The invention of each of the aforementioned applications is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND 1. FIELD

[003] The invention generally relates to asset management. Specifically, the invention relates to systems and methods for extracting data that would otherwise be discarded and reusing it to reduce data input. 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED TECHNIQUE

[004] Travel operators generally offer passengers the option of checking baggage packed with their personal items, with or without a baggage fee. The baggage is usually weighed to determine if additional fees are required. The baggage is then tagged by the airline with a tag. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 8 / 329 3 / 222 Printed baggage tags. Each airline may have its own format for printing a baggage tag at the airline counter. This process consumes human resources from the staff working behind the counter to finalize passenger check-in, print boarding passes, process baggage, and print and attach baggage tags. Travel operators have also invested in kiosk machines that allow passengers to print baggage tags to free up some time for the counter staff. This can allow the passenger to print and attach the printed baggage tag without using the human resources of the counter staff.

[005] According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the average daily passenger numbers in fiscal year 2021 were approximately 1.6 million. In fiscal year 2019, the average daily passenger numbers were approximately 2.9 million. Some of these passengers are returning from travel. In addition, some of the returning passengers are returning from a busy cruise or resort.

[006] Many attempts have been made to reduce the cost of baggage handling, especially baggage handling, departure check-in, and return check-in for travelers at accommodation companies with a high volume of passengers. To simplify baggage handling during transport, the passenger has the option of contracting services from a third-party provider to pick up the passenger and / or their baggage and transport it to the airport when necessary. Baggage can be picked up from any location, such as a residence, office, hotel, etc., and / or delivered to any location identified by the passenger, without the need for their presence.

[007] Another attempt at baggage handling involves the cross-use of employees in lodging establishments, such as a hotel. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 9 / 329 4 / 222 One of the biggest drawbacks of cross-staffing is that these employees are unavailable for other tasks that may arise for passengers still enjoying the amenities of the lodging entity. Hiring more staff has become a challenge in recent years due to COVID-19. Furthermore, staffing costs have increased. In some locations, such as cruise ships, extra staff to handle additional tasks is not only prohibitively expensive but also reduces cruise revenue, trading paying passengers for the cost of a hired employee. The ability to print baggage tags and boarding passes occupies space on the cruise ship that could be used for passenger accommodation or additional revenue opportunities.

[008] Some baggage handling services issue a valet receipt or tag that is placed on the baggage. This process still requires the baggage to receive an IATA baggage tag printed with a baggage tag identifier to replace the valet receipt or tag. This process can be prohibitively expensive for a competitive lodging company vying for clientele. Overall, baggage handling services require the passenger to request the service using a website or mobile app, enter various passenger information that can be entered incorrectly, and pay a fee. Passengers can check in remotely for their flights by providing all necessary flight information from a travel itinerary in advance using the website or mobile app.Although the process seems benign, data entry errors can occur, which can be very costly, along with the additional cost of baggage handling and temporary valet parking tickets. Most of the time, after a passenger arrives at their destination, the baggage tag is removed and discarded to make room for the baggage tag on their return leg. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 10 / 329 5 / 222 of the trip.

[009] An average transatlantic cruise ship has a capacity of approximately 3,000 passengers. Some larger cruise ships have a capacity of 5,400 passengers. Each passenger returning home using an airline must check in for their return flight. The cruise ship staff will handle the pre-check-in process for a return flight and / or baggage check-in, as well as the number of bags. However, the process consumes valuable and limited human resources available on the cruise ship for disembarkation. There is a need for a system and process to address these challenges that is cost- and time-efficient, and easy for any passenger to use.

[0010] Thousands of passengers cross borders using airports every day. Baggage processing by customs in any of these countries can cause delays in the arrival of baggage on the next flight. SUMMARY

[00197] The embodiments are described herein with reference to the accompanying figures, in which similar reference numerals are used throughout the figures to designate similar or equivalent elements. The figures are not drawn to scale and are provided only to illustrate the aspects disclosed herein. Several disclosed aspects are described below with reference to non-limiting exemplary applications for illustrative purposes. It should be understood that several details Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 55 / 329 50 / 222 specific details, relationships, and methods are presented to provide a complete understanding of the modalities disclosed herein. However, one with common knowledge of the relevant art will readily recognize that the modalities disclosed can be practiced without one or more of the specific details or with other methods. In other cases, well-known structures or operations are not shown in detail to avoid obscuring the aspects disclosed herein. The modalities are not limited by the illustrated order of acts or events of the methods, since some acts may occur in different orders and / or simultaneously with other acts or events. Furthermore, not all illustrated acts or events are necessary to implement a methodology according to the modalities.

[00198] Although the ranges and numerical parameters that define the broad scope are approximations, the numerical values ​​presented in specific, non-limiting examples are reported to the greatest possible accuracy. Any numerical value, however, inherently contains certain errors, necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in its respective test measurements. Furthermore, all ranges disclosed herein should be understood as encompassing any and all sub-ranges included therein. For example, a range less than 10 may include any and all sub-ranges between (and including) the minimum value of zero and the maximum value of 10, i.e., any and all sub-ranges with a minimum value equal to or greater than zero and a maximum value equal to or less than 10, for example, from 1 to 4. BAGGAGE HANDLING AND DELIVERY

[00199] Providing a seamless and virtually error-free experience for the handling and transfer of baggage items during travel allows the passenger to have a pleasant and enjoyable travel experience. Although the passenger knows where they are going, the baggage does not. The baggage is physically handled and delivered. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 56 / 329 51 / 222 by the passenger to an airline agent with an affixed identification number, for example. From there, the baggage is transported through airport infrastructure via baggage handling systems (BHS) 63 (Figure 1A) to a security screening zone 37 (Figure 1A).

[00200] A passenger with checked baggage arriving at a country's border crossing airport (hereinafter referred to as the border crossing airport) may exit the border crossing airport via two different lanes. The first lane is a termination lane, whereby the baggage and passenger exit the airport infrastructure. The second lane is a transfer lane, whereby the baggage and passenger are transferred to another airline for travel to a destination within the territory of the border crossing country or to another border crossing country. In the case of the transfer lane, the checked baggage may require re-screening by a screening authority, as required for air travel. For example, in the United States, the screening / re-screening authority is the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The need for re-screening will be discussed in more detail later.

[00201] The government agency that regulates airline security screening is the TSA, part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). On the other hand, the screening process for cruise ships may be regulated by the Coast Guard or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) of the DHS. The DHS may allow a cruise company to have additional rules, provided it meets minimum government regulations. The TSA may also regulate baggage screening on rail trains and bus companies. Other countries may have their own regulations and authorizations. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 57 / 329 52 / 222 similar data for aviation security screening and / or customs authority. SECURITY TRIAGE INTEGRATION

[00202] Other modes of travel (i.e., travel vehicles) may use less stringent, different, or equal-quality screening technology to screen baggage items boarding a train, bus operator, or cruise ship or entering a lodging entity than the screening required by the TSA or other aviation screening authority for travel on an airline. High-tech security screening images regulated by the TSA or other aviation screening authority for travel by an airline may be used to reduce the number of baggage item screenings by other modes of travel when there is a direct connection from a passenger departing from an airline (a first mode of travel) and initiating their next leg of travel with a second mode of travel (i.e., second travel vehicle) or screening, such as by bus, train, cruise ship, another airline, lodging / resort entity, or a government agency.These security screening images required by the TSA or other countries' regulatory agency may be shared for analysis in accordance with regulations associated with any of the other modes of travel or screening without diminishing the effectiveness of the screening process. To maintain the integrity of the image-based travel mode analysis, correspondingly tagged baggage items remain in secure custody until custody is transferred to the next mode of travel (i.e., bus, train, cruise ship, a second airline, or lodging entity / resort) and / or the next government agency for border entry.

[00203] Currently, thousands of passengers fly daily from one country to another. One of the bottlenecks is the time spent on inspection. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 58 / 329 53 / 222 security of baggage arriving for travel on departing aircraft and at customs for entry into a country via an airport. However, for connecting flights, checked baggage remains in secure custody. Provided that the security inspection at the airport of origin has been carried out at the security inspection level of the second security inspection authority, the modalities described herein may share security inspection images to eliminate the need for further inspection via a security inspection imaging machine, provided that the baggage complies with the country's security inspection authority.

[00204] Past problems can be solved by the methods and systems described herein, using the IATA identification number to obtain a generated PID and images and security screening data of the baggage item's contents without the need to transfer or access other Personally Identifiable Information (PII) associated with a passenger to expedite baggage item processing by customs or a border security screening checkpoint.

[00205] As used in this document, the terms “modes of travel” and “modes of transport” may be used interchangeably. As used in this document, the terms “modes of travel” and “travel vehicles” may be used interchangeably. However, “modes of travel” and “travel vehicles” may also include accommodation and resorts.

[00206] Although the description here refers to government regulatory agencies in the United States, other countries, or groups of countries bound by treaties, may also provide regulations to be followed for transportation security that require screening of Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 59 / 329 54 / 222 security of baggage items being loaded onto a vehicle for travel to other destinations or countries.

[00207] The processes and systems described here employ parallel methodologies to acquire baggage identification information, so that the identification number can be obtained without the need for passenger or other staff intervention. The identification number is used to acquire a Pseudonymized Identifier (PID) or Primary ID, which is used to depersonalize a checked baggage manifest that may be closed at an airport or transferred to another airline (i.e., carrier). The depersonalized baggage manifest can provide access to shared images of depersonalized security screening by a customs authority for review and approval of the contents in the space volume within the baggage item.

[00208] The processes and systems described here for a direction of travel also apply to the reverse direction of travel to bring a passenger home.

[00209] Figure 1A illustrates a block diagram of a system 100 for creating at least one depersonalized baggage manifest 1211...121x, which can be triggered by a Type-B termination message, according to one or more modes. The Type-B termination message is a Type-B message that includes an IATA identification number. In one or more modes, the system 100 may include a server 148. The system 100 may use parallel data streams for creating at least one depersonalized baggage manifest 1211...121x.

[00210] In one or more embodiments, the IATA identification number may become a primary key or linking index key to locate shared security screening images (SSI) and the pseudo-identifier (PID) in a database, Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 60 / 329 55 / 222 as will be described in Figure 2B.

[00211] Server 148 may include programming modules 149. One or more programming modules 149 may include software, hardware, firmware, or a combination of software, hardware, and firmware. BSM Generation

[00212] A Departure Control System (DCS) 31 controls various air operations, including baggage dispatch at the airport (i.e., baggage items), the generation of a passenger baggage tag identifier (BTID), and the data formats for printing baggage tags. Baggage tags are formatted based on rules published by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and include, for example, a 10-digit identification number. Typically, one or more IATA Type-B messages are created, which include the identification number and flight information.

[00213] DCS 31 can initiate the process of creating the data used for printing the original printed baggage tag at the time the passenger checks in for a flight. This can occur within a check-in window. In some cases, the check-in window is 24 hours before the flight time. Meanwhile, not all passengers check in in advance. Consequently, the arrival of the BSM to the 100 system may vary.

[00214] For airlines, the IATA baggage tag includes a baggage tag with a standardized sequence of numbers or barcode to identify the baggage and associate it with the passenger. If a passenger does not board a flight, their baggage, although checked in, may not be loaded onto the aircraft. In some cases, the baggage may be missing. In that case, the baggage system... Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 61 / 329 56 / 222 baggage handling system 63 produces a Type-B message or a baggage information message as the baggage is transported through the baggage handling system 63.

[00215] As should be understood, BSM data may change as a result of normal airline operations, changes caused by a passenger, and / or adverse weather conditions, for example, after the BSM data has been created. Thus, the original BSM created at check-in may not be the same as the final BSM sent to the system 100. Type-B message data may change as baggage moves through airport infrastructure. Some Type-B messages may be generated by a baggage handling system 63 as the baggage handling system interacts with the baggage. AIRPORT TERMINATION TYPE B MESSAGE DATA

[00216] A travel information system 108 can generate Type-B messages 152 when baggage (i.e., passenger baggage 138 Figure 1B) is checked in for a passenger. The travel information system 108 may include a flight manifest 151 stored in a database associated with an airline's computer system, for example. The passenger may have more than one piece of baggage to check in. The process is essentially duplicated for all baggage checked in for the passenger.

[00217] By way of non-limiting example, a Type B message may be a Baggage Origin Message (BSM), as described in more detail in Figure 14. A travel information system 108 or other computer system associated with an airline may communicate a termination BSM to or through a destination / termination airport. Baggage handling systems 63 may generate other Type B messages in accordance with standard operating procedures for baggage handling in Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 62 / 329 57 / 222 airports. Although the present description describes termination BSMs, any other Type-B termination message, current or future, with termination codes and an IATA identification number, may be used.

[00218] Airlines generate and store one or more Type-B 152 messages. Type-B 152 messages may include one or more baggage transfer messages (BTM), baggage origin messages (BSM), baggage processing messages (BPM), baggage unloading messages (BUM), unseen baggage messages (BNS), baggage control messages (BCM), baggage manifest messages (BMM), and baggage requests (BRQ). The baggage tag number is part of the baggage messages. In one or more modes, Type-B messages may include the passenger's name and PNR number. This allows other information to be accessed based on the baggage tag number (i.e., the IATA identification number).

[00219] The travel information system 108 may include a Type-B message communicator 153 configured to communicate with the termination BSM and / or for reception by the server 148. In one or more embodiments, the Type-B message 152 and the Type-B message communicator 153 may be associated with a computer system or server system associated with an airline or a BHS 63. Type-B messages may include other messages indicating the status of baggage. Type-B messages may be retrieved by the server 148 through upload or download operations.

[00220] Server 148 may include programming instructions that, when executed, cause a Type-B message receiver, such as termination BSMs, to receive such messages. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 63 / 329 58 / 222 termination 158 of programming modules 149. The termination Type-B message receiver 158 may be a termination BSM receiver. The termination BSM may be for the airline at an airport where the flight carrying the checked baggage terminates at a final destination airport, for example. At the final destination airport, the baggage will leave the airport infrastructure. In one or more modes, the baggage leaving the airport infrastructure may be the next to be transported in a second mode of transport. The encoding of the termination airport in a termination BSM is described in relation to Figure 14. Receiver 158 may include programming instructions that, when executed, cause the receiver to receive messages based on a baggage origin indicator that denotes a termination Type-B message. TRIGGERING ASSISTANT'S SIGNAL

[00221] The Type-B termination message with a flight number match can be used to trigger a 190 security screening assistance integration system (Figure 16) to expedite or bypass security screening of baggage items by customs and / or for the next travel vehicle. In one or more embodiments, the 190 security screening assistance integration system can be used as an SS 372 computer station.

[00222] The inventor determined that the IATA identification number can be used as a linking key to airline information to build a depersonalized baggage item manifest record to provide depersonalized Security Screening Image (SSI) file sharing data 306A, 306B for access to security images and data 113 or 113' (Figure 2B-2C) previously captured by a screening machine. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 64 / 329 59 / 222 security baggage (SS) 45, 50, used to clear baggage for boarding on an airline in another country or to cross a border from an airport in a border crossing country to which the baggage arrived via an airline. Although the process is described in relation to travel operators, the processes may be applied to other travel operators.

[00223] After check-in and custody transfer, baggage, before being loaded into the hold of an aircraft, is sent by an automated travel carrier system from a first security screening machine system (FSSMS) 40 into a security screening zone 37. The initial screening process can be carried out by large X-ray machines, as will be described in more detail in Figure 16. These machines can be designed to detect a variety of materials, including explosives and other contraband. Baggage can be screened using dual-energy X-ray systems that allow security personnel to differentiate between organic and inorganic materials based on their atomic number. This can aid in the identification of potentially hazardous substances. If the X-ray examination shows something suspicious, the baggage can be diverted for further inspection.This typically involves a physical inspection by a trained security officer and may also involve the use of more advanced scanning technologies such as CT (Computed Tomography) scanners (i.e., CT imaging machine 45, 50), which can provide more detailed 3D images of the baggage contents. In some cases, explosive trace detection (ETD) machines may also be used. These machines can detect traces of explosives on the outside of the bag or on the items inside it. In one or more methods, screening may be done by swabbing the bag or item and then analyzing the swab for explosive residue. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 65 / 329 60 / 222

[00224] Security screening zone 37 may include at least one Automatic Tag Reader (ATR) 68 to scan the original printed baggage tag affixed to the baggage or to receive a radio frequency identifier (RFID) from an RFID baggage tag. The Automatic Tag Reader 68 may include a laser scanner to scan the barcode of the identification number printed on the original printed baggage tag. The Automatic Tag Reader 68 may include a receiver to receive an RFID representative of the identification number. Alternatively, different types of Automatic Tag Readers may be employed in zone 37.

[00225] Security screening images (SSI), such as 3D images and data, are stored in tangible, non-transient memory 113. As used herein, both the SSI and the data, as well as the hardware for generating the SSI history and data, can be referenced by the same reference number 113. FSSMS 40 activities may be governed and regulated by the TSA, as in the United States, by another country's regulatory agency, or by another approved contractor. However, the contents of checked baggage may differ from baggage brought aboard a cruise ship, permitted at a resort, or in some countries.

[00226] Each country may have different security screening rules.

[00227] By way of non-limiting example, the Security Screening Integration Assistant System (SSIA) 190 is described in relation to Figure 16 and can be used to assist in circumventing security screening carried out independently by the cruise ship, railway station, bus station, resort or lodging entity, where the secure custody of baggage from an airline's cargo hold is required. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 66 / 329 61 / 222 area can be transferred to a trusted custodian agent to maintain the integrity of the baggage for the next mode of travel. This can reduce processing by security screening lines at the cruise ship, train station, bus station, resort, or lodging entity. More importantly, reducing the processing of previously screened baggage that remained in trusted custody can limit the need to change security screening algorithms to speed up processing lines or reduce the effectiveness of security screening due to long lines causing passengers to miss their connecting flights or other travel arrangements to go through customs.

[00228] Programming modules 149 may include a security screening trigger generator 170. The security screening trigger generator 170 may have programming instructions that, when executed, may trigger the security screening integration assistant (SSIA) mechanism 175 and / or a security screening integration assistant (SSIA) system 190 (Figure 16). The trigger may identify baggage items that need to go through security screening for the next travel vehicle based on matches between a passenger on the MX manifest and a BSM or B-Type termination message, for example. The security screening trigger generator 170 may generate a trigger to expedite the processing of the security screening image and the originating airline's FSSMS 40 data file, for example, before the baggage is unloaded from the airline's cargo hold.This can save valuable machine resources by eliminating the need to unnecessarily re-image baggage items that already have TSA-quality images with useful information for the next travel vehicle. As a non-limiting example, consider high-quality country security screening images. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 67 / 329 TSA screening images with a 62 / 222 rating or higher may be used for baggage entering a United States border airport. The process described here for baggage entering the United States may also be applied to baggage entering other countries that use shared and approved security screening images.

[00229] The security screening trigger generator 170 may have programming instructions that, when executed, can trigger the security screening integration assistant (SSIA) mechanism 175, which can identify baggage items that need to go through customs screening by a customs authority when entering a country. The system 100 can be configured to generate at least one depersonalized baggage manifest 1211... 121 x for a flight arriving at a border airport.

[00230] In one example, a depersonalized baggage manifest 1211... 121x may include a list of depersonalized LIM records, PIDs, and / or SSI filenames linked to images of stored baggage items that end up in the airport infrastructure of a border crossing airport. The list may be sent to an SS computer workstation of the customs authority or other government authority.

[00231] In one example, a depersonalized baggage manifest 1211... 121x may be for the customs authority for those baggage items that end up in the airport infrastructure of a border crossing airport and include a notation for those baggage items that will be handled by a trusted custodian for a second mode of travel to expedite or bypass the second mode of travel security screening with the shared depersonalized image data. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 68 / 329 63 / 222

[00232] As will be described in relation to Figure 1C, a depersonalized baggage manifest 1211... 121 x may be submitted to the customs authority for those baggage items transferred to another airline at the border crossing airport.

