Abstract: A method and system for synthesizing smartphone cue-cards representing socio-technical system (STS) service design prototyping based on a plurality of constraints has been provided. The system creates just in time, a dynamic visual design for senior and junior designers for displaying of patterns as digital Cue Cards based on human configured time constraint and novelty constraints all the while avoiding repeatability for the designer. Smartphone is utilized as a mechanism to host multiple cue cards and an interaction model which allows multiple cue-card-connectedness to jump across constraints of local-maxima/minima towards a global-maxima/minima. The method allows young designers get access to better long term memory (LTM) and senior designer getting access to faster LTM. The present disclosure helps senior designer get faster access to new patterns to reduce time for novel new interventions.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of communicating with a point of sale terminal. The method includes establishing wireless communication with a point of sale terminal using a first communication channel, and establishing communication with the point of sale terminal using a second communication channel. The method also includes transmitting a first section of communication data via the first communication channel; and transmitting a second section of the communication data using the second communication channel.

Abstract: Socio-technical system (STS) service design is an approach to design that consider human, social and organizational factors, as well as technical factors. Due to the nature of STS, any human effort will have challenges in terms of time and resource constraints in such a scenario. A method and system for designing the STS service at scale has been provided. The present disclosure is configured to bring efficiency in terms of time taken and efficacy in terms of dimensions covered. The system uses machine learning methods and natural language processing to aid the rapid process transformation of design thinking for STS. The system is using machine intervention for dimensionality reduction, helps in giving a weighted approach towards goal achievement irrespective of human biases. The prototype is expressed in a commonly understandable human language helping in prototype evaluation—visualizing the prototype even before it is built.

Abstract: A method for enabling a value-added transaction involving a vehicle and a merchant via a mobile device is disclosed. Merchant information may be broadcasted from a merchant terminal. Vehicle specific data may be received at the merchant terminal identifying the vehicle in response to the broadcasted merchant information. Transaction data may be provided to the mobile device to initiate an intended transaction. Payment data may be received from the mobile device at the merchant terminal in response to the provided transaction data. Before completing the intended transaction, a value-added transaction offer may be provided to the mobile device. In response to the provided value-added transaction offer, an acceptance of the value-added transaction offer may be received. The intended transaction and the value-added transaction offer may be completed as a single transaction.

Abstract: A method for providing first data and second data for an interaction is disclosed. The first data is beneficial to a first party and necessary for the interaction, while the second data is beneficial to a second party and is not necessary for the interaction. The first data and second data are provided by a first party device in a single data element. A second party device receives the single data element, separates the first data and second data, and processes the first data and second data separately.
