Buffering services for suppliers

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• forming or updating, by a platform, a database comprising profiles of multiple users for assessing estimates of fraudulent risks,
• wherein a profile of the profiles comprises a log of actions in transactions associated with a user of the multiple users, together with indications of user behaviors based on the user actions;
• receiving a flight search request from the user;
• displaying a flight search result, with the flight search result comprising multiple flight itineraries resulted from the flight search request,
• wherein the flight search result is displayed in a flight matrix format or a flight itinerary format,
• wherein the flight matrix format is configured to show multiple flight elements configured in different flight categories in a first dimension and either different ranges or values of the flight categories in a second dimension,
• wherein the flight itinerary format is configured to show a list of the multiple flight itineraries, and
• wherein each of the flight matrix format and the flight itinerary format comprises a command selectable by a first action of the user for switching between the formats;
• receiving a user input comprising a second action of the user comprising a selection or a deselection of a flight element in the flight matrix format or a flight itinerary in the flight itinerary format;
• updating the display of the flight search result after the user input, with the selection of the flight element removing flight itineraries not meeting the selected flight element, and with the deselection of the flight element removing flight itineraries meeting the deselected flight element;
• generating an indication of a behavior of the user based on at least the first and second actions;
• receiving a request from the user for a transaction involving a flight itinerary booked by the user to a supplier providing the booked flight itinerary,
• wherein the transaction comprises a first data field linked to the user, a second data field linked to the user, and a third data field comprising data of the transaction;
• assessing a risk of the transaction being fraudulent using the database comprising the profile to provide an estimate of the fraudulent risk associated with the user,
• wherein the estimate of the fraudulent risk is performed by an artificial intelligent algorithm characterizing the transaction request to be whether or not a deviation from a pattern of the user behavior based on the actions and the behavior indications of the user characterized by the profile;
• accepting the transaction when the fraudulent risk estimate is below an acceptable value;
• randomly selecting a processing value for the data field for the transaction;
• modifying the transaction to change the first and third fields of the transaction,
• wherein the first data field is changed to link to the platform,
• wherein the third data field is changed to the processing value, and
• wherein the second data field is remained unchanged, with the unchanged second data field configured to make the user an originated party;
• and
• sending the modified transaction to the supplier.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• forming or updating, by a platform, a profile of a user for assessing an estimate of a fraudulent risk,
• wherein the profile comprises a log of actions in transactions associated with the user, together with indications of user behaviors based on the user actions,
• wherein the actions are obtained during a process of the user selecting a flight itinerary of multiple flight itineraries, with the multiple flight itineraries resulted from a flight search result presented to the user based on a flight search request from the user,
• wherein the indications of the user behaviors are generated based on the actions of the user,
• wherein the flight search result is displayed in a flight matrix format or a flight itinerary format,
• wherein the flight matrix format is configured to show multiple flight elements configured in different flight categories in a first dimension and either different ranges or values of the flight categories in a second dimension,
• wherein the flight itinerary format is configured to show a list of the multiple flight itineraries,
• wherein the actions comprise a switching action of the user between the flight matrix format and the flight itinerary format using a command displayed together with the flight matrix format and the flight itinerary format,
• wherein the actions comprise a selection or a deselection of a flight element in the flight matrix format or a flight itinerary in the flight itinerary format,
• wherein after the selection action, the display of the flight search result is updated with flight itineraries not meeting the selected flight element removed from the flight matrix format, and
• wherein after the deselection action, the display of the flight search result is updated with flight itineraries meeting the deselected flight element removed from the flight matrix format;
• receiving a request from the user for a transaction involving a flight itinerary booked by the user to a supplier providing the booked flight itinerary,
• wherein the transaction comprises a first data field linked to the user, a second data field linked to the user, and a third data field comprising data of the transaction;
• assessing a risk of the transaction being fraudulent using the profile to provide an estimate of the fraudulent risk associated with the user,
• wherein the estimate of the fraudulent risk is performed by an artificial intelligent algorithm characterizing the transaction request to be whether or not a deviation from a pattern of the user behavior based on the actions and the behavior indications of the user characterized by the profile, and
• wherein a risk level higher than a threshold value causes the artificial intelligent algorithm to perform additional authentication steps;
• accepting the transaction when the fraudulent risk estimate is below an acceptable value;
• updating, by the platform, the profile with information about the transaction and the acceptance of the fraudulent risk of the user;
• randomly selecting a processing value for the data field for the transaction;
• modifying the transaction to change the first and third fields of the transaction,
• wherein the first data field is changed to link to the platform, with the change of the first data field configured to make the platform a responsible party,
• wherein the third data field is changed to the processing value, with the change of the third data field configured to avoid clustering the data field with subsequent or previous transactions for other users,
• wherein the second data field is remained unchanged, with the unchanged second data field configured to make the user an originated party;
• and
• sending a substituted request to the supplier.
