Patent number: 11769124Abstract: A dual mode payment interface device having a touch display and alternatively operating in a first mode and a second mode and an associated dual mode system are disclosed. The first mode provides access to a merchant system interface (MSI) on the touch display and provides access to a customer system interface (CSI) on the touch display. The second mode provides access to a CSI on the touch display and does not provide access to the MSI on the touch display. The system also includes a merchant display device having a second touch display. The merchant display device provides access to the MSI on the second touch display. The system also includes a wire that provides a communicative connection between the dual mode payment interface device and the merchant display device. The second mode is enabled by the communicative connection.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: CLOVER NETWORK LLCInventors: Jacob Whitaker Abrams, Nagalakshmi Rajagopal

Patent number: 11710126Abstract: A device and associated methods for entering a PIN via tapping are disclosed. The device can be configured to determine a number of taps provided by a PIN holder on a touch sensor in representation of a PIN digit and to store the number of taps as a digit in a sequence that represents the PIN. Indications for interaction with the device can be provided to PIN holders in the form of auditory cues. A visually impaired PIN holder may be able to complete a PIN entry process by following the indications for interaction, tapping on a touch sensor a number of times equal to the value of the digit of the PIN to be entered, and performing gestures mapped to commands for the device.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2022Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: FISERV, INC.Inventors: Jacob Whitaker Abrams, Jeffrey Blattman

Publication number: 20230169481Abstract: A device includes a display and one or more processors that cause a speaker associated with the device to serially recite a plurality of auditory cues. Each of the plurality of auditory cues corresponds to one of a set of characters, and each recitation of the plurality of auditory cues occurs at a predetermined time period. The one or more processors also receive a touch input on the display from a user during the recitation of the plurality of auditory cues, determine a character from the set of characters that corresponds to the touch input based on the predetermined time period, and store the character as a value in a sequence of user-specific information.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2021Publication date: June 1, 2023Applicant: CLOVER NETWORK, LLCInventors: Cheryl N. BERKOWITZ, Jeff Blatman, Mary Katie Haritos, Siva Raja Sekhar Reddy Yeruva, Wako Takayama, Jacob Whitaker Abrams
