  • Patent number: 10482463
    Abstract: An account management system establishes a facial template for a user based on an image. The user computing device, signed into a payment application at the merchant location, receives an identifier from a merchant beacon device to transmit to the account management system, which transmits payment tokens based on payment account data and facial templates to the merchant POS device for each user signed in at the merchant location. The merchant POS device identifies the user by comparing a captured image of the user against the received facial templates and transmits the payment token to an issuer system. At a later time, the account management system receives, from a user computing device, a subsequent user image and generates a subsequent facial template. If the difference of the subsequent facial template is less than a threshold from the existing facial template, the subsequent facial template is associated with the user account.

  • Patent number: 10460317
    Abstract: Conducting hands-free transactions comprises a server at a payment processing system, a user computing device, and a merchant computing device. The payment processing system registers a merchant system as a hands-free payment participant and provides a beacon identifier. The payment processing system receives a communication from a hands-free payment application on a user computing device, the communication comprising a transaction token, an identification of a user account, and the beacon identifier received by the user computing device via a wireless communication from a device associated with the merchant system and transmits the transaction token to the merchant system computing device.

  • Publication number: 20190287097
    Abstract: Conducting hands-free transactions comprises a server at a payment processing system, a user computing device, and a merchant computing device. The payment processing system receives a communication from a hands-free payment application on a user device, the communication comprising a first transaction token, an identification of a user account, and a beacon identifier. The merchant may provide a challenge to the user and use the response to identify the token and account of the user. The merchant computing device can use voice patterns of the user to assist in identifying the token and account of the user. The system receives from the merchant computing device a transaction request, the transaction request comprising the first transaction token and transaction data associated with the transaction request. The system determines that the transaction is for an amount less than a configured transaction limit and communicates a request for an authorization of the transaction.

  • Patent number: 10397220
    Abstract: An account management system establishes an account for a user. The user enters user account information into the account and the account management system establishes a facial template for the user based on an image of the face of the user. The user requests to change user account information at a merchant POS (POS) device. The merchant POS device captures a facial image of the user and transmits the image the account management system, which generates a facial template and compares the generated facial template against the existing facial template associated with user account. If the generated facial template is less than a threshold difference from the existing facial template, the user may update user account information at the merchant POS device, which communicates the updated user account information to the account management system. The account management system associates the updated user account information with the user account.

  • Patent number: 10278006
    Abstract: A user enters a location with a user device. A beacon device broadcasts a first beacon device code comprising a hardware identifier via a local wireless network at the location. A service application of the user device receives the first beacon device hardware identifier, logs a check-in status of the user, and transmits the check-in status to a service provider system. The beacon device generates, after a predetermined period of time, a subsequent beacon device code comprising a random number to broadcast at the location via the local wireless network. In response to receiving the subsequent beacon device code broadcast by the beacon device, the user device logs and transmits a subsequent check in status to the service provider system via the network. The service provider system provides services to the user device or another device at the location in accordance with the check-in status of the user device.

  • Publication number: 20170255915
    Abstract: A processing system periodically configures a beacon code and random nonce to transmit to a beacon device at a location. Multiple users enter the location with associated user computing devices and retransmit the beacon code broadcasted by the beacon device to the processing system. A computing device at the location transmits to the processing system a request for account data comprising a hardware identifier and retransmits the beacon code and a random nonce. The processing system verifies the request based on the beacon code and random nonce and transmits, to the computing device at the location, user account identifiers associated with user computing devices that retransmitted the beacon code. Within a threshold period of time, the processing system may verify a subsequent request from the computing device, even without receiving the beacon code and random nonce, if the request comprises the hardware identifier.

  • Publication number: 20170255923
    Abstract: A hands-free transaction is processed by utilizing an account management system to authorize a transaction and to provide payment account information to a payment processing system while allowing the transaction settlement to occur between the payment processing system and the merchant. After the account of the user is verified, a POS device generates a payment authorization request based on a user verification and other transaction information. The POS device transmits the payment authorization request to the account management system, and the account management system identifies the user payment data. The account management system receives an authorization from the payment processing system and transmits the payment authorization to the merchant. The merchant salesperson completes the transaction with the user by providing the product or service being purchased. The payment processing system and the merchant system then settle the transaction without involvement of account management system.
