  • Patent number: 8789167
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating check-ins that are resistant to common fraud scenarios while also being relatively inexpensive. One or more embodiments include displaying unique tokens in quick succession on a display positioned at the check-in location (e.g., a store, restaurant, or other business or location). Customers have a short period of time (e.g., a few seconds, five minutes, etc.) to scan a particular check-in token before a new token is displayed on the display. Each token may encode a pre-determined number or identification code that cannot be guessed by the user and that can be verified by the system to validate the check-in. By periodically changing the check-in token displayed to users and limiting each token to a single use within a short timeframe, users are prevented from checking in remotely.

  • Patent number: 8321505
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for generating and/or processing a preview bundle. Embodiments include receiving a request from a client to generate a preview network page that corresponds to a production network page generated in a production environment. Embodiments further include specifying at least a portion of the preview network page as a user developed portion. Embodiments also include generating the preview network page that is based at least upon the production network page and by replacing source elements of the production network page associated with the user developed portion with at least one data structure element that contains the data elements referenced by the source elements of the corresponding production network page.
