20100202287 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NETWORK OPTIMIZATION BY MANAGING LOW PRIORITY DATA TRANSFERS - As more internet service providers have more customers with high-speed internet access accounts and these customers access more multi-media rich data (such as videos), the network infrastructure of internet service providers becomes saturated. Thus, internet service providers are facing pressure to upgrade their networks. However, high-speed digital networking equipment is expensive. Thus, internet service providers need to optimize the usage of their existing networks. To optimize the usage of existing networks, a system of delaying certain data requests is proposed. By delaying certain data requests, the various components in a network can shift data transfers from peak traffic times to lower traffic times. One useful application of delayed requests is the case in which a web client requests data ahead of schedule either through predictive methods or through subscriptions for desired data. | 08-12-2010 |

20090222243 | Adaptive Analytics - A computer-implemented method includes receiving a new data record associated with a transaction, and generating, using an adaptive model executed by the computer, a score to represent a likelihood that the transaction is associated with fraud. The adaptive model employs feedback from one or more external data sources, the feedback containing information about one or more previous data records associated with fraud and non-fraud by at least one of the one or more external data sources.

20090222369 | Fraud Detection System For The Faster Payments System - A computer-based fraud detection system stores extracts of the payment and other activity of the payer as well as the payee by efficiently profiling their accounts, and also stores extracts of the overall global or segmented payment activities. This profile information is then used to effectively capture fraudulent activity. The fraud detection system accepts messages from the payment processing system or from the associated financial institution, and depending on the nature of the message will update its databases, or assess fraud risk by computing a score, or both. If a score is computed, the higher the score, the greater the likelihood that the transaction is fraudulent. Said score is based on automatically determined risky values of variables and is also be automatically scaled using self-calibrating analytics using the captured profile information. In a typical scenario the fraud detection system client sets a “threshold score” above which the transactions are considered suspect enough to be investigated further or to trigger a payment decline outright. The solution is suitable for being installed at a financial institution, on the network, or some other institutional participant of the Faster Payments System (FPS), such as an access service provider to the FPS for corporate clients. | 09-03-2009 |
