Publication number: 20230401556Abstract: A wearable device, such as a finger ring worn by a user, communicates information about a user to a reader that uses the information in order to perform a transaction. Such wearable device may be conveniently carried by and accessible to the user such that utilization of the device for the transaction is less burdensome for the user, thereby encouraging use of the device for particular transactions. Indeed, in some cases, such as when the device is implemented as a finger ring or other type of jewelry, the user may be encouraged to carry the device in an exposed manner such that it is readily available for the transaction without the user having to search in a wallet, pocket, or purse for the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: Afshin Rezayee, Emad Bidari, Thomas Templeton, Michael Lamfalusi, Matthew H. Maibach, Jesse L. Dorogusker

Patent number: 10929847Abstract: A technique for providing a pay-by-name payment experience is disclosed. A point-of-sale (POS) system at a store receives information identifying an account with a central server from a payment card using a short-range wireless technology. In response to that, it obtains information regarding the account, including a person's name associated with the account, using the received information. It also accepts a name from a specific consumer in the vicinity. At this point, it determines whether the name accepted from the specific consumer and the name associated with the account are identical. If it determines that the two names are identical, it checks-in the consumer to the store.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2019Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Templeton, Nathan Spindel, Paul Aaron, Jesse L.
