Abstract:
Automatically communicating information related to a user computing device from a central computing system to a transaction computing system prior to initiation of a transaction between the user computing device and the transaction computing system comprises a digital wallet application and a central computing system. A digital wallet application receives a beacon signal from a transaction computing system indicating the specific identification of the terminal with which the user intends to conduct a transaction. The user computing device communicates the terminal identification to the central computing system. The central computing system communicates customer data, such as loyalty information and offers, to the transaction computing system associated with the terminal. The transaction computing system communicates the customer data to the terminal. When the user taps the user computing device to initiate the transaction, the terminal provides any benefits associated with the customer data.
Abstract:
Transmitting customer identifications comprises a digital wallet of a user and a wireless payment instrument. A digital wallet application receives a customer identification from a digital wallet system hosting a customer account. The application receives an input from a user into a user interface of a user computing device, the input instructing the user computing device to transmit the customer identification to a payment instrument. The application instructs the user to position the payment instrument in proximity of the user computing device and initiates a wireless communication with the payment instrument and requests payment instrument data from the payment instrument. The application verifies the payment instrument data based on the payment instrument data and communicates the customer identification to the payment instrument and instructions to provide the customer identification to a merchant system point of sale system when providing payment instrument data to the merchant system point of sale terminal.
