A method of configuring a contactless communication device is provided. The contactless communication device includes integrated circuits hosting at least two applications compatible with different communication protocols or the same communication protocol and using different communication parameters and a contactless communication circuit. The method includes stopping, by the contactless communication circuit, the transmission of answers of the contactless communication device to requests transmitted by a proximity coupling reader during a transaction initiated by the reader to cause the initiation by the reader of a new transaction.

A card for storing both emergency information and payment information is disclosed. The card can be used by an emergency responder to retrieve emergency information for the user. The emergency information can enable the emergency responder to better render aid to the user. The card can have one or more processors, a sensor, and a memory in communication with the one or more processors and storing an application thereon. The application can cause the card to receive a request from a user device (e.g., from an emergency medical technician, or EMT) to access emergency information stored in the memory, transmit a security challenge to the user device, authenticate a received response to the security challenge from the user device, and transmit the emergency information to the user device.

The present invention provides systems, devices and methods for dynamic communication of overtly and covertly data sections in a message, wherein the covertly data may be selectively manipulated by the sender of the message and wherein the dynamic communication includes creation of one or more subgroups.

There is provided an information processing apparatus, comprising: a processor, configured to: receive image data from a camera; cause a display to display the image data while the image data is being received from the camera; cause the display to display a first frame to guide a user to place a living face of the user in a first predetermined shooting area of the camera; cause the display to display a second frame to guide a user to place a non-living target object in a second predetermined shooting area of the camera; instruct, in response to a determination that the living face is not placed as guided, the user to place the living face as guided; and instruct, in response to a determination that the target object is not placed as guided, the user to place the target object as guided.

An RFID-based item tracking system may use statistical methods to determine whether a tag or tagged item that does not respond when inventoried is present in a particular zone or reader antenna field-of-view. In one embodiment, the item tracking system may determine an observability of an item based on one or more initial trials. Upon not detecting the item in one or more subsequent trials, the item tracking system may estimate whether the item is still present based on the observability.

The present disclosure relates to a near field communication connection method of a continuous glucose monitoring system. A near field communication connection method of a continuous glucose monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include the steps of: acquiring connection information about a body attachment unit, which is attached to a human body and continuously monitors blood glucose, in order to connect communication between the body attachment unit and a communication terminal; using an identifier of the body attachment unit in the connection information to search for and select a body attachment unit matching the identifier of the body attachment unit from a device that can be communicatively connected to the communication terminal; and using an identification number of the body attachment unit in the connection information to connect communication between the selected body attachment unit and the communication terminal. According to the present invention, the body attachment unit of a continuous glucose monitor and a communication terminal are communicatively connected using the Bluetooth communication specification. Here, an image recognition code can be used to input the identification number of the body attachment unit to the communication terminal in order to establish the communicative connection, and thus the present invention has the effect of allowing the communicative connection between the body attachment unit and the communication terminal to be established more intuitively.

A product with packaging includes an envelope having a cavity. An NFC chip may be embedded in the packaging. The NFC chip may be passive, and may connect to the electronic device of the specific user, and once connected may initiate or carry out an authentication process or activation process.

Methods and systems for a product-as-a-service. One aspect includes a product-as-a-service system comprising a server computing device. The server computing device stores information associated with a connected device, the information including at least a claim code, and upon receipt of the claim code and an application identifier of an application to be associated with the connected device, associates the connected device with the application and facilitates interactions between the connected device and the application. The server computing device includes a server operating environment that provides one or more Internet of Things (IoT) services for interacting with the connected devices, and subscriber access to the one or more IoT services. The product-as-a-service system can be decoupled from the subscriber access to the one or more IoT services. The product-as-a-service system can be instantiated with a single action. The product-as-a-service system can also be instantiated using a structured template.

An air-gapped system enables the secure transfer and control of digital assets, such as those associated with crypto-currency. The system includes an Integration Server for receiving requests from an application interface, a Central Control Center for verifying the requests received and authorizing the requests using digital signatures, and multiple Distributed Data Centers, each including a cold Data Center Hardware Security Module (DC HSM). These DC HSMs securely store and manage cryptographic keys. Each Data Center also includes an offline Processing Unit coupling its DC HSM to a dedicated Remote Controlled Server. The Remote Controlled Server receives requests from the Integration Server and forwards them to the Processing Unit of a DC HSM using a Near-Field Communication (NFC) Interface between the two. Preferably, the NFC interface is physically shielded to resist side channel attacks.

The present invention discloses a system for managing rechargeable batteries to provide power to electrical vehicles. The system comprises a plurality of charging stations each if the intelligent charger includes at least an intelligent battery charger for charging the rechargeable batteries. The intelligent battery chargers further comprises a battery diagnostic detector for detecting and storing data of designated battery health management parameters. The intelligent battery chargers further comprises a transmitter for transmitting the data of the designated battery health management parameters as wireless signals to a networked server in a battery management center.