[00233] PROCESSING OF TYPE B AIRPORT TERMINATION MESSAGES

[00234] System 100 may include a tangible, non-transient memory device 162 for storing received Type-B messages (i.e., termination BSM). Programming modules 149 may include a Type-B message receiver 158 and one or more Type-B message processing modules 160. Each received Type-B message may be processed by one or more Type-B message processing modules 160. The Type-B message processing modules 160 may include programming instructions that, when executed, cause a Type-B message classifier 164 to classify Type-B messages to isolate the termination BSM. Classification may include classification by one or more airport location codes or terminal location associated with a border crossing airport, day, arrival time, or airline.This can set a resource schedule to handle baggage volume so that the baggage travel experience occurs as planned.

[00235] The Type-B 160 message processing module may include one or more 164 message classifiers. The 164 message classifier may include programming instructions that, when executed, cause the Type-B message classification to find those Type-B messages with matching termination airport codes associated with a border crossing airport and / or flight number, on any given day or time. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 69 / 329 64 / 222 to create baggage manifests for passenger baggage items that end up at the arrival airport in a border crossing country and use system 100 for baggage handling and delivery, customs clearance and / or security clearance handling.

[00236] In one or more scenarios, baggage that ends up at a border crossing airport may be required to undergo customs screening. In another example, baggage arriving at the airport may be required to undergo security screening by one of the accommodation units or another means of travel.

[00237] Type-B messages, such as BSMs, may include a baggage origin indicator, as described in Figure 14, which indicates a termination BSM and a non-termination BSM. Non-termination BSMs or Type-B messages may be local, transfer, and remote, as described in relation to Figure 14.

[00238] By way of non-limiting example, system 100 may include programming modules 149, which may include programming instructions that, when executed, may be configured to receive Type-B messages from each airport and initiate screening and matching of received Type-B messages according to the airport's schedule and operating hours. Some airports are border crossing airports. Airports that do not receive international flights may not require customs screening.

[00239] In one or more embodiments, the matching by one or more Type-B 166 message combiners may include programming instructions that, when executed, may cause at least one processor to compare airline information and / or a flight number in a received BSM or Type-B message with the airline information and flight number of Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 70 / 329 65 / 222 flight on an MX manifest for a second mode of travel different from the first mode of travel or flight manifest 151. Airline information may include an airport code. In some modes, baggage may be transferring from a first mode of travel to a second mode of travel. However, it may remain in trusted custody to bypass or expedite security screening by the second mode of travel, as will be described in relation to Figures 10A-10B and 11A-11B.

[00240] In one or more embodiments, the matching by one or more Type-B 166 message correspondents may include programming instructions, which when executed may cause at least one processor to match airline information and / or a flight number in a received BSM or Type-B termination message with the airline information and flight number in a flight manifest associated with the airline code of a flight number.

[00241] System 100 can create depersonalized baggage manifests 1211... 121x to handle baggage items so that they can be virtually examined to pass through customs, for example, by transferring certain hidden information.

[00242] The Type-B message processing module 160 may include programming instructions that, when executed, cause one or more Type-B message data extractors 168 to extract baggage identification information (LII) from the Type-B message and provide the data to the baggage manifest record creator 185. For example, the extracted information may include the IATA identification number. The baggage manifest record (LIM) 186 may include an entry for the identification number of the Type-B message. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 71 / 329 66 / 222

[00243] In one or more modes, the extracted information sent to the creator of the baggage manifest record 185 may include the IATA identification number, the passenger's name, and / or a passenger name registration number. The creator of the baggage manifest record 185 may include programming instructions that, when executed, cause a LIM 186 record to be populated with the IATA identification number, the passenger's name, and / or a passenger name registration number. By way of non-limiting example, the data from the LIM 186 record may be used to update data in an MX manifest for a second mode of transport.

[00244] The LIM 186 record, as described below, can be updated with location data from a scanning device, itinerary data, or booking data. The LIM 186 record may include a tracking device identifier associated with the baggage.

[00245] The security screening trigger generator 170 may include programming instructions that, when executed, interface with the baggage item manifest record creator 185 to generate a trigger for those baggage items that require customs or security screening and activate the SSIA mechanism 175.

[00246] The baggage manifest record 185 creator may include programming instructions that, when executed, may cause at least one processor to query a database to locate the PID, as described in Figures 2A-2B, associated with the IATA identification number of the flight landing at a border airport. The baggage manifest record 186 may include the PID 204 or 204' and the identification number 202 of the related baggage item (Figures 2A-2B). In one or more embodiments, the baggage manifest record 186 may include a translated PID 204” (Figure 2C) and the identification number 202 Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 72 / 329 67 / 222 of the related baggage (Figures 2A-2B) that was matched to the Type-B message. In one or more modes, the baggage manifest record 186 can be encrypted and protected to maintain a secure link between PID 204 or 204' and the baggage identification number 202. For example, in a situation where baggage does not pass through customs or security clearance in another country using depersonalized data, the baggage may need to be identified. The baggage identification number 202 or other globally unique identifier can be extrapolated from the depersonalized data to track the baggage.

[00247] The programming modules 149 of the SSIA mechanism 175 may include a LIM record depersonalizer 188, a depersonalized SSI file-sharing packet assembler 192, and a depersonalized SSI file-sharing data packet communicator 194.

[00248] The LIM 188 record depersonalizer may include programming instructions that, when executed, cause the depersonalization of an LIM 186 record to be added to a depersonalized manifest 1211...121x. The depersonalization of the LIM 186 record will be described in more detail in relation to Figures 4A and 9A-9B. The LIM 188 record depersonalizer removes baggage identification information associated with the passenger. Files containing the key to passenger identification information, such as the IATA identification number and a PID, are encrypted and / or stored in memory with very limited access to protect passenger identity. The LIM 186 record may be encrypted to protect passenger identity based on the IATA identification number.

[00249] The SSI depersonalized file-sharing package assembler 192 may include programming instructions. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 73 / 329 68 / 222 which, when executed, assemble data from the depersonalized LIM register 186 to be sent to the SS 372 computer station, where the data (i.e., depersonalized file share data) is configured to provide access to the SSI and data 113 (Figure 2B) using an SSI view application or a generated contents list. The depersonalized SSI file share data packet communicator 194 may include programming instructions that, when executed, cause a network interface to communicate the assembled depersonalized file share data to an SS 372 computer station (Figure 3A-3C).

[00250] With respect to Figures 1A and 4B, the LIM 188 record depersonalizer may include programming instructions which, when executed, may cause depersonalization, by at least one of the processors, of the security screening image file sharing data, linking PID 204, 204' or 204” (Figure 2A2C) to a hyperlink to the database or a secondary shared memory location to access the image and security screening data 113 or 113' or a list of contents 373 (Figure 3C) of the content within a volume space within the baggage. In one or more embodiments, the depersonalized security screening image file sharing data 306A or 306B may include PID 204 with a hyperlink 954 embedded in the PID text string.

[00251] The LIM 188 record depersonalizer may include programming instructions that, when executed, may cause the depersonalization of security screening image file sharing data by incorporating, by at least one of the processors, the hyperlink in the text of PID 204, 204' or 204', where the hyperlink provides access to SSI and data 113 or 113' in the database or Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 74 / 329 69 / 222 in the secondary shared memory location. In one or more modes, the PID text may have the hyperlink embedded in the PID text string.

[00252] Referring also to Figure 9B, the depersonalization of security screening image file sharing data may include PID 204, 204', or 204” (Figure 2A-2C) and a filename of the shared security screening image and data 113 or 113', hereinafter referred to as the “SSI filename” (Figure 2B). The LIM 188 record depersonalizer may include programming instructions that, when executed, may cause the depersonalization of security screening image file sharing data 306A or 306B (Figure 3A-3C) by incorporating, by at least one processor, the hyperlink 954' into the text of the SSI filename 206 or 206', where the hyperlink 954' provides access to the SSI and data 113 in the database or shared memory location. secondary.In one or more embodiments, the text or characters of PID 204, 204', or 204” may, alternatively or in addition to, have the hyperlink 954' embedded in the PID text string. The text string may include alphanumeric characters. In some embodiments, the text may include special characters.

[00253] In one or more embodiments, the depersonalized baggage manifest 1211-121x may include at least one of the PIDs 204, 204', 204” for the baggage item or the SSI filename 206 or 206'. Additionally, the security screening trigger generator 170 may include programming instructions that, when executed, may generate a trigger to be sent, using wired or wireless communication protocols, to a security screening integration assistant system (SSIA) 190 (Figure 16). In one or more embodiments, the SSI filename 206 may be converted to an encoded filename, as described in relation to Figure 8. The name of Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 75 / 329 70 / 222 The encoded file may be encoded with the passenger's Personally Identifiable Information (PII). By way of non-limiting example, the encoded file name may be encoded with the passenger's date of birth as a sequence of numeric digits. For example, part of the image file name may include: passenger's date of birth. Other Personally Identifiable Information (PII) may include passport number, government identification number, driver's license number, or other global identifier.

[00254] In one or more embodiments, based on a match, a Security Screening Integration Assistant (SSIA) process 405 (Figure 4) can be executed by the SSIA 175 mechanism when triggered. This process can be executed within system 100 or by a remote system (i.e., the SSIA 190 system). The SSIA 175 mechanism can include programming instructions that, when executed, can perform the steps of blocks 406, 408, and 410 of Figure 4.

[00255] Figure 1C illustrates a block diagram of system 100 for the creation of at least one depersonalized baggage manifest, triggered by an endless Type-B message, according to a modality. The endless Type-B message can be received based on one baggage origin indicator, multiple baggage origin indicators, or all baggage origin indicators. Figure 1C is similar to Figure 1A, therefore only the differences will be described in detail. PROCESSING OF TYPE B MESSAGE WITHOUT TERMINATION

[00256] In Figure 1C, a Type-B message receiver without termination 158' is provided. As a non-limiting example, the system 100 may include programming modules 149, which can be configured to receive Type-B messages from an airport and initiate Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 76 / 329 71 / 222 sorting and matching from non-terminating Type-B messages, according to airport schedules and operating hours. As described in relation to Figures 10B, the first-mode airline 104 may be an airline for a flight originating in another country. Receiver 158' may include programming instructions that, when executed, cause the receiver to receive messages based on a baggage origin indicator that denotes a non-terminating Type-B message. Baggage origin indicators are described in more detail in relation to Figure 14.

[00257] Although the description applies to Type-B messages without termination, as it applies to an air or airport infrastructure, in one or more modes, the 158' non-terminating message receiver can be replaced or controlled to be a Type-B message receiver. In this way, the Type-B message receiver 158' can receive all Type-B messages to classify all baggage items in relation to a flight manifest, for example, for customs and / or security screening processing.

[00258] For tour operators departing from outside a country and landing at an airport, matched by an airport code, which is a first border crossing, for example, system 100 can receive the entire flight manifest 151 and Type-B messages without termination. Terminating Type-B messages are received and processed in Figure 1A. Messages arriving at an airport that also require customs security clearance, for example, are matched by comparing an IATA identification number or the passenger names in the flight manifest and classified Type-B messages. Therefore, once a match is detected and the IATA identification number can be extracted from the Type-B message without termination, Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 77 / 329 72 / 222 A trigger can be sent to a Security Screening Integration Assistant System (SSIA) 190 (Figure 16) via a Security Screening Trigger Generator 170, for example. The trigger generator 170 may include programming instructions that, when executed, send the IATA identification number associated with the baggage item to be screened and / or the passenger name and / or PNR number, for example, to the SSIA 190 system.

[00259] An unterminated Type-B message may indicate that baggage is being transferred by airline. In this case, the baggage may need to 1) pass through customs and 2) be inspected by the air inspection authority of the country of border crossing.

[00260] The Type-B message processing module 160' may include programming instructions that, when executed, cause a Type-B message data extractor 168 to extract information from the non-terminating Type-B message and send the data to the baggage item manifest record maker 185.

[00261] As described in Figure 1B, the first leg of the journey may have been on an airplane. However, the baggage may have been collected by System 100 employees or other baggage handlers at a train station, bus station, hotel, etc., before being scanned to record the baggage's arrival at an accommodation unit, according to an MX manifest. At the accommodation unit, the baggage begins its next leg of the journey. This could be a cruise ship or a resort. As technology advances, security screening imaging machines may be deployed in ports. Consequently, SSI and data can be obtained by SS imaging machines in locations other than airports.

[00262] ORIGINAL PATH TRAVEL EXPERIENCE

[00263] Figure 1B illustrates a block diagram of a system Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 78 / 329 73 / 222 100 for passenger check-in for return travel segments, according to a specific mode. In one or more modes, the 100 system can be used to check in the passenger for the return travel segment. Figure 1B provides an example of baggage traveling across multiple travel segments to an accommodation unit or the next mode of transport.

[00264] System 100 is indicated between lines AA and BB. System 100 can communicate with the travel information system 108 of a first-mode airline 104, the travel information system 110 of an optional intermediate airline 106, and / or the travel information system 128 of an accommodation unit 126. In the arrangements described herein, the accommodation unit 126 is a cruise ship. Travel information systems 108, 110, and 128 may include web-based servers connected to the internet, for example. One or more components of system 100 are located locally in relation to a DP 107, where the destination point is also local in relation to an accommodation unit. In one or more arrangements, the accommodation unit 126 may be a resort or hotel.

[00265] The first-mode airline 104 can be an airline, a bus operator, and a rail operator. However, for the purposes of discussion, the examples will be described in relation to the first-mode airline being an airline. The optional intermediate airline 106 can be an airline, a bus operator, and a rail operator.

[00266] Travel route 140, represented as a dashed line, denotes a path of travel segments L1, L2 and L3 of the passenger and passenger baggage 138 from the point of origin (i.e., house 102) to the point of lodging or boarding at the lodging entity 126 via segment L4. Segment L1 is a route traveled from Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 79 / 329 74 / 222 residence 102 to a first-mode airline 104. Segment L2 is a journey undertaken using the first-mode airline 104 to DP 107 or to the optional segment L3 associated with an intermediate airline 106. The optional segment L3 is a journey undertaken using the intermediate airline 106 to DP 107. For example, a passenger may end their journey at the end of segment L2 and board a vehicle from a different airline or flight to begin the journey along segment L3 to DP 107. Furthermore, it should be recognized that the journey of segment L3 may include one or more intermediate travel operators. In some cases, the passenger's journey may have zero (0) intermediate travel operators, as in the case of a direct flight or direct journey to the destination point DP along the journey 140.

[00267] In accordance with one or more modalities, the 100 system unfastens a passenger's baggage for other means of travel to be dispatched for a return flight within the regulated check-in period, prints a return flight baggage tag for placement on the baggage, and transfers the baggage to the airline's custody.

[00268] In one or more embodiments, the 100 system may cause an airline-associated printer or airline kiosk to print an IATA-compliant baggage tag for the return flight with an airline. In one or more embodiments, the 100 system may include a printing device to print an IATA baggage tag for a return flight, replacing the original printed baggage tag with the IATA baggage tag for the return flight.

[00269] In one or more modes, the IATA baggage tag number printed on the IATA baggage tag of the flight re Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 80 / 329 The 75 / 222 IATA baggage tag can be recycled for use at non-airport locations and temporary accommodations as a unique identifier recycled during return journeys after baggage has been unloaded from an airline and collected at the airline or airport infrastructure. The IATA return flight baggage tag is a non-disposable, machine-readable baggage tag for any other means of travel and accommodations, including temporary accommodations, after the baggage has completed its return journey on an airline.

[00270] Destination point DP 107 is local in relation to the port of embarkation of the hosting entity 126. System 100 or one or more system components may be controlled and operated by a third-party service provider, independent of any airline. System 100 may be controlled and operated by an airline local in relation to destination point DP 107. The airline local in relation to destination point DP 107 may be an airline, a rail operator, a bus operator, a cruise airline, or a combination thereof. The acquisition devices described herein may be deployed at locations outside the airport to locate and track baggage items, such as in alternative modes of transport.

[00271] In some cases, the routes taken by the first-mode airline and the route of the optional intermediate airline 106 may be reversed, so that the route taken by the passenger on segment L2 may be by an intermediate airline 106 and the route taken by the passenger on segment L3 to DP 107 may be using the first-mode airline.

[00272] A component of system 100 may include a scanner 116 for scanning a baggage tag (BT) 142. The BT 142 is a Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 81 / 329 76 / 222 original paper baggage tag (OP-BT) with an original baggage tag identifier (O-BTI) 114, such as that of a first-mode airline 104 on a first leg of the journey. The O-BTI 114 may be stored in a database by the first-mode airline 104.

[00273] In one or more modes, a passenger with a mobile communication device 15 can capture an image of the BT 142. According to one example, the BT 142 may have been printed by a kiosk at the airport and placed in the passenger's luggage.

[00274] In one or more embodiments, the components of system 100 may also include a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader or a near-field communication (NFC) identification reader, both referred to herein as RFID-R 150, indicated in a dashed box to indicate that they are optional. The RFID reader receives electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags. In some cases, passenger baggage 138 may use an RFID tag or near-field communication (NFC) compatible tags that produce an identification number or equivalent identifier. However, currently, most baggage still uses the printed or paper tag as the primary means of identifying a passenger's baggage 138.

[00275] In one or more modes, passenger baggage 138 may include a radio frequency communication device, such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) tracker, a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) tracker, a GSM-5G tracker, a WIFI-enabled communication device, a BLUETOOTH Low Energy (BLE) device, a BLUETOOTH-enabled communication device, a short-range RF communication device and a long-range communication device using compatible wireless communication protocols. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 82 / 329 77 / 222

[00276] The passenger baggage term 138 may include one or more baggage items. The baggage item(s) may include a first baggage item. In some cases, only the BT 142 of the first baggage item may need to be scanned to digitally recreate a passenger's baggage number (i.e., the identification number).

[00277] The stored digital O-BTI can be converted to a format compatible with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) baggage tag code and other standardized airline formats. For example, an airline baggage tag may include an IATA code that includes a three-character alphanumeric geocode designating airports and metropolitan areas. The IATA code is also known as an IATA location identifier. IATA also publishes industry standard rules for creating baggage tags for the airline industry. The printed BT 142 may include a 10-digit identification number and the corresponding barcode. The digital O-BTI may include information to create the IATA geocode, the airline's original flight information, the 10-digit identification number, and other BT information printed on a BT 142. The BT 142 may use a plate from other travel operators.

[00278] A component of system 100 may include an imaging device 118 for capturing an image of the passenger's baggage item 138. Components of system 100 may include an optional printing device 120 that is configured to print a marker (MK) 136 onto a substrate. An example of MK 136 is described in relation to Figure 15.

[00279] The components of system 100 may include a computing device 122, as will be described in more detail in Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 83 / 329 78 / 222 in relation to Figure XX1. The computing device 122 can communicate with the scanner 116, the imaging device 118, and the printing device 120 by means of wireless communication, indicated by the reference number 130. In one or more embodiments, the computing device 122 can communicate with the scanner 116, the imaging device 118, and / or the printing device 120 by means of wired communication protocols. The printing device 120 can be a laser printer, an inkjet printer, or another printing device.

[00280] It should be understood from this invention that the system described herein accommodates many possible outcomes that may be experienced by various passengers. The need for an MK 136 arises from the fact that some baggage arriving at a destination may not include the originally printed baggage tag or airline tag, both of which may include an IATA barcode. In such a situation, the system would need to prepare a tag to temporarily label the baggage.

[00281] In addition, the MK 136 can be used in one or more modes for those baggage items that are processed through an integrated security screening station, as described in Figure 10A.

[00282] This marker may include the 10-digit identification number or other information. This marker can be used to identify baggage by the passenger in case of loss, for example.

[00283] The system may include the creation, by means of a printing device in communication with at least one processor, of an MK 136 with a marker identifier that links the baggage manifest record to a baggage item when the original paper tag identifier (OP-BTI) associated with the baggage tag Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 84 / 329 79 / 222 printed baggage item if damaged or missing; and completion of the baggage manifest record with the marker identifier. The marker identifier may be a barcode, readable by a barcode reading device, where the marker identifier includes one of the following: OP-BTI or a new tracking identifier.

[00284] Computing device 122 can communicate with scanner 116, imaging device 118, and / or printing device 120 using near-field communication (NFC) protocols, such as, but not limited to, BLUETOOTH. Computing device 122 can communicate with scanner 116, imaging device 118, and / or printing device 120 using wireless fidelity communications (WI-FI) based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standards. Computing device 122 can communicate with scanner 116, imaging device 118, and / or printing device 120 using ZIGBEE wireless technology compliant with IEEE 802.15, for example.The computing device 122 can communicate with the scanner 116, the imaging device 118, and / or the printing device 120 using long-range communication protocols, short-range communication protocols, cellular radio frequency protocols, or other mobile radio frequency protocols.

