  • Publication number: 20200210988
    Abstract: The security of a transaction conducted at a mobile device, using a one-time password to authenticate the mobile device user, is enhanced by requiring that the mobile device also be authenticated by providing a valid mobile device ID. A security server that provides the one-time password to the mobile device also provides a hyperlink that, when selected, causes a mobile device ID, such as an IMSI, to be retrieved from a SIM in the mobile device The retrieved mobile device ID is then sent to the security server. A database associated with the security server stores valid mobile device IDs, and compares the retrieved mobile device ID from the mobile device to the valid mobile device ID for that mobile device stored in the database. In alternative embodiments, the mobile device is authenticated without the use of a one-time password.

  • Publication number: 20190251534
    Abstract: A transaction authentication system authenticates a transaction by determining whether a mobile device and POS device involved in the transaction are at the same location. A POS registry stores location data for POS devices. A PAN registry stores mobile device IDs corresponding to account numbers. A mobile device ID can be provided from the PAN registry in response to receiving an account number from a POS device. The mobile device ID can then be used to retrieve location information from a home location register maintained by a mobile service provider. The retrieved location data for a POS device and the retrieved location data for a mobile device are compared.

  • Publication number: 20060272090
    Abstract: The standing station is used as a patient transfer tool, or as a strengthening tool. The standing station uses a leg abutment pad as a weight bearing surface that allows the patient to semi-kneel during transfers and essentially eliminates the risk of patient falls. The standing station uses an ordinary bed sheet to secure the patient. The standing station's wheel mounts do not extend past the back edge of the standing platform so it has unrestricted mobility relative to beds, chairs, wheelchairs and commodes reguardless of their design.
