A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11899711B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for merchant logo detection using artificial intelligence (AI) in a user control server. The method aims to enhance user control over ISO back-end transaction approvals between acquirer processors and issuer processors via a data communication network. The process involves receiving ISO data packets with merchant names, transforming raw data to enriched data, identifying logo candidates from external resources, filtering out low-quality images, processing candidates with high-quality filtering using deep learning classifiers, selecting a logo, and displaying it with the transaction data.

The method includes evaluating logo candidates for aspect ratio, resolution, and entropy during low-quality filtering, while high-quality filtering involves classifying candidates using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), scanning for embedded text, comparing against enriched data, and determining image similarity to known logos. The patent also covers scenarios where ISO data packets lack a merchant logo, and non-logo images like icons, avatars, and memes are encountered. Additionally, the use of CNN learning for deep learning, establishing secure channel connections with mobile account holder devices, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing source code for executing the method are also detailed in the patent. This innovative approach to merchant logo detection using AI showcases advancements in improving user control and transaction security in the digital payment ecosystem.