[00285] In other embodiments, the scanner 116 may be a software application stored on the computing device 122 and programmed to interact with a video device or camera embedded, integrated, or connected by cable to the computing device 122. In one or more embodiments, the computing device 122, the imaging device 118, and the scanner 116 may be a single device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or other computing device. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 85 / 329 80 / 222 video-enabled portable device, hereinafter referred to as the intelligent communication device. In one or more embodiments, the system 100 may include a local computing device or a server 148 to communicate with the intelligent communication device(s) and the travel information systems 108, 110 and / or 128. The local computing device (i.e., the server 148) communicates via wired or wireless communications with at least one intelligent communication device and / or with the travel information systems 108, 110 or 128.

[00286] In one or more embodiments, the computing device 122, the imaging device 118, the scanner 116 and the RFID-R 150 may be a single device, such as a smartphone, tablet or other video-enabled portable computing device, also referred to herein as a smart communication device.

[00287] The imaging device 118, the scanner 116, and the RFID-R 150 can be electronic devices (i.e., acquisition devices) that acquire the barcode or other information associated with the IATA identification number, such as the 10-digit identification number. As should be understood from this invention, although IATA standards use a 10-digit identification number, other plate formats with more or fewer digits may be used. For example, the 10-digit identification number may be acquired by optical character recognition, computer vision machine learning algorithm, or other artificial intelligence algorithm that can recognize alphanumeric characters and convert the recognized characters into machine-coded text, for example.

[00288] A component of system 100 may include an optional baggage receiver 124 for transporting received baggage, as on a conveyor belt. While passenger baggage 138 moves Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 86 / 329 81 / 222 on the conveyor belt, at least one scanner 116 and at least one imaging device 118 can scan or generate images of the O-BTI representative information. In one or more modes, the imaging device 118 can capture images of one or more passenger bags 138. In addition, the RFID-R 150 can also read an RFID or NFC tag placed on the baggage receiver 124. In one or more modes, the scanner 116 can scan a baggage tag enabled for QR codes. Baggage tags enabled for RFID, NFC, and QR codes may include certain personal or PU information. This passenger personal information and the information in the PNR 112 can be used to validate the personal information. The RFID or NFC tag must be compliant with the IATA RP 1740c standard, for example, or other requirements. The PNR 112 represents a storage location where an airline can store its passengers' PNRs.The PNR number is also known as the PNR locator. PNR data can be located using at least the PNR number, which can be found in certain baggage information messages, such as, but not limited to, baggage origin messages. By way of example, PNR data may be stored in a passenger service system (PSS) or an order management system (OMS). However, over time, the location of storage devices for PNR data may change. Therefore, the system may use and update PNR access instructions according to each airline to determine how to navigate to PNR 112. The exchange of communications may include Internet Protocols (IP), Extended Markup Language (XML) standards, and XML messages.

[00289] In other embodiments, the 124 baggage receiver may include a platform or surface designated for the placement of a Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 87 / 329 82 / 222 passenger's single baggage 138, with a scanner, imaging device 118 and / or RFID-R 150 near the platform to scan the O-BTI 114 and / or capture images of passenger's baggage 138. The scanner 116 and imaging device 118 may be the same device, but operated to search for and scan a barcode with the O-BTI 114 in one process and, in a second optional process, locate a part or side of the passenger's baggage 138 to capture baggage identification features. The scanner 116, imaging device 118 and RFID-R 150 may be integrated into the same device, where RFID-R 150 will read the RFID or NFC tag, if a printed baggage tag is not present, to develop personal information for a manifest.

[00290] In a process to capture baggage identification features, such as using computer vision, it may be determined that passenger 138's baggage does not include an original paper tag. In this case, the information received from RFID-R 150 can be used. In some cases, passenger 138's baggage may have both an RFID or NFC tag and an original paper tag, since the original paper tag may include information associated with an airline for a local return leg to the place of origin 102.

[00291] According to one or more embodiments, the computing device 122 and / or server 148 of the system 100 may include programming instructions which, when executed, may cause the generation of a communication session with a travel information system 108 or 110 to access the PNR 112 based on the scanned BT 142 to obtain representative information of the original O-BTI 114 with an embedded code of a passenger's baggage number, as will be described later.

[00292] According to one or more modalities, the device of Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 88 / 329 83 / 222 computing 122 and / or server 148 of system 100 can generate a communication session with a travel information system 108 or 110 to access PNR 112 based on the BT 142 image to obtain passenger information that includes at least the PNR number captured from BT 142.

[00293] The travel information system 108 or 110 can generate a communication with the passenger file data 132, which includes the passenger's return segment information, keeping the PII in the PNR confidential. The received passenger file data 132 is compiled into a manifest file 134 or sent to the travel information system 128, where a manifest file 134 is created. In some cases, the server 148 can create a manifest file. One of the computing devices 122 and / or server 148 can communicate a manifest file to the travel information system 128 of the hosting entity 126. The manifest file 134 is different from the depersonalized baggage manifest 1211... 121X.

[00294] The computing device 122 and / or the server 148 can merge all the data from the passenger file 132 into a single manifest file 134 for checked baggage and / or passengers. The computing device 122 and / or the server 148 will then communicate a manifest file 134 to a travel information system 128 for a hosting entity 126.

[00295] The Departure Control System (DCS) may control the management of an airline's check-in process. The travel information system 108 or 110 may include a check-in indicator 144 that indicates that a passenger and / or their baggage(s) have been dispatched to travel within a specific window. In one or more modes, the airline may include a check-in database 146 for passengers and / or their baggage that Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 89 / 329 84 / 222 were dispatched for travel.

[00296] In one or more embodiments, baggage 138 may be fitted with a wireless tracking device 41 (Figure 2A). By way of non-limiting example, the wireless tracking device 41 may be a tracking device that may include accelerometers (ACC), gyroscopes, Global Positioning System (GPS) and / or an Inertial Navigation Unit (INU) to determine its own location. Such location may be sent to a computing device (i.e., the server 148) of the system 100. The wireless tracking device 41 may have a unique identifier, such as a registered serial number, a media access control (MAC) address or other uniquely assigned identifier, which may be stored in the LIM register 186.

[00297] Wireless tracking device 41 may be an AIRTAG from APPLE Inc., a Global Positioning System (GPS) tracker, a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) tracker, a GSM-5G tracker, a WIFI-enabled communication device, a BLUETOOTH Low Energy (BLE) device, a BLUETOOTH-enabled communication device, a short-range RF communication device, and a long-range communication device using compatible wireless communication protocols.

[00298] For short-range communication devices, such as, without limitation, a WIFI-enabled communication device, a BLUETOOTH Low Energy (BLE) device, and a BLUETOOTH-enabled communication device, system 100 may include remote network devices 127 on the hosting entity 126. In one or more embodiments, the remote network devices 127 may be those of the hosting entity 126 and used by system 100 to transport location data by the tracking device. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 90 / 329 85 / 222 wireless 41. Alternatively or additionally, some of the remote network devices 127 may be owned by the system 100 and others may be owned by the hosting entity 126.

[00299] In one or more modes, the Wireless Tracking Device 41 can be temporarily assigned to baggage. For example, the Wireless Tracking Device 41 can be configured to communicate in a designated area D10, such as inside a cruise ship, and in nearby areas, such as the dock. After disembarkation and baggage check-in for the return flight, for example, or at some other time, the Wireless Tracking Device 41 can be removed and reassigned to other baggage for the next cruise on the cruise ship.

[00300] For example, a cruise ship area (i.e., the designated area D10) may include the cruise ship and a 30-meter diameter around it. The cruise ship area (i.e., the designated area D10) may have networked receivers or communication devices to receive signals from the wireless tracking device 41. The diameter may be 3 to 15 meters, 3 to 23 meters, or 3 to 30 meters. The diameter may be up to 60 meters, up to 90 meters, up to 150 meters, or up to 300 meters around the cruise ship.

[00301] For long-range communication devices, such as, for example, an AIRTAG from APPLE Inc., a Global Positioning System (GPS) tracker, a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) tracker, and a GSM-5G tracker, they can communicate with cellular, satellite, and GSM communication service providers. Location signals can be sent to server 148 or another designated computing device for access and / or storage in the LIM register 186. In one or more embodiments, long-range communication devices can also be configured to communicate using communication protocols of Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 91 / 329 86 / 222 short range. In this case, the wireless tracking device 41 can communicate in the designated area D10 using short-range communication protocols, using remote network devices 127 or long-range communication protocols.

[00302] The 41 wireless tracking device can be used to track your location during a trip in any travel mode or in the next travel mode using long-range or short-range communications, depending on the configuration of the wireless tracking device.

[00303] The system can obtain lightweight passenger information by reading a barcode or Quick Response (QR) code associated with the original flight boarding pass. In some cases, the passenger's ticket may include information associated with a 10-digit identification number, which can be obtained from the passenger and placed on the baggage without the need to print an MK 136. For example, the passenger may receive a sticker marker from a flight attendant at the time of baggage check-in at the airport. EXAMPLE 1

[00304] An example scenario will be described in detail below. A passenger ready for a trip starts at home 102, where passenger 138's baggage originates, for example, and travels on leg L1 of trip 140. Passenger 138's baggage may travel with the passenger or via a baggage transport service to a first-mode airline 104, which initiates leg L2 of the trip. Assume that the first-mode airline 104 is an airline. At the first-mode airline 104, passenger 138's baggage receives a BT 142, as shown in Figure 1B. The BT 142 includes printed information representative of the O Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 92 / 329 87 / 222 BTI 114, compatible with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) baggage tag format. A BT 142 can be printed on paper or composite paper at the airline counter by an airline agent, a baggage handling service, or by the passenger at a kiosk. The BT 142 remains in the passenger's baggage 138 while it travels on the L3 segment of the journey, if used, as described later. In one or more modes, after printing the BT 142, the passenger can capture at least one image of the BT 142, as described later, and communicate at least one image to the computing device 122 or the server 148.

[00305] The passenger's journey will include a lodging entity 126. In this example, consider lodging entity 126 to be a cruise ship. In one or more modes, before the passenger embarks on a cruise (i.e., lodging entity 126), the BT 142 with the O-BTI 114 is scanned by scanner 116 to scan the printed representation of the O-BTI 114 or imaged by an imaging device to scan the passenger's personal information printed on the BT 142. The passenger's personal information may include their unique PNR number. The passenger's personal information may include the passenger's name. The passenger's personal information may include the O-BTI 114 created by optical character recognition in a format that is machine-coded text, for example.

[00306] In several scenarios, the passenger's journey may include segment L2 and segment L3. For example, if there is only one primary mode airline, segment L3 will be omitted. In this case, the primary mode airline may provide a direct flight to a nearby or local city or destination to the accommodation entity 126. In Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 93 / 329 88 / 222 other examples, a passenger's trip may include an intermediary airline 106 to provide the L3 segment. For example, a passenger's trip may include at least one connecting flight or travel segment to a city or destination near the accommodation entity 126. The connecting segment may be designated as segment L3, which begins at the end of segment L2 and ends at a DP 107.

[00307] Communication instructions can identify information associated with tools (i.e., programming instructions) compatible with the Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP / IP), File Transfer Protocol (FTS), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), and User Datagram Protocol (UDP).

[00308] In one or more embodiments, server 148 and travel information system 128 may be integrated into the same computing system. In other embodiments, server 148 may be integrated into travel information system 108 or 110.

[00309] Figure 2A illustrates a block diagram of a security screening zone 37. An example of a security screening zone 37 is described in “Planning Guidelines and Design Standards for Checked Baggage Inspection Systems,” by the Transportation Security Administration, Version 8.0, Chapter 12, December 30, 2022.

[00310] Security screening zone 37 may include a baggage handling system 63. The baggage handling system 63 in security screening zone 37 may assign a unique tracking ID or pseudoID (hereinafter referred to as PID) to each baggage item 138 that enters security screening zone 37. The PID may be used for positive tracking of Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 94 / 329 89 / 222 baggage, as required by the TSA. Other screening authorities may have a different process. Positive baggage tracking tracks the movement of a baggage item within zone 37, for example.

[00311] The automatic tag reader 68 in security screening zone 37 can be configured to read the IATA identification number barcode on a baggage tag or receive an RFID signal from an RFID-compatible baggage tag. The automatic tag reader 68, being part of the baggage handling system 63, can associate and / or maintain the PID 204 and the IATA identification number 202 for the baggage items being scanned in security screening zone 37. The barcode can be converted into a plate number (i.e., baggage tag identifier or BTI).

[00312] The PID can be communicated from the baggage handling system 63 via the BHS device 67 to the SS imaging machine 45, where the PID is a primary ID. In systems where an automatic tag reader 68 is present, the IATA identification number (LPN) 202 can be communicated from the baggage handling system 63 to the SS imaging machine 45.

[00313] In one or more modes, the SS 45 imaging machine may not accept the PID and IATA identification number. In this example, the IATA identification number may be reported to the SS 45 imaging machine as a primary ID.

[00314] In one example, the SS 45 imaging machine can generate a PID 204', such as when a PID 204 from baggage handling system 63 is not available. The SSI 45 imaging machine can include an image capture device 237 Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 95 / 329 90 / 222 to capture image data 210 (Figure 2B). The image capture device 237 will be described in more detail later. The SS 45 imaging machine can generate metadata 208, such as a machine identifier (MID) 225. Other metadata 208 may include machine settings, date and time stamp, manufacturer, and location data. The machine identifier 225 can be used to determine whether the images and security screening data conform to the standards required by a specific government agency in any country.

[00315] Each BHS has machines at airport locations. Baggage can be placed in containers 217 that include RFID chips / transmitters 223 that can be received by BHS RFID receivers at a specific airport. The container 217 can travel along a BHS conveyor belt system. All BHS scanning and receiving activities can be tracked and stored in memory by a BHS computer system, an airline-associated computer system, or another designated computer system. For example, information associated with baggage traveling on an airline can be stored in memory and accessible by an airline-associated computer system or another designated computer system, regardless of which BHS scanned or received an RFID signal associated with the baggage.

[00316] In one or more embodiments, the PID may include the RFID sequence generated by the RFID 223 chip / transmitter. In one or more embodiments, the PID may be encoded with the RFID sequence or portion received from the RFID 223 chip / transmitter.

[00317] A new PID 204” may be an encoded PID that includes a PID generated by BHS 63 and the RFID sequence or part of the container 217, for example. The security tracking zone may have one or more BHS devices that may include RFID readers to receive Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 96 / 329 91 / 222 the container RFID and read the IATA identification number or receive a signal that includes an RFID representing the IATA identification number. In one or more embodiments, the container RFID can be obtained from a Type-B message using the IATA identification number. In one or more embodiments, the container RFID can be communicated to the SS 45, 50 imaging machine. The SSI and stored data 113 may include the container RFID.

[00318] As used herein, the term PID means both the pseudo ID and the primary ID for security screening purposes.

[00319] Figure 2B illustrates a block diagram of a secure cloud data storage 201 of the security screening image and the data 113 generated in the security screening zone 37, according to one embodiment. At each airport, security screening of checked baggage items can be performed by several SS 45 and 50 imaging machines. The SS 45 and 50 imaging machines at an airport may be from a single manufacturer or from different manufacturers. In that case, for a workstation to view the images, it needs the appropriate viewing software. This can be very expensive to maintain and implement nationwide or globally to share the security screening images captured by one of the SS 45 and 50 imaging machines. A given baggage may pass through an SS imaging machine, where the contents within the baggage space volume are captured.

[00320] In one or more modes, access to secure cloud data storage 201 is limited. In some modes, the data stored by storage 201 may be encrypted. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 97 / 329 92 / 222

[00321] Each SS 45, 50 imaging machine can upload to a secure cloud system 201 the LPN 202, the PID 204 (or PID 204'), the SSI filename 206 associated with the security screening image (SSI), and the data 113. The SSI filename 206 can be associated with the security screening image and the data 113 of the contents within a baggage space volume associated with the LPN 202 and the PID 204. The SS 45, 50 imaging machine can include metadata 208 with the SSI filename 206. The metadata 208 can include a machine identifier (MID) 225, for example. The machine identifier 225 can be a manufacturer serial number or a product identifier. The machine identifier 225 can be a digital identifier.

[00322] Metadata 208 may include an Internet Protocol (IP) address, a network address, a private IP address, a local area network (LAN) address, or similar. Metadata 208 may include a timestamp. Image data 210 is stored by the SSI filename 206 and can be accessed by PID 204 or PID 204' or by the SSI filename 206, for example. Image data 210 may include tomogram data, for example.

[00323] Figure 2C illustrates a block diagram of a data translator 250 to translate the security screening image and the security screening zone data 113, according to one embodiment. The LIM record depersonalizer 188 may include a data translator 250 to hide the original PID 204 or 204'. The 250 data translator may include programming instructions that, when executed, cause the reassignment of a 204 PID by a PID reassignor.The PID reassigner can link the original PID 204 or 204' to the new PID 204” and store the PIDs 204 or 204' with 204” and the LPN 202 in a secure database 232 as entry 234. Entry 234 can self-delete after a predetermined period of time or after the flight. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 98 / 329 93 / 222 having passed through all potential screenings in a border crossing country. As used here, PID 204, 204' and 204' may refer to a primary identifier based on a pseudo-identifier created in a secure screening zone to positively track baggage subjected to security screening (i.e., explosives detection) for air travel.

[00324] Data translator 250 may include programming instructions that, when executed, cause the SSI filename 206 to be encoded by filename encoder 270, producing the SSI filename '206'. Filename encoder 270 may include programming instructions that, when executed, may perform method 800 of Figure 8. Alternatively, filename encoder 270 may include programming instructions that, when executed, may cause the SSI filename 206 to be encoded, generating a sequence of digits to name a file in a memory location called SSI filename '206'.

[00325] The LIM 188 record depersonalizer may include programming instructions that, when executed, generate image and security screening data 113' in a secure database 213. The database 213 may be separate from the secure database 232. The image and security screening data 113' may link the PID 204', an SSI-encoded filename 206' of the image data 210, and the image data 210. The image and security screening data 113' may include metadata 208.

[00326] Figure 3A illustrates a block diagram of a virtual security screening image sharing system 300A (hereinafter referred to as the 300A image sharing system) according to one embodiment. The 300A image sharing system may include a secure cloud computing system 310. The secure cloud computing system 310 Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 99 / 329 94 / 222 can be provided by services on-premises or remotely, such as in the cloud, through providers operating under the brands MICROSOFT AZURE, AMAZON WEB SERVICES, RACKSPACE, and KAMATERA, by way of example, but not limited to.

[00327] Secure cloud computing system 310 can communicate with a secure cloud system 301. Secure cloud computing system 310 and secure cloud system 301 can be the same system. Secure cloud system 301 can perform the activities of the SSIA mechanism 175, for example. Secure cloud system 301 can include a metadata analyzer 303. Metadata analyzer 303 can include programming instructions that, when executed, can analyze metadata 208 for the SS 45, 50 imaging machine manufacturer or model to determine which countries (CC) will allow the 45, 50 machine image data 210 to be used for customs and / or security analysis. The countries (CC) can be based on the termination or transfer airport code (AC) in a Type B message. Each country can determine whether the image data 210 from a specific machine 45, 50 is acceptable or not.In other modes, instead of analyzing metadata 208, a lookup table can be used for collaborating airports. For example, the airport code (AC) in the Type-B message associated with a baggage origin indicator can indicate whether the border crossing airport will allow the sharing of image data 210 for customs clearance or security screening when transferring baggage to another airline in the country. The lookup table can indicate collaborating airports by airport code. If an airport is not collaborating, image data will not be shared. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 100 / 329 95 / 222

[00328] In one or more embodiments, the 210 image data produced by machines 45 and 50 may be acceptable for customs screening but not for aviation screening when transferring baggage items to another airline in the same country. In one or more embodiments, certain countries may allow the 210 image data produced by machines 45 and 50 to be acceptable for both customs screening and aviation screening when transferring baggage items to another airline in the same country.

