  • Patent number: 10360416
    Abstract: A detection device and method includes a tongue component having a distal end portion that is insertable a predetermined distance into a card entry slot of a card reader and also having an electrical contact disposed on the distal end portion of the tongue component. A signal component coupled to the electrical contact is activated in response to receiving an electric current by the signal component via the electrical contact disposed on said distal end portion of the tongue component when the distal end portion of the tongue component is inserted the predetermined distance into the card entry slot. An overlay component having portions defining a surface topography corresponding to a surface topography of portions of a bezel area of the card entry slot supports a proximal end portion of the tongue component.

  • Patent number: 10346823
    Abstract: Methods and systems for activating an electronic payments infrastructure employ, for example, a token consisting at least in part of a unique identifier assigned to an inactive header account which is provided on a customer's electronic device. The unique identifier is processable via a transaction processing network. A request, which includes customer information, is received to verify that activation of the header account for the customer is compliant with predefined customer identification rules. A determination is made that activation of the header account for the customer is compliant with the predefined customer identification rules. An activation message is sent to the customer's device using the interface processor, the header account is linked to a digital wallet on a database, and the customer's designation of a source account for the digital wallet is received on the database. The header account can be used in transactions with either on-us or off-us source accounts.

  • Patent number: 9842230
    Abstract: A system and method of guaranteeing the presence of secure and tamper-proof remote files over a distributed communication medium, such as the Internet, is provided. The system and method automatically detects, and then self-repairs corrupt, modified or non-existent remote files. The method first performs an integrity check on a remote file and then determines whether the integrity check passed. If the integrity check passed, then the user goes through the authentication process as normal. If the integrity check fails, then the present invention redirects to an install module in order to prepare to reinstall the remote file. Via the install module, the present invention then reinstalls the remote file and the user is then taken through the authentication process as normal.
