  • Patent number: 10699090
    Abstract: Embodiments include technologies for applying dynamic occlusions to barcodes, which include determining a dynamic occlusion to be applied to a barcode, generating an object for displaying a series of images of the barcode with the dynamic occlusion, where the barcode is to be scannable at least once based on the series of images to be displayed, and providing the object for access by the mobile device. In specific embodiments, the dynamic occlusion includes a modification to a first portion of the barcode to create a first image of a modified barcode. In further specific embodiments, the object, when displayed for a first time period, is to render the first image of the modified barcode for at least a first interval occurring within the first time period. The first portion of the barcode is unscannable during the first interval and is at least partially scannable during one or more other intervals.

  • Patent number: 9076083
    Abstract: Technologies are provided in embodiments to enable secure one-time printing for electronic coupons. The embodiments are configured to provide, for display on a display screen of a user device, one or more coupon offers, to receive information indicating at least one offer is selected by a user, to communicate a unique identifier of the user device and an indication of the at least one selected offer to a coupon platform, and to receive the at least one selected offer to be printed if the at least one selected offer is available. Embodiments are also configured to bypass a print dialog box to provide the at least one selected offer directly to a default printer associated with the user device. Specific embodiments are configured to communicate to the coupon platform whether the print was successful. In specific embodiments, coupon codes are not displayed with the one or more coupon offers.
