Patent number: 11308485Abstract: In some embodiments, a method for binding a user's information to a user's account with a payment service provider includes receiving a request to pay for a transaction using the user's account with the payment service provider. The request to pay specifies a funding instrument. Additionally, the payment service provider is a source of the funding instrument, and the transaction is between the user and a merchant application. The method also includes generating a common identifier (ID) corresponding to the funding instrument, and generating a payment token corresponding to the common ID and the funding instrument. The common ID is a non-transactable token associated with the merchant application and the user, and the payment token is a non-transactable token that corresponds to the common ID. The method further includes binding the user's payment service provider account to the payment token and the common ID.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2016Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Dinesh Agnello Gomes, Nitin Prabhu

Patent number: 11295291Abstract: A system and/or method may be provided to assure a payment being made via a user device before the user device fully runs out of battery power. In particular, while a user device is running out of battery power, the system may allow a user to designate a merchant/user/service to which the user may make payments via a user device without user authentication and/or awareness. Under the same situation of low battery power, the system may also allow the user to make payments to a merchant/user/service with which the user frequently shops without user authentication and/or initial awareness. After the payment being made, the system may communicate with the user with further action, which requires no or low consumption of battery power.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventor: Megan Marie Williams
