Patent number: 10922688Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for performing social network secure transactions is provided. A list of payment recipients each associated with a hashtag is maintained for a user. A chat session of the user is monitored on a social network platform. During the chat session, a message associated with one of the hashtags and indicating a possible transfer of funds is identified from the user. Transfer of the chat session to a secure payment platform is triggered based on the identified message. A message also associated with the hashtag and having encrypted payment information for a payment transaction is received via the secure payment platform. The payment information is decrypted and validation of the decrypted payment information is performed for the transaction. A transfer of the user to the social network platform is triggered and a notification of validation is transmitted to the recipient associated with the message hashtag.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: SmartBotHub, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Alan Wells, Alkarim “Al” Lalji
