  • Patent number: 11790358
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for payment system that uses one-time use tokens for securely facilitating and controlling user purchases using company funds. A user (e.g., driver) may generate a request to make a purchase using a user application. The request may be sent to a server running a payment system that may generate a one-time use token for the purchase of an item (e.g., fuel). The one-time use token may have an expiration time and may only be redeemable at certain locations (e.g., fueling stations) that have been preapproved. The system may send the user application running on the user device the token for purchasing fuel and approved locations. The user may input the token to a controller at an approved location which may request that the server authenticate the token and approve the purchase. Once authenticated and approved, the controller may permit the purchase of the desired item.

  • Patent number: 11790444
    Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure relate to using a verifiable and distributed encoding as a digital currency (e.g., cryptocurrency). According to some embodiments, systems and methods can be executed to transfer cash or “hard” currency responsive to exchange of cryptocurrency supported by blockchain technology. In further example, the systems and methods are tailored to operate within a specified/defined community that ensures the efficient operation of the system by ensuring liquidity of the transfer. According to one embodiment, the system is configured to distribute stable coin, issuing the coin at a discounted value (e.g., relative to a redemption or cash equivalent face value). For example, by issuing coin at a discount the system automatically facilitates peer-to-peer physical cash transfers.

  • Patent number: 11783342
    Abstract: A system and method for checking the sanction status of an entity to determine whether the entity is prohibited from engaging in transactions with an organization. The system and method include receiving a request to form an agreement between an organization and an entity and maintaining, in a sanctioned entity blacklist, associations between a plurality of entities and a plurality of identifiers. Each identifier of the plurality of identifiers indicates that a respective entity of the plurality of entities has sanctioned entity status prohibiting the respective entity from engaging in a transaction with one or more organizations. The system and method include determining a sanctioned entity status associated with the entity based on a digital certificate and the sanctioned entity blacklist. The system and method include generating, responsive to determining the sanctioned entity status associated with the entity, an error condition indicating that the digital certificate failed validation.

  • Patent number: 11775957
    Abstract: A payment reader can have one or more kernels capable of performing certain payment processing functions but not capable of performing certain, more processing-intensive payment processing functions. The payment reader may be designed to selectively assign processing tasks to application layer kernels located on a mobile device and/or a cloud-based device external to the payment reader, the mobile device having more or different processing resources than the payment reader. The selective assignment may be made dynamically based on the measurement of a condition of the reader or an occurrence of an event, such as a determination that the payment reader cannot process a transaction, that the payment reader does not have sufficient battery strength to process the transaction, or that there has been a tampering attempt at the payment reader. The payment reader also has a physical layer module, which module maintains its processing on the payment reader.
