Abstract: A method for beacon device-based customer notifications is provided. The method is implemented by a computing device including a processor. The method includes receiving, from a beacon device, a beacon device advertisement that includes a universally unique identifier (UUID), a major identifier, and a minor identifier. The method also includes identifying, based on at least one of the UUID, the major identifier, and the minor identifier, that the beacon device is associated with an agent location, where the agent location is corresponds to a bill payment and money transfer facility. The method further includes generating a payment notification for display on the computing device, where the payment notification includes payment data and agent location data, receiving, from a user, an instruction to prepare to make a payment at the agent location, and causing the agent location to stage the payment for completion by the user.

Abstract: An information management method includes invoking a client environment hosted on a client machine. The client environment is registered with a discovery machine coupled to the client machine by a network. A server machine coupled to the network registers with the discovery machine. A host environment of the client environment on the server machine registers with the discovery machine upon an indication that the server machine has a communication for the client environment. A direct link is established between the client machine and the server machine and the communication is delivered from the server machine to the client machine.

Abstract: An automated merchandising dispenser that forms an integral part of an automated merchandising system is disclosed. A dispenser enables a consumer to immediately locate and obtain desired items that may be customized according to at least size, color, and style. Inventory for a particular item is categorized and identified with a machine readable identifier. The machine readable identifier includes information identifying the item and customization criteria, such as size, color, and style. The consumer, via a user interface, enters criteria for the particular desired item and the merchandising dispenser searches inventory categorized using the machine readable identifier. Available inventory may immediately be dispensed to the consumer, either locally or to a remote location. The consumer may be immediately notified of out of stock items and may be offered alternative items or alternative purchasing modes. Inventory may be segregated and local to dispensers or may be centralized and routed to dispensers.

Abstract: A two-part money order dispenser for printing alphanumeric indicia on preprinted money order forms includes a terminal having a keyboard for operating the dispenser and a card swipe device for reading information from a magnetic card packaged with a bundle of blank preprinted money order forms for automatic entry of the forms-related information into a memory associated with the terminal when loading the forms into the dispenser. A printer having a memory association therewith is connected to the terminal for communicating with the terminal information allowing access to the printer through an encrypted password and communication of information necessary for printing money orders. Bit-mapped graphical and alphanumeric information routinely printed is stored within the printer. Multilevel security codes having definable privileges associated therewith, a program generated security font, and a blank form retraction feature provided security against altered or counterfeit money orders. The configuration of the two-part dispenser further allows efficient utilization of limited or crowded counter space. The printer of the dispenser has an L-shaped configuration to facilitate its mounting at any convenient location.
