Abstract: Events generated from a terminal are analyzed and a problem associated with a component peripheral of the terminal is identified. Operations and parameters to the operation are obtained to resolve the problem. The operations and parameters are encoded in a code along with security information. The code is provided to a mobile device. The mobile device provides the code back to the terminal. The terminal verifies the security information from the code and decodes the operations and parameters. The operations with the parameters are processed to resolve the problem on the terminal, and the security information and code are logged for auditing.

Abstract: A method includes receiving selection of an audible audio clip by a user, receiving transaction details including an indication of an amount and an identification of an account number associated with the user and corresponding to a pre-staged transaction, encoding the transaction details into an inaudible audio clip, and combining the audible audio clip and the inaudible audio clip into a transferrable audio file that when played, identifies the pre-staged transaction for execution. The pre-staged transaction may be initiated by receiving an audio rendering of the audio file, determining a duration and a size of the audible portion, decoding the inaudible portion to determine transaction details, including an amount and account identification, and the duration and size of the audible portion, validating the transaction based on the decoded and determined duration and size of the audible portion matching, and executing the transaction responsive to validation and the decoded transaction details.

Abstract: Reflected wireless signals from a wireless transceiver are analyzed for perturbations in known wireless signal patterns associated with different levels of stocking capacity for a given shelf/display having a given item type of items stored thereon. The perturbations are compared against known perturbations for the patterns and a decision is made as to whether a real-time notification is to be sent indicating that additional ones of the items require restocking on the given shelf/display.
