  • Patent number: 11720893
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods that allow users to use their communication devices to perform transactions (e.g., payment transactions, access transactions, etc.). To complete a transaction, a resource provider electronically generates a code representing transaction data and displays it on an access device. The user scans the code with his or her communication device using a camera associated with the communication device, for example. The code is interpreted by an application on the communication device. The user may request and receive a token at the communication device corresponding to sensitive information selected to perform the transaction (e.g., a primary account number). The user may then provide the token and the transaction data via the communication device to a server computer, which may facilitate completion of the transaction between the user and the resource provider using the transaction data and the token.

  • Patent number: 11715091
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves solutions for dynamically connecting a customer-owned mobile device, a cloud-based service, and one or more particular physical payment devices located at an entity. In one example, as executed at a cloud-based payment service, a unique identifier associated with a location of a mobile device of a customer is received. An entity and a first location within the entity is determined based on the unique identifier, and a particular payment device at the entity is determined. The cloud service transmits, to the particular payment device, information to be used by the particular payment device to perform the payment transaction. A second signal is transmitted to the mobile device of the customer, and includes an indication of the particular payment device at which the payment transaction is to be completed. The payment transaction can then be completed at the particular payment device.

  • Patent number: 11663575
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for time sensitive geo-location data for push notifications after shared transaction processing. A user may utilize a communication device to perform electronic transaction processing for a group of users at a location. The device may be geo-location enabled so that a service provider may detect a location of the device. Based on the geo-location of the user at the time of processing and other nearby geo-location enabled device, the service provider may determine other users that share in the transaction and are associated with the user using messaging connections and shared data transmissions. The service provider may determine the transaction that the user processed. The service provider may request that the other users provide the required reimbursement to the user that processed the transaction data. The other users' devices may receive a push notification and data to perform transaction processing.

  • Patent number: 11636459
    Abstract: Systems and methods for autonomously dispensing items. A dispensing system receives a first distributed ledger transaction that: i) identifies an item, ii) identifies a container associated with and containing the item, iii) includes a status indicator in a first state identifying the item as present in the container, and iv) includes an authorization code associated with a mobile device. The authorization code is received from the mobile device. The dispensing system creates a second distributed ledger transaction based on the first distributed ledger transaction that changes the status indicator to a second state identifying the item as authorized for dispensing. Responsive to the creation of the second distributed ledger transaction, access is autonomously provided to the item. The dispensing system creates a third distributed ledger transaction based on the second distributed ledger transaction that changes the status indicator to a third state identifying the item as dispensed.
