Abstract:
This invention describes a hand held digital transceiver to transmit a signal as light (visible and invisible) or sound (audible and inaudible) or other digitized code for alphanumeric in any language, special characters or symbols or graphic or pictures or any combination thereof, to the ATM that is equipped with a compatible digital transceiver card. This card can transmit and receive the said signals and codes using a driver and/or firmware for the operation, management and maintenance of this security system. Upon verification, of the transmitted code, by the ATM, access is granted. The ATM then transmits a randomly selected new code of any combination of the codes or signals stated above to the transceiver for storage in the said transceiver and recording on the client card. The said transmission from the ATM cannot be stored in any other hand held transceiver located within range of the transmission.
Abstract:
A speech application implements a telephone-based commerce system and method which complements a core payment processing business and influences banks and other key partners to conduct such electronic business and commerce. The speech application includes a speech driven telephone interface for consumer shopping and order placement of commodity items; a consumer registration interface and secure process that ties in a credit card, debit card, or bank account; and a build-your-own-voice-store web application which includes a voice user interface with interactive voice response tailoring each voice store within the speech framework of the present invention and an inventory database. Multi-currency services, permitting pricing or payment in any chosen currency, as well as multiple spoken language processing of voice inputs are supported for performing voice commerce over telephones.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a mutual authentication and settlement system using a mobile communication terminal for performing financial transaction between a mobile communication terminal of a transmitting side and a mobile communication terminal of a receiving side through a mobile communication system. The system includes a settlement server connected to the mobile communication network that processes data exchange between the transmitting side and the receiving side, wherein the settlement server establishes a call connection between the mobile communication terminal of the transmitting side and the mobile communication terminal of the receiving side, requests a financial institution to inquire settlement accounts of the transmitting side and the receiving side and requests the financial institution to settle a financial fund according a settlement request from the transmitting side or the receiving side, and processes the financial transaction requested between the mobile communication terminal of the transmitting side and the mobile communication terminal of the receiving side by requesting and confirming established authentication for the mobile communication terminal of the transmitting side and the mobile communication terminal of the receiving side.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electronic payment system and method thereof. The system can execute electronic payment without adding parts to a conventional cellular phone. It is comprised of: (1) a cellular phone; (2) an answering machine which transmits information to a cellular phone diverting sound, embodying a cellular phone's user ID, credit card information, a cellular phone's number, and a variety of electronic payment information, setting up a cellular phone and calling, and decoding the electronic payment information of the user's cellular phone; (3) a receiving device which execute thes the electronic payment, decoding the related electronic payment information included in sound inputted through a cellular phone.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for performing sales transactions using a mobile communications device and without requiring text messaging or paging services are disclosed. In one example, a subscriber desiring to purchase goods or services proceeds to a point of sale device (125) where the purchase price for the goods or services is totaled. The subscriber then initiates a voice call with a central transaction server (108). The subscriber provides a point of sale device identifier and the purchase price to the central transaction server (108). The central transaction server (108) contacts a local transaction server (120) using the identifier provided by the subscriber. The central transaction server (108) also prompts the subscriber to select the payment account for the transaction and verifies that the subscriber has sufficient credit to purchase the goods or services. The central transaction server (108) locates a pending transaction entry in a database (122) local to the point of sale using the device identifier provided by the subscriber. Upon locating the pending transaction entry and verifying that the subscriber has sufficient credit, the central transaction server (108) notifies the subscriber and the point of sale device (125) that the transaction is complete.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for allowing persons to securely identify themselves in electronic commerce and transactions involving other parties. A token stores or determines a set of cryptographic signatures and uses a sound component to generate a unique audible tone representative of a cryptographic signature. The audible tone is conveyed to a party requesting authentication of the token holder, whereupon the party determines whether the information conveyed by the audible tone exists in a database of identities.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus of payment processing, a transaction method and a mobile device are disclosed. The payment processing method includes collecting an audio signal; obtaining a graphic code, wherein the graphic code is generated based on a predetermined account and a number recognized from the audio signal, the number being used for indicating an amount to be paid and the predetermined account being an account that is to have a payment activity; and displaying the graphic code, wherein the graphic code is used for triggering the payment activity with the predetermined account to complete a payment of the amount corresponding to the number upon being scanned. The present disclosure solves the technical problems of a relatively low efficiency of offline transaction processes caused by the need of manual entry of a payment account for each offline payment.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for detecting item scans with audio signal processing. A first machine-readable identifier may be rendered in a display device associated with at least one computing device, where the first machinereadable identifier is associated with a first item in a list of items. An audio signal may be captured using a microphone and analyzed to identify a predetermined tone in the audio signal indicative of a scan being performed on a register device. In response to the predetermined tone in the audio signal being identified, the first machine-readable identifier may be replaced with a second machine-readable identifier in the display device, where the second machine-readable identifier is associated with a second item in the list of items.
Abstract:
A payment card reader connected to an audio port of a mobile computing device may include a card interface, the card interface configured to read data from a payment card; a TRRS connector to couple the payment card reader with the mobile computing device; and an audio interface circuit coupled with the TRRS connector. The audio interface circuit may include a communication circuit configured to transmit data to and receive data from the mobile computing device via the TRRS connector and an energy harvesting circuit configured to receive an audio signal via the TRRS connector, to harvest energy from the audio signal, and to provide energy to other components of the card reader.
Abstract:
A system, method and apparatus for the identification of users and devices based on proximity. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to identifying registered devices and users using a combination of components, factors and technologies including geo location, sound, and low energy Bluetooth. Further embodiments include the transacting of payments between registered users that are within a specified proximity of each other.
