The disclosed system provides a novel framework that includes an on-device electronic badge configured with presence broadcasting, monitoring, and communication platforms for interaction with other on-device and networked applications and badges. The disclosed badge can be configured to be dynamically generated (or assembled) based on a set of identifying information related to the user. A generated badge can be utilized to interact with other users and/or interact with activities at particular events, which can occur in the digital realm (e.g., online) or in/at physical locations. A badge can also further be utilized for receiving recommended content.

Disclosed is a control method of a control device, the control method including determining whether a movable object is located in a first area using a detection sensor, activating a first mode among operation modes of the control device when it is determined that the movable object is located in the first area, acquiring user confirmation information from a terminal when the first mode is activated wherein the user confirmation information corresponds to user-specific information stored in the terminal and is provided to the terminal by a server before the terminal provides the user confirmation information to the control device, transmitting processing request information based on the user confirmation information to the server so that the server performs processing on the user confirmation information, acquiring a processing result for the user confirmation information from the server, and providing the processing result for the user confirmation information to the terminal.

In examples, a method of controlling customer access to an assay system comprises (a) receiving a system identifier; (b) identifying said system identifier; and (c) utilizing information obtained from the system identifier to perform one or more operations selected from: (i) enabling full access to said system and/or a consumable used in said system; (ii) enabling partial access to said system and/or a consumable used in said system; or (iii) denying access to said system and/or a consumable used in said system.

A method for purchasing goods, access authorizations or authorizations for using a service from a plurality of offered goods, access authorizations or authorizations for using a service. A defined spatial region is subdivided into defined subregions assigned, in each case, to a purchasable good, access authorization or authorization for using a service. A good, an access authorization or an authorization for using a service from a plurality of offered goods, access authorizations or authorizations for using a service is purchased, and a user registered in advance for carrying out the method on the basis of biometric features and/or on the basis of features, which may be assigned to the user uniquely, or an item registered in advance for carrying out the method is identified and localized in the defined subregion (1, 2, 3) assigned to the good, access authorization or authorization for using a service.

Systems and Methods are disclosed for real-time decryption of a health registry-issued certificate for signaling a user vaccination and/or test status on a user device comprising the steps of: coupling a first user mobile device to a health registry for real-time decryption of a health registry-issued health certificate over a network; outputting on the first user mobile device at least one of an audible output, visual output, vibrational output, and/or textual output based on a pre-defined signaling protocol to signal a user vaccination status based on a token derived from the real-time decrypted health certificate; and decoding a device identifier/tag or token from the first user mobile device by a second user mobile device, fixed access device, or hand-held scanner, signaling to a second user a first user vaccination status based on a pre-defined signaling protocol and the tag/token.

A positioning unit of an access control and user tracking system includes an antenna, which is embedded in the substrate of a ceiling tile of a drop ceiling system. The antenna can be observable (embedded in the substrate of an exposed surface of the ceiling tile), or, alternately, not observable (concealed within the substrate of the ceiling tile). A pinhole camera for capturing video information is inserted through the substrate of the ceiling tile and protrudes from the exposed surface of the tile. A ground plane covers the unexposed surface of the ceiling tile. A control module, comprising a controller, a network interface, an antenna controller, a power supply, an omni directional antenna and/or memory for the positioning unit, is positioned on the unexposed surface of the tile.
