Card with 2D barcode

An apparatus that includes a vision system configured to capture images of two-dimensional barcodes. The apparatus further includes a processor operably coupled to the vision system and a network interface. The processor is configured to process a captured image of a two-dimensional barcode on a card to obtain card processing information, to obtain user information for a user associated with the card, and to combine the card processing information with the user information to generate a resolution request message. The network interface is configured to send the resolution request message to an institution associated with the card.

Resolving card malfunctions using card information access control

A card generating system that includes a card information database and a card processing system. The card processing system comprises an interface, a vision system, a processor, and card processing hardware. The interface is configured to receive card requests. The vision system is configured to process two-dimensional barcodes to obtain card feature data. The processor is operably coupled to the interface, the vision system, and card processing hardware. The processor is configured to select a card comprising a two-dimensional barcode based on the card request and to obtain a card data file corresponding with the card request. The processor is further configured to compare card feature data to the card data file and to determine whether the card feature data corresponds with the card data file. The card processing hardware is configured to process the card in response a determining the card feature data corresponds with the card data file.

Card issuance using card feature verification

A device/object is paired to one or more communication devices for the purpose of activating and/or deactivating the device/object. Such activation of the device/object requires that the paired devices be in concurrent possession of the user (i.e., within a specified range of the user) and that, while in concurrent possession of the user, communicate information from the device/object to the communication device. Thus, the invention provides for additional security, in that two or more devices must in the possession of the user (or within the specified range of the user), and communicating with one another, in order for one of the paired devices to be in activated state.
