Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for initiating a device security setting on detection of conditions indicating a fraudulent capture of a machine-readable code. A service provider, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may provide in-person or device-to-device data transfers through machine-readable codes, such as to effectuate a payment from one mobile device to another. However, unauthorized devices may be in close enough proximity to also capture the code and impermissibly use the code. Thus, device security settings are used to detect whether fraud may occur in certain settings and implement an operation to hide a valid code. This may include operations to obtain information for the unauthorized device, make the code dynamic, or mask the code in a display. Once a nearby valid scanner is detected, such as through emitted light or sound, the valid code may be displayed.

Abstract: A system, a medium, and a method are provided to send compensation data to devices at one or more locations where the data is retrievable. For example, a communication interface of a server device accesses request data, where the request data includes an indication of one or more locations where a compensation amount is retrievable. A compensation data component generates compensation data based on the indication of the one or more locations where the compensation amount is retrievable. A location component determines a location of a client device that corresponds to the one or more locations. A transceiver transmits the compensation data to the client device based on the determined location of the client device that corresponds to the one or more locations.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for detection of fraudulent displayable code data during device capture. A user may utilize a computing device to capture data at a certain location, such as imaging a QR code or reading an RFID reader. However, without knowing that those codes or devices are safe, the user make risk a computing attack on their device. Thus, processes herein provide a manner to detect when codes or devices are unsafe based on the additional data detected when encoded data is captured. In such instances, those codes and devices may be detected as fraudulent and the user may receive a warning of malicious computing attacks. Additionally, the user may be guided to valid codes and devices to utilize and may further receive information on removing such computing attacks.

Abstract: A method for executing orders assigned to a plurality of robots operating in a warehouse, including receiving an order with a plurality of items, each item associated with an item location. The method includes defining a plurality of regions and identifying the regions which include at least one item location associated with the order received by the robot. The method also includes determining, from the regions identified, which regions which include at least one operator and assessing criteria relating to a current location of the robot and to the item locations associated with the regions having at least one operator. The method further includes selecting an item location to which the robot is to navigate from a current location based on an assessment of criteria relating to the current location of the robot and to the item locations associated with the regions in which are located at least one operator.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for robot navigation management including a server configured to define a first zone and a second, adjacent zone within an environment, a threshold along a border between the first and second zones, and a waypoint associated with the threshold. One or more autonomous robots in communication with the server are configured to determine a route from the first zone to the second zone crossing the threshold, the route including a waypoint; and navigate the robot along the route from the first zone to the second zone, including traversing the waypoint in conjunction with crossing the threshold.

Abstract: A glass manufacturing apparatus can include a conduit connected to a delivery vessel and an inlet of a forming vessel. The conduit includes a closed sidewall surrounding a channel extending in a flow direction of the conduit. The closed sidewall is continuous from the delivery vessel to the inlet of the forming vessel to define a closed atmosphere from the delivery vessel, through the conduit, and through the inlet of the forming vessel. The glass manufacturing apparatus can include a heating enclosure including a heating wall and a first heating element. The heating wall surrounds a chamber within which the conduit extends. The first heating element is positioned within the chamber between the heating wall and the conduit to increase a temperature within the channel.

Abstract: Described herein is a fuel authorization program that vehicles enrolled in the fuel authorization program to provide fuel tank sensor data in each fuel authorization request, so that an amount of fuel authorized will be limited to the amount needed to fill the vehicle's fuel tank, reducing a likelihood that fuel will be diverted. In at least some embodiments, the fuel authorization controller at the vehicle automatically uses the fuel tank sensor data and known tank size to include in a fuel authorization request sent to a fuel vendor data defining how much fuel is required to fill the vehicle fuel tanks. In at least some embodiments, the fuel vendor consults data from a source other than the vehicle (such as records maintained by the fuel authorization program) to determine how large the vehicles fuel tanks are, and to calculate how much fuel is required.

Abstract: Example embodiments are directed to systems and methods for generating and providing elevation-aware hotspots. In example embodiments, a network system detects an initiation of a request for a transportation service at a client device of a user and receives an indication of a location of the client device and corresponding signal strengths associated with the client device. The network system then determines a telematics vector based on the signal strengths associated with the client device. Based on the location of the client device and the telematics vector associated with the client device, the network system identifies one or more top ranked elevation-aware hotspots. A pickup point recommendation is then presented, by the network system on a user interface on the client device of the user, whereby the pickup point recommendation includes the one or more top ranked elevation-aware hotspots.
