Application: Cross-entity load balancing using a distributed ledger (Patent ID: US20240171396A1)

The patent filed by UnitedHealth Group Inc. describes systems and methods for cross-entity load balancing operations using a distributed ledger. The method involves identifying a target entity from a group of candidates based on data associated with a valid invocation received from a first entity. This process includes generating and providing a token and relevant data to the first entity, receiving a second invocation from the target entity with a zero-knowledge proof, validating the proof, and storing information related to the valid invocation on the distributed ledger. The system includes computing devices with executable instructions to perform these operations, ensuring secure and efficient load balancing across entities.

Furthermore, the patent outlines additional features such as validating the zero-knowledge proof using a verifier kit, focusing on various types of invocations including medical claims, and incorporating historical data, agreed terms, and parameters associated with candidate entities into the decision-making process. The data structure stored on the distributed ledger is a non-fungible token, and the system also includes instructions for allocating compensation to the target entity post-validation of the proof. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive framework for managing cross-entity load balancing operations in a transparent, secure, and efficient manner, leveraging the capabilities of a distributed ledger system to streamline processes and ensure fair distribution of workloads.
