Abstract: A system for facilitating a software update is provided. The system includes a payment terminal, a mobile device, and a remote server. The payment terminal displays, via a screen, a QR code. The QR code includes terminal data corresponding to the payment terminal. The mobile device captures the QR code displayed on the payment terminal, generates an update initiation command based at least in part on the terminal data of the QR code, and transmits the update initiation command. The remote server receives the update initiation command transmitted by the mobile device and transmits a software package to the mobile device in response to receiving the update initiation command. The mobile device then transmits, via a wired or wireless connection, the software package to the payment terminal. The payment terminal then installs the software package.

Abstract: Systems and methods for alternative payment mechanism payments using ultra-wideband radio technology are disclosed. A method may include a payment terminal computer program executed by a payment terminal selecting a customer electronic device that is conducting the payment transaction with the payment terminal; communicating, via a payment terminal UWB radio to the selected customer electronic device, payment transaction details for the payment transaction comprising a merchant identifier and a transaction amount; receiving, from the selected customer electronic device via the payment terminal UWB radio, an APM payment message for an APM payment provider; communicating the APM payment message to the APM payment provider, wherein the APM payment provider is configured to decision the transaction based on the APM payment message; and receiving, from the APM payment provider, a payment confirmation for the payment transaction.

Abstract: A method for electronic receipt transfer via ultra-wideband electronic (UWB) radio technology may include: causing, by a payment terminal computer program, an UWB radio to transmit a range request signal from a first antenna; receiving, by the payment terminal computer program and one or more customer electronic devices, a pair of replies to the range request signal, each comprising a first reply signal received at the first antenna and a second reply signal received at a second antenna; determining, by the payment terminal computer program, a distance between the UWB radio and each customer electronic device based on a time of flight; selecting, by the payment terminal computer program, the customer electronic devices having the distance that is closest to the UWB radio; and communicating, by the payment terminal computer program, an electronic receipt for a transaction to the selected customer electronic device.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for detecting unauthorized devices at transaction devices are disclosed. A method for detecting an unauthorized device in a card slot of a transaction device may include inserting a card slot insert into a card slot for a transaction device, wherein the card slot insert has a width and thickness based on a manufactured width and thickness of the transaction device, and comprises a first indicator indicating that the card slot is secure and a second indicator indicating that the card slot is not secure. When the card slot insert is inserted to a manufactured depth of the card slot, the first indicator is visible outside the card slot, and the second indicator is not visible outside the card slot. When an object is in the card slot, the first indicator and at least a portion of the second indicator are visible outside the card slot.