[00329] The programming instructions for the secure cloud computing system 310 may include programming instructions that, when executed, provide virtual machines 330. For example, virtual machines 330 may include virtual machines 332, 334, 336, and 338. Each virtual machine may have a corresponding SSI visualization application, or one or more SSI visualization applications may be shared. For example, virtual machine 332 may include SSI visualization application 342. Virtual machine 334 may include SSI visualization application 344. Virtual machine 336 may include SSI visualization application 346. Virtual machine 338 may include SSI visualization application 348. An SSI visualization application may be compatible for viewing captured SSI and data associated with a corresponding SS imaging machine.

[00330] Although the explanation here refers to four virtual machines 332, 334, 336 and 338, any number of virtual machines can be used to accommodate the volume of baggage items that need to be processed daily.

[00331] In one example, the programming instructions for the secure cloud computing system 310 may include programming instructions that, when executed, provide a data library. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 101 / 329 96 / 222 of depersonalized shared files 312A. The depersonalized shared files data library 312A can be accessed by the virtual machine 332 and the SSI visualization application. 342. By way of non-limiting example, the depersonalized shared files data library 312 may include a plurality of virtual memories 314 for storing loaded SSIs and data tagged with PID 204, 204' or 204” and SSI filename 206 or 206'. The loaded SSIs and data may be tagged with other identifiers, such as a flight number and / or a unique tracking device identifier.

[00332] In one example, the programming instructions for the secure cloud computing system 310 may include programming instructions that, when executed, provide a plurality of depersonalized shared file data libraries 312A and 312B. Each library may be for an airline. Each library may be for a different country. Each library may be for a different SS imaging machine. The virtual memories may be partitioned by country, SS imaging machine, or other criteria.

[00333] Depending on the security screening zone 37, the SS 45, 50 imaging machines may be of the same model and manufacturer at a given airport. In this case, the SSI visualization application 342 can view the SSI of baggage items on board an airline that departed from the airport and was scheduled to arrive at a border crossing airport. In one example, communication 302 with a computer station SS 372 (i.e., computer station SS 1072A) may include depersonalized file sharing data 306A associated with data from a LIM record for a baggage item with the SSI and data 113 captured by the SS 45 imaging machine. The data Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 102 / 329 97 / 222 of depersonalized file sharing 306B are associated with data from a LIM 186 record for a baggage item with SSI and data 113 captured by the SS 50 imaging machine. The SS 50 imaging machine may be different from the SS 45 imaging machine. The SSI associated with depersonalized file sharing data 306A from the SS 45 imaging machine may require an SSI 342 viewing application to view the image data on a display screen. The SSI associated with depersonalized file sharing data 306B from the SS 50 imaging machine may require an SSI 344 viewing application to view the image data on a display screen.

[00334] The depersonalized file sharing data 306A or 306b will be described in relation to Figures 9A and 9B. Communication 302 may include a link or access to the assigned virtual machine 332, 334, 336 or 338 to be used by a respective SS computer station 372.

[00335] In one or more embodiments, the respective SS 372 computer station may be assigned to a dedicated virtual machine. However, the secure cloud computing system 310 may include virtual memories to store a library of SSI 342, 344, 346, and 348 visualization applications, which may be loaded individually into the virtual machine as needed to review the SSI with the compatible visualization application.

[00336] By way of non-limiting example, communication 302 may include a plurality of depersonalized LIM records in a depersonalized baggage manifest 321 (i.e., depersonalized baggage manifest 1211...121x) for different baggage items that have SSIs requiring viewing by the SSI viewing application 342, for example, provided under data sharing of Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 103 / 329 98 / 222 depersonalized files 306A. Communication 302 may include a plurality of depersonalized LIM records for different baggage items that have SSI that require viewing by the SSI viewing application 344, for example, provided under depersonalized file sharing data 306B.

[00337] In one or more embodiments, a first communication 302 to the SS computer station 372 may include a depersonalised baggage manifest 321 (i.e., depersonalised baggage manifest 1211 ... 121x) for different baggage items that have SSI that require viewing by the SSI viewing application 342, for example, provided in depersonalised file sharing data 306A.

[00338] A second communication 302 to another SS computer station may receive a depersonalized baggage manifest 321 (i.e., depersonalized baggage manifest 1211.121x) for different baggage items that have SSI that require viewing by the SSI viewing application 344, for example, provided in depersonalized file sharing data 306B.

[00339] A customs authority may have multiple SS computer stations operated by personnel. Each station may receive a different list of baggage items in a non-personalized baggage manifest for screening in accordance with customs rules and regulations. These baggage items may be identified from a flight manifest.

[00340] In one or more embodiments, a portion of the image and security screening data 113 stored in a secure cloud system 301 can be transferred to one of the virtual memories 314. For example, one of the virtual memories 314 might store the image and security screening data 113 for those baggage items on a flight that may require screening by the authority. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 104 / 329 99 / 222 customs. The image and security screening data 113' may include PID 204, PID 204' or 204', the SSI filename 206 or 206' and the image data captured by the image capture device 237. The image and security screening data 113' may include MID 225 or other metadata 208. However, the image and security screening data 113' may be devoid of PII. Another of the virtual memories 314 may store the image and security screening data 113' for baggage items on another flight that may require screening by the customs authority in a different border crossing country or in the same border crossing country.

[00341] Image data may have certain copyrights associated with them. By way of non-limiting example, the programming instructions of the secure cloud computing system 310 may include a controlled visualization processing agent 320. The programming instructions of the controlled visualization processing agent 320, when executed, may allow a single viewing of the SSI and data 113', according to a permission set 327. The system 100, the government, or another party may have a contractual agreement to pay or otherwise control the viewing of copyrighted data to the manufacturer of the imaging machines SS 45, 50. For example, the permission set 327 may approve a single viewing or access to the SSI and data 113' stored in virtual memory 314. The permission set 327 may include a duration.For example, a preview window can be used for baggage item files on a flight scheduled to land at a border crossing airport, where the preview window is set for a period of time for the release of the flight's baggage items.

[00342] Processing agent programming instructions Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 105 / 329 100 / 222 single view 320, when executed, can perform an image deletion process 325 to delete the SSI and data 113' from virtual memory 314 and the secure cloud computing system 310, after a single view, a period of time or other criteria.

[00343] Although virtual memory is described as software and hardware, process 325 cleans, wipes, or otherwise deletes the SSI and data 113' stored after the permission set criterion 327 is met, so that it is not possible to recover them for further viewing by the SSI viewing application. Cleaning or deleting memory files can be done with off-the-shelf products.

[00344] In one or more modes, the stored data themselves can be marked for single access.

[00345] Figure 3B illustrates a block diagram of a virtual security screening image sharing system 300B (hereinafter referred to as image sharing system 300B) according to one embodiment. Image sharing system 300B is similar to image sharing system 300A. Consequently, only the differences will be described. In one example, the programming instructions of the secure cloud computing system 310' may include programming instructions that, when executed, access virtual memory 314' in the secure cloud system 301. Virtual memories 314' may store the image and security screening data 113', as described in relation to Figure 3A. In operation, virtual machines 330 can access the image and security screening data 113' stored in virtual memories 314'.

[00346] Figure 3C illustrates a block diagram of a system of Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 106 / 329 101 / 222 Virtual Security Screening Image Sharing 300C using a content list (CL) (hereinafter “300C image sharing system”) according to a modality. Figure 3C shows similarities to Figures 3A and 3B. Therefore, only the differences will be described.

[00347] The programming instructions for the secure cloud computing system 310” may include programming instructions that, when executed, provide virtual machines 330’. For example, virtual machines 330’ may include virtual machines 332’, 334’, 336’, and 338’. Each virtual machine may have a corresponding customs screening unit 352, 354, 356, and 358. An example, customs screening unit 356, will be described.

[00348] Customs screening unit 356 may include an artificial intelligence (AI) customs screening model 370. The AI ​​customs screening model 370 may include programming instructions, which when executed cause the screening of a list of received contents to develop from the contents within a volume of baggage item space to determine whether the baggage item is cleared to pass through customs without further examination or inspection by the customs authority in the country of border crossing.

[00349] The AI ​​customs screening model 370 may include programming instructions that, when executed, may result in the receipt of a customs list 373 and / or a country code (CC) 374, as each country may have its own training dataset for clearing baggage through an artificial intelligence (AI) customs screening process. The AI ​​customs screening model 370 may include programming instructions that, when executed, may result in the receipt of limits 378. By way of non-limiting example, certain products or objects Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 107 / 329 102 / 222 have limits on the amount that can be inserted into a country, like currency.

[00350] The AI-powered customs screening model 370 may include programming instructions that, when executed, generate the receipt of a controlled items list 376A and / or a prohibited items list 376B to train the model 370. By way of non-limiting example, the customs authority may control or prohibit the entry of certain products, objects, animals or things into the country. By way of non-limiting example, certain medicines, chemicals, agricultural products (e.g., seeds), animals, etc. may be prohibited or banned in one country but permitted in another.

[00351] Country code (CC) 374 can be determined from the airport code. The country code can be extrapolated from the airport code based on a lookup table that maps country codes and airport codes.

[00352] The AI ​​370 customs screening model may include programming instructions that, when executed, generate a 380 result. By way of non-limiting example, the 380 result may represent approval by the customs authority without the need for further examination or inspection by the customs authority of the country of border crossing. By way of non-limiting example, the 380 result may represent non-approval, meaning that further analysis or inspection by the customs authority of the country of border crossing may be required.

[00353] The AI ​​customs screening model 370 may include programming instructions that, when executed, generate exceptions 382 to train the model 370. By way of a non-limiting example, a cell phone (i.e., an object) from a particular manufacturer may be banned in a particular country. A controlled object may be controlled with Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 108 / 329 103 / 222 based on the insertion of quantities (i.e., limits) and / or on a specific manufacturer or model (i.e., an exception). Certain training data can be used in real time to train a model as new rules and regulations change in each country.

[00354] The AI ​​370 customs screening model may include programming instructions that, when executed, employ machine learning (ML) or artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. ML / AL algorithms may include neural networks, Bayesian networks, tree-based models, supervised learning algorithms, and reinforcement learning algorithms.

[00355] As can be seen, describing each object, exception or limit by country here is prohibitive.

[00356] The 300C image sharing system may include a bank of 360 AI content list generators. The 360 ​​AI content list generators may include 362, 364, 366, and 368 AI content list generators. Each 362, 364, 366, and 368 AI content list generator may include an AI model 369 trained to generate a content list 373 based on the SSI and data 113 captured by a specific SS imaging machine 45 or 50. The content list 373 may be stored in memory, as virtual memory, for access by virtual machines 330. In one or more modes, the content list 373 may be sent to a virtual machine according to a flight landing schedule. For example, the contents list can be reviewed by the SS 372 computer station before the airline lands at the border crossing airport.In this case, the baggage handling system can be programmed with information about the baggage items that require screening by customs authorities to expedite the processing of baggage items in a flight manifest.

[00357] Although only two SS imaging machines,. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 109 / 329 104 / 222 and 50, collectively, airports around the world may have any number of SS imaging machines, which differ from country to country. An AI model 369 can receive training data for different models of the same SS imaging machine manufacturer, such as when machines are replaced for repair or upgrade. The contents list 373 can be accessed via depersonalized file sharing data 306A or 306B, for example, by the SS computer station 372. The AI ​​contents list generator 364 can generate a list of contents within the space volume of a bag whose entry is prohibited or controlled in a country. The contents list may include a combination of ingredients or materials that, if combined, could create a hazardous material prohibited or controlled by the country.

[00358] Virtual memories 314' can store the image and security screening data 113. By way of non-limiting example, the image and security screening data 113 stored in virtual memory 314” of the SS 45 imaging machine can be sent to the AI ​​content list generator 362. However, the image and security screening data 113 stored in virtual memory 314” of the SS 50 imaging machine can be sent to the AI ​​content list generator 364.

[00359] In one example, memory devices may store a list of contents 373. In one or more embodiments, instead of the list of contents 373, a list of contents identifier or locator may be stored in memory. The list of contents identifier or locator may locate the list of contents in a list of contents database. The list of contents 373 may also be used for different transport vehicles.

[00360] The system can use a search algorithm to search Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 110 / 329 105 / 222 in the content list for prohibited items in the travel vehicle associated with the second travel mode.

[00361] The methods described below describe a specific sequence of operations. The sequence can be altered without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, some of the described operations can be performed in parallel or in a different sequence that does not materially affect the function of the methods. In other examples, different components of an exemplary device or system implementing the methods may perform functions substantially simultaneously or in a specific sequence. In one or more sequences, one or more acts, blocks, or events may be omitted.

[00362] In one or more modes, the AI-generated contents list, referring to the volume of space within the baggage, can be used to identify lost or misplaced baggage through identifiable contents in the contents list. The PID 204, 204' or 204” can be used to extrapolate to the identification number 202. From the identification number 202, the passenger's name can be determined to match the passenger with their baggage.

[00363] The list of contents may be based on three-dimensional (3D) tomography data or other X-ray data. The 3D data may be generated by computed tomography scanners.

[00364] Figure 4 illustrates a flowchart of a 400 method for retrieving and transferring depersonalized security screening images for use by a customs authority in accordance with an embodiment.

[00365] Method 400 may include, in block 402, the obtaining, by at least one of the system processors, of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) identification number of a passenger's checked baggage. Obtaining the Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 111 / 329 106 / 222 The IATA identification number may involve the receipt, by at least one of the system processors, of a Type-B message generated by a computer system associated with an airline in the country of origin or the country of border crossing. The processor for obtaining the identification number of a passenger's checked baggage can be described in relation to Figures 5A or 5B.

[00366] Method 400 may include, in block 404, querying, by at least one of the processors, a database for a primary identifier (PID) that is associated with a Security Screening Image (SSI) of contents within a checked baggage item space volume or information associated with a contents list (CL) derived from the SSI, based on the obtained IATA identification number.

[00367] In one or more embodiments, the PID is generated by one of the baggage handling systems 63 that transports the baggage to a security screening imaging machine 45, 50 in a country of origin that captures the SSI or the security screening imaging machine. In one or more embodiments, the PID (i.e., PID 204) may be linked to the PID (i.e., PID 204 or 204') generated by the baggage handling system 63 or the security screening imaging machine 45, 50.

[00368] Method 400 may include, in Block 405, a Security Screening Integration Assistant (SSIA) 405 process to depersonalize data from Security Screening image files for sharing with other authorities, including authorities around the world. The Security Screening Integration Assistant (SSIA) 405 process may include Blocks 406, 408, and 410 described below.

[00369] Process 405 of method 400 may include, in block 406, the Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 112 / 329 107 / 222 depersonalization, by at least one of the at least one processor, of security screening image file sharing (SSI) data to understand PID 204, 204' or 204” and a hyperlink to the database or a secondary shared memory location to access the SSI or CL.

[00370] Figure 9A illustrates a block diagram of a list of 950 depersonalizable Security Screening Image (SSI) file-sharing data, according to a modality. The list can be associated with a depersonalized baggage manifest 1211, for example, associated with a flight manifest. The list of 950 depersonalizable Security Screening Image (SSI) file-sharing data can include depersonalized file-sharing data 306A or 306B (Figures 3A-3C).

[00371] In one example, the depersonalized SSI file-sharing data might include a pseudo-identifier (PID) 204” with an embedded hyperlink 954 to the SSI in the database or to a different designated access memory location. The PID 204” can be communicated to a workstation (i.e., computer station SS 372 of Figure 3A) of the customs authority and displayed on the screen of a display device as text (numeric, alphabetic, or alphanumeric) using hyperlink or hypertext protocols. Selecting the hyperlink 954 can cause an application or browser installed on the workstation to navigate to one of the virtual machines 330 to access an SSI file associated with the PID.

[00372] Figure 9B illustrates a block diagram of another list 950' of non-personalized security screening image (SSI) file-sharing data, according to one embodiment. List 950' can be associated with a non-personalized baggage manifest 1211, for example, associated with a flight manifest. List 950' of security screening image file-sharing data Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 113 / 329 Non-personalized 108 / 222 security (SSI) data may include non-personalized file sharing data 306A or 306B (Figures 3A3C).

[00373] In one example, the depersonalized SSI file sharing data may include a pseudo-identifier (PID) 204” and the SSI file name, where the SSI file name 206 or 206’ has an embedded link 954’ in the database or in a different designated access memory location. The depersonalized SSI file sharing data may be communicated to a customs authority workstation (i.e., computer station SS 372 of Figure 3A) and displayed on the screen of a display device as text (numeric, alphabetic, or alphanumeric) using hyperlink or hypertext protocols.Selecting the text associated with the hyperlink or hypertext using a user interface, such as a mouse, pen, or touchscreen, can cause a browser or application on the workstation to automatically navigate to one of the 330 virtual machines to access the corresponding file in a database or a different designated access memory location. In one example, the customs authority workstation might be equipped with software for viewing the SSI. In this example, the workstation might be equipped with an application that can view the SSI on the workstation's display device.

[00374] In one example, selecting the text associated with a hyperlink or hypertext using a user interface, such as a mouse, pen, or touch screen, can automatically navigate from a browser or application on a computer station SS 372 of Figure 3A to a virtual machine or hypervisor to download and / or view the SSI. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 114 / 329 109 / 222

[00375] In view of the invention herein, other hyperlinks may be used to provide the SS 372 computer station of Figure 3A with access to the SSI and related data.

[00376] Process 405 of method 400 may include, in block 408, the assembly, by at least one of the processors, of a communication packet that includes SSI file-sharing data, wherein the communication packet is devoid of personally identifiable passenger information. The assembly, in block 408, may include the incorporation of a flight number with the depersonalized SSI file-sharing data. The assembly, in block 408, may include the incorporation of 208 metadata with the depersonalized SSI file-sharing data.

[00377] Process 405 of method 400 may include, in block 410, communicating, by at least one of the at least one processor, the communication packet assembled to an authorized computer workstation associated with a border crossing country.

[00378] Method 400 may include, in block 412, the repetition of blocks 402 to 410 for all numbers of the IATA identification number in a list of plates associated with a flight. At the end of block 412, a list such as that shown in Figures 9A or 9B may be generated. However, based on the MID data, the list may be parsed so that computer station SS 372 in Figure 3A receives the PIDs associated with imager 45, while another station receives the PIDs of imager 50.

[00379] The order of blocks 410 and 412 may be changed in some modes. Therefore, block 410 is shown as a dashed box in process block 405.

[00380] Method 400 may include, in block 414, the start of the security / customs screening process for baggage items. For example, as a non-limiting example, one of the virtual machines Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 115 / 329 110 / 222 330 may need to be assigned to a workstation (i.e., computer station SS 372 in Figure 3A) of the customs authority. In another example, virtual machines 330 may be assigned according to a flight schedule. In another example, content lists 373 may be sent to an assigned virtual machine 330 to initialize the security / customs screening process.

[00381] In some cases, a bordering country may use a contents list for additional screening on air travel when baggage is being transferred to another airline. In this case, the baggage may bypass the imaging examination using the SS imaging machines at the border crossing airport.

[00382] In one or more modes, the security / customs screening process can be fully automated, according to an AI mechanism, in a first assessment stage. A second assessment stage requires a security agent to inspect the baggage, if necessary.

[00383] The steps in block 402 will be described in relation to the examples in Figure 5A and Figure 5B.

[00384] Figure 5A illustrates a flowchart of a 500A method for identifying transferred or terminated baggage items at a border crossing airport based on a flight number or airport code according to a modality.

[00385] Method 500A may include, in block 502A, the receipt, by at least one of the system's processors, of a plurality of Type-B messages from a computer system associated with an airline or other designated computer system. The Type-B message may be generated by a computer system associated with an airline in the country of origin of the flight or in the country of border crossing where the flight lands.

[00386] In one or more modes, the Type-B message can Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 116 / 329 111 / 222 could be a transfer baggage origin message or a termination baggage origin message.

[00387] Method 500A may include, in block 504A, the classification, by at least one of the at least one processor, of the plurality of Type-B messages based on at least one airport code, flight number, or baggage origin indicator defined as transfer or termination.

[00388] Method 500A may include, in block 506A, the identification, by at least one of the processors, of all IATA identification number digits associated with the flight number.

[00389] Method 500A may include, in block 508A, generating, by at least one of the at least one processor, a list of all IATA identification number numbers associated with the flight number.

[00390] Method 500A may include, in block 510A, selecting, by at least one of the at least one processor, a respective IATA identification number to obtain the IATA identification number from the list of identification number numbers.

[00391] Figure 5B illustrates a flowchart of a 500B method for identifying transferred or terminated baggage items at a border crossing airport based on a flight number, airport code, or passenger list (or flight manifest) according to a modality.

