IPC: G06Q40/02
Filed: 2014-03-11
Abstract: A mobile device obtains 303 a payment token e.g. a single use virtual card number (VCN), uses it in a transaction 305, obtains a receipt of the transaction e.g. an e-receipt using NFC or Bluetooth (RTM) or by capturing an image of a physical receipt, and associates the receipt and record of the used token 309. A master record of all tokens may be kept on the device or a separate server. The token may be presented to a merchant wirelessly or by barcode e.g. QR code. The transaction may be associated with other information provided when requesting the token such as transaction description, purpose, location and user identity. In a business context employee spending can be easily recorded for auditing and expense claims as receipts are automatically associated with payment records. If a token was not used to make a purchase a token may be assigned and recorded alongside the receipt along with an indication it was not used to make the purchase.

Title: Method and apparatus for synchronizing the display of video data on two display devices
Inventor: GUIGNARD ROMAIN
IPC: H04N7/56
Filed: 2014-05-21
Abstract: In a method and a device for synchronizing the display of video data on different display devices, a source device provides the same video data stream to the display devices through a communication network. One of the display devices (first display screen device) is provided with picture acquisition (camera) capabilities. By taking a distant picture of the second device display and comparing it with the local picture being displayed at the same (acquisition) moment or time on the first display, these images may be localized within a sequence. The time drift between the two different displays may be determined, allowing a command to modify a display timer to be provided to the source device or display itself. Precision may be improved by iterating the process with dichotomous delay applied to at least one display. Drift determination using local and distant (other display captured) images may comprise determining distance (in terms of pictures / frames) between points of interest (POI) in respective pictures; POIs may be successive predefined patterns. The first display may be the image content source, providing a form of screen mirroring between portable devices, such as tablets and mobiles, and large screen TVs or projectors.
