Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for providing payment data from one device to another via a payment protocol. A device establishes, via a wireless link, a communication between the device and a user device The device transmits, via a protocol a signal to the user device to initiate a payment process on the user device to make the purchase. The signal is configured to cause the user device, automatically and without any other user interaction, to next receive a confirmation from the user to finalize the purchase. The device receives, via the wireless link, from the user device and at the wireless communication device, user payment data to make the purchase. The user payment data is obtained based on the confirmation and other parameters. The device transmits, to the user device and via the wireless link, a payment confirmation upon completion of the payment process.

Abstract: A system and method for providing payments is disclosed. A method can include establishing a wireless link between a mobile device and a merchant device. After an instruction is displayed on the mobile device, a combination of a first type of input and a second type of input are received on the mobile device, first type of input including at least one button press of a physical button and the second type of input received from a user to confirm a payment for the purchase. Based on the inputs, payment data is retrieved from a memory of the mobile device. The method includes receiving the payment data at the merchant device to make the purchase, wherein receiving the payment data, via the wireless link, at the merchant device to make the purchase is performed according to a protocol for communicating the payment data to the merchant device.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system and process of providing social networking purchasing processes. A method includes receiving, from a posting entity and at the social networking entity, a posting or a submission of a text, an image or a video. When the submission is associated with a product within a product catalog of the posting entity, the social networking entity presents in a newsfeed of users or otherwise on the social networking entity, the text, image or video with an associated option to buy. The option to buy might be presented through a messenger application or as the user browses the posting. When there is a correlation between the posting and the product catalog, and when the user makes a purchase of the product, the user is not transitioned away from the social networking entity. Initiating a payment process occurs within the social networking entity.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for receiving, at a user device, data from a near-field-communication tag on an object, initiating, based on the data, a browser on the user device, navigating, based on the data and via the browser, to a site and transmitting authorized payment data or other task to the site based on payment data retrieved from either the user device or a network entity. The data can be communicated from the browser to the site through an application programming interface. Any task can be performed as well such as opening a door, starting a car, or renting a parking space.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method including receiving at a user device a scan of a code, initiating on the device, based on the code, a communication with a server, receiving, based on the communication and from the server, a download of a user interface, the download being independent of a full application stored on the user device, transmitting, via the software module, an identification, received from the user, of a function to perform in connection with the code, transmitting location data associated with the user device to the server and transmitting authorized data to the server based on data retrieved from either the user device or a network entity. The user can scan product codes or rental codes in the store or on a device like a scooter and receive the interactive interface for performing a function. The process eliminates the need for point of sale equipment and eliminates checkout lines.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for transitioning a user from a search site like Google directly from an advertisement to a payment checkout process on the merchant site. A system can be configured to provide, to a non-commerce site, data about a product; provide, to the non-commerce site, a checkout link associated with a checkout process; provide an advertisement to non-merchant side for the product; and receive, from the non-commerce site, a transition of a user into the checkout process for the product, wherein the transition is based on the user interacting with the advertisement for the product the checkout link that causes a transition of the user from the non-commerce site to the checkout process.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method including presenting an input field on a user interface of a generalized search entity, wherein the generalized search entity processes data using a generalized search engine that indexes and searches both merchant sites and non-merchant sites, receiving user input in the input field and determining whether the user input corresponds to a product in a product database to yield a determination. When the determination indicates that the user input does correspond to the product in the product database, the method includes presenting a purchase-related search result, wherein the purchase-related search result is configured such that when a user interacts with the purchase-related search result and confirms a purchase associated with the purchase-related search result, the generalized search entity initiates a purchasing process for the product.
