A method for configuring a mobile communication device to perform transactions using a second communication channel that is different from a first communication channel through which the mobile communication device sends voice data. The method includes attaching a secure element to the mobile communication device. The secure element includes a memory storing an application, a processor configured to execute the application stored in the memory; and a wireless transceiver configured to send transaction data associated with the executed application through the second communication channel to a terminal that is remote from the mobile communication device.

A method and system for obscured contact sharing is provided. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving at a first user device a request from a second user device to provide an obscured contact, wherein the obscured contact includes a plurality of information elements. The first user device receives from the second user device the obscured contact and data about obscuring at least one of the information elements of the obscured contact. Based on the data, an operating system of the first user device obscures the at least one information element from presentation by the first user device to a user while at the same time being able to use the obscured information element for a predetermined time. The operating system of the first user device removes the at least one information element from contact information storage of the first user device in response to detection of a predetermined time indicated by the second user device or a delete command from the second user device.

The present invention relates to a terminal and an operating method therefor. The terminal executes a payment function in a first screen mode in which a screen direction of the terminal is a first direction, and can display a default payment card image corresponding to the executed payment function. The terminal transmits card information corresponding to the displayed default payment card image and can recognize that the first screen mode is changed to a second screen mode in which the screen direction of the terminal is a second direction. The terminal can execute an additional function related to a payment according to the transmitted card information in the second screen mode.

A position alignment system facilitates positioning of a contactless card in a ‘sweet spot’ in a target volume relative to a contactless card reading device. Alignment logic uses information captured from available imaging devices such as infrared proximity detectors, cameras, infrared sensors, dot projectors, and the like to guide the card to a target location. The captured image information is processed to identify a card position, trajectory and predicted location using one or both of a machine learning model and/or a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping logic. Trajectory adjustment and prompt identification may be intelligently controlled and customized using machine-learning techniques to customize guidance based on the preference and/or historical behavior of the user. As a result, the speed and accuracy of contactless card alignment is improved and received NFC signal strength is maximized, thereby reducing the occurrence of dropped transactions.

According to an embodiment, an electronic device may include: a housing including a first surface and a second surface facing away from the first surface; a display at least partially accommodated in the housing and viewable through the first surface; a conductive layer disposed between the display and the second surface and including a first opening; a support disposed between the second surface and the conductive layer and including a conductive portion; and a wireless communication circuit electrically connected to the conductive layer, and configured to transmit and/or receive a signal through an antenna including at least a portion of the conductive layer surrounding the first opening.

An exemplary system, method, and computer-accessible medium can include, for example, storing on a first device a digital tag, the tag configured to be associated with at least one application on a second device, such that receipt of the tag on the second device launches the application on the second device; and emitting from the first device to a second device the digital tag; wherein the application on the second device is configured to launch in a special state when the second device is in at least one state from a pre-determined list of states.

The invention relates to an information distribution marketing ecosystem connecting eyewear, eyewear accessories, signs, stickers to present prescriptions, information or telemedicine connection capabilities based on NFC technology embedded or adapted onto products. The method and system comprising of using mobile applications to program eyeglasses or contact lenses prescriptions, weblink connection, product information, synergistic marketing, appointment scheduling links, and/or virtual audio telemedicine direct links into an NFC tag to one or more products such as signs, stickers, eyewear frames, eyewear accessories. NFC embedded products can be used in pharmacies, medical offices, optical retailer shops, department stores, or eye doctors' offices. The NFC tag on selected products and their parts helps to enable a user to use an NFC smartphone to touch the NFC tag, to reach information via centralized connection and/or decentralized connection using the internet.

The present disclosure provides a terminal device and a protective shell, and belongs to the technical field of communication. The terminal device includes a body, a first coil, a second coil and a shielding member. The body includes a rear shell. The first coil is located in the body. The second coil is located in the body and close to one side of the rear shell, and the second coil at least partially overlaps the first coil. The shielding member covers the sides, far away from the rear shell, of the first coil and the second coil, and is located outside an overlapping portion of the first coil and the second coil, and the first coil is unshielded from the second coil.

The invention relates to systems and methods to enable a mobile device to be used as a remote control, in order to control one or more remotely controllable objects. In possible embodiments of the invention, proximity-based (or other) remote controls include control authorization to enable the transfer or sharing of control between different remote controls being implemented on different mobile devices, in order to permit different users to transfer or share control of a same remotely controllable object, for example. In other possible embodiments of the invention, a proximity-based (or other) remote control uses control authentication to enable the pairing of a remote control implemented on a device and a remotely controllable object, for example. Various embodiments of control authority and control authentication are possible and anticipated by the invention to address a wide range of practical remote control applications and provide many benefits to users.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for intelligent routing of notifications of incoming voice communication requests. A device, such as a smartphone, may receive an incoming voice communication request, such as a cellular voice call. The smartphone may then identify devices connected to it, such as headsets, tablets, etc., and request each device activate a microphone or camera to attempt to locate the user with respect to the connected devices. The smartphone may then select one of the connected devices, or itself, as the device best able to notify the user of the incoming call based on captured audio, images, or video. The smartphone may then request the selected device output a notification, such as a ring tone, to notify the user of the incoming call. Such a technique may avoid inundating the user with simultaneous call notifications from multiple devices.
