Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and computer program products for transmitting data to computing devices via audio communication channels. A computer-implemented method performed by one or more processing devices may include, for example, providing an audio token to a broadcasting device for broadcast via an audio communication channel, receiving the audio token from a user computing device, the audio token being received from the user computing device based on an audio broadcast of the audio token by the broadcasting device via the audio communication channel, and obtaining, in response to determining data that is associated with the received audio token, approval to process a payment transaction by at least in part transmitting the data to the user computing device.

Abstract: A first device listens for a communication token across an audio bandwidth covering a transmit frequency one or more audio frequency broadcasting device. The first device receives at least one token broadcast from the one or more broadcasting devices. The first device demodulates and decodes each received token. One or more computing devices validates each decoded token. The first device determines, based on the validating, a broadcasting device of the broadcasting devices with which to establish a communications channel. The one or more computing devices generates a response token based on the token received from the determined device. The first device broadcasts the generated response token in a response band of the determined device. The determined device demodulates decodes, and validates the token broadcast from the first device. Upon determining the token broadcast from the first device valid, the first device and the determined device establish a wireless communication channel.

Abstract: A user device receives a service device identifier via a Wi-Fi scan at a location and transmits the received service device identifier to an management system via a network. If the management computing system receives multiple service device identifiers from the user computing device, the management computing system receives location data of the user computing device and signal strength data associated with each of the service device identifiers. The management system receives location data from the user computing device and determines a particular service device identifier from the multiple identified service device identifiers having a strongest signal strength where the user computing device location data also indicates the user computing device to be located within a geofence boundary associated with the service device. The management system transmits user account information to the selected service system computing device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for verifying a boot process of a computing system are disclosed. An example computer-implemented method includes reading, by a computing system during a boot process, a header section of a read-write portion of firmware of the computing system. The example method further includes generating, using a first cryptographic hash algorithm, a message digest corresponding with the header. The example method also includes decrypting, using a first public-key, an encrypted signature corresponding with the header. The example method still further includes comparing the message digest corresponding with the header and the decrypted signature corresponding with the header. In the event the message digest corresponding with the header and the decrypted signature corresponding with the header match, the example method includes continuing the boot process.

Abstract: An information system generates data, generates an audio token, associates the audio token with the data, and transmits the audio token along with the data to the account management system. The information system configures a broadcasting computing device to broadcast the audio token at a location. User computing devices at the location via an audio communication channel receive the broadcast token and retransmit the audio token to the account management system via a network. The account management system receives the audio token from a particular user computing device along with a request for data associated with the audio token, extracts the data associated with the audio token data, and transmits the data associated with the audio token to the particular user computing device.

Abstract: To conduct an interaction with a counter-party, a user opens an application on a user computing device and initiates a process to transfer electronic records. The destination of the interaction, such as a recipient counter-party, is identified and a transfer flow is initiated. The user computing device receives an input of the identification of a counter-party for the interaction. The user computing device communicates to a server, such as a processing system server, that an interaction with the counter-party is desired. The processing system server identifies the destination account of the counter-party and the interaction details. The interaction is conducted and electronic records are deposited in the destination account of the counter-party. The counter-party and the user computing system are notified of the successful interaction.
