Communication, authentication, and/or validation may be required in various types of device interactions. For example, for some types of device functions, user or device authentication may be required to confirm that the function can and should be performed. Authentication information may be communicated and authentication and/or validation may be performed using LoRaWAN signaling. LoRaWAN signaling provides low power and long-range communication capabilities to efficiently and effectively perform authentication processes. In some arrangements, LoRaWAN signals may be generated by both a first device (e.g., a user device) and a second device (e.g., a function-performing device) and subsequently compared to determine whether they correspond. This correspondence may provide the requisite authentication or validation of the first device and/or an associated user.

Communication, authentication, and validation using LoRaWAN protocol

Device information may be obtained using LoRaWAN communications. A device information request may be generated and transmitted by a user device and include request parameters such as a device type for which information is desired, a type of information requested, a geographic range for the request, and the like and/or combinations thereof. Device information requests may also be propagated or repeated by intermediary devices to achieve the desired request range. Accordingly, a recipient device of the original request may propagate or repeat, using LoRaWAN, a request signal if it determines that the request range has not been met. If the request range has been met, the recipient device might not repeat the request.

System and method for determining device status using LoRaWAN

Information-security LoRa-wave sensing is used to protect ATMs with LoRa modulator with spread-spectrum modulation techniques and/or transparent laser-guided systems 3D image generation to scan/monitor ATM card slots and ATM keypads for skimmers, fake keypads, etc. Sensor(s) with a DCNN/StNet-based algorithm are trained on 3D dimensions for card slot and keypad. Normal vs. detected constant weight of the keypad as well as weight distribution when keys are depressed are detected. Normal vs. disrupted signals based on the foregoing are observed and used to detect unauthorized objects. NB-IoT LoRa-waves initiate an alarm process. Additional features, functionality, and details are disclosed.

Detection of unauthorized objects on ATM

Transactions may be performed using a mobile device such as a user-wearable device using LoRaWAN protocol to minimize power consumption while maximizing communication range. Transaction information may be stored in the user-wearable device and transmitted to a transaction processing device using LoRaWAN communications. Transaction information may include user-specific information, payment information, merchant information, product information, user preference information and the like. In some instances, the only communication interface (or wireless communication interface) provided in the mobile device is a LoRaWAN communication interface.

Mobile device transaction processing system and method using LoRaWAN communications

Transactions between entities may be validated using LoRaWAN communications to more quickly process those transactions. In the example of check depositing, a first entity associated with a check payee may transmit a check clearance request to a second entity associated with a check payor using LoRaWAN communications. The LoRaWAN signaling and communications may be performed between devices within LoRaWAN range. For example, a check depositing device may receive a check deposit where the payor is associated with a different financial institution or entity. Accordingly, the check depositing device may communicate with another device associated with the payor institution or entity using LoRaWAN signals to confirm check clearance.
