  • Patent number: 12519345
    Abstract: A contactless card with power harvesting unit is described. The power harvesting unit is configured to harvest power from near field communication radio wave fields and supply power to a memory, processor, and communication circuit of the contactless card. In some embodiments, the contactless card may also include a capacitor for smoothing out power deliver or a rechargeable battery. The contactless card is configured to establish two-way communication with a secondary device and to store and execute applets. In some embodiments, the contactless card is a payment card which contains information associated with a primary profile and a secondary profile. The secondary profile may be activated using two-way communication if the primary profile is deactivated due to fraudulent activity.

  • Publication number: 20250094964
    Abstract: Example embodiments of systems and methods for data transmission between a contactless card, a client application, and a server are provided. The memory of the contactless card may include a first card number table storing a first plurality of card numbers, each card number associated with a user account. A first applet may cycle through the first card number table and transmit each of the first plurality of card numbers to a second applet. In response to detection of one or more gestures by the card, the client application may read one or more of the first plurality of card numbers from the second applet and transmit a verification request associated with the one or more read card numbers to the server, which may compare the one or more read card numbers to a number from a second card number table and transmit a verification determination to authenticate the card.

  • Patent number: 12229778
    Abstract: Systems and methods build blockchains and verify assets for smart contracts. A system includes a memory, a blockchain, a set of nodes, a set of verifiers, a set of miners, and a consensus protocol. The memory can have a block data structure representing a transaction for an asset having an identifier and at least one verifiable characteristic. The consensus protocol can include rules for: receiving the stake at risk from the verifiers, providing the reputational score to the verifiers, verifying the verifiable characteristic of the asset by the verifiers, cryptographic verification by the miners, adding the new block to the blockchain by the miners, providing the reward to the miners, and distributing the copy of the blockchain to each node.

  • Patent number: 12117993
    Abstract: A method of recovering blockchain wallet items, the method including: configuring a first smart contract to authorize a second smart contract to initiate transfer of one or more wallet items registered to the first smart contract to a location specified by the second smart contract; configuring the second smart contract to initiate transfer of the one or more wallet items from the first smart contract in response to receiving a first recovery verifier; receiving, via an API and by the second smart contract, a wallet recovery request associated with the first smart contract, the wallet recovery request specifying a third smart contract as being a recipient wallet; and based on the wallet recovery request and responsive to receiving the first recovery verifier, initiating, by the second smart contract, a transfer of the one or more wallet items from the first smart contract to the third smart contracts.

  • Publication number: 20240311815
    Abstract: Example embodiments of systems, methods, and computer-accessible mediums for transaction authorization are provided. An exemplary system can comprise a card including an input device and a display device in data communication with a server. The server can generate an authorization passcode upon an initiation of a transaction session, and the card can receive an entered passcode through the input device, display the entered passcode on the display device, and transmit the entered passcode to the server for comparison to the authorization passcode. Upon a determination that the entered passcode is a match for the authorization passcode, the server can transmit a match notification indicating the transaction session is valid, and upon a determination that the entered passcode is a mismatch for the authorization passcode, the server can transmit a mismatch notification terminating the transaction session.
