Abstract: Disclosed is a device, a method and a system for issuing real-time receipts, the device being connected to a point-of-sale terminal sending it a command to print data representative of the receipt. The device is further connected to a printer, in such a way as to allow the command to print the data representative of the receipt to be transferred to the printer. The device makes it possible to convert the data representative of the receipt, originating from the point-of-sale terminal, into a digital file representative of the receipt. The device then transmits the digital file representative of the receipt, previously associated with an identification number, to a remote storage network accessible via a mobile telephone network of a mobile terminal with which it communicates according to a contactless communication protocol.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for real-time and continuous inventory management using a multi-level inventory management system comprising peripheral device(s) in data communication with some number of warehouse server(s), aggregation server(s), and sales channel server(s). A warehouse server may employ real-time physical inventory parameters received from a peripheral device to manage stock keeping unit (SKU) counts and locations as shipping orders, purchase orders, and bin transfer orders are serviced. An aggregation server may compile physical it parameters received from warehouse server(s) into available inventory used to service sales orders, reserve orders, and pre-sell orders. An aggregation server may also modify available inventory to address the status of servicing warehouses (e.g., unsellable, sellable, and dropship).

The operations may include receiving a request for confidential access, prompting the user, via the user interface, to enter a group of inputs into a single-entry field, receiving a dummy sequence of inputs, receiving or providing an indicator signal, receiving an access sequence of inputs, parsing the group of inputs received to identify the access sequence of inputs based on the location of the indicator signal, comparing the access sequence of inputs to the confidential access code associated with the user, and granting or denying access to the confidential information based on the results.

Abstract: A system and method in which the Bluetooth technology is used in conjunction with a user application on a mobile device to facilitate hands-free fare validation at a transit station. The user app communicates with a controller driver in a controller unit that interfaces with a compliant fare gate. Bluetooth beacons are used to determine a passenger's proximity to the gate and camera-like devices determine whether a passenger has entered a fare validation zone. A user with a valid and active electronic ticket on their mobile device may simply walk through the fare gate “hands free” without the need to search for a physical ticket or a smartcard or a mobile phone. This hassle-free approach significantly improves the user experience and passenger throughput through fare gates. The Bluetooth-based automated fare validation system also detects passengers with valid electronic tickets and those without a valid permit for travel.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system that receives a first notification indicating a first international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) is being registered. A communication device sends a first registration request that includes the first IMSI to a registration function. Further, an identity proxy function intercepts the first registration request and sends the first notification to the device. In addition, the system receives from a billing server a request for services for the communication device. Further, the system provides a first Over-the-Air (OTA) message to the communication device that includes a second IMSI that is provisioned onto the communication device. Also, the system sends a first registration message to the registration function. The registration function includes a registry. The first registration message includes first instructions to indicate to the registration function to add the second IMSI to the registry. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A system and method for providing logistical management support of objects for consumption at one or more localities within a facility that sources the objects from a store. The system includes a server that allows subscribers to access relevant parts of datastore providing data on objects in the store. Devices are used by different subscribers to setup templates defining use of the objects in variety of situations in a dynamically scheduled manner. Applications operate on the devices for a particular subscriber to perform a task associated with using objects in accordance with different templates. Each application progresses the subscriber through functions involving the creation or performance of a procedure using the objects in accordance with a template. Some of the applications track the use of objects in real time and update the server and datastore with status information.
