This application discloses a method for automatically activating an NFC application and a terminal, and relates to the terminal field. When a terminal has a plurality of SEs, an NFC application accessed by a transaction instruction is automatically activated. The terminal may include an NFC controller and at least two SEs, and each of the at least two SEs carries at least one NFC application. A specific solution is as follows: The NFC controller receives a transaction instruction, determines a target SE from the at least two SEs according to the transaction instruction, and sends the transaction instruction to the target SE; the target SE receives the transaction instruction, and determines, according to the transaction instruction, a target NFC application from an NFC application carried in the target SE; and the target SE runs the target NFC application, and executes the transaction instruction.

Methods and apparatus for determining a parcel position error based on a comparison of load data and configuration data are provided. Embodiments describe a number of methods of determining the parcel position error such as by determining a parcel path from the load data.

A system, method and computer-readable medium for interfacing with an EMV compliant chip card having an embedded microchip. A transaction computer includes a virtual credit card terminal running in a web browser and that is in communication with an EMV card reader having a chip card slot. The virtual terminal defines a first EMV transaction and a second EMV transaction based upon user input. The virtual terminal then causes the embedded microchip of the EMV chip card to generate a first cryptogram associated with the first transaction and a second cryptogram associated with the second transaction during a contact interface session or a contactless interface session. The virtual terminal then authenticates the first and second cryptograms over a computer network with a card issuer. Once authenticated, the virtual terminal completes the first transaction and the second transaction.

A process for retrieving configuration information for a controller of a building automation system (BAS) includes verifying login information on a mobile computing device to ensure the mobile computing device has authority to access a wiring diagram. Then, a mobile computing device receives identity information associated with the controller via Near Field Communication (NFC) read operations from memory of an NFC tag associated with the controller and retrieves, using the identity information, the wiring diagram from a storage medium. The mobile computing device further displays the retrieved wiring diagram associated with the controller.

An object recognition system is disclosed. The object recognition system includes an input device configured to obtain image data and a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) data of an object, a processing device connected to the input device, and configured to perform a model training procedure, wherein the model training procedure includes capturing an object feature according to the image data, generating a classification data corresponding to the object according to the object feature, verifying a correctness of the classification data according to the RFID data, and generating a deep learning model according to the verified classification data, to regenerate the classification data, and an output device connected to the processing device, and configured to generate an object recognition data corresponding to the object according to the classification data generated by the deep learning model and the RFID data.

The present invention improves user experience when a reader/writer (5) and a portable terminal (7) engage in near field communication by selecting any of two or more communication modes in order to link an image forming device (3) and the portable terminal (7) using near field communication. When a log-in screen is displayed on a display unit (403) of the image forming device (3), the reader/writer (5) and the portable terminal (7) are automatically set to a read communication mode.

A mobile robot is configured for operation in a commercial or industrial setting, such as an office building or retail store. The robot can patrol one or more routes within a building, and can detect violations of security policies by objects, building infrastructure and security systems, or individuals. In response to the detected violations, the robot can perform one or more security operations. The robot can include a removable fabric panel, enabling sensors within the robot body to capture signals that propagate through the fabric. In addition, the robot can scan RFID tags of objects within an area, for instance coupled to store inventory. Likewise, the robot can generate or update one or more semantic maps for use by the robot in navigating an area and for measuring compliance with security policies.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for testing proximity card readers. Aspects include proximity card reader test bed environments configured to test proximity card readers with a plurality of proximity cards while minimizing human involvement. A proximity card reader can be tested to determine a likelihood of the proximity card reader functioning as intended over time and to determine proximity card reader compatibility with different proximity card formats. Proximity card reader failures (e.g., crashes) and incompatibilities can be detected in the testbed environment reducing the likelihood of deploying defective and/or incompatible card readers into operation.

In an aspect, a system for carrier identification. A system includes a computing device. A computing device is configured to receive an identification signal from a central identification unit coupled to a carrier of a plurality of carriers. A computing device is configured to identify a carrier of the plurality of carriers via an identification signal. A computing device is configured to arrange a plurality of carriers into a group as a function of a carrier group optimization model. A computing device is configured to receive a carrier datum from a central identification unit. A computing device is configured to update a group of a plurality of carriers as a function of a carrier datum.

A secure package delivery and pick-up system includes a security door having a frame, and one or more collapsible storage compartments affixed to the frame. The collapsible storage compartments are configured for accommodating packages. An electronic unit is mounted on the frame, and is configured for electronically controlling an operation for the collapsible storage compartments. A security device is connected to the security door and receives images of a physical object from a first camera, receives an indication from at least one security tether indicating movement of the at least one physical object, and provides an alert based on the indication of movement of the at least one physical object.
