Appl. No.:

16/907730

Inventors:

- Walnut Creek CA, US
Anthony Vierra - Walnut Creek CA, US

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02

Abstract:

Price mining and product re-pricing data processing systems and methods are disclosed. A computer system is configured for displaying (e.g., on an electronic display associated with a particular product in a brick-and-mortar store) a first price for the particular product. The system monitors one or more competitor websites for competing prices, adjusts the first price to a second price if the competitor's pricing for the particular product differs from the first price and updates the first price to the second price on the electronic display. In various embodiments, adjusting the first price to the second price occurs substantially automatically. In some embodiments, the system tracks price change trends of competitors for one or more products and determines a predicted price change prior to an actual competitor price change. In some embodiments, the system changes one of the first price or the second price to the predicted price prior to an actual price change by the competitor.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

Abstract:

In a particular embodiment, a network protocol modification system is configured to identify a malicious attack on a particular computing system, and modify a protocol (e.g., Border Gateway Protocol) that dictates a path of network traffic to the particular computing system. The system may, for example, modify a protocol (e.g., Border Gateway Protocol) that dictates the path of network traffic to the particular computing system for: (1) all network traffic; (2) any network traffic from one or more particular sources; and/or (3) any other suitable combination of traffic. In some embodiments, the system may interface with one or more ISP or other systems in order to propagate network protocol updates. In particular embodiments, the system is particularly configured to mitigate one or more DDoS attacks against a particular target network or service.
