  • Secure recognition of mobile devices
    Patent number: 11379574
    Abstract: Techniques for secure mobile device recognition are disclosed. An IOT edge device determines, based on a network message received at the IOT edge device, that a mobile device is not recognized. The IOT edge device transmits a token request to the mobile device. In response, the IOT edge device receives an encrypted token from the mobile device. The IOT edge device transmits the encrypted token to a server. The server is configured to determine an identifier corresponding with the mobile device, based on the encrypted token. A recognition task is initiated for the mobile device, based on the determined identifier.

  • Dynamic Management of Virtual Queues
    Publication number: 20210150421
    Abstract: A dynamic queue management system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing a software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive queue enrollment data identifying a first guest and a first attraction, determine whether the first guest is enrolled in a second queue for a second attraction, and assign the first guest to one of multiple groups seeking admission to the first attraction based on whether the first guest is enrolled in the second queue. The software code further obtains a current occupancy state of the first attraction, determines an attendance period corresponding to an average duration of attendance at the first attraction by previous guests, and identifies one of the groups for admission to the first attraction based on the number of guests in the group, the current occupancy state of the first attraction, and the attendance period of the attraction.
