There are provided systems and methods for automated data tokenization through networked sensors. A network of data sensors may detect that a user is likely to engage in electronic transaction processing with a merchant device, for example, based on an action performed by the user and/or with a user device. One or more of the sensors may connect with the user's device and retrieve financial data from the device and/or data necessary to issue a token to the device for transaction processing. The sensor may perform a background process to issue the token to the device, and once onboarded, may store the token to the user's device and/or the merchant device that the user is likely to interact with for transaction processing. The token may be limited in use by location and/or amount, or may be used to fully onboard the user with the token service provider.

Systems and methods for providing accounting using an event network model are provided. Event data is received from one or more event recorders representing the occurrence of an event. Said event data comprises an actor, a location, and a time of the event. Each event is stored at a central repository, associated with an initiator and a terminator, and connected to at least one stored event.

System and method for composite-key based blockchain device control, where the composite-key is created from control codes and a unique identification key. The control codes are used to control the blockchain device. The system uses the controlling system that can create controlling data. The system uses controlling data to control blockchain devices. The controlling data is used in conjunction with data in the blockchain. The system has methods for integrating with smart contracts to make execution of blockchain device depend on the smart contract. The system can be used for controlling financial activity, movement activity, asset activity, device activity, game activity. The system has methods for coupling controlling system with blockchain devices. The system has mechanisms to make blockchain device execution depend on the signature.

A method and system for authorizing card account transactions by geographic region by providing data for a user interface displaying geographic regions and merchant locations each corresponding to the location of a merchant where a transaction using a card account may be initiated, receiving a user interface selection representing a request to authorize or restrict card account transactions, receiving authorization requests for desired transactions, and authorizing or restricting the transactions in accordance with the request.

Images are captured of a customer during a transaction at a transaction terminal along with images associated with items of the transaction and any bags or cart used to hold the items. The images are processed to track any movement and locations of the customer, items, bags, and cart relative to a known location of the transaction terminal. When a transaction payment is required for the transaction and movement is detected in a direction that is moving away from the transaction terminal before a payment notification is received for the transaction, one or more alerts are raised as an indication to staff and/or security systems of a potential in-progress walk-away theft.

An embodiment includes a method executed by at least one processor comprising: determining inventories for first and second times for a first vending machine (VM); determining inventories for first and second times for a second VM; determining inventories for first and second times for a third VM; and determining a service route to visit the first and second VMs on a specific date, and to specifically avoid visiting the third VM on the specific date, in response to determining the inventories for the second times for the first, second, and third VMs. Other embodiments are described herein.

A method for authentication using location correlation is disclosed. The method includes determining geographic zones and zone identifiers associated with a location of a mobile communication device. Later, transaction data is received and a zone identifier is determined from that transaction data. If the zone identifier matches one of the previously determined zone identifiers, then a match indicator is sent to an authorizing entity computer system or the transaction may be allowed to proceed.

There are provided systems and methods for location-based embedded patterns for vehicle detection and data processing. A user's device, which may be connected to or associated with a vehicle may include a directional camera capable of capturing images in a direction for a directional perspective of the vehicle, such as a front, side, or back. The image captured may have an embedded pattern or code that is associated with data that may decoded or retrievable using the embedded pattern. The vehicle's device may utilize the code to determine the data and may activate a process for an application based on the data. In some embodiments, the data may also be loaded to the process or may cause the process to load or retrieve other data. The vehicle's device may utilize the process based on a location of the vehicle, as well as services provided at the location.

A real estate futures smart contract is established and offered via a GUI on an electronic display of a user device and carried by a distributed ledger. The futures contract may be offered for sale on an electronic exchange. The smart contract may carry a price indexed to a real estate futures price schedule.

The present disclosure relates to the field of shared bicycles, and particularly relates to a heartbeat control system for shared bicycles. The heartbeat control system may include a server configured to divide an area that includes the shared bicycles into a plurality of parking zones based on a virtual map and determine an off-peak period and a peak period of each of the plurality of parking zones, and a lock control device mounted on one of the shared bicycles. The lock control device may include a network module that is periodically actuated by the lock control device. The lock control device may be configured to obtain, based on a parking zone of the shared bicycle, an off-peak period and a peak period corresponding to the parking zone, and extend an actuation frequency during the off-peak period.
