This disclosure generally relates to a system for authenticating a user in a digital or physical environment. The system includes an electronic device associated with the user and receiving verification information from the user. The system further includes a server computer, connected to the electronic device, the server computer including the verification information about the user. The electronic device receives the verification information about the user and provides it to the server computer for comparison. The server computer verifies the user based on the verification information about the user received from the electronic device.

A wireless device can transmit, over a communications network to a server, a request to download an application associated with obtaining information pertaining to a package. The wireless device can receive the requested application from the server, and can execute the application using the one or more processors. The wireless device can transmit one or more electromagnetic pings in a vicinity of the package, receive a first return signal from the first resonance portion, and receive a second return signal from the second resonance portion. The first return signal has a frequency based on the one or more electromagnetic pings and a first resonant frequency of the first resonance portion, and the second return signal has a frequency based on the one or more electromagnetic pings and a second resonant frequency of the second resonance portion.

A data collection device comprising an input, a processor and an output. The input is configured to receive a user identifier receive data from external data generating equipment. The processor is configured to generate processed data comprising the received data and metadata including the user identifier. The output is configured to output the processed data to a data repository.

For a measurement period, signal strengths, device identifiers and access point identifiers are received from a plurality of access points. A record for the measurement period is stored in random access memory with the record being associated with a single device identifier and containing access point identifiers associated with signal strengths received for the measurement period. The location of a device is determined for the measurement period by retrieving spatial coordinates of a corresponding access point for each access point identifier in the record for the measurement period and setting the location of the device for the measurement period to the average of the retrieved spatial coordinates.

A system and method are described that enables mobile devices (e.g. including but not limited to a mobile phone or the like), to intercept and respond to contactless card authentication requests, allowing mobile devices to be used in place of contactless cards. Enabling mobile phone devices to emulate contactless cards decreases issues related to lost or damaged cards, enabling a single device to be used to provide tokens related to multiple different contactless cards, and leverages functionality of the mobile device to provide dual-factor authentication.

In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises processing circuitry to: receive wireless signal data corresponding to an RFID tag, wherein the wireless signal data comprises signal strength data and signal phase data corresponding to wireless signals transmitted by the RFID tag and received by an RFID reader; generate decomposed signal strength data based on a seasonal decomposition of the signal strength data; generate a frequency-phase curve based on the signal phase data; extract a set of signal strength features based on the decomposed signal strength data; extract a set of signal phase features based on the frequency-phase curve; and detect a motion state of the RFID tag using a machine learning classifier, wherein the machine learning classifier is trained to detect the motion state based on the set of signal strength features and the set of signal phase features.

An airline baggage management system includes a boarding reception device; a loading reception device; and a server. The boarding reception device outputs a baggage tag with an RF tag in which tag information is recorded, the tag information including at least one of a user ID, a boarding pass ID, and a baggage ID. The loading reception device includes: a loading reader unit that performs wireless communication with the RF tag of the baggage tag attached to the baggage has arrived at the loading position to read the tag recorded in the RF tag; an information generating unit generates loading position-related information, which is related to a position in the scheduled boarding plane at which the baggage whose tag information has been read by the loading reader unit is to be loaded; and a loading transmission unit transmits the tag information and the loading position-related information to the server.

A device for detecting freshness of a perishable item is provided. The device includes at least one sensor for detecting an analyte of interest in the perishable item. The device further includes an integrated circuit for converting information detected by the sensor into a signal. The device also includes an antenna portion for receiving and transmitting the signal from the integrated circuit. The at least one sensor, integrated circuit and antenna portion are printed on a single sheet such that the device is unitary.

A system for performing payment transactions includes a wearable payment device, such as a finger ring worn by a user, that communicates payment data to a payment reader that uses the payment data in order to request a payment transaction. The system also includes a mobile communication device that receives an input associated with the payment transaction from the user and wirelessly transmits information to the wearable payment device based on the input. The wearable payment device can use the information from the mobile communication device for performing the payment transaction and transmit at least a portion of the information from the mobile communication device to the payment reader during the payment transaction.

A method is performed by using a master smart scale with a master-slave mode, a remote communication device and a slave smart scale to manage multiple chemicals from a remote place. The master smart scale performs an initialization procedure to obtain an initial weight of one chemical; generate an identification information by reading a radio frequency tag of the chemical; use the identification information to inform the remote communication device to open an input page for users to input a basic information into the master smart scale; and mark the basic information and the initial weight with the identification information. In the master-slave mode, the master smart scale allows receiving the information of the chemical from its slave smart scale. For inquiry, a specific page is opened with the remote communication device to receive and display a statistical data generated from the master smart scale.
