  • Patent number: 11657682
    Abstract: Systems and methods include a kiosk that performs an electronic payment transaction based on instructions received from a portable device of a user. The system further includes a transmitting device electrically coupled to the kiosk. The transmitting device is configured to transmit a first signal to the portable device at a first direction. The system further includes a receiving device electrically coupled to the kiosk. The receiving device is configured to receive a second signal from the portable device at a second direction. The transmitting device and receiving device are positioned such that the first and second direction enable determination of a position of the user, where the processor enables the electronic payment transaction to be processed only when the portable device is at a location relative to the kiosk. The location is disposed within a transmission path coextensive with both the first direction and the second direction.

  • Patent number: 11546214
    Abstract: A method of network configuration of a personal identification number (PIN) pads includes receiving a request to upgrade a PIN pad from a merchant or an individual software vendor (ISV) to read microprocessor-enabled or contactless payment vehicles, retrieving a PIN pad configuration hash value from the PIN pad, obtaining current configuration using the hash value, sending instructions to the PIN pad to upgrade the PIN pad over a network if the PIN pad is capable of reading microprocessor-enabled or contactless payment vehicles, and downloading and installing drivers to enable PIN pad readers to read and process at least one of the microprocessor-enabled payment vehicles and contactless payment vehicles according to the instructions. The method further performs additional operations such as updating the PIN pad registry with the PIN pad configuration and enabling the PIN pad to read the microprocessor-enabled or contactless payment vehicles.

  • Patent number: 11537461
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to automatically resolving an error in a user interaction with a user page without the user having to disengage from the user page to resolve the error. A monitoring agent may interface with the user page. The monitoring agent may provide an error signal to an error resolution module in response to detecting an error in the user interaction with the user page. The error resolution module may determine a causal factor for the error based on the error signal and contextual data at the time of the error. A resolution flow may be determined based on the causal factor. The resolution flow may be implemented by the monitoring agent contextually within the user page to resolve the error without the user disengaging from the user page.

  • Patent number: 11521198
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for allowing purchase of virtual gift cards includes receiving a communication indicating a gift card type and specifying a value amount. Responsive to the communication, a purchase of a virtual gift card of that type and storing that value amount is processed. This processing includes processing a payment for the specified value amount. Further, a gift card merchant application programming interface (API) capable of processing a purchase of a virtual gift card of the indicated gift card type is identified from amongst a set of such APIs. That API is used to initiate purchase of the virtual gift card. After the purchase is processed, an indication of the purchased virtual gift card is sent to a mobile computing device. The mobile computing device uses the indication to configure itself to allow transactions using the purchased virtual gift card to be initiated. Fraud detection may also be performed.

  • Patent number: 11514239
    Abstract: System and method for generating RCS message templates using a graphical user interface (GUI) with concurrent representative display. Templates are generated based on inputs via an input region of the GUI. Inputs can include a template name, a template type, and message content, which can include text, images, video, interactive buttons or icons, and so forth. Inputs can be static or parameterized. A representative message based on the template is concurrently displayed in a display region of the GUI. Based on the inputs, the system generates RCS message templates, such as by compiling JSON code corresponding to the user inputs and the representative display.
