  • Publication number: 20130060622
    Abstract: A method for preventing fraudulent use of electronic coupons, discount certificates, and similar opportunities in mobile electronic commerce. Once a user has received an opportunity via the user's mobile device, the coupon, certificate, etc. may be redeemed. Redemption mechanisms may include a bar code which appears on the screen of the mobile device which is simply scanned at the point-of-sale or an alphanumeric code may be sent which the clerk types into her register. Thereafter, the user hands his device to the cashier, retailer, etc. whereupon the cashier undertakes the necessary actions to complete the process, for example, by selecting a “redeem” option appearing on the screen and entering a code.
