Researchers Submit Patent Application, "Systems And Methods For Validating Travel Documents In Hybrid Optical / Bluetooth Low Energy Mode", for Approval (USPTO 20250021990).

Researchers have submitted a patent application for a system that validates travel documents using a hybrid optical/Bluetooth Low Energy mode. The system aims to address limitations of QR code-based validation systems by using Bluetooth Low Energy to securely exchange data between the user's smartphone and the validator device. This innovative approach enhances security and prevents fraudulent activities such as cloning of QR codes, providing a more reliable method for validating travel documents.
