  • Patent number: 12062044
    Abstract: A payment terminal includes a card interface and a transaction processor. The terminal receives a preliminary authorization amount, and receives application data from a payment card that is interfaced with the card interface. The application data includes an account number that is uniquely associated with the payment card. The processor generates an adjusted authorization amount from the account number and the preliminary authorization amount, determines whether the adjusted authorization amount can be authorized offline, and transmits a cryptogram request to the payment card. The adjusted authorization amount is different from the preliminary authorization amount. The cryptogram request includes the adjusted authorization amount.

  • Patent number: 12008553
    Abstract: A session data processing network includes a POS terminal and at least one computer server. The POS terminal is configured to establish a secure communications session with a communications appliance, receive session data from the communications appliance via the communications session, extract a ledger identifier and a token from the session data, transmit an authorization request message and a rewards request message to the server. The authorization request message includes the ledger identifier and an authorization value. The rewards request message includes the token and requests a reward of loyalty points to a secondary ledger associated with the token. The server is configured to receive the authorization request message and the loyalty rewards request message, confirm authorization of a transaction in an amount equal to the authorization value from an account associated with the ledger identifier, and transmit to the POS terminal an authorization response message confirming the authorization.

  • Publication number: 20240144220
    Abstract: In an aspect a computer-implemented method is described. The method may include: causing a point-of-sale terminal processing a transaction to display a machine-readable code, the machine-readable code encoding a web address; receiving a request from a device that scanned the machine-readable code, the request received at the web address and the request including data; determining, based on data encoded in the machine-readable code and data included in the request, that the transaction may be processed using a value-added service; and in response to determining that the transaction may be processed using the value-added service, enabling completion of the transaction using the value-added service.

  • Patent number: 11921836
    Abstract: A method for authenticating a wearable device is disclosed. The method includes: receiving, from a tokenization service provider (TSP), a signal representing a first code derived by the TSP from decrypting a security token previously provisioned in the computing device, wherein the security token was received at a terminal from the computing device and transmitted to the TSP; obtaining, based on the received signal representing the first code, a device identifier of the computing device and an identifier of an account; querying a device database to verify that the computing device is associated with a first status; verifying that the account is enabled for an operation initiated using the computing device; and transmitting an authorization message to the terminal, the authorization message authorizing the operation.

  • Patent number: 11895095
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that, among other things, authenticate device identity and authorize exchanges of data in real-time based on dynamically generated cryptographic data. For example, an apparatus may receive a first signal that includes a first cryptogram associated with a client device, and may perform operations that authenticate an identity of the client device based on a comparison of the received first cryptogram and a second cryptogram generated by a computing system associated with an application program executed by the client device. In response to the authenticated identity, the apparatus may load profile data associated with the client device from a storage unit, and perform operations consistent with the profile data in accordance with the authenticated identity.
