G06Q 20/20
G06Q 30/02
G06Q 20/32

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for transmitting, as part of a polling loop, a value added services (VAS) command that includes capability data corresponding to a payment terminal. For example, the payment terminal can transmit a VAS command that advertises the payment terminal's capabilities as part of a polling loop. The payment terminal can listen for a response to the VAS command and, after receiving a response, the payment terminal may initiate a VAS protocol. The VAS command can also specify a mode in which the payment terminal is operating, such as a payment-only mode, a VAS mode, a payment-plus-VAS mode, etc.

International Classification:

H04W 12/108
H04B 5/02

Abstract:

A user device including near-field communication (NFC) circuitry may receive a polling message from an NFC terminal. The user device may obtain information based at least in part on the polling message. The user device may determine a characteristic of the NFC terminal based at least in part on the information. The characteristic may be indicative of a radio frequency (RF) field strength of the NFC terminal. The user device may adjust an RF setting of the NFC circuitry based at least in part on the characteristic. The RF setting may correspond to an RF sensitivity of the NFC circuitry.

International Classification:

G06Q 20/40
G06Q 20/08

Abstract:

A device facilitating script deployment through service provider servers includes at least one processor configured to receive, from a service provider, a request to perform a transaction directly with a device secure element on which a credential is provisioned, where the request includes a credential identifier corresponding to the credential. The at least one processor is further configured to identify, based at least in part on the credential identifier, the device secure element. The at least one processor is further configured to verify that the service provider is authorized to interact directly with the device secure element. The at least one processor is further configured to instruct, responsive to the verifying, the device secure element to communicate directly with a service provider server to perform the transaction. The at least one processor is further configured to receive, from the device secure element, a result associated with the transaction.

International Classification:

H01B 7/40
H01R 25/00
H01B 7/04

Abstract:

A cable management system () for retaining cables that is an improvement in the management of cables () or other long flexible articles, particularly when gathered for storage. The cable management system may allow a cable retaining when wrapped as a coil or in bundle form. It may include an element integrated with one or both ends of the cable, so that the cable is integrated with the cable management system and cannot be physically separated from the cable or cord or lost. The cable management system may utilize a malleable element () oriented along an end of the cable, such that the malleable element may be bent into a position in which it is wrapped around a cable coil () or bundle ().
