A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11954623B2) discloses a method for allocating constrained resources in a dynamic environment. The method involves receiving request data objects from client devices associated with different channel profiles, assigning profiles to tiers, and determining if they meet threshold conditions. The method also includes generating channel context data from non-uniform data sets acquired from external systems, identifying third-party identifiers, determining attribute types, and generating mapping scores. The data is then validated for machine learning, and a supervised learning process is used to train an allocation model. In real-time, resource requests are applied to a machine learning model, and predicted resource allocations are outputted and dynamically allocated to systems associated with the channel profiles.

Furthermore, the patent includes additional claims related to tiering parameters, geographic locations, audit status, exclusivity status, timing parameters, and outlier removal. It also involves generating control signals for user interfaces, sorting materials based on resource allocations, adjusting resource offers dynamically, providing access controls, and distributing available resources based on predicted allocations. The method also includes updating the training of the machine learning model, generating renderable objects for display, and transmitting signals for resource distribution based on predicted resource allocations. The patent also covers an apparatus and a computer program product for determining predicted future resource demand in a dynamic environment, utilizing similar methods as described in the claims.
