  • Patent number: 10412150
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein are directed to a browser mode that provides a secure type of browsing window or a public type of browsing window. Within the secure type of browsing window, systems and methods may enforce all connections as being over Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). Within the public type of browsing window, connections that require login, text entry, or HTTPS are prevented since session cookies and browsing activity from the public type of window may be eavesdropped by a third party. The browser provides separate cookie jars (which store the browser cookies) for the secure type window and the public type window.

  • Patent number: 10033712
    Abstract: A processing system periodically configures a beacon code and random nonce to transmit to a beacon device at a location. Multiple users enter the location with associated user computing devices. The user computing devices retransmit the beacon code broadcasted by the beacon device to the processing system. A particular user initiates a transaction at a computing device at the location, which transmits to the processing system a request for account data and retransmits the beacon code and a random nonce. The processing system verifies the beacon code and random nonce and transmits, to the computing device at the location, user account identifiers associated with user computing devices that retransmitted the beacon code. The processing system receives a selection of the user identifier from the merchant point of sale device and transmits account information to the computing device at the location.
