Abstract:
A smart payment device is issued to a user; the device is capable of both offline and online transactions and has a total available balance split. The split is between an available offline balance and an available online balance. It is determined whether the user has entered a primarily offline environment or will imminently enter a primarily offline environment. If this is so, the total available balance split is redistributed to favor offline transactions.
Abstract:
A method may include requesting payment infrastructure data from a payment device reader. The method may further includes receiving payment infrastructure data from the payment device reader. The payment infrastructure data that is received may be indicative of a country in which the payment device reader is installed. In addition, the method may include selecting data for transmission to the payment device reader based at least in part on the received payment infrastructure data.
Abstract:
Prepaid staging account systems and methods are described that allow issuer financial institutions to quickly and efficiently launch NFC device payment programs. In an embodiment, a staging account provider computer receives a request to provision a mobile account. The staging account provider computer generates a mobile account PAN and associates it with a funding account PAN, and transmits a personalization request to personalize a payment application for the cardholder's mobile device to a trusted service manager (TSM) computer. The staging account provider computer receives a status confirmation message from the TSM computer indicating that the payment application has been personalized and loaded onto the cardholder's mobile device, and then transmits a mobile account initialization message that includes the mobile account PAN to the primary issuer.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatus and methods for cost effectively and accurately testing the validity and/or success of an over-the-air (OTA) personalization of a payment-enabled mobile device. In an embodiment, a process includes transmitting, by a mobile device processor to an issuer financial institution (FI) computer, a request for a unique number, receiving the unique number, generating a cryptogram based on the unique number, and transmitting the cryptogram and a zero value purchase amount transaction request to the issuer FI computer. The process also includes receiving, by the mobile device processor, a zero value transaction authorization message from the issuer FI computer which indicates that the payment application successfully loaded and is functional. In some embodiments, a payment application load success message is then displayed on a display component of the payment-enabled mobile device.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for provisioning a prepaid mobile staging account to consumer mobile devices are described that allow issuer financial institutions to quickly and efficiently launch NFC device payment programs. In an embodiment, a staging account provider computer receives a request to provision a prepaid mobile payment staging account that includes identification information and associates the identification information with a prepaid mobile staging account. The staging account provider computer then identifies a financial account of the consumer held by an issuer financial institution (FI), generates a consumer prepaid mobile staging account loaded with funds from the financial account of the consumer, and transmits a confirmation message to the consumer's mobile device indicating successful setup.
Abstract:
A method for verifying an image by a first electronic device, the method comprising the first electronic device: sending a request for an image to a second electronic device, wherein the second electronic device is remote from the first electronic device and, optionally, a server; receiving an image and a certificate from the second electronic device, wherein the certificate comprises a protected checksum of at least the image; generating a checksum in dependence on at least the received image; performing a comparison in dependence on said generated checksum and the protected checksum received in the certificate; and verifying the received image in dependence upon the comparison. Advantageously, the first electronic device is able to verify each received image and to prevent the display of any received images that are not authenticated. Applications include the display of card images.
Abstract:
Near-field communication (NFC) test apparatus and methods for use by a consumer to confirm the functionality of the NFC circuitry of his or her NFC-enabled mobile device, and/or to troubleshoot wireless (NFC) communications problems of the mobile device. In an embodiment, a method includes initializing, by a mobile device processor, a NFC test application, displaying on a mobile device display screen a prompt for the consumer to position the mobile device onto a test platform that includes at least one NFC tag, initializing the NFC circuitry of the mobile device to power and communicate with the at least one NFC tag, and displaying an indication on the mobile device display screen concerning functionality of the NFC circuitry.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electronic device 101 for use in a transaction process. The electronic device 101 comprises a first wireless communication module for communicating with a second electronic device 102 and a second wireless communication module for communicating with a payment terminal 106 for the purpose of performing a payment transaction. The electronic device 101 is capable of relaying data between the second device 102 and the payment terminal 106. A method of performing a transaction is also disclosed, said method comprising the following steps. Firstly, a first wireless communication between an electronic device 101 and a second electronic device 102 is established. Secondly, transaction details required to perform a contactless transaction are uploaded from the second electronic device 102 to the electronic device 101 and securely stored on the electronic device 101. Thirdly a second wireless communication between the electronic device 101 and a payment terminal 106 is established. Finally, the payment terminal 106 is provided with the transaction details.
Abstract:
Described are methods and systems for remotely personalizing a payment device. In an embodiment, a trusted service provider (TSP) personalization server receives a payment device personalization request from a remote personalization device (RPD), determines that a hardware security token (HST) permits issuance of the payment device, and transmits a personalization data request to an issuer. The TSP personalization server then receives the requested personalization data from a Mobile Over-the-Air Provisioning Service (MOTAPS) server, generates session keys, converts data from the MOTAPS server into payment device application process data unit (APDU) data, and then transmits the personalization data and APDU data to the RPD to load onto a payment device.
