  • Publication number: 20230333603
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing merchant/customer interaction include determining that a tablet computer is in a merchant orientation, retrieving merchant product information according to a received instruction and merchant orientation information, and displaying a merchant screen on the tablet computer that includes the merchant product information according to the merchant orientation information. A change in the orientation of the tablet computer enclosure/stand is then detected from the merchant orientation to a customer orientation. In response, the merchant screen is transitioned on the tablet computer display to a customer screen as the tablet computer enclosure/stand changes orientations by moving the merchant screen and the customer screen linearly while in a stacked orientation.

  • Publication number: 20210392127
    Abstract: A computing device, a system, and a method are provided to receive a number of inputs associated with one or more sensors of the computing device. One or more processors are configured to determine input data based on the number of inputs and authenticate a user account based on the input data. A communication interface is enabled to communicate with one or more devices based on the authentication. Further, the system may aggregate the input data based on the number of inputs. The system may determine identity data of the user account based on the aggregation. The system may transmit an indication of the identity data to the computing device.

  • Patent number: 10535066
    Abstract: In transactions between a consumer and a merchant (or other third party) using services of a payment provider (e.g., credit card company, or financial services provider), methods and systems are provided for enabling any third party to accept chip and PIN payment and payment provider services using a payment provider device that is enabled using the third party's own application (referred to herein as “app”) and not the app of the payment provider. Enabling a merchant to accept chip and PIN payments usually requires the merchant to certify (accredit) their application (e.g., a point-of-sale (POS) system) end to end with the payment providers (e.g., Visa, MasterCard). A software development kit (SDK) modification to the application allows the merchant to accept chip and PIN cards the without the need to certify the application. The SDK includes the functionality that needs to be certified, and certifies it once with a service provider.
