Abstract: A payment module with one or more processors, memory, a short-range wireless transceiver (e.g., BLE), and a first interface module configured to couple the payment module with a control unit of an offline-payment operated machine that includes a coin receiving switch. The payment module receives a transaction request via the short-range wireless transceiver from a respective mobile device to perform a transaction with the offline-payment operated machine. In accordance with receiving the request, the payment module causes the offline-payment operated machine to perform the requested transaction by issuing one or more electronic pulses emulating one or more signals issued by the coin receiving switch to perform the transaction to the control unit of the offline-payment operated machine via the first interface module.

Abstract: A device with one or more processors, memory, and two or more communication capabilities obtains, from a payment module, an authorization request via a first communication capability (e.g., Bluetooth). The device sends, to a server, the authorization request via a second communication capability distinct from the first communication capability (e.g., cellular or WiFi technology). In response to sending the authorization request, the device obtains, from the server, authorization information via the second communication capability. After obtaining the authorization information, the device detects a trigger condition to perform a transaction with a payment accepting unit associated with the payment module. In response to detecting the trigger condition, the device sends, to the payment module, at least a portion of the authorization information via the first communication capability.

Abstract: A device with one or more processors, memory, and two or more communication capabilities obtains, from a payment module, advertised information via a first communication capability (e.g., BLE) at least including an authorization code. The device sends, to a server, at least the authorization code from the advertised information via a second communication capability (e.g., GSM, CDMA, Wi-Fi, etc.) distinct from the first communication capability. After the sending, the device obtains, from the server, authorization information via the second communication capability at least including an authorization grant token. After obtaining the authorization information, the device detects a trigger condition to perform a first transaction with a payment accepting unit (e.g., an automatic retailing machine for dispensing goods and/or services) associated with the payment module. In response to detecting the trigger condition, the device sends, to the payment module, the authorization grant token via the first communication capability.

Abstract: A payment module includes: one or more processors, memory, a first interface module configured to couple the payment module with a control unit of an offline-payment operated machine, and a short-range communication capability for communicating with one or more mobile devices each including a complimentary short-range communication capability and a long-range communication capability. The payment module receives a transaction request via the short-range communication capability from a mobile device to perform a transaction with the offline-payment operated machine. The payment module validates the transaction request to verify that the mobile device is authorized to initiate payment for the transaction by a remote server via the long-range communication capability. In accordance with a determination that the transaction request is valid, the payment module causes the offline-payment operated machine to perform the requested transaction by issuing a signal, via the first interface module, to the control unit to perform the transaction.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for tool activation and display cabinet locking. In one aspect, a method for activating a product is performed at the product. The product includes a power supply, a controller, a persistent memory coupled to the controller, and a radio module. The product is configured to be operable in a plurality of states, and a state of the product is in an inactivated state. The method includes receiving via the radio module an activation message and an authorization token. The method includes attempting to validate the authorization token based on a preset authorization information and the state of the product. The method includes, (i) when the validation is not successful, rejecting the activation message without changing the state of the product; and (ii) when the validation is successful, changing the state of the product from the inactivated state to an activated state.

Abstract: A mobile device presents representations of payment accepting unit events on a display, by identifying a payment accepting unit that is available to accept payment, displaying a visual indication of the payment accepting unit, and accepting user input to receive selection of the payment accepting unit and trigger payment, establishing a wireless communication path including the mobile device and the payment accepting unit, enabling user interaction with the user interface to complete the transaction, exchanging information with the available payment accepting unit via the one or more radio transceivers in conjunction with the transaction, and displaying an updated user interface of the mobile payment application.
