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.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for context sensitive display of information on a consumable delivery vehicle with en route preparation. An on-board controller may receive different sets of sensor data associated with time, location, temperature, humidity, captured images, and/or captured audio from sensors on the vehicle or at a destination location. The sensor data may be analyzed/processed at the on-board controller or by a remote control system and instructions may be generated for display of context sensitive information based on received sensor data and/or processed sensor data. One or more displays on the vehicle may display images are associated with a branding, a menu, a pricing, and/or an advertisement based on the generated instructions.

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.

Abstract: A system and method according to which a donation transaction is conducted. The method includes providing, via a network, an embeddable form, wherein the embeddable form is associated with a non-profit, and wherein the embeddable form is adapted to be displayed on a graphical user interface to receive payment data and payment metadata associated with the payment data. The method also includes: transmitting, via the embeddable form and the network, the payment data to a third-party server for tokenization of the payment data; receiving, by a software development kit (“SDK”) and via the network, a unique token associated with the payment data, and the payment metadata associated with the payment data; executing, by the SDK, the donation transaction in accordance with the unique token and the payment metadata; and storing, by the SDK, the unique token associated with the payment data and the payment metadata.
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.
Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for mitigation of fraudulent transactions. In some embodiments, a server is communicatively coupled to a user device, and is configured to receive a proposed transaction from a merchant device communicatively coupled to the server, apply a dynamic classification algorithm to the proposed transaction to determine if the proposed transactions appears to be fraudulent, generate a user verification request when the proposed transaction appears to be fraudulent, transmit the user verification request to a user computing device communicatively coupled to the server, receive an approval or a refusal of the proposed transaction based on the user verification request, and process the proposed transaction based on the received approval or refusal of the proposed transaction.

Abstract: Systems and methods using IOT input to validate a loan guarantee are disclosed. An example system may include an Internet of Things (IoT) data input circuit to interpret a loan guarantee parameter; an IoT data collection circuit to collect data using at least one algorithm that is configured to monitor IoT information collected from and about an entity involved in a loan in response to the loan guarantee parameter; and a guarantee validation circuit to validate a guarantee for the loan in response to the monitored IoT information.
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.
Abstract: A computer-implemented method of continuously updating information about a customer approved for a mortgage, the customer associated with a customer identification number. In one aspect, the method may include monitoring information accessed from a blockchain corresponding to the customer identification number, the information used to determine the customer is approved for a mortgage. In addition, the method may further include receiving new information about the customer, the new information used to determine the customer is approved for a mortgage. Further, the method may include updating a block of the blockchain to include the new information and recalculating the amount in which the customer is approved for a mortgage based upon the new information received.
