Abstract: Computing machine(s) access an input image of footwear, the input image comprising a pixel or voxel based image. The computing machine(s) generate, based on the input image and using machine learning engines, a 3D (three-dimensional) CAD (computer-aided design) digital asset comprising a NURBS (non-uniform rational basis spline) model of the footwear. Generating the 3D CAD digital asset comprises: identifying, using a trained classification engine, a visual component of the footwear and iteratively fitting, for the visual component of the footwear, a spline using a trained reinforcement learning engine until the spline is within a predefined average distance from the visual component. The 3D CAD digital asset comprises the spline. The machine learning engines comprise the trained classification engine and the trained reinforcement learning engine. The computing machine(s) provide an output representing the 3D CAD digital asset.

Abstract: A secure point-of-sale (POS) portal architecture for delivering multiple services is provided. According to one exemplary aspect of the architecture, a number of services offered by various parties are integrated for delivery to merchants. The parties offering the services include, for example, payment processors and merchant acquirers and other external value-added service providers. The integrated services, in turn, are offered to merchants and/or their respective customers via one or more POS devices and its supporting system infrastructure at the merchant locations. The integrated services include, for example, acceptance of multiple payment instruments, payment processing, user dialog management, sales promotion and customer support, loyalty programs, back office processing, receipt capture, employee training, risk management, dispute resolution, system security, system administration etc.

Abstract: A payment system for facilitating a payment transaction between a payer and a payee includes a payer access device, a payee access device, and a services hub. The services hub is configured to communicate with the payer device and the payee device; maintain information relating to a payer account and access device information associated with the payer account, the payer account being linked to the access device; generate a tracer ticket in response to a request issued by the payer using either the payer device or the payee device, the tracer ticket containing information relating to the payment transaction; validate the access devices; and authorize the payment transaction against the payer account through conventional payment processing systems. Upon receiving the request from the payee device for the tracer ticket, the services hub generates the tracer ticket and forwards a copy thereof to the payer via the payee device.
