Abstract: The invention secures contactless payment cards against misuse at ‘unattended type’ terminal devices having near field communication capabilities. The invention involves receiving from a communication device a first unique identifier associated with a contactless payment card, and a second unique identifier associated with the communication device. Transmission of the first unique identifier and the second unique identifier from the communication device is implemented in response to the communication device detecting a contactless card tap event, and the communication device retrieving the first unique identifier from the contactless payment card. The invention involves selectively implementing one of a first payment authorization communication flow and a second payment authorization communication flow.

Abstract: A pick-up chuck for handling a substrate has a chuck body defining a support surface, a gas relay aperture for transmitting a gas, a vacuum aperture portion configured in use to generate a vacuum force to pick up the substrate, and a flow of said gas through the gas relay aperture onto the said support surface towards the vacuum aperture portion. A gas bearing structure arranged on said support surface is shaped to provide a gas bearing between the substrate and said support surface by utilizing the flow of said gas between the gas relay aperture and the vacuum aperture portion.

Abstract: Embodiments provide methods, and computing devices for auto-submission of user authentication credential. A method includes initiating, by a first computing device of a user, a detection of a pre-paired second computing device of the user based at least on an application requiring a credential to be entered. The application is running on the first computing device and the credential is pre-stored in an encrypted form on a companion application running on the second computing device. The method includes generating a communication channel with the second computing device based at least on generating a mutual authentication key by the first and second computing devices. The method includes sending a request to receive the credential to the second computing device. The method includes receiving the credential in the encrypted form. The method includes decrypting the credential. The method includes facilitating the entering of the credential on the application without user intervention.

Abstract: Embodiments provide methods, and server systems for performing a combined transaction for one or more scheduled transactions. The method is configured to generate one or more machine readable codes for the one or more scheduled transactions through a first transaction terminal, where each machine readable code is associated with a scheduled transaction of the one or more scheduled transactions. Further, the method includes generating a composite machine readable code based on the one or more machine readable codes. The generation of composite machine readable code further include, at least one authentication attribute of an assignee. The method, furthermore, includes receiving a second transaction request through a second transaction terminal. The second transaction request includes the composite machine readable code.

Abstract: A method and a system for facilitating reuse or recycling of a packing bag are provided. A server links one or more details of the packing bag with a user identifier of a user based on an issuance of the packing bag to the user. The packing bag is associated with an identity tag that stores the one or more details of the packing bag. The server detects an occurrence of a first event associated with the packing bag. The first event corresponds to the reuse of the packing bag by the user or submission of the packing bag by the user for recycling. Based on the detection of the first event, the server credits one or more reward points to a reward point account that is associated with the user identifier of the user. The reward points credited to the reward point account are redeemable by the user.

Abstract: A method may include receiving an online purchase request in a merchant interface from an electronic device of a customer. The online purchase request includes payment related information of payment card associated with customer for purchasing an item at a set price. Method includes sending an OTP request to payment server. Method further includes receiving an OTP from payment server, and storing OTP as a merchant OTP. Further, method includes facilitating sending OTP to registered contact identifier of customer. Further, method includes providing an option to customer to input a customer OTP in merchant interface. Thereafter, upon receipt of customer OTP from customer, the method includes locking an online purchase order of item for the set price based on one or more conditions. Payment transaction from payment card is actuated after a time period of locking the online purchase order based on the one or more conditions.

Abstract: The invention provides methods, systems and computer program products for modifying priority parameters corresponding to a software payment application within a contactless payment card.

Abstract: Embodiments provide methods and systems for controlling payment transactions in a payment card using a companion payment application installed on a user device. The payment application and the payment card may be provided by an issuer server. Using the payment application, the number of transactions allowed on the payment card or an amount limit is set for the payment card. The payment application is used to set, reset, change the value of a counter in the card, which determines the number of allowed transactions. When the user attempts to make a transaction at a POS terminal, the payment card reads the value of counter, and if the value is not equal to a threshold value, the payment card exchanges data with the POS terminal and updates the value of the counter. The payment card is precluded from transaction when value of the counter is equal to threshold value.

Abstract: A transaction card comprises a piezoelectric chip configured to detect an impact applied to at least a portion of the transaction card, and generate an electrical pulse signal based on the detected impact. A processing circuitry of the transaction card is coupled to the piezoelectric chip. The processing circuitry, upon powering on, is configured to enable data exchange between the transaction card and a terminal device for executing a card-based transaction at the terminal device. The data exchange is enabled only when a magnitude of the electrical pulse signal exceeds a threshold value, thereby preventing unwanted data transfer from the transaction card.

Abstract: Embodiments provide methods and systems for facilitating online shopping while watching multimedia content on an electronic device. The method includes receiving an input, from a controller, from a user interested in purchasing at least one item using a machine-readable code displayed in a scene of the multimedia content. The scene comprising the machine-readable code. The machine-readable code comprising payment information for purchasing the item. The method further includes capturing at least one screenshot of the scene comprising the machine-readable code without interrupting display of the multimedia content. The method also includes identifying the at least one machine-readable code in the at least one screenshot of the scene. Upon identifying the at least one machine-readable code the method includes extracting the at least one machine-readable code from the at least screenshot of the scene for processing a payment based on payment information present in the machine-readable code.
