The patent US12020223B1 describes a sophisticated system for account management that utilizes machine learning algorithms to enhance user experience and financial oversight. The system comprises distributed servers that communicate over a wide area network, executing instructions stored in memory to manage user accounts in two distinct modes. When an account is determined to be in the second mode—indicating potential financial risk—the system generates predictions about the account balance based on user spending habits, personal account balance, and geolocation data. This predictive capability allows the system to disable a standard dashboard configuration and automatically enable a secondary configuration that offers options such as locking the account, processing checks, or managing scheduled payments. Users can interact with the system through a mobile application or web interface, receiving alerts via various communication channels.

Additionally, the system includes features for monitoring account balances and implementing user-selected options in response to real-time data. The first dashboard configuration provides multiple transaction management options, including the ability to approve or deny transactions, manage negative balances, and prioritize payments. The method also incorporates geolocation monitoring to facilitate transactions in familiar spending locations, thereby enhancing user control over their financial activities. Overall, this patent outlines a comprehensive approach to account management that leverages technology to provide users with timely insights and actionable options to maintain financial stability.
