  • Patent number: 11295295
    Abstract: Various embodiments herein each include at least one of systems, methods, and software for dynamic mobile wallet items. One embodiment in the form of a method includes receiving, via a network, a dynamic mobile document request associated with a registered user and including a token associated with data to be included in the dynamic mobile document. The method may then retrieve data for the dynamic mobile document from a database based at least in part on the token and an identifier of the registered user and then continue by transmitting, via the network, the retrieved dynamic mobile document data and data indicating how the dynamic mobile document is to be provided to the registered user to a dynamic mobile document generation service, the dynamic mobile document generation service to generate and provide the dynamic mobile document to the registered user.

  • Patent number: 10990905
    Abstract: When a consumer carrying a device is automatically detected within a pre-defined and constrained space, ticket identifying information is automatically obtained from the device and relayed to a backend ticket redemption server. The ticket redemption server validates a ticket for the consumer from the ticket-identifying information and relays a confirmation to a ticket redemption agent's device and the consumer is checked-in for ingress onto a transportation system or into a venue destination of the consumer.

  • Patent number: 10861017
    Abstract: Biometric templates are created for biometric data captured for a user. Each template is processed to generate a unique token. Each template and token pair is stored in a record of an index along with a link to at least one an external service of the user. During a transaction at a transaction terminal, biometric data for a user is captured and a template is generated. The index is searched with the template to obtain a corresponding token and a link to the external service. The external service is provided the token to identify the user and return personal data for the user from an account of the user with the external service. The personal data is processed for the transaction at the transaction terminal.

  • Patent number: 10796308
    Abstract: A transaction terminal includes a plurality of disparate application services that process within a common/shared platform on the transaction terminal. Each disparate application service may include its own unique biometric provider for providing biometric registration and recognition services to customers at the transaction terminal. When a particular application service is launched for execution on the transaction terminal, a biometric integration manager identifies an appropriate biometric provider for that application service and interacts with that biometric provider and the launched application service to facilitate biometric registration or biometric recognition of a customer transacting at the transaction terminal.

  • Patent number: 9299203
    Abstract: Access level management techniques which require less manual intervention. In one example, a registration system registers an individual for an access level and receives a mobile device identifier from the individual. The registration system generates an electronic pass, which may include a mobile barcode, granting the individual access at the requested access level, and provides the electronic pass to a mobile communication device of the individual using the mobile device identifier. In one application, an individual with a mobile barcode associated with priority access level privileges may be allowed to bypass a queue by using a priority lane.

  • Patent number: 8365984
    Abstract: Techniques for disparate barcode transaction processing are provided. A first barcode associated with a first service is presented at a self-service device, which is associated with processing a second barcode for a second service; the first barcode is disparate from the second barcode. The self-service device identifies the second barcode as a foreign barcode and consults an external service. The external service identifies a next transaction of an itinerary for a customer associated with the second barcode and communicates that to the self-service device. The self-service device completes the next transaction on behalf of the customer.
