  • Patent number: 12658976
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods are directed to optimizing short-range wireless read operation for performing a proximity-based reading of a contactless card by an NFC reading unit of a user device. An exemplary implementation utilizes a video signal from a camera unit of the user device which is automatically activated upon detection of an NFC tag within a communication field of the reading unit. Various aspects of the video signal may be analyzed and processed for determination of the final position of the card on the user device, prior to performing an NFC read, following a card tap action by the user. The exemplary implementation uses variations in signal attributes of the video feed to determine a trajectory of the card within the optical view field until the video signal goes dark or drops below a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20260003943
    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may obtain, from a user device, a document image that depicts location information associated with an owner of the document. The device may obtain location information associated with the user device. The device may perform optical character recognition using the document image to obtain a location, or may scan a machine-readable code depicted in the document image to obtain the location. The device may determine a device location based on the location information. The device may determine a confidence score based on the location and the device location. The device may determine whether the confidence score satisfies a threshold. The device may perform an action based on determining whether the confidence score satisfies the threshold.

  • Patent number: 10030678
    Abstract: A pressure compensated load sense hydraulic system and method is disclosed where a first pressure compensated valve controls flow between a pump and a first function based on a highest function load; and a second pressure compensated valve controls flow between the pump and a second function based on the highest function load. First and second operator controls activate the first and second functions, respectively. When the first function is stalled and the second function is activated, the controller closes the first valve to remove the first function load from the load sense circuit and prevent flow to or from the first function. The controller can determine the first function is stalled when a timer exceeds an initialization period. When the controller closes the first valve, it can cycle the first valve between a shutoff period where the valve is closed, and a refresh period where the valve is opened.
