  • Patent number: 11954714
    Abstract: An identification validation system and method may include detecting that a first age restricted item has been selected for purchase at a first point of sale by a user, determining that an age validation is not enabled, requiring that the user submit an identification instrument to verify an age of the user, after the purchase is complete, prompting the user to enable the age validation feature of the mobile wallet application of the user mobile device, directing a software application loaded on the user mobile device to access at least one biometric data input functionality of the user mobile device to capture the at least one biometric of the user, and comparing biometric features of the user captured by at least one camera.

  • Publication number: 20240078535
    Abstract: An example system for digital wallet management including one or more databases and a computing system is described. The databases are configured to store data corresponding to purchase history of a user, the purchase history including payment account information for a first transaction captured through a reader at a point-of-sale system at the time of the first transaction and an identifier associated with the first transaction. The computing system receives a machine-readable element having the identifier associated with the first transaction encoded therein, searches the databases to determine the payment account information associated with the identifier, generates a prompt requesting confirmation of adding the payment account information for the first transaction to a digital wallet, receives positive confirmation to the generated prompt, and populates the digital wallet with the payment account information.

  • Patent number: 11120415
    Abstract: A distributed data management system is described. Document images stored by a first computing system may be retrieved by a broker system communicating with a user's mobile device that is interacting with a second computing system. The retrieved document images may be transmitted by the broker system for integration into a graphical user interface of the second computing system.

  • Patent number: 10937024
    Abstract: Described in detail herein are systems and methods for a distributed adjustment system. The system can include a first and second computing system. The second computing system can scan and decode an identifier encoded in a machine-readable element using a scanner. The identifier can be associated with an account tied to the first computing system. The second computing system can transmit the identifier to a broker system. The account information can include information associated with various physical objects. The second computing system can scan a machine-readable representation encoded with an identifier associated with a physical object. The broker system can determine the account holder information includes information associated with the physical object. The broker system can dynamically adjust the physical object information displayed on the display of the second computing system based on the information retrieved from the account holder information.

  • Patent number: 10627977
    Abstract: Provided herein are methodologies, systems, apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable media for configuring a graphical user interface of an electronic display device for enabling preauthorized payment of products or services using distributed processing. A customer may interact with a kiosk or terminal to identify themselves and initiate the process for dynamically computing an active preauthorization limit. Items may then be added to the customer's balance at various point of sale terminals or scanning locations within the facility. Total cost of the items is compared to the active preauthorization limit. Once the customer is finished shopping, a GUI can present them with an authorization screen showing their shopping balance and requesting authorization. The user can interact with the GUI to approve the total via the GUI without the need to produce their card or payment method at checkout.

  • Patent number: 10489269
    Abstract: A technique for generating terminal resource recommendations is discussed. Terminal activity status data is retrieved from a number of sensors in order to generate and render terminal resource recommendations. The activity status data is used to calculate a current active terminal recommendation indicative of the number of terminals needed to currently satisfy a particular service metric. A predicted active terminal recommendation indicative of the number of terminals needed at a specified future time period in order to satisfy a particular service metric at the specified future time period may also be generated.
