A batteryless payment device is disclosed. According to certain embodiments, the batteryless payment device may include a first communication system and a second communication system, the second communication system being a near-field-communication (NFC) system. The batteryless payment device may also include a power receiver coupled to the first communication system and configured to wirelessly receive power from an external device for powering the first communication system. The batteryless payment device may further include a controller configured to: when the first communication system is powered, establish, via the first communication system, a first wireless connection with a user device; receive, through the first wireless communication, a token from the user device; establish, via the second communication system, a second wireless connection with a payment terminal; and transmit, through the second wireless connection, the token to the payment terminal.

A device may receive first information related to a transaction. The device may identify a first device from which to receive an image of a receipt related to the transaction. The device may provide, to the first device, a notification to cause the first device to perform a set of actions including activating a camera associated with the first device to capture the image of the receipt, or providing, for display, an instruction related to capturing the image of the receipt associated with the transaction. The device may receive, from the first device, the image of the receipt. The device may process the image of the receipt to perform an analysis of the transaction. The device may perform an action related to the transaction based on a result of processing the image of the receipt.

Advantageously, the invention is a competitor to money transfer systems. Conventional digital transactions facilitate electronic payment, such as money transfers, payment card charges, e-commerce transactions and other types of transactions. However, payees may be unbanked people (e.g., children) or people with no payment card (e.g., may have lost card), and payment card fund transfers may be expensive, time consuming, and cumbersome for financial institutions. Thus, there is need for an improved approach. The invention discloses an automated digital method of providing or sharing access to a payment card and/or similar financial account or non-card product, transactions between individuals or legal entities without physical transmission of a payment card, non-card product or its credentials, even without a recipient of an access having a payment card and/or financial account or non-card product, particularly by providing or sharing access to a payment card and/or similar financial account or non-card product of a sender.

A smart street parking management system includes a smart street parking meter a smart cloud parking management server connected to the smart street parking meter through a wireless networking technology and configured to regularly receive parking information of a vehicle parked on a smart street parking grid and status information of the smart street parking meter uploaded by the smart street parking meter. The status information of the smart street parking meter includes an empty-space status of the street parking grid detected by the smart street parking meter and a battery status of a rechargeable battery of the smart street parking meter. The parking information of the vehicle includes the plate number of the vehicle, the parking fee of the vehicle, and a payment status of the parking fee of the vehicle.

Methods and systems for a financial card with dynamic viewing angles are disclosed. A first portion of indicia and a second portion of indicia can be disposed on a first surface and/or a second surface of a financial card. The first portion of the indicia can be viewable only from at least a first viewing angle. The second portion of the indicia can be viewable only from at least a second viewing angle, the second viewing angle being different from the first viewing angle.

Systems and methods for secure and efficient bill capture, analysis, and execution are provided. A method may include capturing, via a camera embedded in a smart card, an image of a bill. The bill may include a plurality of text fields. The method may include processing the text fields via a microprocessor embedded in the smart card. The method may include determining, based at least in part on the processing of the text fields, a balance amount and a payment recipient associated with the bill. The method may also include executing a payment for the balance amount from an account associated with a user of the smart card to an account associated with the payment recipient. The executing may be performed via a wireless communication element embedded in the smart card which may be configured to provide wireless communication between the smart card and a payment gateway.

A method and system include providing a user interface associated with an issuer of an account; receiving, at the user interface, a request to generate a token associated with a user account; generating at least one token associated with the user account; authenticating one or more elements associated with the user account, wherein authentication may be one of prior to and subsequent to the generation of the at least one token; and receiving the at least one token. Numerous other aspects are provided.
