A mobile device includes at least one processor, a memory and computer-executable instructions stored thereon. The mobile device is structured to determine first geolocation information indicative of a location of the mobile device and determine, based on the first geolocation information, that the mobile device is located within a predetermined geographic region from a plurality of merchant locations. The mobile device generates an electronic alert message regarding the plurality of merchant locations and displays the electronic alert message to the user. The mobile device determines a user selection of a payment card via a mobile wallet application running on the mobile device. Second geolocation information regarding a location of the mobile device is determined. A code generate a code for a purchase transaction is generated. The code includes the second geolocation information, tokenized payment card information, and a merchant identifier.

Example embodiments of the present disclosure include a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a computer-implemented method for providing a recommendation based on a level of buying intent of an individual. Consistent with some embodiments, the method may include monitoring an amount of time an individual wears a particular item while in a fitting room of a retail store, and determining an interest level of the individual in purchasing the item based on the amount of time the individual wears the item. The method may further include generating and providing a recommendation for an additional based on the determined level of intent.

A method and system are proposed for presenting information relating to a product to a potential customer for the product, upon the user scanning a 2D barcode using a mobile device. The information is presented to the customer as a story generated by an agent-based storytelling system. The story is personalized to the customer using online multimedia. It can be used to conduct mobile branding and advertisement, and is able thereby to augment offline shopping with online shopping experience.

Systems and methods are described for acquiring and decoding a plurality of images. First images are acquired and then processed to attempt to decode a symbol. Contributions of the first images to the decoding attempt are identified. An updated acquisition-settings order is determined based at least partly upon the contributions of the first images to the decoding attempt. Second images are acquired or processed based at least partly upon the updated acquisition-settings order.

A method for determining the authenticity of an identity document is provided that includes capturing, by an electronic device, image data of an identity document. The identity document has a first side and a second side. The image data includes an image of the first side and an image of the second side. The first side includes data about a person associated with the identity document and second side includes a PDF417 barcode which has features. The method also includes determining a class of the identity document. The features of the PDF417 barcode adhere to criteria established for the determined class of the identity document. Moreover, the method includes analyzing the features of the PDF417 barcode for anomalies. In response to determining the features of the PDF417 barcode are free of anomalies, the identity document is determined to be authentic. Otherwise, the identity document is determined to be fraudulent.

This disclosure relates to electronically linking offline user activity to online activity of that user. Linking offline to online activity provides real-time feedback on traffic flow from a machine-readable label (“MRL”) scan to a conversion event on a target website. Linking offline to online activity enables tracking of specific MRLs and conversion events associated therewith. Linking offline to online activity enables calculating benchmarks such as time to conversion event and best performing conversion locations for an MRL. Linking offline to online activity enhances security and data quality as each conversion event can be traced back to a unique MRL scan and a timestamp and geolocation associated with the unique MRL scan.

A driver login device includes: a network communication unit in communication with the server via a network; an image pickup device capturing a target to obtain a login data; an image processing unit electrically coupled to the image pickup unit, and receiving and processing the login data to obtain a digital data; and a central processing unit electrically coupled to the network communication unit, the image pickup device and the image processing unit. The central processing unit, by way of the network communication unit, receives the data of the driver from the server via the network, controls the image pickup device to capture the target, comparing the digital data with the data of the driver to generate a comparing result, and by way of the network communication unit, transmitting the comparing result back to the server via the network.

A system for processing barcode information provided by the user, which may be used to print and encode RFID-enabled product labels. The system may include a bar code scanner or may include a manual bar code entry interface such as a keyboard and mouse, and may be configured to output a label corresponding to a barcode once the barcode has been scanned, optionally with user customization by an operator and optionally including variable data provided through a variable data module. This system may allow for the calculation of EPC values, the tracking of serial values used in the printing process, exporting of the printing history, and printing and encoding of tag.

A terminal device may obtain a public key and target identification information from a communication device, search for the communication device via a wireless interface of the terminal device, based on the target identification information and a result of the search for the communication device, determine whether the communication device is to establish a wireless connection with an external device or with the terminal device, in a case where it is determined that the communication device is to establish the wireless connection with the external device, send first connection information to the communication device, in a case where it is determined that the communication device is to establish the wireless connection with the terminal device, send second connection information different from the first connection information to the communication device, establish the wireless connection with the communication device via the wireless interface by using the second connection information.

An aerosol delivery device includes a chamber for receiving an article including an aerosolizable material for delivery by the aerosol delivery device, a transmitter, a receiver spaced apart from the transmitter, and a processor. The processor is configured to: cause the transmitter to transmit a first signal to the receiver at least partially through an article in the chamber in use, so that the receiver receives a second signal, wherein the second signal is the first signal altered by interaction with a signal altering component of the article, and determine article data from the second signal. An article includes an aerosolizable material; and a signal altering component. The signal altering component is configured to alter a first signal transmitted at least partially through the article into a second signal indicative of article data.
