Abstract: A method of performing operations on a processor of a mobile payment transaction processing system, includes receiving mobile payment messages from a point-of-sale (POS) terminal operated by a merchant performing mobile payment transactions with mobile terminals. Each of the mobile payment messages contains transaction information, a network address for the POS terminal, and a geographic location provided by the mobile terminal. A POS terminal risk score is generated based on similarity between the geographic locations provided by the mobile terminals contained in the mobile payment messages which also contain the network address for the POS terminal. Processing of another mobile payment message, which is received from the POS terminal performing another mobile payment transaction with another mobile terminal subsequent to the generating of the POS terminal risk score, is controlled based on the POS terminal risk score and transaction information contained in the another mobile payment message.

Abstract: A method for measuring a capacitive sensor output may include applying an excitation signal to a capacitor of the capacitive sensor which causes generation of a modulated signal from a baseband signal, wherein the excitation signal is of a carrier frequency which is higher than frequency content of the baseband signal, demodulating the modulated signal to generate an output signal representative of a capacitance of the capacitor wherein the demodulating is based, at least in part, on the excitation signal, determining whether noise in the modulated signal is caused by interference at approximately the carrier frequency, and in response to determining noise in the modulated signal is caused by interference at approximately the carrier frequency, modifying the carrier frequency to another frequency to reduce noise caused in the modulated signal by the interference.

Abstract: A method to determine a body pose of a user in a virtual reality or augmented reality system includes acquiring sensor data from a plurality of sensors in a garment worn by a user. The sensor data is processed to generate a processed sensor data set, wherein the processed sensor data set is scaled for the size of the user. The processed sensor data set is converted to a pose data set. The pose vector data set is then used by a viewer device to render the body pose of the user.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides performance measurement (PM) for segment routing (SR) with flexibility to have PM information piggy backed, preferably using service function chaining (SFC) to data packet itself or dedicate PM packet avoiding change in data packet. A performance measured flow (PMF) identifier is used by transit/egress nodes for statistics collection for a given PMF. The PMF identifier is carried in the piggy backed information without the use of separate SR label. The Piggy backed information carries the node information role of the node used by transit egress nodes to collect statistics for a given PM segment. The present disclosure collects the statistics for multiple segments and multiple PM types using a metadata present in single received packet, saving bandwidth and making PM calculation fast and more accurate. Using the present disclosure, the timer/configuration requirement per performance measurement instance from transit/egress node is avoided.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to multi-factor authentication of a user. In one embodiment, a computing device presents a one-time password to a user that has a sequence of characters. In response to presenting the one-time password, in various embodiments, the computing device receives a first sequence of fingers supplied by the user to a fingerprint sensor of the computing device. In some embodiments, the computing device converts the one-time password to a second sequence of fingers based on a mapping that associates fingers with characters. In one embodiment, the computer system authenticates the user by comparing the first sequence of fingers with the second sequence of fingers. In various embodiments, these actions may be performed in the context of a client-server interaction.
