Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for performing secure commercial transactions. The commercial transactions may be, for example, pre-pay pickup transactions, direct pay transactions, and transfer transactions. An identity of a user that initiates a commercial transaction may be verified based on biometric data. The biometric data may, for example, be representative of an image of at least a portion of a face of an individual, an image of an iris of an individual, at least a portion of a fingerprint of an individual, a temperature signature of an individual, a heartbeat signature of an individual, an odor characteristic of an individual, or a voice characteristic of an individual.

Abstract: Sensor data may be captured by at least one sensor in communication with at least one processor. The at least one processor may extract biometric data from the sensor data and compare the biometric data with stored biometric data for a first user stored in a memory in communication with the at least one processor. The at least one processor may determine that the biometric data matches the stored biometric data based on the comparing. The at least one processor may execute a transaction between the first user and a second user, the transaction comprising an exchange of digital currency between the users. The at least one processor may create a block in a distributed blockchain, the block comprising data memorializing the at least one transaction including information describing the exchange of the digital currency and at least one of the biometric data and the stored biometric data.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for enhancing biometric authentication are disclosed. According to a method, A circumferential biometric template (CBT) of a particular entity is generated based on one or more images of the particular entity. A request to access an item is received wherein the request includes an identifier corresponding to the particular entity. Circumferential biometric data (CBD) for one or more physical characteristics of an entity depicted in an image captured by an image capture device is obtained, Authentication outcome data indicating whether the CBD matches the CBT of the particular entity is generated. Access to the item is granted when the authentication outcome data indicates that the CBD matches the CBT of the particular entity. Access to the item is denied when the authentication outcome data indicates that the CBD fails to match the CBT of the particular entity.

Abstract: Social networking systems use mobile communication devices or personal computers to manage business and social transactions from a single point of reference site. The social networking systems eliminate the need to access and log into multiple sites to carry out these tasks.
