Abstract:
Computer-implemented methods, systems and devices facilitating the methods, and computer-readable medium storing computer readable code, which, when executed, performs the methods are provided for coupon verification. The methods include receiving from a coupon verification terminal via a mobile network a verification data package based on at least an additional verification information and a verification code of a coupon, verifying whether or not the coupon is valid and has not been redeemed, and sending the verification result via the mobile network to the coupon verification terminal. The coupon verification terminal comprises an input module, a CPU configured to provide the additional verification information and to generate the verification data package by encrypting the additional verification information and the verification code, and a mobile communication module configured to, via a mobile network, send the verification data package to a verification server and receive a verification result from the verification server.
Abstract:
A process for all-optically switching an incoming optical signal having at least a data packet is provided. The data packet including at least an address bit in its header, and the process includes receiving the data packet; processing the header optically; storing the decision made during the processing of the header; and switching the whole incoming data packet dependent upon the decision.
Abstract:
Computer-implemented methods, systems and devices facilitating the methods, and computer-readable medium storing computer readable code, which, when executed, performs the methods are provided for offline coupon verification. The methods may include inputting a verification code of a coupon to a coupon verification terminal, decrypting the verification code using a terminal private key to obtain a merchant ciphertext, decrypting the merchant ciphertext using a merchant-specific server public key to obtain a purchase information corresponding to the coupon, comparing the purchase information with a database to determine whether the purchase information is correct, displaying a negative verification result if the purchase information is not correct, and displaying a positive verification result if the purchase information is correct and the coupon has not been previously consumed, registering the coupon as consumed in the database for future verifications, when or after the coupon been verified, and synchronizing the database with that of a server.
