Virtual mobile rewards, gift cards, and/or physical world retailers' loyalty and reward programs are aggregated into a common account accessible and transactional from an Internet capable mobile radio device. Subscribers gain access to discounted codes, coupons, rebates, gift cards, and/or limited time offers, on their mobile device for food, travel, lifestyle, electronics, and entertainment products that fit their lifestyle spending habits, enabling users to edit participating retailers, manage separate account balances, and present preferred discounted offers at retailers and apply discount towards purchase of goods.

There is provided an information processing system that includes an information processing terminal equipped with an IC chip capable of non-contact communication with a reader/writer, a data provider device that stores a first data record for creating service data, and a control information processing device that creates the service data and transmits the service data to the information processing terminal. The information processing terminal includes a terminal communication portion that acquires the first data record from the data provider device and transmits the first data record to the control information processing device. The control information processing device includes a control communication portion that receives the first data record, a control storage portion that stores a second data record for creating the service data, and a data creation portion that creates the service data based on the first data record and the second data record.

Systems and methods for interaction-based validation of electronic tickets. In some embodiments, the system renders a first visually illustrative scene on an interactive display screen of a mobile device, the first visually illustrative scene responsive to a pre-determined gesture performed at a predetermined location on the interactive display screen. Upon a user interacting with the first visually illustrative scene, an app on the user's mobile device extracts user interaction information. In response to determining that the user interaction information matches with a predetermined gesture performed at the predetermined location, the system renders a second visually illustrative scene on the interactive display screen of the mobile device.

An image of a receipt may be received by a service provider from a user device of a user. The receipt may be a record of a transaction between the user and a physical merchant. The service provider may extract text from the image and apply a predictive model trained on text data of historical receipts to the extracted text to identify keywords corresponding to items purchased in the transaction. The service provider may generate a shopping list for the user and/or may compare the keywords to descriptions of catalog items in an online catalog maintained by the service provider to identify catalog items that are the same or similar to the purchased items. The service provider may associate the catalog items with the user's account maintained by the service provider and generate a user interface to present on the user device that includes an indication of the catalog items.

A method for providing an electronic ticket by a security element associated with a mobile terminal. The ticket is stored in the mobile terminal and designed to access a service via an access control device. The method includes the following acts by the security element: receiving the electronic ticket originating from the mobile terminal; temporarily storing the electronic ticket in the security element; providing the electronic ticket for the access control device; authenticating taking into account at least one item of data contained in the ticket and one item of data linked to the security element; and deleting the ticket from the memory of the security device.

Electronic delivery of counterfeit-resistant documents exchangeable for value such as admission tickets, gift certificates, coupons, vouchers, etc. directly to the person who ordered the documents over an open communications network such as the Internet. A first party orders a document from a second party, and the second party electronically delivers the ordered, counterfeit-resistant document to a device designated by the first party. For example, the document may be electronically ordered using a PC, and a printer coupled to the PC may print the document. Alternatively, the electronic information may be provided to a fax, or the document ordered by telephone and electronically delivered to a PC or fax. The document may be made counterfeit resistant by assigning unique information to each document of a given type, e.g., admission tickets, and checking the uniqueness of a document prior to allowing it to be exchanged for value.

A dynamic parking management platform (10) includes a mobile communication device (20), a parking server (12), and an electronic ticket device (30) that cooperate to enable a vehicle driver to effect electronically a secure parking fee payment transaction. The electronic ticket device emits a beacon signal to enable transmission of vehicle parking time and other information to a wireless communication device (40) carried by a parking service provider officer or attendant walking past a parked vehicle and not having to view a display surface on the electronic ticket device. A lock and key capability enables secure parking fee payments and prevents unauthorized parking fee transactions. The parking management platform configured to induce vehicle drivers to purchase a product or service by parking discount inducement or advertisement information from merchants whose stores are located nearby the vehicle parking area.

Systems and methods for use in tokenization are disclosed. One example method includes receiving a request to provision a biometric for biometric transactions to a payment account where, the request includes a cryptogram associated with a transaction to said payment account and/or a transaction ID for the transaction. The method also includes checking with an issuer whether the payment account is supported for biometric transactions, receiving an indicator of eligibility, and then requesting a biometric from the user. The method further includes receiving biometric data indicative of the user's biometric, and transmitting a request to the issuer to enable biometric transactions for the payment account.

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for transaction auditing. One example method includes receiving a request to authenticate a document image. The image is preprocessed to prepare the image for line orientation analysis. The preprocessed image is analyzed to determine lines in the preprocessed image. The determined lines are automatically analyzed by performing line orientation test(s) on the determined lines to generate line orientation test result(s) for the preprocessed image. The line orientation test result(s) are evaluated to determine whether the image is authentic. In response to determining that at least one line orientation test result matches a predefined condition corresponding to an unauthentic document, a determination is made that the image is not authentic. In response to determining that none of the line orientation test results match any predefined condition corresponding to an unauthentic document, a determination is made that the image is authentic.
