In general terms, embodiments of the present invention relate to apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for electronic identification and notification of banking record discrepancies associated with the use of mobile wallet functionality. For example, in some embodiments, an apparatus is provided that comprises a communication device, and a processing device communicable coupled to the communication device, wherein the processing device is configured to (a) receive mobile wallet information from a mobile computing device of the user, wherein the mobile computing device features mobile wallet functionality; (b) compare the mobile wallet information to bank records of the user; (c) determine, based at least partially on the mobile wallet information, whether there is a discrepancy associated with the user's account; and (e) present an indication of whether there is a discrepancy associated with the user's account.

A light source module includes an array of illumination elements and a light diffusing material. The light source module is configured to receive a control signal for adjusting diffusion of light emitted from the light source module and in response adjust the amount of diffusion of light emitted from the light source module. A light source module may include a segmented light diffusing material where each segment is associated with an illumination element. And individual segments may have light diffusing properties that are different than other segments of the light diffusing material. Some illumination elements may emit light of a different color spectrum than other illumination elements, and a light diffusing material may scatter the different colored light to illuminate a scene with combinations of light of different colors. A light source module may be embedded in a mobile computing device.

The present disclosure provides universal payment module systems and methods for mobile computing devices that include a universal payment module and an associated adapter device for coupling the universal payment module to any of a plurality of mobile computing devices. The present disclosure utilizes a common payment module which can interface multiple mobile computers with differing form factors via a snap-on sled. Advantageously, the present invention allows the leveraging of one payment module for many mobile computers. The single payment module includes various special payment security mechanisms via mechanical, electrical, and software mechanisms. The present disclosure enables design, standardization, and production of one single common, universal payment module for a plurality of mobile computer devices instead of one specific payment module for each form factor of the plurality of mobile computer devices.
