  • Patent number: 10127746
    Abstract: A system for monitoring two or more persons in an area with an entry point having an access allowed indication or an access denied indication. a token device in communication with at least one wireless proximity detection device which determines a relative location of the token device to provide a detection data point for each of the wireless proximity detection devices and a set of detection data points for the group of detection data points; a system computing device which calculates the shared proximity of the token device according to the set of detection data points and determines that the token device contains at least two valid tickets or does not, if there are valid tickets and the shared proximity of the token device is within a predetermined area the access allowed indication will display to allow entry for a number of persons corresponding to the number of the tickets.

  • Patent number: 10089606
    Abstract: This invention is related to secure payments using data codes displayed on a mobile device, for example a QR code displayed on a cell-phone. The invention establishes a third party transaction service that protects the customer's proprietary payment information, for example, credit card numbers, while ensuring for a merchant that a payment token, for example, the QR code, will represent a valid payment.

  • Patent number: 9881433
    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring permission to be in a location comprising: a secured area having at least one entry point with a mechanical gate having an open and closed position; at least two wireless proximity sensors attached to a portion of (or the area adjacent to) the mechanical gate; a token device in communication with the wireless proximity sensors that determine a location of the token device relative to one of the wireless proximity sensors to provide a detection data point and a set of detection data points for the group of detection data points; and a system computing device that calculates the shared proximity of the token device. If the token device contains a valid ticket and the shared proximity of the token device is within a predetermined area the system computing device will cause the mechanical gate to go to the open position.