[00392] Method 500B may include, in block 501B, the receipt, by at least one of the system's processors, of a flight manifest generated by a computer system associated with an airline for landing at an airport in the country of border crossing. The flight manifest may include a list of passenger names associated with a flight number. The flight manifest may include a list of passenger names and identification number numbers. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 117 / 329 112 / 222

[00393] Method 500B may include, in block 502B, the receipt, by at least one of the processors, of a plurality of Type-B messages from a computer system associated with an airline. The Type-B message may be generated by a computer system associated with an airline in the country of origin of the flight or in the country of border crossing where the flight lands.

[00394] In one or more modes, the Type-B message may be a transfer baggage origin message or a termination baggage origin message. The baggage origin message may include a baggage origin indicator that indicates that the message is a transfer baggage origin message or a termination baggage origin message. The baggage origin message may include an airport code associated with the baggage origin indicator to identify at which airport the baggage will be transferred or from where it will be unloaded upon landing and disembarking from your current airline.

[00395] Method 500B may include, in block 504B, the classification, by at least one of the processors, of the plurality of Type-B messages based on at least two of the following: airport code, flight number, passenger name from a list of passenger names, or baggage origin indicator defined as transfer or termination. The list of passenger names may be a flight manifest associated with the flight number.

[00396] Method 500B may include, in block 506B, the identification, by at least one of the processors, of all IATA identification number numbers associated with the passenger name list.

[00397] Method 500B may include, in block 508B, the generation, by at least one of the processors, of a list of identification number numbers of all IATA identification number numbers associated with the passenger name list or flight manifest. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 118 / 329 113 / 222

[00398] Method 500B may include, in block 510B, selecting, by at least one of the processors, a respective IATA identification number to obtain the IATA identification number from the list of identification numbers.

[00399] Figure 6 illustrates a flowchart of a method 600 for identifying baggage items requiring re-sorting for transfer to a second airline, according to a modality. Method 600 may include, in block 602, identifying, by at least one of the system processors, whether the checked baggage item is being transferred to travel operators at a border crossing in the country of border crossing, such as at a border crossing airport.

[00400] Method 600 may include, in block 602, the identification, by at least one of the system processors, of the passenger associated with a respective IATA identification number. Method 600 may include, in block 604, the obtaining, by at least one of the system processors, of personal identification information of the passenger associated with a respective IATA identification number. By way of non-limiting example, personal identification information may be identified from PNR data stored in PNR 112 (Figure 1B). PNR data may be retrieved by extracting the PNR number from a Type-B message, such as a baggage origin message described in Figure 14.

[00401] Method 600 may include, in block 606, the assembly, by at least one of the system's processors, of a (second) communication packet that includes SSI file-sharing data and the passenger's personal identification information. Method 600 may include, in block 608, the communication, by at least one of the system's processors, of the (second) assembled communication packet. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 119 / 329 114 / 222 to a second authorized computer workstation associated with the country of border crossing before baggage is loaded onto a connecting flight.

[00402] Method 600 may include, in block 610, the repetition of blocks 601 to 608, by at least one of the system processors, for each baggage item identified in a flight manifest as being transferred to another flight. The order of 608 and 610 may vary.

[00403] Method 600 may include, in block 612, the start of the security screening process for baggage items. For example, by way of a non-limiting example, one of the virtual machines 330 may need to be assigned to a workstation (i.e., computer station SS 372 of Figure 3A) of the customs authority. In another example, virtual machines 330 may be assigned according to a flight schedule. In another example, content lists 373 may be sent to an assigned virtual machine 330 to initialize the security / customs screening process.

[00404] In one or more modes, the SSI file name may be a 206' encoded SSI file name without the need to send the passenger's personal identification information separately.

[00405] Figure 7 illustrates a flowchart of a method 700 for tracking baggage using the PID loaded on a tracking device 41, according to one embodiment. The tracking device 41 is presented in more detail in Figure 12A. The method 700 may include, in block 702, the association, by at least one of the system processors, of a unique tracking device identifier to the tracking device 41. The method 700 may include, in block 704, the upload, by at least one of the system processors, of the baggage PID 204, 204' or 204” onto the tracking device 41 affixed to or associated with the baggage. The method 700 may Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 120 / 329 Method 115 / 222 may include, in block 706, the linking, by at least one of the system processors, of the baggage PID to the unique identifier of the tracking device. Method 700 may include, in block 708, the storage, by at least one of the system processors, of the baggage PID with the unique identifier of the tracking device in a secure database. Method 700 may include, in block 710, the identification, by at least one of the system processors, of whether the checked baggage item is being shipped by an airline used to reach the border at the border crossing airport.

[00406] Method 700 may include, in block 712, the tracking, by at least one of the system processors, of the baggage item using the PID loaded on tracking device 41 outside the airport infrastructure while the baggage item is being transported to a second mode of travel.

[00407] Figure 8 illustrates a flowchart of an 800 method for converting a security screening image filename into a 206' encoded security screening image filename according to an embodiment.

[00408] Method 800 may include, in block 802, the identification, by at least one of the system processors, of the passenger associated with a respective IATA identification number from a Type-B message. The passenger may be identified by the passenger name and / or the passenger name registration number (PNR) found in the Type-B message, such as a BSM.

[00409] Method 800 may include, in block 804, the acquisition, by at least one of the system processors, of a PNR number. Method 800 may include, in block 806, the acquisition, by at least one of the system processors, of Personal Identification Information (PII) from PNR 112 (Figure 1B) or from another memory device with Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 121 / 329 116 / 222 PII associated with the passenger's name or PNR number. Method 800 may include, in block 808, the encoding, by at least one of the system processors, of the SSI file name containing the PII.

[00410] PII may include the passenger's date of birth, where part of the filename may include a sequence of numbers representing the date of birth. For example, PII may include a passport number, where part of the filename may include a sequence of numbers representing the entirety or part of the passport number. For example, PII may include a social security number, where part of the filename may include a sequence of numbers representing the entirety or part of the social security number or government-issued identity number. For example, PII may include a unique identifier, where part of the filename may include a sequence of numbers representing the entirety or part of the unique identifier.In one example, PII files might include a driver's license number, where part of the filename might include a sequence of numbers representing all or part of the driver's license number.

[00411] The programming instruction that, when executed, encodes the SSI filename may include the generation of an SSI filename that includes the date of birth or part thereof. The programming instruction that, when executed, encodes the SSI filename may include the generation of an SSI filename that includes part of a passenger's social security number. For example, the last four digits. The encoding may include all the digits of the PII in another example. The encoding may transpose the digits in a different order to hide the PII.

[00412] In one or more modalities, a passenger may register for a service with approval or permission to provide a Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 122 / 329 117 / 222 date of birth to a foreign government. Integrated Security Screening Process

[00413] Figure 10A illustrates a method 1000A for handling files for an integrated security screening process of baggage items that need to be processed by a security screening station according to a modality. The Integrated Security Screening Station (ISSS) 1070 may include, for example, CBP, the Coast Guard, the TSA, government customs entities at a border crossing such as airports, trains, buses or docks, private security screening entities for cruise ships and private security screening entities for hotels.

[00414] The processes described here may allow images and security data 113' to be transferred between government-to-government entities, business-to-business entities, and government-to-business entities without passing PII data using, for example, a Type-B message, an IATA identification number, and / or a PNR number.

[00415] Method 1000A may involve a processor receiving a trigger on 1002. The trigger may have been received from the security screening trigger generator 170. The trigger may be based on information from an airline flight manifest for passengers / baggage departing from an airline. This is an example of an international flight where all passengers / baggage may need to be processed by ISSS 1070, such as CBP or another customs authority, for example. The trigger may be based on information from a cruise ship manifest for passengers disembarking from a cruise airline. The trigger may be based on an airline crossing a border and the designated government border control agency requiring security screening of baggage to cross the border. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 123 / 329 118 / 222 A passenger may be on a train and have their checked baggage subjected to security protocols upon entering a different country. An example system that utilizes different security protocols is described in U.S. Patent No. 10,366,293, entitled COMPUTER SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING SECURITY SCREENING, to Applicant Synapse Technology Corporation.

[00416] The trigger may be based on information from a cruise ship manifest for passengers disembarking from an airline and transferring to a cruise ship as their next mode of travel. The trigger may be based on information from a train manifest for passengers disembarking from an airline and transferring to a train as their next mode of travel. The trigger may be based on information from a bus manifest for passengers disembarking from an airline and transferring to a bus as their next mode of travel. The trigger may be based on information from a hotel or resort (i.e., accommodation entity) manifest for passengers disembarking from an airline and transferring to an accommodation entity as their next mode of travel.

[00417] The charge may be based on an MX manifest maintained by the 100 system for passengers registered by a baggage collection and delivery service for home delivery or delivery to another address.

[00418] File processing for an integrated security screening process of baggage items may depend on security screening images taken of a baggage item when the initial mode of travel utilizes an airline. The image(s) 210 and related data obtained through advanced scanning technologies such as CT (Computed Tomography) scanners (i.e., CT imaging machine 237) can provide more detailed 3D images. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 124 / 329 Detailed images of the contents of the suitcase (i.e., baggage item) 119 / 222. These images 210 and related data may be used for other subsequent travel vehicles, provided that the custody of the baggage item remains in compliance with security protocols, so that the baggage item can be transferred from one travel vehicle to the next vehicle, analyzing the shared images for prohibited items designated for the next travel vehicle. Furthermore, different countries use different regulations regarding the amount of currency or other items brought into a country. These are just a few examples, and describing each of the regulations between the United States and any other country is prohibitive.

[00419] Baggage remaining within an airport's infrastructure is considered to maintain its security status if it is handled by trusted airport custody procedures. For example, the baggage has not been routed to the conveyor belt and / or left unattended. However, baggage leaving a destination airport to be transferred to another travel vehicle, for example, may be transferred to a trusted custodial baggage handler to keep it secure, allowing it to be processed using an ISSS 1070, described in more detail below.

[00420] When a passenger arrives with checked baggage at a border airport, the baggage must be cleared by a customs agency, for example, upon entering the country. Each country may have a different set of customs guidelines. However, many countries require that checked baggage be checked for the presence of prohibited items or prohibited quantities of items, for example, according to customs guidelines for crossing the border.

[00421] A passenger arriving at a transit airport Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 125 / 329 Border crossings 120 / 222 can exit the airport via two different lanes. In one or more of these lanes, both may require screening by customs authorities.

[00422] depersonalized security screening image (SSI) file sharing data. Method 1000A may include, in block 1006, the assignment, by at least one processor, of a virtual machine (Figure 3A-3B) with a compatible SSI visualization application to open and read the depersonalized security screening image file sharing data.

[00423] Method 1000A may include, in block 1007, the assembly, by at least one processor, of a communication message with the assigned virtual machine. In one or more embodiments, the communication message may be message 302 with shared data from the depersonalized SSI file that includes a hyperlink to the virtual machine. The hyperlink may be embedded in a text string representing instructions.

[00424] Method 1000A may include, in block 1008, communicating, by at least one processor, the assembled message to a security screening computer station 1072A.

[00425] In one or more embodiments, the system and method may depersonalize security screening image (SSI) file-sharing data with a security or customs authority. The depersonalized SSI file-sharing data may include a pseudo-identifier (PID) and a flight number, where the PID is an identifier associated with or linked to the 210 security screening image, obtained in accordance with the security screening authority, before the checked baggage is loaded onto the airline from the airport of origin.

[00426] The message can be communicated via an Intranet or In Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 126 / 329 121 / 222 internet, using wired or wireless communication protocols. The message can be carried by a public utility communication system, satellite communication system, or cellular communication system. The ISSS 1070 can receive the message and perform security screening according to the regulations of the government agency for the border and the travel vehicle. In some cases, the ISSS 1070 system can be controlled by a private business entity, such as a hotel or resort chain. Blocks 1004, 1006-1008 and ISSS 1070 activities can be performed by the 190 system, described in relation to Figure 16, in one or more modes.

[00427] By way of non-limiting example, the assembled message communication may be received by a Security Screening (SS) 1072A computer station of ISSS 1070. The image and data in the assembled message may be an accompanying security image and data. The initial screening may include screening an accompanying security image and / or data from the assembled message. If the initial screening fails, the baggage may be inspected using a security screening device 1072B and using the security screening regulations associated with the location (i.e., country) of the security screening device 1072B. In other embodiments, the baggage may be inspected manually.

[00428] In order for the passenger and baggage to proceed, the baggage needs to be cleared.

[00429] This same image and data marked with the PID can accompany the baggage during its journey to other ISSSs 1070 or until the trusted custody is broken. However, for a subsequent vehicle journey, if the current security image and / or tracking data are not approved by ISSS 1070 in accordance with the rules or regulations for the next vehicle, the baggage will be reviewed by the 1072B security screening device of Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 127 / 329 122 / 222 ISSS 1070. However, security image and / or tracking data may be available until security custody is completed, such as baggage being delivered to a cabin on a cruise ship or to a room in a lodging unit; and / or delivered to a train or bus station and placed on board the next travel vehicle. If baggage is transferred to multiple aircraft to reach a final destination, security custody may be maintained and security image and / or data may track the journey until the passenger or other untrusted persons receive custody of the baggage.

[00430] In Figure 10A, computer station SS 1072A and security screening device 1072B are shown side by side. However, these two entities may be in different locations within an airport infrastructure. In such an arrangement, a trusted handler may receive baggage marked as unreleased or not approved and deliver it to another location where security screening device 1072B is installed.

[00431] In one or more modes, the marker may include the IATA identification number from the originating baggage tag and other BSM information, such as the passenger's name or personal identification information. The IATA identification number may be extrapolated from the PID, as described above.

[00432] Method 1000A may include the receipt, by a system processor, of one of the release or non-release indications from computer station SS 1072A or security screening device 1072B, in block 1024. Method 1000A may include the updating, by a processor, of handling devices and / or scanning devices with routing information associated with the IATA baggage tag, PID (optional) or marker to identify where the baggage should go next, in block 1026. In one or Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 128 / 329 In modes 123 / 222, the PID can be encoded in a barcode that can be scanned by a scanning device or acquisition device. In one or more modes, once the marker is printed, all shared image data can be deleted from memory, in block 1025. In this case, accessing the PID does not expose the shared image data.

[00433] The update performed in block 1026 may be performed by system 190, by a computer system associated with a baggage handling system in airport infrastructure, by another designated provider to update messages in airport infrastructure, by a computer associated with other travel operators for the dispatch of checked baggage items, or by another designated provider to update messages outside airport infrastructure. Baggage, if not checked, may not be able to enter the baggage handling system for transfer to another airline, be transported to the next leg of the journey, out of the airport, or out of the ISSS, for example. Scanner and baggage handling devices may look for the IATA identification number or bingo tag to obtain baggage handling instructions. Baggage handling instructions may be incorporated into Type-B messages.

[00434] In the scenario where the baggage of an entire airline is checked in, some passengers and cleared baggage will leave the airport where the airport code was designated as the final airport code. Additionally, baggage leaving the airport can be processed by the 100 system and status information can be stored in LIM record fields.

[00435] In another scenario, a passenger and their baggage may board another plane bound for a destination point. In one or more modes, the baggage that leaves the airport after screening by Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 129 / 329 124 / 222 ISSS 1070 can be transferred, via trusted custody, to a cruise ship, train, or bus, in accordance with classified Type-B termination messages.

[00436] Starting from block 1024, method 1000A can proceed to Figure 10B, block 1030.

[00437] Figure 10B illustrates a method 1000B for reporting baggage item status and handling for the integrated baggage item security screening process, after being processed through an ISSS, according to a modality.

[00438] Method 1000B may include a processor determining, in block 1030, whether a trusted custodian scans the baggage tag or bingo marker on the baggage, acquiring the originating IATA identification number, PID, or other unique identifier. If a processor determines, in block 1030, that “NO,” method 1000B may return to the beginning of block 1030 to await scanning. In one or more modes, the scan acquires data from the originating printed copy of the baggage tag or marker. The acquired (scanned) data is converted into a digital BTI or digital PID. If the scan is of image data, the image data is converted into machine-coded text.

[00439] If the determination, by a processor, in block 1030, is “YES”, method 1000B can cause, by a processor, a release status handling marker to be generated or displayed on the scanning device associated with the IATA identification number or PID, in block 1032. An example of a release handling marker (i.e., MK 136) is shown in Figure 15. The SSIA 190 system can receive an indication of approved / released or rejected / not released. The indication can trigger the SSIA 190 system to cause the handling devices and / or scanning devices to be programmed with approved / released or rejected / not released. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 130 / 329 125 / 222 and / or subsequent routing information. Routing information may be based on various information, including Type-B messages, PNR travel information accessed by PNR number, manifest information, or any combination thereof.

[00440] The handling clearance marker may include itinerary drop-off location data, PNR data, or booking data. Drop-off location data may include room or cabin data, or other instructions for the secure handling of baggage from the destination airport to the next travel vehicle. However, in other instances, MK 136 may include a unique identifier and a symbol or icon representing the approved / cleared or rejected / not cleared security indicator.

[00441] Other markers may be used. For example, if baggage is being delivered to a registered passenger's home, a home icon may be displayed with a check mark indicating release, followed by a residential or building address representing the delivery address.

[00442] Method 1000B may include a processor determining whether the baggage contents have passed through the ISSS in block 1034. If the determination in block 1034 is “YES”, method 1000B may include executing a baggage handling process to bypass the ISSS 1070 security screening device 1072B. In other words, the baggage does not require additional security screening for the travel mode. The accompanying security image and / or data analyzed by the SS 1072A computer station cleared the baggage for departure from ISSS 1070. When the baggage is cleared, it can be sorted based on additional routing information. For example, the cleared baggage may be arriving at an airline or airport without additional service. In this Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 131 / 329 126 / 222 For example, the additional programmed routing information may indicate the routing of baggage to a conveyor belt or other terminal station so that the baggage can be retrieved by its owners at a designated location.

[00443] In another example, released baggage may be closing a service for an airline or airport. In this example, the programmed additional routing information may indicate the routing of the baggage to a designated area in the airport or airline infrastructure, so that the baggage can be picked up by baggage handlers associated with the 100 system and delivered to another location, according to the service instructions. The service instruction may be delivery to a residential, commercial, or other designated address.

[00444] In another example, the released baggage may be being transferred from one airline to another, for example. In this case, the additional scheduled routing information may indicate this type of information. In this case, the baggage may travel independently of ISSS 1070 to the next airline marked as released.

[00445] In another example, released baggage may be being transferred from one travel vehicle to the next, the travel vehicles being different. For example, from an airline to a cruise ship, train, bus, or lodging establishment. In this case, the programmed additional routing information may indicate this type of information, including a drop-off location address. In the case of a cruise ship or lodging establishment, the additional routing information may include the room or cabin number.

[00446] If the determination in block 1034 is “NO”, the method Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 132 / 329 127 / 222 1000B may include, in block 1038, the execution of a baggage handling process to transfer the baggage item to the ISSS 1070 security screening device 1072B for further security screening and processing in accordance with the travel mode associated with ISSS 1070.

[00447] In block 1040, method 1000B may include a processor determining whether the baggage is listed, such as for a registered passenger associated with an MX manifest (Figure 1A) for an upcoming travel vehicle or associated with a manifest for delivery to a residential, business, or other designated address. If the determination in block 1040 is “NO,” method 1000B may terminate in block 1044. This may be the case when system 190 processes the entire aircraft. If the determination in block 1040 is “YES,” method 1000B may include updating the LIM 186 record with the current status and location of the baggage in block 1042.

[00448] Figure 11A illustrates a flowchart of a method 1100 for re-analysis of baggage security screening based on a security level, according to a modality. In one example, method 1100 may include, in block 1120, the provision, by a processor, of customized file sharing data, as described in relation to Figures 2C and 3A-3C.

[00449] In one or more embodiments, personnel at a workstation (i.e., the SS 1072A computer system) or AI algorithms can analyze data to determine whether baggage can pass through customs. For example, machine learning algorithms can be used to determine whether the baggage contents include Z numbers of cell phones, B amounts of money, or C amounts of a regulated commodity. Some countries allow only a certain number X of cell phones. If the contents include Z numbers of cell phones Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 133 / 329 If the quantity of 128 / 222 is greater than X, the baggage may not pass through Customs. If the baggage includes a quantity C of a regulated commodity and a regulation limits the commodity to P, which is greater than C, the baggage may be released by Customs, for example. As can be seen, describing each regulation here is prohibitive. The processor can access the security screening images and / or the list of contents stored in memory, for example, as a secure cloud storage system.

