Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, device, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for using radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled remote control for providing payment information for the media systems. An example embodiment operates by a computer-implemented method. The method includes receiving, by at least one computer processor of a media device, payment information from a remote control. The payment information is received at the remote control using an RFID reader module of the remote control. The method further includes promoting an authentication request and receiving an authentication response in response to the authentication request. The method further include transmitting the payment information to a server for further processing in response to the authentication response satisfying a condition.

Abstract: Architectures and techniques are presented that can mitigate danger presented by an unsafe condition that can affect a vehicle or an occupant of the vehicle. An unsafe condition can be identified based on activation input, which can be received from an incident activation device such as a panic button or a sensor that detects the unsafe condition. The activation input can trigger an incident mitigation procedure that can determine a safe destination for the vehicle or occupant and a safe course by which to navigate to the safe destination.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating user confidence over a network, according to one or more embodiments, includes receiving an inquiry from a user via a user device over the network, obtaining information related to the user from the inquiry, accessing a user account related to the user based on information passed with the inquiry, reviewing user transaction history of one or more previous transactions conducted over the network between the user and one or more other users, reviewing user connections of one or more other users that have prior knowledge of the user, determining a universal trust score based on user information related to the user transaction history and the user connections, and notifying the user of the universal trust score via the user device over the network.

Abstract: A payment method according to an embodiment comprises receiving, by a payment provider, a payment amount for an application, product and/or service selected by a user over a client device, wherein the payment amount is split between one or more receivers according to instructions provided for splitting the payment amount; and transferring the payment amount to one or more accounts among the one or more receivers according to the instructions.

Abstract: A system and method for performing an identity validation is provided. The invention includes an identity transaction engine component and a communication component. The identity transaction engine component facilitates searching of data store(s) in order to validate identity related to a regulated transaction. The communication component facilitates communication between the identification validation system and remote system such as database(s) and/or data storage system(s). The data store(s) can store governmental agency and/or private entity information. The data store(s) can be remote or local. The invention further provides for the identification validation system to, optionally, include input device(s) and/or output device(s). The input device(s) facilitate identifying an entity to the identification validation system. The output device(s) facilitate communication to user(s) of the identification validation system.

Abstract: A system and method for airport security employing identity validation and/or verification is provided. The invention includes a first identification input component, a second identification input component, a security output component, and, optionally an identity transaction engine component. The system facilitates airport security by having a person attempting to engage in air travel present identification on at least two occasions via the first identification input component and the second identification input component. The first identification input component initiates identification validation utilizing an identity transaction engine component. The second identification input component facilitates identification of the person so that security information obtained via the identity transaction engine component can be provided to the security output component.
