  • Patent number: 11915098
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining, by a first computing device of a multi-part code system, a first portion of a code from a network computing device. The network computing device generated the first portion of the code and a second portion of the code from the code. The method further includes displaying the first portion of the code on a code display area of an interactive display of the first computing device and instructing a user of the first computing device to position the first computing device near the second portion of the code such that the first and second portions of the code align. When the first portion of the code is aligned with the second portion of the code, the method further includes producing the code and sending a finalize interaction notification to the network computing device. The finalize interaction notification includes information from the produced code.
