A confidential information provision device includes: an information acquisition unit configured to acquire a confidential level of information that is to be printed on a recording medium; and a provision unit configured to provide confidential information to the recording medium in accordance with the confidential level, the confidential information provided to the recording medium being constituted of a material that is detectable in a non-contact manner.

An electronic device having a unique ticket and an information processing method using the unique ticket are introduced. The information processing method is executed with the electronic device and includes obtaining at least one ticket datum and generating at least one unique code; including the unique code in the ticket datum; generating a tamper-proof on-file ticket datum according to the ticket datum having the unique code. By generating the tamper-proof on-file ticket datum according to the ticket datum having the unique code, it ensures the security of the tamper-proof on-file ticket datum. Furthermore, the unique code in the tamper-proof on-file ticket datum enables verification to be quickly performed, thereby enhancing ticket security and verification efficiency.

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and devices for transaction methods for mobile wallet operations in a casino. Various embodiments are directed to applying funds to a user's mobile wallet by transactions at a kiosk, cage, Peripheral System, or other system of the casino. Embodiments are also directed to applying credit to an electronic gaming machine of the casino. Embodiments are also directed to returning or redeeming credit from an electronic gaming machine of the casino to the user. Embodiments are also directed to transferring credit from a mobile wallet to external funds.

Various examples of the present disclosure provide a mobile sensing and smart payment system. The mobile sensing and smart payment system includes a terminal-identity-information-collection module, and a background data processing center. The background data processing center is configured to successively and respectively trigger, in a suitable time slot, a user information extraction process to extract mobile terminal identity information corresponding to each passenger; based upon extracted mobile terminal information to determine start and destination stations for each passenger; and calculate a charge for each passenger based upon the start and destination stations, and a fee schedule. The present disclosure can effectively determine a charge for each passenger without a need for a corresponding passenger to swipe a card or insert a coin through a traditional gate machine, and thus is advantageous over conventional systems.

The invention relates to a card vending machine and a method for operating the same. The vending machine dispenses cards that contain electronically stored data, which are read in and processed by downstream systems, such as access control systems, vending systems, parking systems, and other systems. The vending machine is tamper-resistant and is equipped with a continuous glass panel, areas of which serve as a graphic user interface. The vending machine communicates with a central server.

A system that includes a depth perception camera to estimate or otherwise measure the dimensions of a proposed carry-on item to determine whether the proposed carry-on item complies with limitations associated with a user. The system is configured to enable checking the proposed carry-on item and receiving payment for the checked item when the item exceeds the limitations associated with the user. Displayed to the user are dimension lines associated with the maximum dimensions of the limitations and/or the captured dimensions of the proposed carry-on item.
