Patent number: 12190304Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for embedded card reader security include configuring a personal account number (PAN) application installed on a device to utilize an embedded card reader (ECR) and receiving, at the PAN application and based at least in part on an interaction between the ECR and the device, a PAN for a transaction. The PAN may be sent to a payment processing service and a personal identification number (PIN) application may render a PIN user interface. The PIN may be received at the PIN application and sent to the payment processing service. The transaction may be completed based at least in part on an indication from the payment processing service that the PAN and the PIN have been accepted.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2023Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Murat Cat, Murtaza Munaim, Gokhan Aydeniz, Conrad Rushing

Patent number: 11694178Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to embedded card reader security. In an example, personal account number data read from a payment instrument may be temporally and/or spatially separated from personal identification number data utilized to complete a payment for products. Temporal separation may include removing the personal account number data from a merchant device prior to request personal identification number data. Spatial separation may include utilization of trusted execution environments, separated embedded card reader applications, intermediary applications, and/or trust routines, for example to enable different components of a merchant device, and/or components of other devices and systems to handle personal account number data and personal identification number data.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Murat Cat, Murtaza Munaim, Gokhan Aydeniz, Conrad Rushing

Publication number: 20080281783Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention may permit retrieving and presenting media resources and/or providing online chat functionality. The embodiment may include a communication toolbar. The communication toolbar may be an interactive user tool that allows a user to retrieve and display document and media files, website/pages links, and/or conference links. The communication toolbar may also aid users in facilitating an on-line chat between one another. Another embodiment of the present invention takes the form of a media retrieval and display module that may show any and all retrieved search results to the user. Each search result may include a text description of the media record file, such as a title, a link to the media record file and a time bar associated with the media record file. The time bar may include at last one graphic indicator corresponding to a time in the media file where the search term is used.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2007Publication date: November 13, 2008Inventors: Leon Papkoff, Kenny Chen, Conrad Rushing, William Kwok

Publication number: 20080055306Abstract: A virtual space and apparatus for constructing, displaying, and interacting with the virtual space. The virtual space may take the form of a tradeshow, complete with exhibit booths, video screens, a convention hall and so forth. In such an exemplary virtual space, the user may navigate between booths, displays, halls and so on. Navigation may be displayed as three-dimensional movement on a two-dimensional display, and may be rendered as real-time motion between booths controlled by the user or as short movies or “cutscenes” showing the motion from one booth (or other point of interest) to another booth (or point of interest). A door is a point or portion of the virtual space that may be accessed or interacted with in order to leave a booth, initiate a transition movie or travel between two parts or segments of the virtual space.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2007Publication date: March 6, 2008Inventors: William Ming Yi Kwok, Leon Papkoff, Conrad Rushing
