Abstract
The AUGMENTED SMART TAG SECURITY APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“ASTS”) transform video and other media inputs of POS terminals, NFC/RFID tags, QR/bar codes, and/or any associated contextual data via ASTS components into ways to validate the POS security and instructions/restrictions regulating access to and action on the data stored in the tags and codes. In one implementation, the ASTS receives from a user's device identifying markers of smart tag enabled point of sale devices. Upon receiving the markers, in some implementations, the ASTS may verify the security of the received smart tags and markers, and retrieve from the markers instructions and restrictions directed at the smart tag based transactions. In some implementations, the ASTS may provide authorization to the user device to proceed with the transaction according to the instructions and restrictions based on the security of the smart tags and the markers.
