  • Publication number: 20200042955
    Abstract: A computer-based electronic check processing system may enable the transmission of electronic checks from a payor system to a payee system. The check processing system may receive a check generation request from the payor system. The check processing system may generate an electronic check based on the check generation request. The check processing system may transmit a check notification to the payee system to notify the payee system that the electronic check was generated. The payee system may access the check processing system, based on the check notification, to interact with and retrieve the electronic check.

  • Patent number: 10142330
    Abstract: A computer-based locking system using changing passcodes includes an application server and an application in electronic communication with the application server. The application runs on a computing device. The application may request an input passcode from the application server based on a lock ID. The application server retrieves an algorithm from a database using the lock ID and generates the input passcode using the algorithm with a time as the input. A lock includes a passcode interface and a locking mechanism with the passcode interface being capable of capturing the input passcode. The lock executes the algorithm locally to generate a local passcode based on current time. The lock releases the locking mechanism in response to the input passcode matching the local passcode.
