A store system (1) includes: a reading apparatus (220) that reads a product that passes through a gate (20); a person determination information acquisition apparatus (210) that acquires person determination information that determines a person P who passes through the gate (20); a coupon notification unit (110) that transmits, when a coupon applicable to any product read by the reading apparatus (220) is present, notification information that provides notification of the applicable coupon, to a terminal (30) associated with the person determination information; a checkout unit (120) that performs checkout processing of a product read by the reading apparatus (220), and application processing of a coupon based on coupon use information that is acquired from the terminal (30) and indicates a coupon to be used by the person P; and an electronic receipt transmission unit (130) that transmits an electronic receipt to the terminal (30) in response to execution of the checkout processing and the application processing of a coupon.

Various embodiments are generally directed to improving card security by providing a user a contactless card with no sensitive card information, such as card number, card verification value, and expiration date, printed thereon, and displaying the sensitive card information relative to the card in augmented reality (AR) based on successful NFC-based user authentication. According to examples, the NFC-based user authentication may be performed by one-tapping or single tapping the contactless card to user mobile device. One or more portions of the sensitive card information may be obfuscated to further enhance card security. Moreover, the user can interact with AR elements including the sensitive card information to perform various actions.

Systems, methods, and computer-accessible mediums for user verification through the interaction of a short-range transceiver, such as a contactless card, with a client device are presented. User verification may be provided in the context of reading two types of data from the short-range transceiver, such as a contactless card, using a client device, sending the data to a server, obtaining identifiers from each data type and comparing with stored user identifier data. Matching stored user identifier data to two forms of identification data obtained from a short-range transceiver, such as a contactless card, provides an enhanced ability to verify that the short-range transceiver is being used by an authorized user.

Disclosed here are various embodiments to evaluate a device and present a price quote to the user by detecting a presence of a device in proximity to a wireless charger. The system can utilize a wireless charger to obtain information about the device while charging the device. The information can include the make of the device. The system can guide the user to navigate the device to provide additional information such as model, memory capacity, unique identifier, and carrier associated with the device. Based on the unique identifier, the system can determine whether device has been stolen. If the device has not been stolen, the system can determine a price based on information obtained from the device and can facilitate presenting the price to the user. If the user accepts the price, the system can facilitate purchase of the device.

A toll transponder may receive transaction card data identifying a transaction card associated with a transaction account. The toll transponder may provide to a toll server device, and via a toll antenna of a toll collection system, a request for a transaction amount for a vehicle toll, and may receive a response requesting authorization for payment of the transaction amount. The toll transponder may determine, based on the response, an authorization request cryptogram for payment of the transaction amount, and generate an encrypted signal identifying the authorization request cryptogram, the transaction card data, and a toll transponder identifier identifying the toll transponder. The toll transponder may provide the encrypted signal to the toll server device via the toll antenna, and may receive from the toll server device, via the toll antenna, data indicating whether the transaction amount for the vehicle toll is approved.

Communication which a user does not desire is prevented. As information processing device (1) includes: a region specifying section (23) which determines a given region of a display region of a display section (18) of a display device (11), the given region corresponding to an element image included in a screen displayed on the display section (18); and an antenna control section (24) which (i) controls, to be in a communication state, an antenna (150) which is included in the given region and (ii) controls another antenna (150) to be in a non-communication state.

A method to include an identifier as metadata associated with a captured image is provided. The method may include receiving, by a device, an image and a unique identifier associated with the image, wherein the received image is a frame associated with a video stream. The method may also include storing the unique identifier as metadata associated with the received image, whereby the metadata is linked to a specific frame in the video stream according to a plurality of parameters, and whereby the unique identifier is received from a unique ID reader which reads a tag attached to an object included in the image.

An RFID loss-prevention system (LPS) may monitor RFID-tagged items in a facility. An RFID reader transmits a first inventory command configured to cause tags in a first state to respond, receive a reply from a first tag, determine that the first tag has a low transition risk, and cause the first tag to switch to a second state. The reader may also receive a reply from a second tag, determine that the second tag has a high transition risk, and cause the second tag to remain in the first state. The reader may then transmit a second inventory command configured to cause tags in the first state to respond, receive a reply from the second tag in response to the second inventory command, determine that the second tag has inappropriately exited the facility, and issue an alert.

Techniques for radio-frequency identification systems include sensor systems having a sensor unit and one or more sensors and a server. The sensor system includes one or more antennas at a location configured to receive signals from a tag proximate to an antenna and a processor configured to process tag detection signals based on the received signals. The processing may include selectively storing tag detection signals received from one or more antennas and identify an event related to the presence of a tag proximate to an antenna at the location. Sensor system may include a transmitter configured to transmit a message indicating the event over a network to a server. The server may be configured to process the message by analyzing a feature of the signals related to the event. The analysis may evaluate an adjustment of a configuration parameter used to operate an antenna. The configuration parameter may be updated by the server, and the server may transmit a message indicating the configuration parameter to the sensor system.

A structural unit for a linear actuator has at least one sensor unit. The sensor unit measures at least one deformation characteristic variable of the structural unit. There is also described a linear actuator with such a structural unit.