[00450] In one example, method 1100 might include determining whether the passenger passed through Customs, in block 1122. If the determination, in block 1122, is “NO”, method 1100 might return to the beginning of block 1122. If the determination, in block 1122, is “YES”, method 1100 might proceed to block 1123.

[00451] In one example, method 1100 might include performing a virtual aviation security screening, in block 1123. The aviation security screening might determine if the stored security screening image (SSI) is at or above the required standard for the current travel mode, in block 1124. If the determination in block 1124 is “NO”, method 1100 might proceed to block 1126. For example, baggage entering a first airport in the country from another country might need to be checked for an aviation security screening level at the originating airport or the airport that captured the current security screening images. In another example, baggage might require re-screening based on actionable intelligence reports.In one or more modes, a stored MID 225 (Figure 2A) or a manufacturer name in metadata associated with a PID or SSI filename can be used to determine whether the stored security screening image (SSI) is in the required standard for the current or higher travel mode, in block 1124. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 134 / 329 129 / 222

[00452] By way of a non-limiting example, airports around the world use different security screening machines. These machines may not conform to the security standards in force in a given country. In this case, the determination in block 1124 may be “NO”, and method 1100 may perform a new screening, in block 1126, of the baggage so that it can be transferred to a connecting flight at a border airport.

[00453] For example, a determination in block 1124 might be “NO” when there is no image. In this case, method 1100 might re-evaluate the baggage in block 1126 so that it can be transferred to a connecting flight at a border airport. For example, some small airports do not have sophisticated screening machines that meet current standards, requirements, or certifications. For example, a small airport might perform a manual search and allow the baggage to fly without an image. In other examples, the baggage might be tested using explosive trace detection devices (ETDs) but not evaluated using a TSA-certified explosive detection system. In other examples, the baggage might be too large to fit in the TSA-certified explosive detection system (i.e., security screening machine). In this case, a security screening image might not be available for each item of baggage.

[00454] In many cases, the TSA-certified explosive detection system (i.e., the security screening machine) used by a primary mode of transportation meets or exceeds the standards or requirements for secondary modes of transportation, which include lodging establishments, buses, trains, ferries, and cruise ships. However, security screening images of baggage items from an airline departing from a (primary) airport at any Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 135 / 329 130 / 222 place in the world and landing at another (second) airport in another place in the world (i.e., in another country) may not meet the security screening authority requirements of the second airport.

[00455] In block 1126, method 1100 may include performing a new security screening of baggage in accordance with the standards, requirements, or certifications required for checked baggage in civil aviation. This may occur when countries have different standards. This may occur, for example, when the security image from the original screening was captured by a security screening machine that meets lower standards or requirements than those currently required. Standards and requirements change regularly, followed by the subsequent installation of equipment. The method may be adapted to accommodate enhanced screening when a second mode of travel has enhanced security screening technology and algorithms compared to the security screening machinery and algorithms of the first mode of travel.Alternatively, the method can be adapted to accommodate enhanced screening by the second travel mode when the first travel mode possesses improved safety screening technology and algorithms compared to the machinery and safety screening algorithms of the second travel mode.

[00456] If the determination in block 1124 is “YES”, method 1100 may include retrieving the stored image from the baggage security inspection or a list of contents in block 1130. In block 1132, method 1100 may include sending the retrieved stored image from the security inspection to a security inspection workstation. In block 1138, method 1100 may include performing the baggage security inspection. The security inspection may use AI algorithms or a security operator (man-in-the-loop) to view images from previous images of the Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 136 / 329 131 / 222 security inspection, such as images taken in a previous country or airport.

[00457] In one or more modes, the screening authority may have intelligence on a specific type of threat, which may allow the contents of baggage items to be examined using the security screening machine via computed tomography or X-ray images for checked baggage in civil aviation.

[00458] Returning to block 1124, if the determination in block 1124 is “YES”, method 1100 may include obtaining personally identifiable passenger information associated with baggage submitted for security screening, in block 1134. Method 1100 may include communicating the personally identifiable passenger information obtained, in block 1136. In block 1138, method 1100 may include conducting a virtual security screening of the baggage to a threat security level using both the image and the personally identifiable information. As defined herein, virtual security screening means that the baggage has not returned to the security screening machine to capture the security screening image currently under analysis.Instead, a security screening image is a follow-up image that may accompany baggage, provided it remains in reliable custody and the image meets the security screening image requirements, standards, or certifications of a specific location.

[00459] In one or more modes, the SS file name is encoded with personally identifiable information. This can be used to protect the passenger's identity.

[00460] In one or more modes, the screening authority may have information about a specific type of threat originating from a country, a person, or a group of people. Personally identifiable information may be used to assess the security level of Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 137 / 329 132 / 222 passenger regarding the results of the security screening.

[00461] Blocks 1126 and 1138 may proceed to block 1140. If the determination in block 1140 is “NO”, the baggage may be re-screened in block 1126 using a security inspection machine operating in accordance with the requirements, standards or certification for security inspection of checked baggage in civil aviation. In block 1140, it is determined whether the baggage or the passenger has been cleared. If the determination in block 1140 is “YES”, method 1100 can determine whether the baggage item should be transferred to a second travel mode in block 1144. In other words, the reanalysis of method 1100 allows the baggage item to be moved from the first travel mode 1110A (Figure 11B) directly to the second travel mode 1110B (Figure 11B) by means of a trusted custody handler 1117.If the determination in block 1140 is “YES”, method 1100 may include approval by a processor for the direct delivery of the baggage item to the travel vehicle associated with the second travel mode.

[00462] If the determination in block 1144 is “NO”, the baggage may be released in block 1148. For example, a baggage handler or a trusted custodian agent may scan the IATA baggage tag or other marker or tag with an electronic acquisition device. The acquisition device may include a message representing instructions for releasing the baggage, such as taking it to a conveyor belt. Baggage may be released from a first mode of travel, such as when the airport is a terminal airport, or when an airline vehicle arrives at a destination or pier for passenger disembarkation.

[00463] Figure 11B is a diagrammatic view of a modality showing a trusted custodian agent 1117 between a first mode of transport 1110A and a second mode of transport (SMOT) Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 138 / 329 133 / 222 1110B, according to a modality. From the moment the baggage is checked in at the airport, it is under trusted custody, meaning that unauthorized individuals, including the baggage owner, do not have direct access to its contents. A trusted custody agent may have sufficient security mechanisms that meet or exceed the relevant security standards of the respective travel operators. Furthermore, in these trusted custody facilities, there is no opportunity for the passenger to exchange the contents of the baggage while it is under the trusted custody of the first mode of transport 1110A. Baggage checked in by airlines, road transport, rail, sea or other government agencies is released into the custody of the transport entities or safekeeping facilities.Upon receiving a baggage authorization record 1113, an airline (and / or its designated partners or authorized entities) may move the checked baggage directly to a trusted custodian agent 1117, instead of screening it at a second mode of travel (SMOT) terminal 1118, as the re-analysis (Figure 11A) has determined that the contents of the checked baggage meet the rules and regulations for the second mode of travel 1110B. Furthermore, once the checked baggage is transported to the second mode of travel 1110B, the baggage is not screened at the second mode of travel 1110B, but delivered directly for loading onto the travel vehicle. In the illustration, the second mode of travel 1110B is another aircraft. However, the second mode of travel 1110B could be a cruise ship. In the case of a cruise ship, the baggage may be delivered directly to the passenger's cabin on the ship.If the second means of transport 1110B is a transport vehicle, the passenger has a seat and the baggage is loaded elsewhere, the baggage may be taken directly to the designated loading location. If the second means of transport... Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 139 / 329 134 / 222 transport 1110B if it is a hotel, the luggage can be delivered directly to the passenger's room.

[00464] In Figure 11B, airline 1101 has a passenger cabin 1104 and a checked baggage hold 1102. Passengers, before, during, and after the flight, do not have access to the checked baggage hold 1102. The operator of airline 1101 has custody of the checked baggage in the baggage hold 1102. If the passenger were to travel on another airline 1107 that also had a checked baggage hold 1103 and a separate passenger seating area 1105, the trusted custody handlers 1117 could move the passenger's baggage between the baggage hold 1102 on airline 1101 and the checked baggage hold 1103 on airline 1107. However, in this case, the baggage was re-analyzed according to the rules and regulations of aircraft 1107. which baggage authorization record 1113 transmits approval 1114a or rejection 1114b of the baggage item.If approval 1114a is present in baggage authorization record 33, the baggage item may be moved directly from the baggage hold 1102 to the checked baggage storage area 1103 without further screening at SMOT terminal 1118. Alternatively, if baggage authorization record 1113 indicates a baggage rejection 1114b, it will be re-screened at SMOT terminal 1118 to ensure compliance with relevant security protocols.

[00465] The first travel mode 1110A may include an electronic device 1109. The electronic device 1109 may be part of a baggage handling system or a computer device of an employee working to unload (or load) baggage items. In one or more embodiments, the device he Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 140 / 329 Electronic tracking device 1109 may be associated with a security screening authority or other entity. The tracking device on the baggage item may be configured to communicate information stored in its memory, including at least one of the following: security information, IATA identification number, PNR number, personal identification information, or an image of the baggage item. For example, security information may be sent to an approved electronic device to receive security information and / or personal identification information upon landing at a transfer or arrival airport. The tracking device may receive BSM information from an arrival BSM at an arrival airport or from a transfer BSM at a transfer airport.The electronic device can be configured to transmit communication information associated with the transfer or arrival airport in order to receive security information and / or personal identification information. In some embodiments, the electronic device is configured to require the automatic transmission of communication information associated with the transfer or arrival airport in order to receive security information and / or personal identification information as an additional security compliance mechanism.

[00466] If the second mode of travel 1110B is a cruise ship, the SMOT 1118 terminal may be located on the pier, adjacent to, or part of the cruise ship. If the second mode of travel 1110B is a bus, the SMOT 1118 terminal may be located at or near a bus station. If the second mode of travel 1110B is a train, the SMOT 1118 terminal may be located at or near a train station. If the second mode of travel 1110B is a ferry, the SMOT 1118 terminal Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 141 / 329 136 / 222 may be located on the dock, adjacent to, or part of the ferry. In the case where the second mode of travel 1110B is an accommodation unit, the SMOT 1118 terminal may be located in an adjacent accommodation unit, a remote accommodation unit, or part of the accommodation unit. In the case where the second mode of travel 1110B is an airline, the SMOT 1118 terminal may be located in an airport terminal or hangar.

[00467] In one example, the first baggage screening requirement may require an explosive detection system (EDS) that is either a Transport Security Administration certified EDS or a European Union / European Civil Aviation Conference (EU / ECAC) standard 3.0 / 3.1 EDS, such as when the first mode of travel is civil aviation. When the first mode of travel vehicle associated with civil aviation lands at a transfer airport or a destination airport, the baggage may be subject to 1) customs screening and / or 2) a threat security level screening before the baggage can be transferred to another mode of travel via a second mode of travel or released from a destination airport. The second mode of travel vehicle may use a baggage screening requirement equal to or lower than that of the first mode of travel.In this case, the contents of the baggage can be searched for prohibited items in the vehicle during the second mode of travel, without the need to re-examine the baggage using an EDS.

[00468] Figure 12A illustrates a block diagram of a tracking device 41 according to one embodiment. The tracking device 41 may include a SIM card (subscriber identity module) 1241, GPS-GSM tracking components 1242 and an ANT antenna. The GPS-GSM tracking components 1242 Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 142 / 329 137 / 222 can be configured to perform cell tower positioning via GSM / Cellular positioning protocol 1256, Wi-Fi positioning via Wi-Fi positioning protocol 1252, GNSS positioning via GNSS positioning protocol 1258, and BLUETOOTH positioning via BLUETOOTH positioning protocol 1254. In one or more modes, the identity of the SIM card subscriber 1241 can be associated with a baggage handling service, baggage tracking service, an airline, or a travel vehicle. In one or more modes, the identity of the SIM card subscriber 1241 can be associated with a passenger. The GPS-GSM tracking components 1242 can include at least one processor. The tracking device 41 can include at least one processor 1244.

[00469] The tracking device may include an inertial navigation system (INS) for GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) environments. In GNSS environments, location information may be obtained from the INS. The tracking device may include a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit. The tracking device may include other location determination protocols or derivable locations based on the locations of nearby devices, such as IoT devices, BLUETOOTH-enabled devices, or RF access points, when available. BLUETOOTH-enabled IoT devices or RF access points can be found in hotels, cruise ships, airports, restaurants, shops, and buildings, for example.RF access points can support various RF communication platforms, including, but not limited to, WIFI communication protocols or GSM-5G communication protocols.

[00470] When underground, the tracking device can use Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 143 / 329 138 / 222 utilize an ad-hoc mobile communication protocol, given that airport staff devices may be able to act as an ad-hoc node to provide underground location information to wired or wireless communication networks on the surface. Location information may be sent to a network interface of a computing system associated with at least one processor of the system 100, a computer system designated to track tracking devices, a network device, a baggage handling system device, and a computer system associated with an airline or other transport vehicle. Location information may include location coordinate data of the tracking device and information loaded from the BSM.

[00471] In addition to providing location information, the tracking device can operate in other modes to interact with the vehicle or travel devices, including, without limitation, a kiosk, RFID receiver, baggage handling system, passenger mobile communication device, and more.

[00472] Tracking device 41 can be routed within buildings along an above-ground and / or underground path, which may result in a GNSS-denied environment. Consequently, tracking device 41 may provide location information in a GNSS-denied environment. However, for use outside of airport infrastructure, tracking device 41 may have GNSS access. Consequently, tracking device 41 may be able to provide location information derived from GNSS data.

[00473] Although GSM or cellular networks are readily available, these networks do not offer 100% global coverage. For example, in a building on the ground floor or in the basement, cellular communications may be blocked. Depending on the building's construction, Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 144 / 329 139 / 222 building or nearby buildings, communications within the building may be blocked or intermittent. Consequently, as baggage travels through buildings and underground, as well as in outdoor areas, a tracking device may need to obtain location information using various methodologies and adapt to the environment and situational communication parameters.

[00474] In one or more embodiments, the tracking device 41 may utilize available RF access points, which may include BLUETOOTH access points and / or WIFI access points, as will be described later. In one example, the tracking device 41 may include an RFID unit 1243 configured to communicate using RFID frequencies. By way of non-limiting example, a tracking device 41 with an RFID unit 1243 may be configured to communicate with RFID receivers of the baggage handling system. Some baggage handling systems have RFID receivers to read or receive an RFID signal from an IATA-compliant RFID baggage tag.

[00475] In one or more embodiments, the tracking device 41 may serve as an IATA-compliant RFID baggage tag within an airport infrastructure, but also provide tracking capabilities outside the airport infrastructure. The tracking device 41 may include at least one 1246 digital certificate. In one embodiment, a 1246 digital certificate may be an organizational-level digital certificate, where the organizational-level digital certificate enables the encryption and decryption of organizational-level information.

[00476] Tracking device 41 may include a digital certificate 1246 to allow a passenger's mobile device to be paired with tracking device 41. Tracking device 41 may include a digital certificate 1246 to communicate Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 145 / 329 140 / 222 with various communication platforms.

[00477] The tracking device 41 may include a display 1248 with a display screen, power source and memory 1250. The memory 1250 may store information.

[00478] In one or more embodiments, the power source may be a battery with one or more battery saving modes. A first battery saving mode may be based on the altitude detected by the tracking device. A second battery saving mode may be based on the speed detected by the tracking device. For example, when the tracking device is on an airplane during flight, it may be switched off or placed in standby mode or airplane mode. A third battery saving mode may be based on a communication mode selected by the tracking device. For example, a BLUETOOTH communication protocol may consume less power than other communication protocols. As a result, the tracking device may select a communication protocol to save battery power.

[00479] In one or more modes, the 1248 display can be configured to display stored information.

[00480] In one example, memory 1250 can store a PID 1268 associated with baggage. The PID can be sent from the baggage handling system to the SS 45 imaging machine, as described in Figure 2A. In another example, the PID can be a TSA-compliant number, which must be sent by baggage handling system 63 (Figure 1A) to the SS imaging machine to identify the baggage in security screening zone 37. PID 1268 can be PID 204, described in relation to Figure 2C. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 146 / 329 141 / 222

[00481] In one example, memory 1250 can store a baggage item image 1273. A baggage item image can be captured and loaded into memory 1250 when tracking device 41 is installed on the baggage item and registered with the baggage item.

[00482] In one example, memory 1250 may store a unique identifier for tracking device 1277 and application 1276. The unique identifier for tracking device 1277 uniquely identifies the tracking device. Applications 1276 may include programming instructions that, when executed, control the operation of tracking device 41 to communicate across multiple platforms, transmit information, store information, and display the stored information.

[00483] Figure 12B illustrates a block diagram of a security screening manager 1280 according to one embodiment. The security screening manager 1280 will be described in combination with Figure 2A and may form part of the programming instructions of applications 1276. Figure 2A illustrates an example of a baggage handling system device in security screening zone 37 communicating the PID to the screening device 41. In this example, memory 1250 may store the PID created by the baggage handling system, which is also provided to the SS 45 imaging machine (Figure 2A). As a non-limiting embodiment, the SS 45 imaging machine that creates the PID may communicate it to the screening device 41. The PID may be loaded by a register computing device that loads one of the following: PID 204, PID 204' or PID 204''.

[00484] The 1280 security screening manager may include a 1282 pairing unit and a 1284 authenticator. The 1282 pairing unit may use BLUETOOTH pairing, for Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 147 / 329 Example 142 / 222. Authenticator 1284 may require a specific digital certificate to enable Bluetooth pairing between a BHS device, an SS 45 imaging machine, or a record computing device and baggage tracking device 138. When the baggage tracking device is near the BHS 67 device entering the SS 45 imaging machine, the BHS 67 device and the tracking device 41 can pair. The BHS 67 device can be programmed to communicate to the tracking device 41 the primary ID, pseudo-ID, or other TSA-compliant number (i.e., PID 204) to identify the baggage entering the SS imaging machine.

[00485] In one example, the tracking device's unique identifier communicator 1286 can communicate the tracking device's unique identifier to BHS device 67 (Figure 2A) before receiving the primary ID, pseudo-ID, or other TSA-compliant number. In this case, the tracking device's unique identifier can serve as a trip request number, where the request must receive the primary ID, pseudo-ID, or other TSA-compliant number. The primary ID, pseudo-ID, or other TSA-compliant number can be received by the PID receiver 1288. The received PID is then stored in the tracking device's memory 41.

[00486] By way of non-limiting example, the unique identifier of the tracking device and the PID can be configured as depersonalized information that allows the baggage item to be identified by baggage item identifiers and not by passenger identification information.

[00487] Memory 1250 can store flight number 1278.

[00488] Figure 13 illustrates a flowchart of a method 1300 for assigning a tracking device 41 and initiating tracking of Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 148 / 329 143 / 222 a bag according to a modality. Method 1300 may include attaching a tracking device 41 to a bag, in block 1302. Method 1300 may include the assignment, by a processor, of tracking device 41 to a bag, in block 1304. The assignment may include the programming, by the processor, of tracking device 41 with a unique tracking device identifier 1277.

[00489] In one example, the tracking device may have a unique tracking device identifier that can be added to a manifest or to baggage information messages (i.e., Type-B messages) to locate a baggage item with tracking device 41. In one example, tracking device 41 may communicate its unique tracking device identifier 1277 in communication signals to other devices, including devices associated with the baggage handling system, acquisition devices, or similar.

[00490] By way of non-limiting example, a baggage information message may include one of the IATA identification number, flight number, or unique tracking device identifier 1277. A baggage item tracking device may respond to a request to locate the associated baggage item 138. For example, baggage handling system devices may receive a system query 100 about a lost baggage item using the IATA baggage tag number and / or the unique tracking device identifier 1277. If a baggage handling system device 67 detects a tracking device, the baggage handling system device 67 may communicate a return baggage information message identifying one or more of the machine IDs and / or location data, airport information, date, and time. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 149 / 329 144 / 222

[00491] In one example, the unique identifier of tracking device 1277 may be part of the registration and assignment process and may be added to the LIM 186 record.

