Truist Bank received 1 granted patent this quarter in the Platforms category.
The patent covers a banking-integrated random number system for sweepstakes-style computer games. This Platforms technology uses player point balances held within the banking system to seed external random number generator calls, which then determine game outcomes.
The Platforms patent describes a sweepstakes gaming system where a player's accumulated point balance becomes part of the randomization process itself. Rather than generating outcomes independently, the system sends the player's current points as a parameter to an external random number generator server, creating what amounts to a personalized seed for each draw. The patent pairs this account-linked randomization with device-based geolocation authentication, establishing a verifiable sequence that connects the player's banking data to the external RNG request and ensures the random outcome corresponds to a specific account state at a specific location.
