  • Patent number: 8116734
    Abstract: A managed service may include first logic to receive identification information from a mobile device and send an authorization to a transaction device indicating that the mobile device is identified, the identified mobile device to participate in a transaction with the transaction device. The first logic may receive payment information from the mobile device during the transaction and send payment to the transaction device on behalf of the mobile device during the transaction. The managed service may include second logic to determine whether the identity information is valid by comparing the identity information to stored identity information and generate the authorization when the identity information is valid. The second logic may process the payment information on behalf of the mobile device, allocate a debit or a credit to an account maintained on behalf of the mobile device, and send the payment to the first logic.

  • Patent number: 7823772
    Abstract: A managed service may include first logic to provide authentication information to a device on behalf of a mobile terminal to identify the mobile terminal for a near field transaction with the device, and receive transaction information from the device, where the transaction information is produced by the device on behalf of the mobile terminal. The first logic may further receive user information via the mobile terminal, the user information identifying characteristics of a user of the mobile terminal. The managed service may include second logic to produce a result that comprises information mined from the transaction information or user information, where the result identifies characteristics of the transaction or the user.

  • Patent number: 7748618
    Abstract: A managed service for a near field transaction that may include a server to register a wireless device with the managed service, provide authentication information to the wireless device for use in establishing an identity of the wireless device. The server may provide authorization information to a register on behalf of the wireless device to establish the identity to the register, where the identity, when valid, allows the wireless device to participate in the near field transaction via a secure near field communication session with the register, receive transaction information from the register or the wireless device, and store the transaction information with a transaction identifier, where the transaction identifier is used to recall the transaction information on behalf of the register or the wireless device.

  • Publication number: 20100121722
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for automating consumer restaurant and grocery food orders, and more specifically, a system for compiling a food order for a specific food establishment utilizing the consumer's food interests and the establishment's available food menu. The system includes a software application for generating a consumer account comprising food preferences, either entered by the consumer manually or by automatically collecting history data from one or more food establishments. Such data is then used to generate individual food orders for a specific customer at each food establishment. The system can further include a customer identification card which can be used at each food establishment to automatically draw up an order. Alternately, orders may be automatically created at specific times during a day based on data sent to an establishment from an application repository on an automated basis.

  • Patent number: 7708194
    Abstract: A managed service may include first logic to receive authentication information from a user terminal on behalf of a user, and receive user information on behalf of the user when the user terminal is authenticated via the authentication information. The first logic may send a portion of the user information to a mobile wallet application operating on a mobile terminal related to the user, and may receive updated user information from the mobile terminal, where the updated user information identifies a change to the portion of the user information, the change based on an operation performed via the mobile terminal on behalf of the user. The managed service may include second logic to store the user information in a server virtual wallet application on behalf of the user, retrieve the portion of the user information from the server virtual wallet application for the sending, and store the updated user information in the server virtual wallet application.
