In some embodiments a distributed computing system is provided that includes a plurality of different feature modules and a matching engine. The different feature modules each provide different processing for handling parent requests and submitting, to the matching engine, commands for child data transaction requests that are associated with the parent request.

A method includes: receiving a query from a computing device accessed by a recipient; accessing an identifier, associated with an advertisement card, including a pointer to an electronic document associated with the advertisement card and a recipient code associated with the recipient; accessing a set of recipient profiles associated with target recipients of a set of advertisement cards. The method also includes responsive to the recipient code corresponding to a first recipient profile: accessing a set of recipient characteristics specified by the first recipient profile; deriving an engagement metric, for the recipient interacting with the advertisement card; predicting an intent of the recipient to engage with advertising content related to the advertisement card; assembling a customized advertising experience for presenting to the recipient within a first instance of the electronic document; and triggering the computing device to navigate to the first instance of the electronic document based on the pointer.

A method for providing a communication function in a means of transport includes providing a code on the means of transport, wherein the code is capturable by a mobile terminal of a user and comprises unique identification information of a communication unit of the means of transport; reading the code provided on the means of transport; sending a request for activation of a communication capability of the communication unit to the communication provider by way of the mobile terminal, wherein the request comprises the read unique identification information of the communication unit of the means of transport; and the communication provider providing the communication capability for the communication unit if the user is registered with the communication provider.

Methods and systems for electronic document authentication are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of generating an electronic postmark includes receiving, via a server, a request message from an electronic network, the request message comprising request data including payload data and meta data, generating a timestamp in response to receiving the message, hashing the payload data to generate a payload hash, digitally signing the metadata, the payload hash, and the timestamp to generate a digital signature, generating a response message, the response message generated to comprise the metadata, the payload hash, the timestamp, and the digital signature; and transmitting the response message onto the electronic network.

The inventive platform and method optimize the efficiency of operation within the conveyance industry for goods and services by providing for the filtering, selection and securing of conveyance services in accordance with one or more of client and representative preferences in substantially real time. An efficiency preference may be employed to pool conveyance services for optimizing vehicle utilization.

Disclosed herein are various embodiments to prevent, detect, or take action in response to the moving a device credential from one device to another, the improper configuration of a service processor, a missing service processor, or the tampering with a service processor in device-assisted services (DAS) systems.

Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for generating temporal predictions for provisioning cloud resources using trained machine learning techniques are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes training one or more machine learning techniques using historical data pertaining to cloud resource provisioning and related order information; obtaining data pertaining to at least one order related to one or more hardware components, wherein the at least one order includes one or more cloud resources; generating at least one temporal prediction for provisioning the one or more cloud resources, in fulfillment of the at least one order, by processing at least a portion of the obtained data using the one or more trained machine learning techniques; and performing one or more automated actions based at least in part on the at least one generated temporal prediction.

A proxy system receives and order instruction that combines multiple components configured for execution at a distributed system of subsystems. The proxy system predicts probable values and probable quantities for assets at which the proxy system is allowed to cause execution of the multiple components at the one or more subsystems. The proxy system creates a virtual proxy instruction that is a proxy for the order instruction and detects optimal conditions of the distributed system, and sends messages to cause execution of the multiple components at the subsystems. The indirect execution through the virtual proxy instruction reduces a message-to-execution ratio compared to direct execution of the multiple components based on the order instruction.
