There are an updating method of an electronic tag and an update system of the electronic tag performed by the electronic tag which displays sorting information, and a controller and an access point disposed inside a vehicle such as a truck. The controller requests an external server to transmit information on the electronic tag, and the sorting information corresponding to information on a parcel to which the electronic tag is fixed, and transmits the obtained sorting information to the access point. Further, the access point transmits the sorting information to the electronic tag, and the electronic tag updates the display of the sorting information. In this manner, the electronic tag can be updated by using an idle time during delivery.

A multi-function transaction card may include a card body having dimensions that are in accordance with a standard for transaction cards, an output device on the card body, and a secure element within the card body. The multi-function transaction card may pair, via a wireless connection, the multi-function transaction card with a terminal. The multi-function transaction card may receive, from the terminal, information associated with a transaction. The multi-function transaction card may generate, based on the information associated with the transaction, and using a cryptographic key, an authorization request cryptogram (ARQC), wherein the cryptographic key is stored in the secure element. The multi-function transaction card may generate, based on the ARQC, a machine-readable code. The multi-function transaction card may display, using the output device, the machine-readable code.

Typically, online transactions, such as online purchases of products or services require entering sensitive transaction information into a third-party web browser or application. This may expose sensitive transaction information to an increased risk of inadvertent disclosure. Apparatus and methods are provided for a smart card which enables users to securely complete online transactions without entering any sensitive transaction information into a third-party system. Vendor websites may be configured to generate a unique code identifying the vendor offering the product/service, the product/service and price of the product/service. The smart card includes a keypad for entering the unique code and completing payment for the desired product/service. The smart card will include a microprocessor and wireless interface. The wireless interface provides wireless communication capabilities and the ability to initiate online payments based on information captured by the keypad.

A method and system for communicating estimated blood loss parameters of a patient to a user, the method comprising: receiving data representative of an image, of a fluid receiver; automatically detecting a region within the image associated with a volume of fluid received at the fluid receiver, the volume of fluid including a blood component; calculating an estimated amount of the blood component present in the volume of fluid based upon a color parameter represented in the region, and determining a bias error associated with the estimated amount of the blood component; updating an analysis of an aggregate amount of the blood component and an aggregate bias error associated with blood loss of the patient, based upon the estimated amount of the blood component and the bias error; and providing information from the analysis of the aggregate amount of the blood component and the aggregate bias error, to the user.

Systems and methods for secure and efficient transaction resolution and execution are provided. A method may include capturing, via a camera embedded in a smart card, an image of an object. The object may be associated with one of a plurality of service categories. The method may include processing the image and determining the service category, from the plurality of service categories, which is associated with the object. The method may also include determining a service provider that provides the service of the service category for a user associated with the smart card, and determining a monetary balance owed by the user to the service provider for the service. The method may also include executing a payment, via a wireless communication element that is embedded in the smart card, in the amount of the monetary balance, from an account associated with the user to the service provider.

A card is provided, such as a credit card or security card, that may transmit information to a magnetic stripe reader via a magnetic emulator. The emulator may transmit the information serially in order to reduce the amount of circuitry needed to emulate a particular block of information. Additionally, for example, a serial encoder may send any amount of information through a single emulation segment. Such a magnetic emulator may be provided on a credit card. A dynamic credit card number may be provided by, for example, coding a number with a different coding scheme for different periods of time. The magnetic emulator may be utilized to transmit a particular coded number for a particular period of time. In this manner, a dynamic credit card number may be provided such that to help secure, and progress, a payment transaction.

A payment card (e.g., credit and/or debit card) is provided with a magnetic emulator operable of communicating information to a magnetic stripe reader. Information used in validating a financial transaction is encrypted based on time such that a validating server requires receipt of the appropriate encrypted information for a period of time to validate a transaction for that period of time. Such dynamic information may be communicated using such an emulator such that a card may be swiped through a magnetic stripe reader—yet communicate different information based on time. An emulator may receive information as well as communicate information to a variety of receivers (e.g., an RFID receiver).

A Smart Campus Security Shield System comprising a Smart Student ID Card, wherein the card comprises a set of sensors inside the Smart Student ID Card. The set of sensors send a crime alert through a wireless network to a cloud server. The cloud server memory comprises a student crime alert model which describes the crime alert severity, student ID number, name, location, date, time, and a set of details of the student, so that the student risk control model can generate a plurality of corrective actions and preventive actions for each individual student. The crime alerts personalized and adaptive machine learning method presents a set of customized corrective actions and preventive actions to a student, based on at least one student attribute data. A set of student safety performance statistics is used to generate an optimal safety management strategy for the school security staff to reduce school crime.

Wait times at ATMs may undermine the utility of these self-service machines. ATMs are configured to provide faster self-service kiosks that allow users to quickly perform common financial transactions. However, it has been increasing common for users to have to wait on a line to access an ATM. Apparatus and methods are provided for a smart card that stages transactions by capturing the amount, pin and other necessary information on the smart card itself, before the user begins interacting with the ATM. Information captured by the smart card may be transferred to ATM when the smart card is inserted into ATM. The user does not provide the ATM with any additional information after inserted the smart card into the ATM, thereby improving the transaction processing efficiency of the ATM and enhancing user satisfaction.
