  • Publication number: 20240378938
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system and method for QR code validation and tracking of beverage dispensing. The system comprises a POS device and a server, wherein the POS device is in communication with the server. The POS device transfers a customer order to the server, and the server reviews the customer order for at least one target item. If at least one target item is found, the server generates a QR code and transfers the QR code to a code display device. The code display device displays the QR code such that a customer may scan the QR code with a customer device.

  • Patent number: 11113931
    Abstract: An arcade game includes a rotating and tilting prize receptacle for rotating captured prizes past an RFID antenna and dumping captured prizes back into the playing area. To improve the accuracy of reading RFID tags on the prizes, the receptacle spins to pass the captured prizes past the antenna multiple times. Each RFID tag may be assigned a serial number that is read by the RFID reader to assure that captured prizes are not counted multiple times. After the RFID tags have been read, the receptacle is tilted, preferably while still spinning, to dump the prizes back into the playing area. The captured-prize handling apparatus may include a lighted tower that surrounds the electro-mechanical elements and attracts attention to the game. The receptacle is shaped to urge the captured prizes into a position within the receptacle that enhances accurate reading of the RFID tags.
