摘要： Disclosed are various aspects of a point-of-sale system, such aspects may include a computing device encased in a weather resistant shell and electronically connected to peripheral components through a controller board. The controller board may be located in a first void region of the weather resistant shell to allow protection of the electrical components from the elements. A point-of-sale system may include a power supply, wherein the power supply is in electrical connection with the controller board and in a second void region of the weather resistant shell. A point-of-sale system may include a payment device, having an EMV chip card reader, a magnetic stripe card reader, a near field communication (“NFC”) reader, wherein the payment device is in electrical communication with the controller board and in a third void region of the weather resistant shell. A point-of-sale system may also include a wireless radio module in electrical communication with the controller board and in a fourth void region of the weather resistant shell.

摘要： A card reader includes a movable upper surface platform with a lower surface platform including one or more sensors. When there is no card transaction in progress, the upper surface platform moves toward the lower surface platform and locks in place making contact with the lower surface platform. The one or more sensor indicate whether the two surfaces are in contact with one another. When the two surfaces are not in contact with one another, when the card reader is in an idle state, the card reader shuts down/disables since there is foreign object is present in the card reader's transport path, which may indicate a skimmer/shimmer was placed in the card reader.

摘要： A magnetic strip of a card is read by a card reader while the card remains stationary and motionless within the card reader. The card is parked within the card reader in a read position. A dynamic read head of the card reader moves over the strip from a trailing edge of the inserted card to a leading edge of the card and then back from the leading edge of the card to the trailing edge of the card. A rate and speed of the read head is controlled during the passes of the read head over the strip. The card data of the strip is provided to a terminal during a transaction of a customer at the terminal.

摘要： A method for detecting an object on a capacitive touch sensor of an operating terminal, wherein the object has an identifier that provides, whereby detectable information, where the identifier is detected as touch sensor data via the touch sensor and the touch sensor data is forwarded to an analysis unit, where the information of the identifier is ascertained in the analysis unit using the touch sensor data and the identifier comprises a marking, made of a conductive material, which has shapes that are connected by a connecting line, where the object is placed on the touch sensor such that the marking lies flat on the touch sensor that detects the shapes as contact points, and where the arrangement of the shapes and thus the detected contact points, provides the information.

摘要： An apparatus includes a distance sensor, an image sensor, one or more processors, and memory coupled to the one or more processors. The apparatus determines, via the distance sensor, a distance between an object and the apparatus. In accordance with a determination that the distance between the object and the apparatus is within a first distance range of a plurality of predefined distance ranges, the apparatus identifies a subset of symbology types, from a plurality of predefined symbology types, corresponding to the first distance range. The apparatus acquires one or more images of the object. The apparatus decodes the one or more images based on the identified subset of symbology types.

摘要： An optical scanner device includes at least one image capture device and a transmitter of at least one aimer beam. The scanner device determines ranging to a subject using the at least one aimer beam projected to reflect off of a surface of the subject, and detects a position of the aimer-beam reflection within an image frame captured by the image-capture device, the position being a primary indicator of a distance to the subject from the optical scanner device. A secondary indicator of the distance to the subject within the image frame in combination with the first indicator is used to help detect the aimer beam reflection against noise and detect an occurrence of an optical misalignment with possible self-correction of calibration after such misalignment.

摘要： In some examples, a system and method for pairing a payment object reader with a point-of-sale (POS) terminal is described herein. The method includes determining, by a wireless transceiver, a first value of signal strength corresponding to a current position of the payment object reader and a second value of signal strength corresponding to a new position of the payment object reader. The POS terminal then identifies the first wireless device as an intended candidate for pairing with the second wireless device based on variation in signal strength from the first value of signal strength to the second value of signal strength. Accordingly, the POS terminal establishes a wireless communication channel between the POS terminal and the payment object reader device for exchange of information. Once paired, the payment object reader allows the POS terminal to accept payments from a customer.

摘要： An omni-channel coupon system may link electronic coupons across several couponing channels by storing the electronic coupons in association with a user profile or loyalty account. A user may clip electronic coupons from several couponing channels, such as a mobile application, retail web page, social networking web page, email, short message service (SMS) message, a physical coupon, a manufacturer/third-party web page or other affiliated web page, a manufacturer/third-party application, etc. Each clipped electronic coupon may be stored with a user profile for the user. When the user purchases products or items at an online or retail store, the electronic coupons may be retrieved from the user profile and redeemed.

摘要： A method for designing and constructing a thin programmable dynamic credential card is disclosed. The thin programmable dynamic credential card may comprise multiple layers, including a top surface layer containing an opening through which a graphical display system below the top surface layer can be viewed. The graphical display system is configured to present at least one coded image. The at least one coded image is determined based at least in part on context data associated with a context of the programmable credential card.
