20160092862 | SYSTEM FOR CONDUCTING TRANSACTIONS INDEPENDENT OF POINT OF SALE SYSTEM - A system that allows for conducting merchant transactions independent of a POS system. The system employs both a merchant venue-specific website and a mobile app. A customer at the merchant venue logs into the website with his or her mobile phone, and the mobile app is automatically notified of the login. The venue keeps track of the customer's total bill amount in any way, and enters it into the mobile app, which in turn updates the website with the total amount owed. The customer can then pay his or her bill through the website, via his/her phone. In this manner, a quick and easy payment system is implemented, allowing users to pay with the card or payment method of their choice, without need for a POS system and without need for downloading or installing any additional software on their mobile device. | 03-31-2016 |

20080285802 | TAILGATING AND REVERSE ENTRY DETECTION, ALARM, RECORDING AND PREVENTION USING MACHINE VISION - Unauthorized entry into controlled access areas using tailgating or reverse entry methods is detected using machine vision methods. Camera images of the controlled area are processed to identify and track objects in the controlled area. In a preferred embodiment, this processing includes 3D surface analysis to distinguish and classify objects in the field of view. Feature extraction, color analysis, and pattern recognition may also be used for identification and tracking of objects. Integration with security monitoring and control systems provides notification when a tailgating or reverse entry event has occurred. More reliable operation in practical circumstances is thus obtained, such as when multiple people are using an entrance or exit under variable light and shadow conditions. Electronic access control systems may further be combined with the machine vision methods of the invention to more effectively prevent tailgating or reverse entry. | 11-20-2008 |
