  • Patent number: 12545304
    Abstract: Navigating a transportation network by receiving an equipment identifier, querying a section of interest database to obtain at least one section of interest associated, accessing geolocation data from one or more geolocation sensors, querying a one section of interest using geolocation data to identify a next section of interest. With geolocation data, calculating at least one of a time to a next section of interest or a distance to a next section of interest, and determining that a reduction in speed is required, where a reduced speed is an amount of speed by which the speed must be reduced in order for the equipment to achieve a target speed associated with the next section of interest, and providing an alert configured to escalate to the user interface.

  • Publication number: 20220358484
    Abstract: A system for issuing a dynamic temporary credential to a portable communication device for use in a transaction with an electronic control point. The system receives the current geo-location of the portable communication device and transmits a dynamic temporary credential to the portable communication device from the centralized computer. The system further scores the risk in authorizing a transaction associated with an electronic control point using the dynamic temporary credential it issued. The system may prevent the transmission of the dynamic temporary credential until the end user has been authenticated, which may include verifying one or more of a manually input passcode, the unique digital signature of the portable communication device, and know your customer queries.

  • Patent number: 10515352
    Abstract: A system for providing first and second trusted applications diverse permission to communicate via a secure element. The system comprising first digital identifier and digital token operably associated with the first trusted application; a second digital identifier and digital token operably associated with the second trusted application. The system further includes a card services module that provides an application programming interface to the secure element supported by a secure data table including first and second sets of permissions. The card services module issues one or more commands to the secure element based on a first action requested by the first trusted application in conjunction with the presentation of the first digital token only if the one or more commands will not violate the first set of permissions. A method is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10337814
    Abstract: A dearmer positioning system has two assemblies, each of which circumscribes a dearmer's barrel. Each of the two assemblies includes two half rings and a one-piece outer ring. The two half rings are joined to one another to define a full ring having a first central opening defining a first diameter. The full ring has a periphery defining a second diameter. The one-piece outer ring has a second central opening defining a third diameter, and a periphery defining a fourth diameter. The third diameter is greater than the second diameter such that the full ring slidingly fits in the central opening of the outer ring. Threaded fasteners engage the outer ring and extend radially through the outer ring and into its central opening to engage the periphery of the full ring.

  • Publication number: 20180174131
    Abstract: A system for using a dynamic temporary credential with a portable communication device for use in a transaction with an electronic control point (e.g. point of sale, NFC access point) wherein the portable communication device has a geo-location module (e.g. GPS). The system has a centralized module that receives the portable communication device's current geo-location and transmits the dynamic temporary credential to the portable communication device and provides predictive transaction information—including the dynamic temporary credential and portable communication device's geo-location—to an authorization system operably associated with the electronic control point. The dynamic temporary credential has a predetermined time to live, which allows for the recycling of the dynamic credential, such recycling may take into account the geo-location for which the credential has been recently issued. A method for using a dynamic temporary credential with a portable communication device is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140289119
    Abstract: A system for providing an application associated with a portable communication device the ability to communicate via a secure element. The system has a digital identifier and digital token operably associated with the application; a card services module that provides an application programming interface to the secure element; and a secure data table associated with the card services module. The secure data table includes a list of trusted applications each identifiable by paired digital identifier and token. The card services module [includes] compares the identifier and the token with each of the identifier-token pairs in the table until a match indicates the application is trusted. The card services module issues commands to the secure element based on an action requested by a trusted application in conjunction with the presentation of the digital token. A method of providing an application with the ability to communicate via secure element is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20120265685
    Abstract: This invention involves, in part, a system for automatically selecting a credential among a plurality of credentials on a portable communication device based on a geo-location of the portable communication device and based on a user preference, for use in an electronic wallet transaction. The system includes a geo-location device configured to detect the geo-location of the portable communication device; a location identification service unit configured to be activated by a pre-determined user input, and configured to determine a merchant where the portable communication device is most likely to be located based on said geo-location; means for storing preferences corresponding to the plurality of credentials; and means for automatically determining which of the plurality of credentials to use for the electronic wallet transaction based on the preferences.
