  • Publication number: 20240020709
    Abstract: A system and method for tiered pricing for any scarce commodity, such as petroleum products or food stuffs, may be used to ration the scarce commodity. The system and method may use a dual currency transaction system to manage the rationing. In the use case for gas or oil as the scarce commodity, the dual currency system and method and the tiered pricing may also reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere by charging both a monetary price and a carbon price for a product or service wherein the carbon price for each purchasable item (good or service) may correspond to a number of Kg of Co2 emitted by the manufacture/sale/use of the purchasable item.

  • Publication number: 20230024145
    Abstract: A system and method for settling monetary and quota-allocated dual currency transactions may be used to reduce Co2 emissions. Each purchasable item (product or service) in the system may have a monetary price and a Carbon price whose value corresponds to a number of Kg of Co2 emitted by the manufacture/sale/use of the purchasable item. The system and method individualizes the reduction of Co2 emissions and allows each consumer to choose purchasable items in part based on the Carbon price.

  • Patent number: 11510054
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to providing authentication of access while reducing user input and, specifically to a method, apparatus, and computer program product for receiving device identification information from both a secured system indicating devices with authorization and from a third party telecommunications carrier indicating the mobile device account attempting to access a service provider. Embodiments provided include an apparatus configured to receive, from a mobile device, identification information associated with the mobile device. The apparatus further comprises computing an encrypted hash of the identification information and initiating a search of a registry for a matching entry that matches the encrypted hash of the identification.

  • Publication number: 20220191194
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for using identity-linked device information for user identification and transaction personalization via mobile tagging, for example validating user identity and providing a user identifier and user information for transaction personalization. A user identification and personalization system may be provided to receive an electronic data transmission, from a user device over a carrier network, indicative of prior execution of an access link having been detected and decoded from a decodable visual representation. The transmission may include identity-linked device information injected by a carrier device via a header enrichment process. The system may further determine a user identifier based on the identity-linked device information, and transmit, to the user device for forwarding to a service provider device, an authentication indication including the user identifier.
