Patent number: 12254719Abstract: The invention presents a method for luggage handling processes for passengers on return travel. The process includes acquiring, by an acquiring device, an originating bag tag identifier (O-BTI) or International Air Transport Association (IATA) license plate associated with a bag tag affixed to a luggage item of the passenger. This O-BIT is used to create a digital BTI data record linked to the travel carrier. The method includes printing, by a printing device, a return leg travel IATA-formatted bag tag for a return flight linked to the originating printed bag tag. Additionally, the method may remotely check in the passenger for the return flight by accessing a B-type message using the digital BTI data record, the B-type message containing a passenger name record (PNR) number.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2024Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Inventor: Craig Mateer

Patent number: 12248831Abstract: A smart card including a memory and a domain-specific language (DSL) interpreter is provided. The memory stores card data indicative of a real-time status of one or more attributes of the smart card. The smart card is linked to a service provider and card aggregator circuitry. The card data is stored in a format of the service provider and is updated each time a user of the smart card avails a service of the service provider using the smart card. Further, the DSL interpreter translates the card data to a format of the card aggregator circuitry based on a DSL script and provides the translated card data to the card aggregator circuitry. Based on the translated card data, the real-time status of the one or more attributes of the smart card is presented to the user by way of the card aggregator circuitry.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2023Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Vinayak Gajanan, Elango Pandiyan Irulandy Gopalakrishnan, Maruthi Konda
