Systems and methods monitor loading of cargo onto a transport vehicle to avoid incorrect cargo loading incidents. A wireless monitoring device positioned near an access port of a cargo hold of the transport vehicle receives a tracking identifier of a wireless tracking tag attached to a logistic container containing the cargo as the logistic container is conveyed into the cargo hold. An alert is generated by the wireless monitoring device when the tracking identifier is not listed in a manifest listing identifiers of wireless tracking tags attached to logistic containers expected to be loaded into the cargo hold. Within the cargo hold, the wireless tracking tags may also exchange their tracking identifiers such that any one of the wireless tracking tags may determine, by counting, when less than a target threshold number of wireless tracking tags are present.

A dynamic transaction card including: one or more light emitting elements; a transceiver; and an embedded microprocessor configured to: receive, from a transaction terminal, a location information corresponding to a current location of the transaction terminal; wirelessly transmit, via the transceiver and to a mobile device, the location information; receive an indication that a location-specific security concern exists; and in response to receiving the indication, control the one or more light emitting elements to display a visual indication corresponding to the location-specific security concern.

A transaction or identification card has a width, a length, and at least one planar surface extending across the width and length. The card includes a dynamic feature including an actuator having an inactivated position and an activated position, wherein the inactivated position has at least one reversible difference from the activated position relative to the planar surface of the card.

The instant disclosure describes vehicle centric logistics management systems and methods that leverage the unique positions of shipping vehicles to improve supply chain performance. In some example, vehicles are equipped with improved wireless sensing technologies that facilitate the ability to manage inventories in realtime. In addition, the pervasive presence of shipping vehicles across supply chains enables vehicle centric collection and analysis of local data to improve realtime decision-making.

Systems and methods are described for securely monitoring a shipping container for an environmental anomaly using elements of a wireless node network of sensor-based ID nodes disposed within the container and a command node associated with the container. The method has the command node identifying which of the ID nodes are confirmed as trusted sensors based upon a security credential specific to each of the ID nodes; monitoring only the confirmed ID nodes for sensor data broadcast those ID nodes; detecting the anomaly based upon the sensor data from at least one of the confirmed ID nodes; automatically generating an alert notification related to the detected environmental anomaly for the shipping container; and transmitting the alert notification to the external transceiver to initiate a mediation response related to the detected environmental anomaly.

A vehicle identification card is provided to an insured that includes proof of automotive insurance information and charge account information. The card may include an insurance policy covering the insured's vehicle, the VIN number of the vehicle, and other information about the vehicle such as the vehicle's make and model. The card may include account information that allows the card to be used like a credit card. The card may further include means for wirelessly updating information and providing a display to the user, which includes, but is not limited to, a housing, a memory module, a processor, one or more displays, and a power source.

An electronic tracking tag that attaches a battery to the tag's circuitry by folding over a portion of the flexible PCB on top of the battery to secure it between two conductive pads. This configuration eliminates the need for a battery holder, thereby reducing weight, cost, and thickness and enabling a label containing the electronics to be fed through a printer without damaging the circuit. The battery may be attached to conductive pads using a conductive adhesive such as a conductive tape, avoiding the use of rigid or brittle tabs or epoxies that may break under the stress of going through the printer. An illustrative configuration with the electronic components, the battery, the fold-over battery attachment, and a label front and liner backing may be less than 2100 micrometers thick.

A mobile terminal including a wireless communication unit configured to provide wireless communication; a display; and a back cover mounted to a rear surface of a body of the mobile terminal. Further, the back cover includes an accommodation unit formed on one surface of the back cover, and configured to accommodate a card inserted into the accommodation unit; a coil configured to convert an electric signal from the card into a magnetic signal to be transmitted to a payment machine; and a data terminal electrically connected to the coil, disposed at a position contacting a corresponding data terminal of the card inserted into the accommodation unit and configured to transfer the electrical signal from the card to the coil.

Examples described herein describe a battery charger for a transaction card. According to some implementations, a charging device may detect a transaction card is received within a charging slot when an integrated circuit (IC) chip of the transaction card is in contact with a charging terminal; request a user device to provide power to charge the transaction card via the charging terminal, wherein the user device is communicatively coupled to the charging terminal; receive the power from the user device; and provide the power to the transaction card to charge a battery of the transaction card.