[00492] Block 1305 may include a processor determining whether tracking device 41 is assigned to a remote location, in block 1306. For example, a tracking device may be assigned by a baggage handling service that collects baggage items from a passenger's or traveler's home, or other designated address, and transports them to an airport or other travel vehicle. If the determination in block 1306 is “NO”, the path from block 1306 may terminate in block 1307. If the determination in block 1306 is “YES”, method 1300 may include a processor obtaining BSM information from an airline, in block 1312. The BSM information may be from an originating airline's BSM. However, airline BSM information is available as long as the passenger has checked in with an airline using a personal computing device or mobile communication device.In one example, from a remote location, the tracking device can be programmed with itinerary information. Itinerary information might include a PNR number, a booking number, or another itinerary confirmation number for a vehicle's travel route. The flight number can be retrieved from the BSM or baggage information message.

[00493] In block 1305, method 1300 may include a processor determining whether tracking device 41 is assigned from a destination airport / location in block 1308. If the determination in block 1308 is “NO”, the method in block 1308 may terminate in block 1307. If the determination in block 1308 is “YES”, method 1300 may include a processor obtaining information from the BSM of Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 150 / 329 145 / 222 a destination BSM, in block 1314, for example. The BSM can be an airline destination BSM. The tracking device can also be programmed with the information described in relation to block 1312. In one embodiment, the tracking device can be provided as a service to the passenger as a reward for the frequent purchase of a cruise or stay at a specific hotel (i.e., travel vehicle).

[00494] Block 1305 may include the determination, by a system processor 100, of whether tracking device 41 is assigned from an originating airport, in block 1310. If the determination, in block 1310, is “NO”, the method in block 1310 may terminate in block 1311. If the determination, in block 1310, is “YES”, method 1300 may include obtaining, through a processor, BSM information from an originating airline BSM, in block 1316, for example. In one example, an airline may provide a passenger with a tracking device for a trip. The trip may be one-way or round-trip. The tracking device may be assigned at the counter by an airline agent. In another embodiment, the tracking device may be provided as a service to the passenger at a later time, as a reward for frequent flying.Alternatively, the tracking device can be provided as a service to passengers who always fly first class.

[00495] Method 1300 may include loading flight number 1278, by a system processor, into the tracking device, in block 1318. The flight number may be obtained from a Type-B or BSM message. In one example, method 1300 may include loading the PID, by a system processor, into tracking device 41, in block 1322. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 151 / 329 146 / 222

[00496] In one example, method 1300 may include the initiation of baggage tracking with tracking device 41 by a system processor 100 or other computer system designated for tracking, in block 1324. For example, an airline may have a computer system designated to track the baggage tracking device. The baggage handling service may have a computer system or server designated to track baggage through the assigned tracking devices.

[00497] In one example, method 1300 may include locating, by tracking device 41, an available wireless communication platform to establish a communication connection, in block 1326. Tracking device 41 may include a GPS-GSM communication device configured to receive signals from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Tracking device 41 may be configured to communicate with Wi-Fi wireless communication platforms, Bluetooth wireless communication platforms, LTE (Long Term Evolution) wireless communication platforms, cellular wireless communication platforms, GSM-5G wireless communication platforms, long-range communication platforms, short-range communication platforms, radio frequency identification communication platforms, and near-field communication platforms.In one or more modes, the tracking device can establish a wireless RF communication connection using ad-hoc protocols or connect to Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The tracking device can be configured to communicate using one of the wireless communication platforms to send location information to a network interface of a computing system.

[00498] In one example, method 1300 may include obtaining location information by tracking device 41, in Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 152 / 329 147 / 222 block 1328, and the transmission, by tracking device 41, of location information via the available wireless communication connection platform, in block 1330, to a system processor 100.

[00499] Figure 14 illustrates a conventional BSM 1400 for an airline. The BSM is a Type-B message. The Type-B message may include a plurality of data fields that include encoded characters. For example, the encoded characters may include one of the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) codes, Baudot and Baudot Padded, for example. The code and format of Baggage Information Messages or Type-B messages are described, for example, in IATA's “Recommended Practice 1745 - Baggage Information Messages”, in the Passenger Services Resolution Manual, June 2010, 30th edition, pp. 1110-1205.Type-B messages can be communicated over the Internet and via Extended Markup Language (XML) messages.

[00500] The Type-B message may include field or line 1402 which includes a header. For example, the header may be labeled BSM, which represents the title of the beginning of an airline's BSM. Field or line 1404 may include a line prefix .V / followed by a set of alphanumeric characters. As a non-limiting example, the line prefix .V / may denote version and supplementary data. For example, supplementary data may include a transfer station in an airline or airport infrastructure. The data field .V / may indicate whether the Type-B message, as a BSM, is a terminating BSM. The data field .V / includes after the / a digit indicating a version number from the data dictionary. The next character may be a baggage origin indicator, denoted by an L to denote Local, a T to denote Transfer, an X to denote Terminating, or an R to denote Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 153 / 329 148 / 222 Remote. The baggage origin indicator is followed by a three-digit airport code. In Figure 14, the BSM is a transfer BSM with version number 1 and airport code JFK.

[00501] When sorting in the BSM, the BSMs of all airlines are received and sorted. As a non-limiting example, the .V / field can be searched for the baggage origin indicator T. Furthermore, the 100 system can have multiple locations. Therefore, for a cruise ship departing from Tampa, the system would sort in a destination BSM with a T and TPA in the .V field in the baggage origin indicator and the corresponding airport code digits.

[00502] Other Type-B messages may have or be modified to have similar baggage origin indicators.

[00503] Field or line 1406 may include a line prefix .F / followed by a set of alphanumeric characters representing the outbound flight number, date, and airport code. The alphanumeric characters may be separated by the symbol / . For example, the data 22MAY may represent the arrival date. The airport code IST represents Istanbul Airport, which follows the date. In field or line 1406, the sequence of alphanumeric characters delimited by the symbols / before the date and after .F includes an airline code followed by an outbound flight number.

[00504] Field or line 1408 may include a line prefix .I / followed by a set of alphanumeric characters representing the arrival flight number, date, and airport code. The alphanumeric characters may be separated by the symbol / . For example, the date 12MAY may represent the departure date. The airport code SLC represents Salt Lake City Airport, which follows the date. In field or line 1408, the sequence of alphanumeric characters delimited by the symbols / before the date and after .I includes an airline code followed by an arrival flight number. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 154 / 329 149 / 222

[00505] By way of a non-limiting example, baggage with code LPN 2793461000, identified in line 1412, has an outbound flight number identified in field or line 1406. Based on the airport code IST, this flight originates in Turkey. This flight will connect to or land at the airport with airport code JFK, a border crossing airport, as identified in field or line 1402. The baggage may require screening by the customs authority of the country of border crossing, the United States.

[00506] In the example in Figure 14, baggage may require re-inspection by the TSA for transfer airlines to fly from JFK airport to Salt Lake City in the United States (i.e., the country of border crossing). However, once the baggage arrives in Salt Lake City, no further inspection by customs is required.

[00507] Field or line 1412 may include a line prefix .N / followed by a set of numbers, which represent the OP-BTI digital data record. Field or line 1410 may include a line prefix .P / followed by a set of characters, which represent the passenger's name. The first name may be separated from the last name by the symbol / .

[00508] Field or line 1418 may include a line prefix “.L / ” followed by a set of alphanumeric characters, representing the passenger name registration number or PNR number. Field or line 1420 may include an end-of-message indicator, such as “ENDBSM”.

[00509] Between lines 1402 and 1420, there may be other fields or lines, such as fields 1414 and 1416. Field or line 1414 has the prefix .S / and relates to reconciliation data. Field or line 1416 has the prefix .W / and relates to weight, pieces, dimensions, and baggage type data. Like Type-B messages Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 155 / 329 Airline codes 150 / 222 are known in the field; more detailed descriptions of Type-B messages will not be provided. Some fields / lines are mandatory and others are optional, depending on the Type-B message.

[00510] However, system 100 can access other Type-B messages from an airline-associated computer system to determine whether a bag is missing or has not been found, for example. System 100 can access other Type-B messages stored in an airline-associated computer system to determine the status of a bag before the passenger begins their stay at an accommodation unit, for example, or at other times to track the status of the bag in transit within the airport environment.

[00511] The example of the conventional BSM 1400 is provided for descriptive purposes and is not intended to be limiting in any way. Each airline may have variations in its BSM. Beyond the Airport

[00512] The airline's infrastructure may generate a Type-B message, which is a Type-B termination message or a Baggage Origin Message (BSM) termination message that may designate the airport and city of termination where the baggage item's travel and handling will end, as described in IATA BSM “Baggage Information Messages Recommended Practice 1745”, in the Passenger Service Resolution Manual, June 2010, 30th edition, pp. 1110-1205, incorporated herein by reference in full, or other IATA-compliant message designating an airport and city of termination from which the handling and travel of a baggage item will end. IATA Type-B messages may include the identification number digits. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 156 / 329 151 / 222 IATA and other information that links the baggage item to the passenger.

[00513] Figure 15 is a diagrammatic view of a 1500 process for generating baggage authorization cues to bypass additional baggage screening or screening completion indication, according to a modality. The process shown in Figure 15 can create MK 136, for example.

[00514] In Figure 15, a 1500 process can begin with the reading of marker 212 or a printed baggage tag from the origin. Marker 212 is shown in the figure to avoid overcrowding. Marker 212 may include the passenger's name 214, the origin airport flight identifier 216, the destination airport flight identifier 1506, a 10-digit identification number 218, and the adjacent barcode identification number (i.e., barcode 220) and / or the BSM registration indicator.

[00515] Barcode reader 116 reads barcode 220. Reader 116 is communicatively coupled to server 148 to receive security screening results, as described in Figures 10A-10B, and simulated BSM information. MK 136, in one or more modes, may be similar to marker 212. However, in this case, MK 136 is updated with the same BSM data or with similar data from 212, and the online navigation mode of the travel or accommodation entity is represented by the maritime mode indicator 1516, and the indication that it passed the screening under the security rubric of the cruise company and the government is presented by the maritime approval indicator 1514.Additional details 1518 about the destination on a cruise ship for baggage item 138 are listed from a cruise ship manifest (accommodation entity), which contains the cruise company, the cruise ship, the departure date, the cabin number, the deck number, and so on. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 157 / 329 152 / 222 is the reservation number. The MK 136 print file is sent to printing device 120, for example, for printing. MK 136 is affixed to baggage 138.

[00516] From the airport to the baggage, item 138 is under trusted custody and accessible only by trusted custody agents. In other words, the passenger or owner of baggage 138 does not have access to baggage 138 and therefore there is no opportunity to insert contraband or prohibited items, since the initial inspection is carried out by the TSA.

[00517] If the original printed baggage tag and marker 212 are missing, for example, the baggage would need to be processed independently. However, system 100 would associate the passenger with their baggage and simulate the BSM, created, for example, from image data captured by the mobile communication device. The simulated BSM and / or security data can be printed by process 1500. MK 136 may include information from the cruise ship manifest (accommodation entity), which contains the cruise company, the cruise ship, the departure date, the cabin number, the deck number, and the reservation number. SECURITY TRIAGE INTEGRATION ASSISTANT SYSTEM

[00518] Figure 16 illustrates a Security Screening Integration Assistant (SSIA) 190 system according to one embodiment. The SSIA 190 system is shown in the box with black lines below line L1. The Security Screening Integration Assistant (SSIA) 190 system can perform security screening independently of customs screening and aviation screening when transferring to another airline. Alternatively, the SSIA 190 system can perform security screening for the transfer of baggage items. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 158 / 329 153 / 222 baggage through trusted custody to a different vehicle / mode of travel that has different rules and regulations than aviation. The description in Figures 2A-2C and Figures 3A-3C also applies to security screening for the transfer of baggage items through trusted custody to a different vehicle / mode of travel that has different rules and regulations than aviation. For example, in one or more modalities, the anonymization of certain data may be used in some cases to protect the passenger's identity.

[00519] The description and actions described in Figures 16 and 17A-17C can be carried out in parallel with the actions that must be carried out by the customs authority, for example. Security screening for a second mode of travel using the trusted custody treatment described in Figures 11A-11B can be carried out independently, including before, during or after screening by the customs authority.

[00520] In addition, personnel using workstations that interact with 330 virtual machines can use graphical user interfaces that display images of objects on a screen. Furthermore, training data images can be displayed in the graphical user interface to allow personnel to make necessary judgments about the contents within the baggage space volume.

[00521] The SSIA 190 system can be communicatively coupled to a first travel mode system (FMTS) 10 and a first security screening machine system (FSSMS) 40, both shown above line L1. By way of non-limiting example, the FMTS 10 may include one or more computing systems 30, 35 or server systems with memory devices that are directly or indirectly associated with the FMTS 10. It should be understood from the invention that Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 159 / 329 154 / 222 each airline has many server systems and / or computing systems. FMTS 10 may include a plurality of airlines 20 and 22, for example, for a given airline.

[00522] The term SVTS is used to denote a second travel system vehicle (SVTS), which may be a cruise ship, a bus, a train, or an accommodation unit. In one or more modes, a cruise ship is an accommodation unit. In one or more modes, a train may be an accommodation unit. The SVTS may be the next travel system vehicle. The FMTS 10 is a first travel system vehicle (FVTS) and is a transport airline originating from anywhere in the world.

[00523] To avoid overcrowding in the figure, FMTS 10 may include a plurality of travel operators for a plurality of airlines. Each airline may have its own computer systems 30 and 35. The term airline may be used interchangeably with the airline and the travel vehicle.

[00524] Computer systems 30 can be a travel information system that stores passenger itinerary data, flight information, and passenger check-ins, for example. Computer systems 35 can store Type-B messages generated by baggage handling systems that route checked baggage through airport infrastructure. Computer systems 30 or 35 can enable baggage check-in. In one or more modes, an airline, such as an airline, may require the passenger to check in and then print or generate their boarding pass. After the passenger checks in, the baggage can be checked in. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 160 / 329 155 / 222

[00525] Passenger baggage is dispatched by an airline, which is part of FMTS 10. The dispatched baggage is tagged with an original printed baggage tag. After tagging, the baggage is sent by an automated transport system from a baggage handling system to FSSMS 40.

[00526] The FSSMS 40 is shown separately from the FMTS 10, but both may be housed within or part of an airport infrastructure. The FSSMS 40 may include one or more security imaging machines 45 and 50. The FSSMS 40 may include one or more computing systems 55 or server systems with memory devices 113 for storing security images from the imaging machines 45. The FSSMS 40 may include one or more computing systems 65 or server systems with memory devices 113 for storing security images from the imaging machines 50.

[00527] The government agency responsible for airline security inspections can be identified as the TSA. Several suppliers manufacture computed tomography scanners (i.e., the imaging device 237 in Figure 2A) used by the TSA for baggage inspection. Some of the most important suppliers include, for example:

[00528] SMITHS DETECTION: SMITHS DETECTION is a leading provider of advanced security solutions, including computed tomography scanners. Its HI-SCAN XCT series scanners, such as the HI-SCAN 6040 XCT and the HI-SCAN 7555 XCT, are designed for screening checked and carry-on baggage at airports.

[00529] L3HARRIS Technologies: L3HARRIS Technologies is another major supplier of security equipment, including computed tomography scanners for baggage screening. The CLEARSCAN family of computed tomography scanners is used by the TSA in Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 161 / 329 156 / 222 various airports in the United States.

[00530] ANALOGIC Corporation: ANALOGIC Corporation develops advanced imaging technologies, including computed tomography scanners for airport security. Its CONNECT brand series of scanners, such as the CONNECT 70 and CONNECT 100, is designed to enhance security screening at airports.

[00531] LEIDOS (formerly Lockheed Martin): LEIDOS is a global technology company that provides security solutions, including computed tomography scanners for baggage screening. The company developed the VACIS M6500 system, a high-performance computed tomography scanner for baggage screening at airports.

[00532] CT images generated during baggage inspection are typically saved in a multi-image format. This format allows for the exchange, storage, and transmission of images between different systems and devices. CT scanners capture a series of 2D cross-sectional images, which can then be reconstructed into a 3D representation of the scanned object. 3D visualization and analysis of CT images often involves specialized software designed to process and render the multi-image files. These software solutions can reconstruct the 2D slices into 3D models, allowing security personnel to examine the scanned baggage in greater detail.

[00533] The DICOS (Digital Imaging and Communications for Security) standard is an image format standard developed by NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) in collaboration with the DHS. Its goal is to improve the interoperability and effectiveness of security screening systems, such as those used in airports and other critical infrastructure facilities. DICOS was developed to meet the specific needs of security imaging, Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 162 / 329 157 / 222 including the storage, transmission, and processing of security images. It addresses the limitations of the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) standard, which focuses primarily on medical imaging. The DICOS standard offers:

[00534] Interoperability: DICOS enables seamless communication between different security imaging systems and components from various manufacturers, allowing for more efficient and effective security screening processes.

[00535] Extensibility: The DICOS standard was designed to be easily extended and adapted to incorporate modern technologies and methods as they emerge in the field of security imaging.

[00536] Flexibility: DICOS supports a wide range of security imaging modalities, including X-ray, CT scan, MRI and others, making it suitable for various security applications.

[00537] The size of TSA files can vary significantly depending on several factors, such as scanner resolution, the number of slices captured, the level of compression applied, and the size of the baggage being scanned. In general, CT scans produce many high-resolution images, which can result in considerable file sizes. A single multi-image file for a CT scan can range from a few hundred kilobytes to several megabytes. When considering an entire baggage scan, which may include multiple files, the total size can easily reach several tens or even hundreds of megabytes.

[00538] The initial screening process by FSSMS 40 can be performed by large X-ray machines (i.e., security screening imaging machines 45 and 50). These security screening imaging machines 45 and 50 are designed to detect a variety of Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 163 / 329 158 / 222 materials, including explosives and other contraband. Baggage is screened using dual-energy X-ray systems that allow security personnel to differentiate between organic and inorganic materials based on their atomic number. This helps identify potentially hazardous substances. If the X-ray examination shows something suspicious, the bag is diverted for further inspection. This usually involves a physical inspection by a trained security officer and may also involve the use of more advanced scanning technologies such as CT (Computed Tomography) scanners, which can provide more detailed 3D images of the bag's contents. In some cases, explosive trace detection (ETD) machines may also be used. These machines can detect traces of explosives on the outside of the bag or on the items inside. They work by swabbing the bag or item and then analyzing the swab for any explosive residue.

[00539] Baggage containing detected explosives or certain dangerous items is prevented from being loaded onto the airline. Security screening imaging machines 45 and / or 50 can detect materials or chemicals that individually are not dangerous, but which, when combined, can be dangerous. In a second mode of transport, these materials or chemicals may be combined deliberately or accidentally. In one or more modes, the SSIA 190 system may request FSSMS 40 to provide a list of all chemicals detected and the quantities associated with an object within a piece of baggage.

[00540] The items permitted in checked baggage stored in an airline's hold may differ from those permitted in baggage on board a cruise ship (e.g., Second Mode of Transport System (SMTS) 1680A). This may occur, in Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 164 / 329 159 / 222 part, because weapons are not accessible in checked baggage during a passenger's flight while the baggage is in the cargo hold. On cruise ships, however, baggage is delivered to the passenger's cabin, where the passenger has direct access to the weapon during the cruise, which may pose a threat to other passengers.

[00541] By way of non-limiting example, security screening imaging machine 45 and / or 50 may receive a primary ID sent from the baggage handling system to security screening imaging machine 45 and 50, for example. In one example, the primary ID may be a TSA-compliant number, which must be sent by the baggage handling system to security screening imaging machine 45 and 50 to identify the baggage. The primary ID may be a pseudo-ID. The primary ID may be stored and linked to the security screening image in memory devices 113.

[00542] In one or more embodiments, an image pattern associated with the security screening image generation machine 45 and 50 can be stored and linked to the security screening image of the baggage item in memory devices 113.

