A user device including near-field communication (NFC) circuitry may receive a polling message from an NFC terminal. The user device may obtain information based at least in part on the polling message. The user device may determine a characteristic of the NFC terminal based at least in part on the information. The characteristic may be indicative of a radio frequency (RF) field strength of the NFC terminal. The user device may adjust an RF setting of the NFC circuitry based at least in part on the characteristic. The RF setting may correspond to an RF sensitivity of the NFC circuitry.

Adjustment of radio frequency settings of near-field communication circuitry

Accessory devices are described herein. An accessory device may include a receptacle for receiving an electronic device. The accessory device may include a case that covers the housing of the electronic device, or a folio that additionally includes a cover can conceal the display of the electronic device. Accessory devices described herein further include wireless circuitry used to communicate with wireless circuitry in the electronic device. The wireless circuitry can be used for various functions and features. For instance, the wireless circuitry in the accessory device can respond to authentication requests from the electronic device, and/or to send authentication requests to the electronic device. Further, the wireless circuitry in the accessory device can send information to the electronic device. Such information may include properties of the accessory device, or information stored on the accessory device that is presented on a display of the electronic device.

Communication and authentication between head mounted devices and electronic devices

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for transmitting, as part of a polling loop, a value added services (VAS) command that includes capability data corresponding to a payment terminal. For example, the payment terminal can transmit a VAS command that advertises the payment terminal's capabilities as part of a polling loop. The payment terminal can listen for a response to the VAS command and, after receiving a response, the payment terminal may initiate a VAS protocol. The VAS command can also specify a mode in which the payment terminal is operating, such as a payment-only mode, a VAS mode, a payment-plus-VAS mode, etc.

Value added services polling

An embodiment includes a method to increase the efficiency of security checkpoint operations. A security checkpoint kiosk serves as a Relying Party System (RPS). The RPS establishes a secure local connection between the RPS and a User Mobile-Identification-Credential Device (UMD). The RPS sends a user information request to the UMD, via the secure local connection, seeking release of user information associated with a Mobile Identification Credential (MIC). The RPS obtains authentication of the user information received in response to the user information request. The RPS retrieves user travel information based on the user information. The RPS determines that the user travel information matches the user information. When the user travel information matches the user information, the RPS approves the user to proceed past the security checkpoint kiosk.

Accessory device with communication features

A device facilitating script deployment through service provider servers includes at least one processor configured to receive, from a service provider, a request to perform a transaction directly with a device secure element on which a credential is provisioned, where the request includes a credential identifier corresponding to the credential. The at least one processor is further configured to identify, based at least in part on the credential identifier, the device secure element. The at least one processor is further configured to verify that the service provider is authorized to interact directly with the device secure element. The at least one processor is further configured to instruct, responsive to the verifying, the device secure element to communicate directly with a service provider server to perform the transaction. The at least one processor is further configured to receive, from the device secure element, a result associated with the transaction.
