Abstract: Systems and methods for beverage dispensing are disclosed herein. The beverage dispensing system can receive a connection request to pair a mobile computing device with a beverage dispensing device via a network. The connection request can include an identifier that can be verified to match a current identifier associated with the beverage dispersing device. The beverage dispensing system can generate a session between the mobile computing device and the beverage dispensing device that replicates a user interface of the beverage dispensing device on the mobile computing device. The beverage dispensing system can receive inputs from the mobile computing device during the session to obtain configuration parameters for a beverage and dispense the beverage from a nozzle based on the configuration parameters.

Abstract: Described herein are a cash register and a ticket vending mechanism that require little or no merchant infrastructure resulting in dramatic cost reduction for merchants. These are made possible through a payer-centric payment paradigm where the payer—as opposed to the merchant—completes the payment transaction without depending on the merchant, resulting in increased payer convenience and payment security.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure relate to touchless dispensing techniques. A dispensing method includes providing an optical code with a first application on a first electronic device that is in communication with a dispensing machine. The method also includes creating a unique session for a purchase of the item. The optical code is configured to be disabled during the unique session. The method further includes receiving instructions to dispense at least one item from the dispensing machine via the first application on the first electronic device and a browser or a downloadable application for another electronic device. Access to the browser or the downloadable application occurs via the optical code. The method further includes dispensing at least one selected item from the dispensing machine based on information received via the browser or the downloadable application.

Abstract: Systems and methods for contactless pickup at a vending machine are provided. The systems and methods include determining that a user device is in proximity of the vending machine. The proximity is determined without the user touching an input mechanism of the vending machine. Responsive to determining the proximity, the vending machine or the user device transmits a request to vend the items included in a reservation to a management server. The management server then transmits a vend request to the vending machine which then vends the reserved items.

Abstract: Various embodiments of kiosks for purchasing mobile phones and other mobile electronic devices from users are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the kiosks include an apparatus to turn a mobile phone over on an inspection surface. This apparatus can enable the kiosk to visually inspect both the front and back sides of the mobile device on the inspection surface with an inspection system (e.g., imaging devices, lighting devices, etc.) positioned above the inspection surface, and can eliminate the need to position a second inspection system below a transparent inspection surface to visually inspect, e.g., the back side of the mobile device through the transparent inspection surface. In some embodiments, the kiosk also includes a wireless mobile phone charging device that can be used for, e.g., phone charging and identification.
