A method and system for conducting an online payment transaction through a point of sale device. The method includes receiving input from a user selecting an item for purchase through the point of sale device; calculating a total purchase amount for the item in response to a request from the user to purchase the item; and sending payment authorization for the total purchase amount from the point of sale device to a payment entity, in which the payment authorization is sent to the payment entity via a mobile communication device of the user. The method further includes receiving a result of the payment authorization from the payment entity through the mobile communication device; and completing the payment transaction based on the result of the payment authorization.

According to various embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device comprises: an audio module including a speaker and a receiver; a codec circuit for transmitting and receiving an audio signal; a magnetic secure transmission (MST) circuit; a switch unit; a memory; and a processor electrically connected with the audio module, the codec circuit, the MST circuit, the switch unit, and the memory, wherein, if a function for requesting a payment is executed when the codec circuit and the audio module are connected with each other, the processor can be configured to: control the switch unit so as to connect the MST circuit with the speaker and/or the receiver, which are included in the audio module; and transmit the MST signal for the payment by using the speaker and/or the receiver, which are connected with the MST circuit. In addition to various embodiments disclosed in the present invention, other various embodiments are possible.

Systems and methods for detecting potential shrink events via RFID technology are provided. The systems include a point of sale (POS) system that includes an optical scanner, an RFID transceiver arrangement, a user interface and a controller. The controller is configured to perform example methods disclosed herein. For example, the controller may detect that the optical scanner has decoded a barcode, trigger the RFID transceiver arrangement to write a data string to an RFID tag located within the object scanning area, conduct a detection operation to detect the RFID tag with the data string in the bagging area. Responsive to detecting the RFID tag with the data string, the method involves the user interface performing a first operation. Responsive to not detecting the RFID tag with the data string, the method involves the user interface performing a second operation.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses using a processor coupled to a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions. The processor is configured to count a first amount of currency, wherein the first amount of currency is the actual amount of currency received by a teller money drawer, receive an indication of a second amount of currency, wherein the second amount of currency is an expected amount of currency, compare the first amount of currency to the second amount of currency, discover a discrepancy between the first amount of currency and the second amount of currency, and transmit discrepancy information to be displayed on a teller computing device.

The invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly, to systems, devices and methods of authenticating the electronic device using a challenge-response process that is based on a physically unclonable function (PUF). The electronic device comprises a PUF element, a processor and a communication interface. The PUF element generates an input signal based on at least one PUF that has unique physical features affected by manufacturing variability. A challenge-response database, comprising a plurality of challenges and a plurality of corresponding responses, is set forth by the processor based on the PUF-based input and further provided to a trusted entity. During the trusted transaction, the processor generates a response in response to a challenge sent by the trusted entity based on the PUF-based input, and thereby, the trusted entity authenticates the electronic device by comparing the response with the challenge-response database.

Disclosed are systems and methods for supporting a vehicle lending services platform. Specifically, machine learning is applied to identify and accumulate data from electronic services. The machine learning is further used to identify risk associated with a potential lend of a vehicle. The identified risk is presented as part of a browser plugin graphical user interface (GUI) and/or inline with portions of a portal GUI of the vehicle lending services platform.

A system detects a transaction outcome by obtaining video data associated with a transaction area and analyzing the video data to obtain at least one video transaction parameter concerning transactions associated with the transaction area. The transaction area can be a video count of items indicated in the video data as detected by an automated item detection algorithm applied to the video data. The system obtains at least one expected transaction parameter concerning an expected transaction that occurs in the transaction area, such as a scan count of items scanned at a point of sale terminal. The system automatically compares the video transaction parameter(s) to the expected transaction parameter(s) to identify a transaction outcome that may indicate fraudulent activity such as sweethearting in a retail environment.

Systems and methods are provided for group bill payment comprising creating a secure group bill payment account associated with a plurality of group members. The group bill payment account may be configured to receive information via a network from the plurality of group members; permit a group member to manage the group bill payment account following an authentication process; and transmit a group payment to a provider. Systems and methods may further comprise receiving instructions from a group member to create a rule for requesting payment, the bill being from a provider and associated with group members; receiving the bill issued by the provider; determining a charge based on the bill and the rule; sending a payment request based on the charge; receiving a deposit into the group bill payment account; transmitting a group payment; and sending a notification.
