Patent number: 12045832Abstract: A method is provided for displaying an augmented reality image of account information associated with an indicialess transaction card having a card surface with a background pattern applied thereto. A real-time image of the card surface is captured and processed to determine if the background pattern matches a card background pattern associated with a cardholder account. Responsive to a positive determination, communication is established between the user device processor and a card processor carried by the indicialess transaction card. The user device processor receives from the card processor an encrypted verification block and transmits, to an authentication server, an authentication request including the verification block.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2023Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: CAPITAL ONE SERVICES, LLCInventor: Jeffrey Rule

Patent number: 12045791Abstract: An ultra-thin Self-Service Terminals (SSTs) is provided. The ultra-thin SST lacks an Operating System (OS). When the ultra-thin SST is powered on, firmware of the ultra-thin SST connects to a virtualized environment over a first network connection and a Virtual Machine (VM) instance having the OS is loaded within the virtualized environment. The OS of the VM instance obtains middleware services from a second network connection to a middleware environment. The middleware services provided authentication, management, and audit services for the VM instance based on the ultra-thin SST.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2020Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: NCR Voyix CorporationInventor: Gautam Phukan

Patent number: 12039592Abstract: A system has a computing device that displays a plurality of graphical user interfaces (GUIs), the GUIs designed to capture detailed data indicative of a renter of a vehicle. The system further has a processor that receives data from one of the plurality of GUIs indicative of the renter. Further, the processor provides a plurality of vehicles available for renting and receives a selection of one of the plurality of vehicles from the renter. Also, the processor opens a gate for the renter to a rental car location and directs the renter to a key box, unlocks the key box based upon comparing the renter's image captured at the rental car location to a picture previously received from the renter. The processor further opens the key box if the comparison indicates the renter at the rental car location is the same person who uploaded the picture previously.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2021Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Inventor: Kenneth McClendon

Patent number: 12039517Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and techniques for enabling a communication device to communicate wirelessly with a near-field-communication (NFC)-enabled payment terminal while avoiding interference between the NFC-enabled payment terminal and other NFC payment instruments. In some instances, the communication device may receive, via a non-NFC communication protocol, a payment token from an identification device and may send, over NFC, the payment token to the NFC-enabled payment terminal for satisfying the cost of a transaction.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2023Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Blake Macy, Sora Kim, Kaustuva Acharya, Jacob Francis Garstki

Patent number: 12039522Abstract: Conducting hands-free transactions comprises a server at a payment processing system, a user computing device, and a merchant computing device. The payment processing system receives a communication from a hands-free payment application on a user device, the communication comprising a first transaction token, an identification of a user account, and a beacon identifier. The merchant may provide a challenge to the user and use the response to identify the token and account of the user. The merchant computing device can use voice patterns of the user to assist in identifying the token and account of the user. The system receives from the merchant computing device a transaction request, the transaction request comprising the first transaction token and transaction data associated with the transaction request. The system determines that the transaction is for an amount less than a configured transaction limit and communicates a request for an authorization of the transaction.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2023Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Varouj Chitilian, Sashikanth Chandrasekaran, Denise Ho, Zhihong Xu, William Hartley Setchell, Phalachandra Sreepada Bhat

Patent number: 12033154Abstract: Detecting and controlling fraud in centralized processing is provided. A system receives data packets carrying electronic transactions, and clusters the electronic transactions based on an intermediary identifier of each of the electronic transactions to identify a first cluster and a second cluster. The system generates a first model for the first cluster and a second model for the second cluster. The system detects a fraudulent electronic transaction having a first source identifier. The system locks a first data structure to prevent transfer of a first resource in electronic transactions associated with the first source identifier. The system identifies source identifiers associated with the first cluster in a first tier. The system locks absent detection of the fraudulent electronic transaction in one or more electronic transaction associated with the source identifiers, the data structure corresponding to each of the source identifiers in the first cluster.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2022Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: Alegeus Technologies, LLCInventor: John Bull

Patent number: 12030721Abstract: The invention relates to a storage and order-picking system (1a . . . 1f) as well as order-picking method for picking ordered goods into or onto a target loading aid (4, 4?), in which at least one of the picking orders comprises multiple order lines (6, 7), which specify (an) ordered good(s) (2, 3) according to its/their type of good (8) and its/their number of pieces to be picked (9). During the execution of a picking order, a first loading aid (11, 11a . . . 11c), which is configured so as to be different from a hanging bag, with ordered good(s) (2) of the first order line (6) is out-fed from a first storage zone (10). Further, a hanging bag (13) with ordered good(s) (3) of the second order line (7) is out-fed from a second storage zone (12). Then, the ordered good(s) (2) of the first order line (6) and the ordered good(s) (3) of the second order line (7) are loaded into or onto a target loading aid (4, 4?) in accordance with the at least one picking order.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2019Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: TGW Logistics Group GmbHInventors: Timothy Lindley, Gerald Kettlgruber, Christian Ahammer, Harald Johannes Schroepf
