Abstract: An automated kiosk includes a front panel positioned in front of a conveyor with conveyor slots sized to receive clothing hangers. Dividers separate each conveyor slot from the adjacent conveyor slots, forming a compartment for each conveyor slot. Two doors are positioned in the front panel. An electronic controller moves a conveyor in order to reposition a desired compartment in front of the doors. The doors open inwardly, and are of sufficient length that the extended edge of the doors engages with and overlaps the outer edge of each of the dividers. With each door engaging the divider on each side of the compartment, a user is blocked from being able to access items that are in adjacent compartments.

Abstract: A semi-automatic garment identifier and hanger labeling system utilizes a label printer with a hanger guide to facilitate quick and error-free placement of an adhesive tag onto the hanger. The label printer is mounted in a printer frame with a guide assembly that guides the movement of a hanger in order to ensure proper placement of the tag onto the neck of a hanger. As the hanger is pushed through the guide assembly, an adhesive label is wrapped around the hanger to form a flag-type tag. A fan assembly ensures that the label is held flat on left and right label plates regardless of the remaining length of the label roll. Fingers at the back of the label plates close the adhesive label onto itself to achieve the flag-type tag shape. Software communicating with the printer and the cleaner point-of-sale system automates printing of the appropriate information on each tag.

Abstract: During token and PAN provisioning, instead of just having one token per one PAN for a single use case (PAN), between 1 and N tokens per a single PAN are provisioned. During provisioning a decision engine will supply additional details that are applied to each token. This additional information is stored in a token virtual vault that houses the mapping between PAN and token. Then, during a transaction, the decision engine chooses which token to give to the merchant to process business as usual. When the token comes into the network, additional information associated with that individual token may be identified. This information may be conveyed to a transaction account Issuer in substantially real time on and/or appended to the transactional message.
