The patent US12045881B2 outlines a method and system designed to enhance database interactions through the use of a machine-learned model. This model is trained on a dataset that includes historical interactions and characteristics of entities that have previously engaged with a central database system. The primary function of the model is to determine the rate at which evidence submissions are required from entities interacting with the system. If the model identifies that this rate is insufficient, it can be retrained by adjusting its weights and parameters to increase the submission rate. The characteristics of historical entities considered in this process may include factors such as past failures, account age, and operational duration.

Additionally, the patent describes the submission of evidence through a second interface created by the central database system, which may include features like an upload interface for file submissions or a third-party API for accessing necessary documents. The evidence required can range from identity proofs to verifications from external systems. The method also allows for the integration of additional information from third-party sources to further refine the machine-learned model. Overall, this patent presents a structured approach to optimizing evidence submission processes in database interactions, leveraging machine learning to adapt and improve over time.
