Systems, methods, articles of manufacture, and computer-readable media for determining specific terms to activate a contactless card. An application executing on a server may receive a request from a device specifying a uniform resource locator comprising encrypted data, the encrypted data based at least in part on a private key assigned to a contactless card. The application may decrypt the encrypted data and determine a type of the contactless card. The application may determine a plurality of terms associated with the type of the contactless card and transmit the terms to a web browser on the device. The application may receive, from the web browser, an indication specifying acceptance of the plurality of terms. The application may store, based on the decryption of the encrypted data and the received indication specifying acceptance of the terms, an indication in a database specifying the contactless card is activated for use.

In accordance with some embodiments there is provided an electronic gaming table system (e.g., a smart table operable to facilitate a card game, such as baccarat, blackjack or poker) which includes (i) at least one detecting mechanism for detecting a plurality of game elements (e.g., wagering chips) placed on, or removed from, a particular physical position of a physical table of the gaming table system to represent at least one wager for a particular game event; and (ii) a game controller operable to identify, based at least on data received from the at least one detecting mechanism, whether the plurality of game elements represent a single wager or multiple distinct wagers placed on the particular physical position and for the particular game event. In some embodiments, the detecting mechanism is an RFID antenna.

Described is a system for online vehicle recognition in an autonomous driving environment. Using a learning network comprising an unsupervised learning component and a supervised learning component, images of moving vehicles extracted from videos captured in the autonomous driving environment are learned and classified. Vehicle feature data is extracted from input moving vehicle images. The extracted vehicle feature data is clustered into different vehicle classes using the unsupervised learning component. Vehicle class labels for the different vehicle classes are generated using the supervised learning component. Based on a vehicle class label for a moving vehicle in the autonomous driving environment, the system selects an action to be performed by the autonomous vehicle, and causes the selected action to be performed by the autonomous vehicle in the autonomous driving environment.

Methods and systems disclosed herein may communicate information, such as alerts and notifications, to a cardholder via a color-changing transaction card. In particular, the cardholder may configure one or more thresholds that establish when a transaction card may change colors. For instance, a transaction card may change colors at, or while approaching, a first threshold. The transaction card may change colors at, or while approaching, a second threshold. When the cardholder's balance goes below the thresholds, the transaction card may revert back to the lower threshold color or the original color of the transaction card. Using the techniques described herein a financial institution may convey information to a cardholder in a way that does not require the cardholder to digitally engage with the financial institution.

The present invention comprises scanning, by a mobile device of the user, a QR code generated by a server application when the user requests access to a secure web portal and generating, within a client application, a login code which is used to authenticate the user within an authentication service and then being redirected to the requested portal.

Disclosed herein are various embodiments for systems and methods for self-payment and verification of the purchase of retail goods and services. According to an embodiment of the invention, a method for verifying the purchase using a mobile electronic device in wireless communication with a payment verification system and a code generating system is provided, the method comprising the steps of: receiving from a consumer information identifying an item for purchase; receiving from a consumer information identifying payment means for purchasing the item for purchase; processing the information identifying the item for purchase and information identifying payment means and generating a unique QR code indicating a purchase of the item; sending the unique QR code to a mobile device for display by a consumer to the vendor of the item for purchase.

A computer-implemented method of authenticating the identity of a user is provided, where the user is associated with a computer signature and is in possession of a mobile phone. The method involves obtaining a current geographical location of the mobile phone, determining if the computer signature is associated in a database with a stored geographical location of the phone, and, if the computer signature is associated in the database with a stored geographical location, comparing the stored geographical location to the current geographical location of the phone.

The present disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for controlling access to a controlled area. The method may comprise receiving a credential identifier in an access controller associated with an entrance to the enclosed area, and then authenticating the credential identifier. The method may then comprise sending an unlock signal through a solid state relay within the access controller to power a lock associated with but external to the access controller to unlock a door at the entrance to the enclosed area when the credential identifier has been successfully authenticated.
