20140331124 | METHOD FOR MAINTAINING COMMON DATA ACROSS MULTIPLE PLATFORMS - Systems and methods are described for maintaining a user's common data across multiple platforms. The common data is information about the user and graphical and design elements of publications that should be consistently presented across online, other electronic, and non-electronic platforms, such as websites, social networking profiles, electronic and printed business listings, email and print newsletters, business cards, letterhead, and the like. The common data may be stored and updated by a centralized or distributed system including one or more servers communicating with the platforms and with a content database that retains the common data in a stored data structure. The system may provide an interface to the user, receive common data elements input by the user, add the common data elements to the stored data structure, and distribute the common data elements to the platforms. The system may identify which platforms require which elements of the common data. | 11-06-2014 |

20140052532 | PORTABLE DEVICE WIRELESS READER AND PAYMENT TRANSACTION TERMINAL FUNCTIONALITY WITH OTHER PORTABLE DEVICES - A user accesses an application on a reader mode device, activating a reader communication mode and disabling conflicting communication modes. The reader mode device activates a radio frequency field and creates a secure communication channel with a payment device. A secure element application on the reader mode device requests and receives payment information from a payment device. The secure element application on the reader mode device decrypts the payment information and requests account verification from the user. The secure element application on the reader mode device receives input from the user and verifies the payment information. In response to verifying the account information, the secure element application on the reader mode device encrypts the payment information and transmits it to a payment processing system. The payment processing system processes the payment transaction and transmits a notice of approved or declined transaction to the reader mode device. | 02-20-2014 |
20140052620 | WIRELESS READER AND PAYMENT TRANSACTION TERMINAL FUNCTIONALITY WITHIN A PORTABLE DEVICE - A user accesses an application on a reader mode device, activating a reader communication mode and disabling conflicting communication modes.

20140089196 | SECURING PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS FOR MOBILE PAYMENT APPLICATIONS BY COMBINING WITH RANDOM COMPONENTS - Systems and methods can secure personal identification numbers associated with secure elements within mobile devices. A host application of the mobile device can receive a personal identification number (PIN) or user PIN from a user. The application can generate one or more random PIN components. The application can compute a PIN for the secure element based upon the user PIN and each of the one or more random components. The SE can be configured using the PIN computed for the secure element. Each of the one or more random components may be stored in one or more distinct, diverse locations. In addition to entering the correct user PIN, each of the one or more random components must be retrieved from the diverse locations in order to reconstruct the PIN for the secure element whenever performing a transaction using the secure element. | 03-27-2014 |
