The patent US12045887B2 describes a system designed to manage and reproduce specific prior states of an electronic marketplace by utilizing a logic component and a non-transitory memory. The system is configured to determine a particular prior state based on the cumulative results of previously processed transactions over a defined period. It retrieves a subset of data representing these transactions and identifies patterns that indicate when the prior state could be reproduced. The system monitors incoming transactions and, upon detecting a match with the identified pattern, prevents the processing of the most recent transaction to avoid recreating the prior state. Conversely, if the pattern is not matched, the transaction is allowed to proceed.

Additionally, the system includes features for accumulating transaction data, simulating the execution of previously received transactions, and dynamically updating the identified patterns based on recent transactions. It can also generate alerts and solicitations related to transactions that could disrupt detected patterns. The claims further specify that the system can handle synthetic transactions and focus on specific transaction characteristics, such as timing and sequence, to refine its monitoring capabilities. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive approach to maintaining stability within an electronic marketplace by proactively managing transaction processing based on historical data and identified patterns.
