A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11868979B2) outlines a system for payment processing that utilizes a predictive model to categorize bill or invoice statements. The system involves a payment server equipped with computer-readable storage medium and instructions to carry out various steps. These steps include receiving an initial payment request, verifying the customer record, adjusting image factors, inputting image data into the predictive model, categorizing the request as a bill or not, extracting payment data values, training the predictive model, generating a vendor payment request, transmitting payment confirmation requests, receiving approval notifications, and updating payment records. The system also includes an electronic wallet application for mobile devices to facilitate the approval process.

Furthermore, the patent details additional features of the system, such as processing registration requests, handling duplicate payment requests, managing recurring payment requests, and utilizing different communication channels for electronic addresses. The system ensures efficient payment processing by training the predictive model based on historical data and customer interactions. By automating various steps in the payment processing workflow, the system aims to streamline the payment confirmation and vendor payment request generation process. Overall, the system described in the patent aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of payment processing by leveraging predictive modeling and customer data to categorize and process payment requests effectively.
