Abstract: Systems and methods for alternative payment mechanism payments using ultra-wideband radio technology are disclosed. A method may include a payment terminal computer program executed by a payment terminal selecting a customer electronic device that is conducting the payment transaction with the payment terminal; communicating, via a payment terminal UWB radio to the selected customer electronic device, payment transaction details for the payment transaction comprising a merchant identifier and a transaction amount; receiving, from the selected customer electronic device via the payment terminal UWB radio, an APM payment message for an APM payment provider; communicating the APM payment message to the APM payment provider, wherein the APM payment provider is configured to decision the transaction based on the APM payment message; and receiving, from the APM payment provider, a payment confirmation for the payment transaction.

Abstract: A method for electronic receipt transfer via ultra-wideband electronic (UWB) radio technology may include: causing, by a payment terminal computer program, an UWB radio to transmit a range request signal from a first antenna; receiving, by the payment terminal computer program and one or more customer electronic devices, a pair of replies to the range request signal, each comprising a first reply signal received at the first antenna and a second reply signal received at a second antenna; determining, by the payment terminal computer program, a distance between the UWB radio and each customer electronic device based on a time of flight; selecting, by the payment terminal computer program, the customer electronic devices having the distance that is closest to the UWB radio; and communicating, by the payment terminal computer program, an electronic receipt for a transaction to the selected customer electronic device.
