Abstract: The electronic Secure Authentication For Exchange Global Purchasing System (GPurs) facilitates interactions between customers and service/retail commercial enterprise whereby a Global Positioning System (GPS) like system is used to search, locate, reserve, schedule, order or purchase numerous products and services through a secure system that employs product encryption safeguards against counterfeit, diverted or pirated products, and to reserve, order or purchase services that meet quality standards. The GPurs system presents a digital graphical user interface to accept customer input, an audio interaction system speech recognition engine linked microphone or cellular telephone, a digital device interface that accepts textual input from a cellular telephone, PC, PDA, IPod, DVD controller, game controller, or an on-board automotive integrated computer or a wireless input system, to search, locate, reserve, schedule, order or purchase products and services.

Abstract: The electronic Secure Authentication for Exchange Application Interface Device (eSafeAID) invention provides a means for digital communication devices such as: high definition televisions, set-top boxes, television remote control devices, video remote control devices, Personal Computers, Notebook computers, cellular telephones, RFID Readers, Personal Digital Appliances, etc., to conduct ‘eCommerce—electronic digital shopping experiences and purchase transactions’ within a network environment (preferably an authenticated Secure Telecommunication Network) thereby facilitating customers to purchase, order, reserve products, locate products and services, or participate in auctions, or order, schedule, reserve, or purchase services, and or acquire product or service details, incentive offers, service offers, travel information, etc. while viewing media programming.

Abstract: The electronic Secure Authentication For Exchange Buyer Assurance System (eSafeBay) establishes an integrated secure computerized network to ensure that products or items offered for auction and/or purchase from an internet auction site, electronic commerce site, or similar electronic auction business entity (referred to collectively as an “auction”) are authenticated prior to the product's purchase against counterfeiting or piracy by enacting an RFID “Cryptographic Authentication Challenge” as detailed within the “Security authentication system for collectible and consumer items” (U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/157,282), or other secure authentication method.

Abstract: The invention provides customers the ability to reserve, order, or purchase products or services directly from eCommerce providers, retailers, manufacturers, distributors, brokers, auctions and service providers (collectively referred to as “retailers”) in a safe and secure fashion by receiving authentication notifications and product certification throughout the ordering/purchase procurement process. It also facilitates the ability to read an RFID tag (or another identification/tagging mechanism) embedded within or attached to products and determine the product's manufacturer, supplier, retailer, model number, etc., and locate an identical/similar product based upon the eSafeBuy customer's preferences within the (physical or digital cyber-space) retail environment.

Abstract: The Direct Incentive Authentication Link System establishes a real-time direct communication link between a consumer and a product's Manufacturer, Retailer, Credit Card Company, or Distributor (referred to collectively as the “Retailers”) during the purchase process within any type of retail environment.

Abstract: A system comprised of computer hardware and software used to authenticate collectable/valuable consumer products (FIG. 3 element 310) utilizing a cellular telephone (FIG. 3 element 330)—containing an RFID reader device—authenticated as a “Trusted Reader”. The “Trusted Reader” cellular telephone reads an RFID tag (FIG. 5 element 320) attached to and/or embedded within a product to acquire an RFID tag's Electronic Product Code (EPC) (FIG. 5 element 322). The EPC unique id (and optionally other data) is transmitted over a Cellular Telephone Network (FIG. 5 element 340) to a Trust Authority (FIG. 3 element 370) to obtain an associated Public Key (FIG. 2 element 211) used in a cryptographic authentication challenge to authenticate an item against piracy and counterfeiting. The cellular telephone can transfer its data to a store Cash Register (FIG. 6 element 319) or Credit Card Reader to complete the purchase.

Abstract: A system and methods to authenticate collectable items using Unique Identifier (FIG. 1 element 110) housed within collectable item (FIG. 1 element 100) or attached to collectable item, Unique Identifier reader (FIG. 5 element 500), and Authentication Authority database (FIG. 6 element 680). Cryptographic techniques and Authentication Unique data (FIG. 8) increases the authentication strength of collectable item and establish ownership lineage of collectable item.