[00543] In one or more modes, an algorithm can be run on the security image to generate a list of contents within the baggage. The list of contents associated with the security screening image obtained by the screening image generation machine 45 and 50 can be stored and linked to the security screening image in memory devices 113. The list of contents may include machine-readable encoded text that can be searched for prohibited items for a second mode of transport. In this case, the list of contents can be searched instead of visual inspection of the security screening image. This can save computer processing time to limit the quantity Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 165 / 329 160 / 222 of data that need to be sent between computing devices. The use of a contents list can save the processing of baggage items in a second mode of transport that were under the custody of a trusted custodian agent, when all the contents are already known in advance. In one or more modes, one or more contents may be identified as combinable to create an explosive or other risk.

[00544] Depending on the next vehicle to be transported, baggage may be inspected by ISSS 1670A, 1670B, 1670C, and 1670D, for example. Each ISSA 1670A, 1670B, 1670C, and 1670D may include a computer station SS 1072A and a security inspection device 1072B, as described in relation to ISSS 1070 in Figure 10A. The SSIA 190 system may be configured to interact with ISSS 1670A, 1670B, 1670C, and 1670D, as described in more detail in relation to methods 1000A and 1000B in Figures 10A and 10B.

[00545] What a traveler is allowed to carry in checked baggage on a flight may differ from what is permitted on a cruise ship. For example, some weapons may be approved for check-in and travel in baggage placed in the cargo hold of an airplane. However, once on a cruise ship, the owner of the baggage would have access to the weapon during the cruise, which poses a risk. The specific list of prohibited items may vary between cruise lines, but some common items that are permitted on airplanes but prohibited on cruise lines may include, for example:

[00546] Alcohol: Many cruise lines have strict policies regarding the transport of alcoholic beverages on board. While it is possible to carry a limited amount of alcohol in checked baggage on an airplane, cruise lines often restrict or limit it. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 166 / 329 161 / 222 is the amount you can take on board.

[00547] Power strips: Power strips, surge protectors and extension cords are normally allowed in carry-on or checked baggage on airplanes, but many cruise lines prohibit them due to potential fire hazards.

[00548] Irons: Irons are generally allowed in checked baggage on airplanes, but are often prohibited on cruise ships. Cruise ships usually offer laundry services or self-service laundries with irons.

[00549] Inflatable pool toys: while these items are allowed on airplanes, they may not be allowed on cruise ships due to limited pool space and safety concerns.

[00550] Drones: Some airlines allow drones as carry-on or checked baggage, but most cruise lines prohibit them for safety and privacy reasons.

[00551] Hoverboards and similar devices: These items are normally permitted on airplanes, provided they meet specific battery requirements. Meanwhile, many cruise lines prohibit them due to fire hazards and safety concerns.

[00552] Sports equipment: Some cruise lines may restrict or prohibit specific sports equipment, such as baseball bats or golf clubs, that are allowed in checked baggage on airplanes.

[00553] Weapons: Some cruise lines may restrict firearms, knives, large scissors, and pepper shakers. Small shears may be permitted.

[00554] Similarly, certain items allowed on airplanes may be prohibited or restricted on trains (railways), such as: Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, p. 167 / 329 162 / 222

[00555] Large baggage: while airlines typically allow checked baggage with size and weight limits, trains usually have stricter size restrictions or limited storage space for large bags.

[00556] Bicycles: Many airlines allow bicycles as checked baggage, but not all trains allow bicycles, or may require a reservation and additional fees.

[00557] Sports equipment: some trains may restrict or prohibit specific sports equipment, such as surfboards, skis or golf clubs, which are allowed in checked baggage on airplanes.

[00558] Camping equipment: Camping equipment such as portable stoves, fuel canisters and tents with stakes may be allowed in checked baggage on airplanes, but may be restricted or prohibited on trains.

[00559] Musical instruments: Although airlines generally allow musical instruments as carry-on or checked baggage, some trains may have size or weight restrictions for these items.

[00560] Hazardous materials: Items such as flammable liquids, compressed gases, or corrosive substances may be permitted in limited quantities on airplanes, but trains may have stricter regulations.

[00561] Buses may prohibit one or more of the objects and substances described above or others.

[00562] Hotels and resorts may prohibit one or more of the items and substances described above or others.

[00563] The examples described here are for illustrative and descriptive purposes only and should not be considered limiting in any way. As can be seen Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 168 / 329 163 / 222 end of the description presented here, it is prohibitive to describe all the rules and regulations for all means of transport or travel around the world.

[00564] Rules and regulations may vary depending on whether they pass through different government agencies and in different countries. Rules and regulations may limit or prohibit quantities of currency, agricultural products, food, and other items on prohibited lists for any mode of transport.

[00565] The baggage screening process on cruise ships (i.e., SMTS 1680A) is similar to that at airports, although with some differences due to the unique nature of sea travel. SMTS 1680A may include one or more servers or the 1675A computer system. When passengers arrive at the cruise terminal, their baggage is checked in and tagged. These passengers arrive driving and carrying their own baggage(s).

[00566] The baggage can then pass through an Integrated Security Screening Station (ISSS) 1670A (i.e., ISSS 1070 Figure 10A). As described in Figure 10A, the security screening device 1072B may be the same as one or both of imaging machines 45 and 50, for example.

[00567] The process described here applies to baggage that has been previously inspected for security purposes and has image files and accompanying security data available for sharing in the first phase of the security inspection analysis. Other baggage without image files and accompanying security data may be processed by the 1072B security inspection device to determine if the baggage passes the security inspection process.

[00568] In the integrated security screening process, the SSIA 190 system can be configured to assist ISSS 1670A, obtaining the Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 169 / 329164 / 222 image and accompanying security data and interacting with a trusted custodian agent who assumes custody of the airline's baggage for the SMTS, preserving the security chain of custody by a trusted custodian agent. In this way, the image and accompanying security data obtained by the SSIA 190 system can be gathered and sent to ISSS 1670A so that the SS 1072A computer station can be used to perform a first-phase security screening analysis for the second or next travel vehicle for prohibited items associated with regulations or rules of the government agency or security entity associated with cruise ships. If the baggage screening performed by the first-phase security screening analysis for the second travel vehicle releases the baggage, the SSIA system can receive information associated with the approval or rejection of the baggage screening.The SSIA 190 system can update handling devices and / or scanning devices to sort and handle baggage, as described in relation to Figure 10B. In a cruise ship environment, baggage that does not pass security screening can be transferred to security screening device 1072B for second-phase security analysis by the second travel vehicle. Once the baggage is cleared by second-phase security screening, the SSIA 190 system can update the routing information for baggage delivery to the room or cabin, independently or in parallel with the passenger.

[00569] The trigger to obtain the image and accompanying security data may originate from an airline flight manifest, a Type-B message such as a termination BSM, reading an IATA identification number, or accessing PNR 112 travel data. However, the process described here aims to transfer files without the need to send the passenger's PII. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 170 / 329 165 / 222 as described in relation to Figure 2C. Optionally, the passenger's name may be submitted, as it is visible on the original printed baggage tag, bingo tag, or other markers that may be placed on baggage by an airline.

[00570] If analysis of the security image and subsequent data does not allow the baggage to be released by ISSS 1670A, the ISSS 1670A's security screening device 1072B may check the baggage for prohibited items, which may range from weapons and explosives to items not permitted on board the ship, such as alcohol or irons, to name but not limited to. If a bag triggers an alarm during the X-ray scan, it will be separated for further inspection. This usually involves a manual search by security personnel. In addition to the initial baggage screening, passengers and their carry-on items are also examined before boarding the ship. This is usually done using metal detectors and X-ray machines, such as those used at airport security checkpoints.

[00571] Security screening procedures in rail systems (i.e., SMTS 1680B) vary widely depending on the country and specific rail service. SMTS 1680D may include one or more servers or the 1675C computer system. SMTS 1680B may include an ISSS 1670B (i.e., ISSS 1070 Figure 10A) which employs some form of security screening for both passengers boarding trains and their baggage. In some cases, ISSS 1670B may involve random checks where security personnel select bags for screening using handheld metal detectors or portable X-ray devices. In other cases, all bags may be screened by ISSS 1670B using stationary X-ray machines such as those used in airports and terminals. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 171 / 329 166 / 222 cruise ships. In high-security situations or for international rail services, more comprehensive screening procedures may be employed. The ISSS 1670B may use explosive detection systems, sniffer dogs, or even computed tomography scanners. In addition, passengers may also be searched with metal detectors or body scanners.

[00572] Security screening procedures in a bus transportation system (i.e., SMTS 1680C) vary widely and are governed by the TSA in the United States. SMTS 1680C may include an ISSS 1670C that employs some form of security screening for both passengers boarding the bus and their luggage. SMTS 1680C may include one or more servers or the 1675C computer system.

[00573] Security screening procedures at a lodging facility (i.e., SMTS 1680D) vary widely and may be defined by self-governance and / or government regulations. In one or more embodiments, lodging facilities may provide a self-screening security process that may include, for example, a third-party screening unit, local law enforcement authorities, and contracted security personnel. SMTS 1680D may include an ISSS 1670D that employs some form of security screening for both passengers entering a lodging facility and their baggage. In some cases, a passenger and their baggage enter a hotel connected to an airport controlled by the TSA or another government agency. In some cases, such as at the STAR WARS Hotel at DISNEY in Orlando, Florida, hotel guests have direct access to the theme park from the hotel. SMTS 1680D may include one or more servers or the 1675D computer system.

[00574] The SSIA 190 system may include one or more 1660 display devices or computing devices. For example, in one or Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 172 / 329 In more embodiments, a human in the circuit can assist in obtaining files and sending those files to the respective ISSS. The display devices 1660 can be a standalone display device or a display device integrated into a computing device 2200, as described in relation to Figure 22. In another embodiment, computing devices with display devices 1660 can automate the process of obtaining and sending the image files and accompanying security data to a designated workstation (i.e., computer station SS 1072A). By way of non-limiting example, the image files and accompanying security data can be sent to an artificial intelligence (AI) engine to process the image files and data for regulations associated with cruise ships, trains, hotels, buses, resorts, or any combination.The AI ​​mechanism (i.e., SS 1072A computer station) would automatically generate a signal representative of the results.

[00575] The SSIA 190 system may include one or more servers or computer systems 1650 and memory devices 1655 that may be communicatively coupled wired or wirelessly to display devices 1660. The one or more servers or computer systems 1650 are described in more detail in relation to Figure 22.

[00576] The SSIA 190 system may include an enterprise messaging system (EMS) 1657 for sending short message service (SMS) messages about the status and location of baggage items to the computing devices of the designated baggage handler.

[00577] The SSIA 190 system can receive information from a computing device 1602 associated with a trigger associated with a registered passenger who has a baggage handling service. As Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 173 / 329 168 / 222 Registration information may include flight information such as airline, flight details, country, airport of origin, itinerary confirmation number or passenger name registration number (PNR), and passenger name, for example. Other registration information that may be entered by the passenger may include information relating to the second mode of travel. The second mode of travel may be for a cruise ship booking, a train booking, a bus booking, or a lodging booking. The information may be collected before the day of travel with the first mode of transport.

[00578] Registration information can be used by the SSIA 190 system to generate routing information from a manifest. In one or more modes, the manifest can be for a single second travel vehicle or for a second travel vehicle from multiple travel operators. In one mode, analysis cannot be initiated until FSSMS 40 has completed the security screening image generation process or airline 20 or 22 has taken off with baggage and passenger. In other modes, analysis is triggered by the Type-B termination message described in Figure 1A.

[00579] In one or more modes, the SSIA 190 system can track baggage items of passengers arriving at a hotel or resort using an airline flight with or without baggage handling by the 100 system. The SSIA 190 system can alert SMTS 1680D about any prohibited objects or materials or combinations of materials that, if combined, could be dangerous.

[00580] In one or more modes, the SSIA 190 system can be part of the SMTS 1680A and perform analyses for cruise ships from only one or more cruise ship companies. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 174 / 329 169 / 222

[00581] In one or more modes, the SSIA 190 system can be part of the SMTS 1680B and perform analyses for trains of one or more rail systems only.

[00582] In one or more modes, the SSIA 190 system can be part of the SMTS 1680C and perform analyses for buses from only one or more bus travel operating companies.

[00583] In one or more modes, the SSIA 190 system can be part of the SMTS 1680D and perform analyses for a lodging / resort entity of only one or more companies.

[00584] In one or more modes, the SSIA 190 system may be part of FMTS 10.

[00585] In one or more modes, the SSIA 190 system may be a third-party provider.

[00586] The examples described here are for illustrative and descriptive purposes only and should not be considered limiting in any way. As can be seen from the description presented here, it is prohibitive to describe all the rules and regulations for all means of transport or travel around the world.

[00587] Figure 17A illustrates a GUI 1700A for retrieving at least one security screening image according to a mode. The GUI 1700A may include a display window 1702 and data entry tabs or buttons 1710 for navigation and control. The GUI 1700A may include a country tab or button 1712 and a travel / screening mode tab or button 1714. For example, the GUI 1700A may receive the country of origin from the second travel mode. Selecting the country tab or button 1712 may cause a drop-down menu or a list of countries to be displayed automatically. Selecting a country with a mouse or other user interface inserts the country into the system. The travel / screening mode tab or button 1714 may list any Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 175 / 329 170 / 222 one of the second modes of travel, including accommodation or resorts, or second modes of transport identified herein.

[00588] The GUI 1700A can receive the second mode of transport type so that training data for regulations can be retrieved for the designated jurisdiction (i.e., country). If there are states, counties, cities, provinces, etc., this information can be added. This allows the system to access regulations from all regulatory agencies. As described above, training data for a list of prohibited items for the second mode of transport is retrieved according to the country and government agency.

[00589] Because CBP and / or the Coast Guard, for example, allow cruise ships to have additional rules, GUI 1700A can be named after a cruise company via the company tab or button 1716. This allows one or more servers or computer systems 1650 to retrieve training data associated with the company's rules for analyzing baggage item screening. GUI 1700A can receive information related to the airport of origin via the airport of origin tab or button 1718. Selecting tab or button 1718 can provide a drop-down list of airports that can be selected or automatically populated from communication 302, for example. GUI 1700A can include an image selector tab or button 1720. A drop-down list of available images, identified by an SSI or PID filename, can be listed, as shown in Figures 9A-9B. Any image can be selected.In one or more modes, the 1722 button can be used as an SSI file tab or the 1722 button. When the non-customized baggage manifest is loaded into the GUI, selecting the SSI file name tab or the 1722 button can provide a list of required SSI file names in the manifest. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 176 / 329 171 / 222 the analysis of the baggage item image data for a different travel mode or different country, for example. The user can select, using a mouse or other user interface, an SSI file name. The GUI can display a selected unique identifier (i.e., PID, identification number, PNR number, tracking device identifier, etc.), which is entered in field 1724 or retrieved, for example, from the depersonalized baggage manifest or another file.

[00590] In one or more modes, button 1722 can be used as a tab or button for the passenger name. When data from a non-depersonalized manifest is loaded into the GUI, a list of passenger names can be displayed so that a passenger's name can be selected to retrieve the passenger's SSI using the passenger name. As described in relation to Figures 23B and 24, an electronic passenger identification signature can be formed by generating a list of contents from an existing SSI.

[00591] Although button 1722 is described as multifunctional, the GUI may have other buttons or tabs for selection.

[00592] Regarding lost baggage items, the graphical user interface (GUI) may have data fields for a user to enter the passenger's name or to scan the passenger's identification document. By way of non-limiting example, an identification document may be a state-sponsored electronic wallet or other electronic wallet stored on a smartphone. The identification document may include a driver's license, passport, or other government-issued identification document. A scanner or electronic acquisition device may read a barcode or perform optical character recognition to capture data from the identification document, which is then entered into the Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 177 / 329 172 / 222 GUI to check, confirm or validate a match.

[00593] In some modalities, training data can be developed by viewing previous SSIs and developing a content list for each previous SSI. The collection of content lists from previous SSIs can be used to develop training data and thus autonomously develop a current content list.

[00594] Figure 17B illustrates GUI 1700B from Figure 17A displaying at least one security screening image according to a modality. According to one or more modalities, the possible prohibited object includes weapons, bottles of alcohol, irons, and power strips, among others. Figure 17B is essentially the same as Figure 17A, therefore only the differences will be described. In Figure 17B, an example of a PID and SSI filename of an image is displayed in fields 1724 and 1720, respectively.

[00595] Figure 17B shows a selected image 1705 from the FSSMS 40 memory devices. Image 1705 shows baggage item 5 with a printed baggage tag (i.e., baggage tag 200). Image 1705 shows a radiographic representation of objects 1730, 1735, and 1740, for example. In the example, object 1730 is annotated with box 1732 to indicate that it is a prohibited object, such as alcohol. Object 1735 is annotated with box 1737 to indicate that it is a prohibited or dangerous object, such as a weapon. Object 1740 is annotated with box 1750 to indicate that it is a prohibited object, such as an iron. Boxes 1732, 1737, and 1750, for example, can be annotated by image processing / machine learning autonomously or by sorting.

[00596] Regarding prohibited substances, information can be obtained using mass / density calculations through machine learning. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 178 / 329 173 / 222

[00597] According to one or more methods, the first displacement mode or the first screening mode can provide a list of hazardous materials identified in its screening. Therefore, when security screening images are retrieved, a file of detected hazardous materials or a list of materials can be obtained. For example, some weapons are manufactured by three-dimensional printing. However, bullets containing gunpowder may be present. Consequently, a list of bullets, gunpowder, or a combination thereof can be identified.

[00598] According to one or more modalities, the first displacement mode or the first screening mode can provide a list of materials or chemicals that, individually, are not hazardous. However, when one or more non-hazardous materials or chemicals are combined, the resulting solution can become hazardous or explosive, for example.

[00599] In one or more embodiments, GUI 1700B may include a control button 1760 to initiate a search for prohibited objects and materials using a machine learning detection algorithm, including machine learning object detection. In one or more embodiments, the crawler itself performs the search by observing the images on the screen and comparing them with prohibited images, for example, as will be described in detail in Figure 17C.

[00600] Depending on one or more modes, GUI 1700B may include an analysis result indicator 1765. In one or more modes, indicator 1765 may allow a user to enter a mark in the analysis result manifest representing one of the following conditions: baggage security compliance for travel in the second mode of transport, travel or screening, and baggage security non-compliance for travel in the second mode. Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, page 179 / 329 174 / 222 mode of transport, travel or screening. Consequently, this information can be communicated to a trusted handler of baggage marked as having security compliance for the second mode of transport, travel or screening to bypass subsequent security screening by a second security screening machine system for the second mode of transport, second mode of travel or second mode of screening.

[00601] In one or more modes, baggage items that pass through security screening and are entering from another country to transfer the mode of travel, may bypass security screening in the second mode of travel.

[00602] In addition, passengers can save time in Customs lines by using the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Global Entry Mobile app, available on the GOOGLE Play Store, APPLE Store, or other authorized mobile software vendors. The app requires the traveler to be an active member of the CBP Global Entry Program. A traveler entering the United States, for example, at one of the ports, will take a selfie that is verified. The user receives a code to expedite their process through CBP using the code in the app. The same code can be used to release baggage that has passed through the transfer mode screening to bypass security on the next travel vehicle. In this case, the baggage remains in secure custody until it is passed on to the next travel vehicle.

[00603] Figure 17C illustrates GUI 1700C from Figure 17A examining at least one security screening image by a screening operator, according to one embodiment. GUI 1700C is similar to GUI 1700B, therefore only the differences will be described. In this example, the scanner may have positioned boxes 1732, 1737, and 1750, for example, around the possible prohibited objects, using a Petition 870250096362, dated 10 / 22 / 2025, pp. 180 / 329 175 / 222 mouse, finger or other instrument to annotate the image. Other annotations can be added using a touchscreen display device.

[00604] GUI 1700C may include, in at least one line 1726, a plurality of prohibited objects or substances 1727. The prohibited objects or substances 1727 may be in the form of an icon or an image. Clicking on any icon or image in line 1726 may provide a drop-down list of other formats and styles of prohibited objects or substances. GUI 1700C may include the arrow 1728 in line 1726. The arrow 1728, when selected, may cause images to scroll off-screen to show additional images or icons that are prohibited.

[00605] GUI 1700C may include a security analysis result indicator selector 1767. In one or more modes, indicator selector 1767 may allow a user to enter a mark on the security analysis result manifest representing a security compliance, such as selecting approved, of the travel baggage item in the second mode of transport, travel or screening, and a non-security-related compliance, such as selecting failed, of the travel baggage item in the second mode of transport, travel or screening.
