  • Patent number: 12253926
    Abstract: Methods and systems for performing efficient integration tests on mobile device for contactless data transfers are described. Rather than performing contactless communications with a variety of test user devices (e.g., test smart cards), which may be time consuming and may present physical difficulty, a mobile device can simulate the result of these communications using a simulator application operating on the mobile device. A contactless communication application, also operating on the mobile device, can communicate with the simulator application in order to generate interaction payloads based on stored data records corresponding to the test user devices. These interaction payloads can then be transmitted by the mobile device to a processing computer. Later, the mobile device may receive a response from the processing computer or another computer system, indicating if the interaction payloads were successfully received and interpreted. This in turn may indicate if the integration test was successful.

  • Patent number: 12245035
    Abstract: A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by an access control server, an authentication request message comprising a credential or a token from an access device, after the access device receives the credential or the token from a portable device of a user. The method also includes responsive to receiving the authentication request message, transmitting, by the access control server, a challenge message to a user device associated with the user; generating, by the access control server, an authentication indicator. The method also includes transmitting, by the access control server, an authentication response message including the authentication indicator to the access device.

  • Patent number: 12124843
    Abstract: A method conducted using a mobile device is disclosed. The method includes maintaining a plurality of software modules, wherein each software module of the plurality of software modules is built and executed independently of other software modules. The mobile device receives first interaction initiation data corresponding to a first transaction. In response to receiving the first interaction initiation data, a first subset of the plurality of software modules is selected via an application interface to execute the first transaction. The mobile device receives second interaction initiation data corresponding to a second transaction. In response to receiving the second interaction initiation data, a second subset of the plurality of software modules to execute the second transaction is selected via the application interface. The first subset of the plurality of software modules is different than the second subset of the plurality of software modules.
