respective parameters, and continue to receive additional transaction data over time. The system generates scripts based on the data stores' parameters and based on a filtering scheme. The system uses the scripts to extract subsets of the transaction datasets according to the filtering scheme in real-time as the data stores continue to receive additional transaction data. The system merges the extracted subsets of the transaction datasets into an output dataset according to an output scheme, and analyzes the output dataset, all in real-time as the data stores continue to receive the additional transaction data and the system continues to merge the extracted subsets. By analyzing the output dataset, the system recognizes a pattern in the output dataset. The system outputs an alert indicative of the recognized pattern.

Abstract

Provided are systems, methods, and computer-program products for a proxy network that can determine, for a set of objects, an initial differential, where the initial differential is determined using a rules data store of a host network. The proxy network can further determine a supplemental differential for the set of objects. The proxy network can further determine a final differential that is the sum of the initial differential and the supplemental differential. The proxy network can further determine a final sum for the set of objects that is the object value less the final differential. The proxy network can further generate an outbound data packet that includes values corresponding to the set of objects and the final sum. When the host network receives the outbound data packet, the host network can modify an object data store using the values corresponding to the set of objects and the final sum.

Abstract

Examples describe data security for communication systems. One example includes validating a merchant system using merchant data and generating a set of merchant credentials. The set of merchant credentials is then used in authentication to facilitate a secure transaction, which involves automatically generating transaction data with a tokenized client account number associated with the secure transaction. A refund request associated with the secure transaction is received with the set of merchant credentials that are used for automatically authenticating the merchant system. The example then involves accessing a database that includes the transaction data for automatically facilitating settlement of a refund payment using the authenticated merchant system and the transaction data.

Examples described herein include systems, methods, instructions, and other implementations for data security with integrated installment payment systems. In one example, account security system receives a checkout communication that includes data describing a validated checkout system of a merchant system. A client token is transmitted in response to an authentication that the checkout communication is from the validated checkout system, and an account communication including the client token and secure client information is received from a client device. An installment payment communication associated with the secure transaction is received from a system other than a merchant system involved in the transaction. The secure transaction is then facilitated following receipt of the installment payment communication.

Abstract

A data management system identifies data stores that store transaction datasets associated with transactions. The data stores are configured based on respective parameters, and continue to receive additional transaction data over time. The system generates scripts based on the data stores' parameters and based on a filtering scheme. The system uses the scripts to extract subsets of the transaction datasets according to the filtering scheme in real-time as the data stores continue to receive additional transaction data. The system merges the extracted subsets of the transaction datasets into an output dataset according to an output scheme, and analyzes the output dataset, all in real-time as the data stores continue to receive the additional transaction data and the system continues to merge the extracted subsets. By analyzing the output dataset, the system recognizes a pattern in the output dataset. The system outputs an alert indicative of the recognized pattern.

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for persistent login. Such persistent login may be based on linking user identity across accounts of different entities to allow each entity to maintain control over their respective sets of user data, while providing a streamlined user experience that avoids much of the repetitive need to login to different services with different login credentials (e.g., during periods of heavy use). Such persistent login may utilize a set of tokens issued and exchanged between devices of the partnering entities. Such tokens may include an access token, refresh token, and identity token. When a user associated with a first entity requests access to information secured by a second entity, such request may be associated with the access token. If the access token is determined to be expired, the refresh token may be used to refresh the access token, which may also trigger issuance of a new refresh token. The refreshed access token may be used in conjunction with the identity token to access the requested information secured by the second entity.

Abstract

An application executed on a user device receives a request to initiate a transaction with an entity associated with a device implemented at a point-of-sale. The application detects that the user device is proximate to the device and detects an audial tone that encodes information corresponding to an entity associated with the device. The application transmits a request to transfer a payment to the entity, wherein the request includes the information and a payment amount for the payment. When the request is received by a payment processing system, the payment processing system transfers the payment to the entity and provides a confirmation for the payment. The application broadcasts a confirmation audial tone that encodes the confirmation. When the confirmation audial tone is received at the device, the device demodulates the confirmation audial tone to provide the confirmation to the entity.

Abstract

A system determines an amount of time available for responding to a request regarding eligibility for a client account for a modification based on a confidence grade for the client. The system transmits a first query and a second query. The system uses trained machine learning model(s) to determine respective estimated receipt times of first and second datasets responsive to the first and second queries, and to determine respective importance levels of the first and second datasets to determining the confidence grade. The system generates a preliminary confidence grade based on the first dataset, and delays generation of the confidence grade until the second dataset is received based on the estimated receipt times and importance levels. The system updates the preliminary confidence grade using the second dataset to generate the confidence grade, determines the eligibility determination, and updates the training of the machine learning models.

Abstract

A transaction classification system obtains a data set including first data associated with a first characteristic and second data associated with a second characteristic. In response to obtaining the data set, the system uses a classification model to generate a classification by classifying the first data into majority data and the second data into minority data. From the classification and using the classification model, the system determines a cost. The system modifies the classification model based on this cost to generate an updated classification model. The system uses the updated classification model to re-classify a subset of the first data into the minority data and a subset of the second data into the majority data.

Abstract

Provided are systems, methods, and computer-program products for a proxy network that can determine, for a set of objects, an initial differential, where the initial differential is determined using a rules data store of a host network. The proxy network can further determine a supplemental differential for the set of objects. The proxy network can further determine a final differential that is the sum of the initial differential and the supplemental differential. The proxy network can further determine a final sum for the set of objects that is the object value less the final differential. The proxy network can further generate an outbound data packet that includes values corresponding to the set of objects and the final sum. When the host network receives the outbound data packet, the host network can modify an object data store using the values corresponding to the set of objects and the final sum.
