Abstract: Computer-readable media, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed for voucher management for attraction access. The computer-readable medium includes instructions stored thereon, which when executed on a processor, perform steps of receiving, from an attraction verification terminal for an attraction site, an access request for a customer presenting an access identifier. The instructions are also configured to retrieve, from a voucher engine, an attraction voucher based on the access identifier, and determine whether the attraction voucher has previously been validated. The instructions are also configured to construct access privilege data based on the attraction voucher. Upon a positive determination of a validation flag for the access privilege data, the instructions are also configured to construct and transmit, to the attraction verification terminal, a virtual access token permitting the access request for the customer to access the attraction site.

Abstract: The present application provides a data sharing solution. In the solution, a first application running on a first user equipment uploads shared data, and a shared device generates a two-dimensional code for the shared data and returns the two-dimensional code to the first application. The first application can provide the two-dimensional code to a second application running on a second user equipment. After scanning the two-dimensional code, the second application can send a data obtaining request to the shared device based on the scanned information, so the shared device sends the shared data corresponding to the two-dimensional code to the second application based on the request, thereby completing cross-application data sharing. The process offers convenient data transfer for the user and also breaks through limitations of data compatibility between the different APPs and alleviates a problem that information between the different APPs cannot be mutually identified.

The information reading unit generates a data string on the basis of a unit signal formed from a plurality of signals output from a group of detection units that detect the marks in synchronization and recognizes the digital code of the information bearing medium on the basis of a group of the data strings sequentially obtained from the array of the unit data zones.

Abstract: A method of identifying data items by wave blocks, each wave block comprising a set of unique features distinguishable from the unique features of other wave blocks. The unique features of the wave blocks are extracted and stored. A plurality of wave tags are defined, each comprising a set wave blocks. A mapping of the set of wave blocks to each wave tag is stored. A request for a wave tag to identify a data item is received and a wave tag is assigned to the data item. The wave tag is broadcasted and is captured by a capturing device, which extracts the unique features of the wave blocks. The wave tag is identified by comparing the extracted features of the wave blocks with the stored features of the plurality of wave blocks. The data item is identified from the mapping of the data item to the wave tag.

Abstract: An intelligent cash drawer unit or cash register is operable to process signals from load cells beneath note/coin cups when the drawer is open. It then determines the weight/value of cash in the cups, in order to either (a) detect an accurate weight in a cup comprising a poorly placed note, or (b) allow a float to be added, or a lift to be made, stepwise, whilst the drawer remains open. An intelligent cash drawer unit or cash register is also described which can detect a poorly placed note, by either (a) comparing signals from the load cells when the drawer is open, and when the drawer is closed or (b) monitoring stable readings, over a predetermined period when the drawer is closed and comparing the monitored values and where the apparent weight determined by the transducer appears to reduce by more than a predetermined amount, determining that a note is poorly placed.
