A computing system for remotely activating a transaction device including at least one memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to receive, from a mobile device, a transaction device identifier, receive, from the transaction device, an authorization request associated with a payment account for a transaction at the transaction device, receive location information from the mobile device and location information from the transaction device in response to receiving the authorization request, compare the location information to determine whether the mobile device is in proximity to the transaction device, and upon determining that the mobile device is in proximity to the transaction device, determine an authorization status of the authorization request, and transmit a signal to activate the transaction device to complete the transaction, wherein the signal is transmitted based on the transaction device identifier.

The present disclosure describes transaction-enabling systems and methods. A system may include a smart contract wrapper configured to access a distributed ledger including a plurality of intellectual property (IP) licensing terms corresponding to a plurality of IP assets, wherein the plurality of IP assets include an aggregate stack of IP, interpret an IP description value and an IP addition request, and, in response to the IP addition request and the IP description value, to add an IP asset to the aggregate stack of IP.

A system for verifying a user device for authorizing access to a wagering portal comprising: a server system comprising at least one server, at least one database, and at least one user device; a plurality of operable rules populated on said server system wherein said operable rules are met by actions performed by scanning by the user device one or more tags positioned within a geofence within a venue; verifying an identification card or another verification data confirm age of the user; verifying a location by determining whether the scan by the user device of the first tag was within a geofence corresponding to the venue; and upon verifying the age and a location, redirecting from a server a URL or a Web app to the user device to a wagering portal.

Disclosed are various approaches for incentivizing in-person interactions and customer engagement. A computing device can receive a first indication of attendance of a user at an event and a second indication of attendance of the user at the event. The computing device can calculate an amount of time that the user attended the event. Then, the computing device can calculate an amount of reward points based at least in part on the amount of time that the user attended the event. Finally, the computing device can award the reward points to the user account of the user.

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.

Systems and methods for managing mobile payments is provided. An account issuer provides an application that is loaded onto a mobile device, which enables a consumer to pay for transactions. The mobile payment application generates a unique code. The code is read by the point of sale terminal, which is then provided to the payment management system. The payment management system contracts the account issuer and authenticates the code, thereby receiving a primary account number. Account number and transaction information is used to authorize the transaction via payment systems. The payment system accepts or declines the transaction in a response. Tokens may be generated for the account number, and value added services may be generated based upon user behaviors.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for conducting a transaction using an electronic device with a non-native credential are provided. In one embodiment, a client electronic device in a system including a credential subsystem, a processing subsystem, and a host electronic device may include an online communications component and a processor that accesses, from the processing subsystem, potential transaction data indicative of a transaction, communicates, to the host electronic device using the online communications component, credential request data based on the potential transaction data, receives, from the host electronic device using the online communications component, host credential data based on the credential request data, and communicates, to the processing subsystem, the host credential data, wherein the host credential data is operative to access funds or other suitable enabling elements from the credential subsystem for funding at least a portion of the transaction. Additional embodiments are also provided.

There are provided systems and methods for shared authentication for limited use of an associated account based on user location and connected devices. A user may own a location where another user may visit or rent. The user may have a payment account that may be used with merchants to purchase items that are associated with the location or offered with use of the location. The user may set up the payment account to have a shared authentication mechanism with other users that utilize the location to allow the other users to pay for items using the payment account. The authentication mechanism may be a credential that may be pushed to a device of one or more of the other users when the other users are at or nearby the location or may be information of the other users that may be matched during transaction processing.

An information processing apparatus according to one example embodiment is an information processing apparatus that performs a checkout process for a product or a service, and the information processing apparatus includes: a motion unit that causes the information processing apparatus to autonomously move; a detection unit configured to detect a position of a person; and a control unit that controls the motion unit in accordance with the position of the person.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable data storage apparatus provide automated identification techniques that seamlessly and accurately bridge the differences between different identification systems to enable more useful and advanced product and service offerings, such as realtime tracking of shipment location and status.
