Systems Controlled By Data Bearing Records Patents (Class 235/375)
  • Patent number: 11928913
    Abstract: A system and method for control of prescription drug packaging and dispensing machines located in an in-patient health care facility including centralized control and enhanced communication between system components. Delay and errors in processing item data in the prescription dispensing system are reduced by using concise ID data incorporated into each canister memory chip and storing canister contents data elsewhere. Canisters are configured in a pharmacy using interchangeable parts. Data being processed is synchronized by a combination of user tokens (who), data identifiers (what), and unique Ids for the entities in the system (where). The foregoing combination enables substantial efficiency improvements and error reduction.

  • Patent number: 11930014
    Abstract: A system includes a central server and one or more user devices connected by a network. The central server receives a request initiated by a user using a user device for a data interaction associated with a data file. The central server checks whether the user is authorized to perform the requested data interaction based on a list of user authorizations. If the user is authorized to perform the data interaction, the central server checks whether the data interaction satisfies at least one rule defined for the user relating to a type of the requested data interaction. If the data interaction satisfies the at least one rule, the central server performs an additional level of authorization to verify an identity of the user. The central server further processes the data interaction when the additional level of authorization is successful.

  • Patent number: 11853987
    Abstract: This disclosure provides various embodiments of systems and methods for secure communications. In one aspect, the system includes a secure payment module (SPM) in a fuel dispenser and a point-of-state (POS) system. The POS system stores a public key certificate uniquely identifying the SPM and is configured to dynamically generate a first session key. The POS system encrypts the first session key with a public key associated with the public key certificate, and transmits the encrypted first session key to the SPM. The SPM, which stores a private key associated with the public key certificate, is configured to receive and decrypt the first session key. The SPM is further configured to receive a set of magnetic card data from a card reader, encrypt the set of magnetic card data with the first session key, and transmit the encrypted set of magnetic card data to the POS system.

  • Patent number: 11853441
    Abstract: A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at a computing system, from a user, a request for an access code and one or more constraints on a use of the access code, and identifying a portable device to be associated with the access code. The method also includes obtaining, using the portable device, authorization for one or more potential interactions using the access code. Upon obtaining authorization for the one or more interactions, the method includes generating the access code, which includes an identifier that causes an access request that includes the access code be routed to the computing system. The method also includes receiving, from an access device, an access request comprising the access code in an interaction. Upon determining that the interaction complies with the one or more transaction constraints, the computing system provides an indication to the access device that the interaction is authorized.

  • Patent number: 11836570
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for optimizing the placement, size, scannability, and effectiveness of optical labels, such as 2D barcodes or machine-readable labels like QR codes, on a specified medium. The system comprises a set of servers configured to execute an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm, a set of user devices, and a database. The AI algorithm analyzes uploaded images of intended mediums for optical label placement, determines optimal placement, size, and orientation of the optical labels, and calculates individual scores for visibility, scannability, and likelihood of being noticed by potential users for each suggestion, then combines these into an overall readability score. The invention offers a user-friendly, efficient, and objective approach to optimizing optical label placement that is particularly effective for addressing considerations for physical object mediums.
