  • Publication number: 20140337175
    Abstract: The UNIVERSAL ELECTRONIC PAYMENT APPARATUS, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“UEP”) transform touchscreen inputs into a virtual wallet mobile application interface via UEP components into purchase transaction triggers and receipt notices. In one implementation the UEP provides, via a user device, a product information search request; and obtains, in response to the product information search request, information on a first product for sale by a first merchant and a second product for sale by a second merchant. The UEP generates a single purchase transaction request, using the information on the first product for sale by the first merchant and the second product for sale by the second merchant. The UEP provides, via the user device, the single purchase transaction request for payment processing. Also, the UEP obtains an electronic purchase receipt for the first product for sale by the first merchant and the second product for sale by the second merchant.

  • Publication number: 20140279476
    Abstract: The MULTIPLE ACCOUNT DYNAMIC CARD APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“MADC”) may be a flexible payment device where a first flexible layer has two sides—a back side, which includes a data varying loader element and an inner side opposite back side. The inner side may have a power source, circuit, processor, memory, and a graphics processor. An indication is obtained to display the one card account and accompanying graphics and card information and loaded onto the loader element. A display controller is also connected to the processor and controls the display. The transaction card second flexible layer has two sides, one of which is a touch e-ink display and an inner touch e-ink side.

  • Publication number: 20140172430
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for secure voice authentication through a communication device or access device. Certain embodiments allow for providing a word string to a communication device or authentication device. The communication or authentication device plays a supplemental signal that is unique to a transaction. The communication device or authentication device concurrently records an audio segment originating from the user and the supplemental signal. The audio segment is an attempt by the user to vocally reproduce the word string. The communication device or authentication device sends the concurrently recorded audio segment and supplemental signal, to a computer, where the computer authenticates the user.

  • Publication number: 20140040127
    Abstract: The VIRTUAL WALLET CARD SELECTION APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“VWCS”) transform virtual wallet card selections by users utilizing mobile devices via VWCS components into virtual wallet card-based transaction purchase notifications. In one implementation, the VWCS obtains a user authentication request for a purchase transaction, and extracts a universal card account number from it. Upon querying a database, the VWCS determines that the user has access to a virtual wallet and obtains virtual wallet card selection options for the user from the database. The VWCS provides the virtual wallet card selection options to a user mobile device, and obtains a user selection of an account included among the options. The VWCS initiates a purchase transaction using the user selection. Also, upon completion of authorization of the purchase transaction, the VWCS provides a purchase receipt to the user mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20130218721
    Abstract: The TRANSACTION VISUAL CAPTURING APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“TVC”) transform mobile device location coordinate information transmissions, real-time reality visual capturing, and mixed gesture capturing via TVC components into real-time behavior-sensitive product purchase related information, shopping purchase transaction notifications, and electronic receipts. In one implementation, the TVC obtains user check-in information from a user mobile device upon user entry into a store. The TVC extracts a user identifier based on the user check-in information, and accesses a database for a user profile. The TVC determines a user prior behavior pattern from the accessed user profile, and obtains user real-time in-store behavior data from the user mobile device. Using these, the TVC generates and provides a recommendation to the user mobile device. The TVC adds a product for purchase by the user to a cart based on the provided recommendation.

  • Publication number: 20120271712
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for transforming product code snapshots into real-time, offer-driven electronic purchase transaction notifications that minimize fraud. In one embodiment, a smart phone scans a product identifier from a product package, a server accesses a products database for product purchase offers associated with the product identifier, a user authorizes a credit card from his or her wallet to charge, and then product purchase offers or other credit card offers (for loyalty points or otherwise) are provided to the user mobile device. After a user has purchased an item while in the aisle of the store, the user's smart phone displays a barcoded electronic receipt that can be scanned by the exit so that the consumer can walk out with the produce. In some embodiments, a video chat is requested by a customer service representative and a transaction risk score is lowered based on acceptance of the video chat.

  • Publication number: 20120233073
    Abstract: The UNIVERSAL VALUE EXCHANGE APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“UVE”) transform cross-ecosystem currency exchange instructions via UVE components into cross-ecosystem currency exchanges. In one embodiment, the UVE may obtain a cross-ecosystem currency exchange instruction and determine one or more sources and destinations based on parsing the cross-ecosystem currency exchange instruction. The UVE may identify currency types associated with the sources and the destinations and determine exchange rates of the currency types relative to a standard currency. In one implementation, the UVE may obtain currency exchange restrictions and conditions associated with the sources and the destinations and generate a currency exchange flow path for currency transfer from the sources to the destinations.

  • Publication number: 20120158589
    Abstract: The SOCIAL MEDIA PAYMENT PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“SocialPay”) transform message posts to social networks via SocialPay components into payment transaction receipts social merchant-consumer bridging offers. In one implementation, the SocialPay obtains a user social pay initiation trigger, and obtains user social data from a social networking site. The SocialPay identifies a social pay command within the user social data. In one implementation, the SocialPay, in identifying the social pay command within the user social data, parses the user social data, and extracts a social pay command string within the user social data. The SocialPay determines a payor identifier, a payee identifier, and a payment amount using the social pay command string. Based on the identified social pay command, the SocialPay initiates a funds payment transaction.
