  • Patent number: 11924186
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are devices, systems, and machine readable mediums for establishing peer to peer mobile wallet communications (P2PMW) over short range wireless communication networks. These P2PMW communications allow exchange of information between two wallet clients. Example communications include payments, providing identification, providing loans, and the like. The use of P2PMW communications opens up the prospect of anyone accepting payment from anybody else at any time. All that is needed is a computing device with a mobile wallet. Example short range wireless communications include Wireless LANs (WLAN) such as WIFI (e.g., communicating according to an Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 family of standards), BLUETOOTH® or the like.

  • Patent number: 11875346
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums which provide a store credit issued electronically to a mobile wallet application from a merchant. This credit may be issued to a mobile wallet in the form of an enhanced wallet payment element. This enhanced wallet payment element may include the terms and conditions (e.g., repayment terms) of the credit (e.g., a digital/smart contract). The customer may accept or reject these terms. For example, when the customer accepts the terms, the enhanced wallet payment element digitally signs the agreement and indicates acceptance to the merchant mobile wallet system (e.g., sends the digital signature to the merchant). Once accepted, the enhanced wallet payment element may be utilized to pay for goods or services subject to the terms and conditions.

  • Patent number: 11660519
    Abstract: A golf swing playing aid device for use on a conventional golf club having a handle, an impact head and a shaft. The golf swing playing aid device may include a grip member having an outer portion and an inner portion. The outer portion may be adapted to be grasped by a hand of the user. The inner portion may be configured to slide along the golf club shaft. The playing aid device may include an electronic device including a rotational sensor adapted to detect a change in rotation relative to at least one axis, and a controller operably coupled to the rotational sensor. The controller may read the rotational sensor to determine the change in rotation relative to at least one axis. When the change in rotation is greater than a threshold amount, the controller may provide an indication to the user, thereby indicating over-rotation of the golf swing.

  • Patent number: 11538093
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for integrating a wallet client with federated directory services are disclosed herein. By integrating merchant services, such as directory services with a wallet service provider, wallet clients on mobile devices can have access to all merchant listings without having to manually add each directory service. The system disclosed herein integrates Chamber of Commerce directory service listings with the wallet client, such that when a request for a merchant directory service is received from a device associated with the wallet client, the request is forwarded to a federated directory service wallet system interface operated by a Chamber of Commerce site. Supply chain data that matches the request, and location information that is included in the request, is then fetched from the federated directory service wallet system interface and forwarded to the device that sent the request.
