Publication number: 20240078396Abstract: Scanners with wakeup systems are disclosed herein. An example scanner assembly includes a wakeup system having an infrared (IR) transmitter configured to project IR illumination through a window of the scanner and an IR receiver. The IR receiver has a second field-of-view (FOV) directed through the window that overlaps a first FOV of an imaging assembly of the scanner by at least 50% at the window and has a second central axis that is non-perpendicular to the window such that the second central axis is tilted downward from horizontal with the scanner assembly positioned in a vertical first configuration where the window is in a generally upright orientation. A controller of the scanner is configured to activate an illumination system when the IR receiver detects IR illumination reflected from an object in the second FOV of the IR receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Darran Michael Handshaw, Edward Barkan, Miguel Orlando Rodriguez Ortiz, Joseph D.

Publication number: 20160283933Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing electronic payment from a portable device that is associated with a user to a payment network via a merchant device and a gateway. The gateway can be notified when the user is in a merchant's premises. For example, the gateway can receive a token associated with the user's portable device and then use this token to retrieve the user's profile. The gateway can also receive a payment request initiated by the user, and in response, authenticate the user based on the user's profile, process the payment request, and notify the merchant if the payment is approved. During the payment process, the user advantageously does not need to share his or her personal or financial information at the point of sale in the merchant's premises.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2016Publication date: September 29, 2016Inventors: Michael Joseph ORLANDO, Scott Carlos STEVELINCK, Christopher Paul ORLANDO
