The patent US12034648B1 outlines a method for managing notifications and challenges related to digital resources through a network. The process begins with transmitting notifications to first remote devices about various resources. In response, second remote devices send challenges that dispute certain resources. These challenges are classified into categories or "buckets" based on the digital rules applied to the challenged resources. The method includes computing statistics for each bucket, ranking them, and correcting the challenged digital rules of the selected bucket while leaving others uncorrected. Additionally, the method involves receiving new datasets, accessing stored digital rules, and applying both corrected and uncorrected rules to generate new resources, followed by sending notifications about these additional resources.

Further claims detail the user interface (UI) aspects of the method, including presenting dispute opportunities for users to challenge specific resources. Users can enter their challenges through designated fields, which may include text explanations or links. The method also allows for proposed corrections to the challenged digital rules, including adjustments to percentage rates. Notably, the system can incentivize users by promising rewards for valid challenges, with conditions for reward eligibility based on the order of challenges received. Overall, the patent describes a structured approach to resource management that incorporates user interaction and feedback to refine digital rules and enhance resource accuracy.
