International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707610, 707827, 707696, 707741, 707609, 707769, 707723, 707687, 707693

Abstract:

Embodiments of a distributed data management system include a platform comprising a processor coupled to databases. A grid including agents is coupled to the platform, and each agent is an agent of the platform independently running on a client device. The agents generate and provide to the platform metadata that corresponds to the content of memory accessible by the client devices corresponding to the agents. The agents generate the metadata by hashing fragments of the content. The platform uses the metadata instead of the content to generate and assign to the agents tasks including tasks controlling at least one of storing, transferring and processing of the content. A task is a processing operation performed on content accessible by the agent responsible for the task.

International Classification:

G06Q 20/40

Abstract:

Artificial intelligence-driven data exchange systems and methods are disclosed herein. A method can include verifying when a merchant or brand is a participating member in an exchange ecosystem and the merchant or brand in good standing, determining if a member has sufficient exchange currency in a member account to complete a transaction, determining if the member has linked a credit or debit card to their member account, and approving the transaction based on an exchange score for the member and the credit or debit card.

International Classification:

G06Q 20/40
G06Q 20/20

Abstract:

Systems and methods for verifying and enabling cross-entity and split exchange for fraud protection are disclosed. Some embodiments may include: receiving, from a Point of Sale (POS) device at a server device, associated member card to Point of Sale data resulting from an associated member card being submitted to the Point of Sale (POS) device for a merchandise or service transaction, the associated member card to a Point of Sale data comprising meta data, card member information, merchant information, purchase information, and location data of the merchandise or service transaction, verifying, using the server device, the location data of the merchandise or service transaction being within permitted locations thereby preventing fraud by blocking transactions at unverified locations, determining, using the server device. Moreover, systems enabling cross-entity and split exchange for fraud protection are disclosed.

Inventors:

- Sunnyvale CA, US
George E. Northup - Redwood City CA, US

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02
G06F 21/62

Abstract:

Permissions engine and methods for managing cybersecurity and privacy compliance and obligations are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving brand information from brands, the brand information identifying consumer data that each of the brands is interested in receiving. The method includes receiving consumer permissions for the consumer data from a consumer, the consumer permissions comprising what portions of the consumer data are to be shared with the brands, on a brand-by-brand basis. The method includes receiving the consumer data, and determining when the consumer permissions and the brand information coincide. The method can also include sharing the consumer data with the brands when the consumer permissions and the brand information coincide, and providing the consumer with a reward in exchange for sharing the consumer data.

Abstract:

Data management systems and methods include a cloud-based platform coupled to a system of agents or folders hosted on client devices. The platform does not store actual data but instead makes use of metadata provided by the agents to track a location of all data in the system and manage the distributed storage, movement and processing of the actual data among the agents. In so doing, the platform pools networked storage into “virtual clusters” using local storage at the agents. The agents collectively monitor, store, and transfer or move data, and perform data processing operations as directed by the platform, as described in detail herein. The agents include agents hosted on or coupled to processor-based devices, agents hosted on devices of a local area network, agents hosted on devices of a wide area network, agents hosted on mobile devices, and agents hosted on cloud-based devices.
