A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving a broadcast signal from a beacon device, the broadcast signal encoding a first credential associated with a first entity. In response to receipt of the broadcast signal, the mobile communication device transmits the received first credential to an authentication system. The authentication system determines if the first entity associated with the broadcast signal is authentic and generates a confirmation message confirming the authenticity of the first entity. The mobile communication device then receives the confirmation message indicating that the first entity is authentic. The mobile communication thereafter receives and transmits a second credential for the mobile communication device to the beacon device, which transmits the second credential to the authentication system. The authentication system then confirms the authenticity of the mobile communication device. Then, the beacon device can initiate an interaction process with the user of the mobile communication device.

A computer-implemented method of authenticating the identity of a user is provided, where the user is associated with a computer signature and is in possession of a cell phone. The method involves obtaining a current geographical location of the cell phone, determining if the computer signature is associated in a database with a stored geographical location of the phone, and, if the computer signature is associated in the database with a stored geographical location, comparing the stored geographical location to the current geographical location of the phone.

Methods for smartglasses-to-smartglasses payment systems is provided. Methods include receiving a transfer of funds initiation at a first smartglasses. The transfer of funds initiation may include an identifier, an amount and a personal identification number (“PIN”). Methods include transmitting the transfer of funds initiation from the first smartglasses to a second smartglasses. Methods may include receiving a notification on the second smartglasses. The notification may include a first smartglasses telephone number and the transfer of funds initiation. Methods may include transmitting a transfer of funds request from the second smartglasses to an entity. The transfer of funds request may include the first smartglasses telephone number, the transfer of funds initiation and the second smartglasses telephone number. Methods may include retrieving a first account and a second account from the entity. Methods may include transferring funds from the first account to the second account.

A computer software application (APP) is programmed into a smartphone. The smartphone allows a user to access various concessions and facilitate ordering items such as food, beverages, souvenirs, and memorabilia. The APP allows the user to input their seat location so the vendor can locate the user to deliver what has been ordered. The APP includes information concerning the user. The concessionaires all have a communication device allowing them to receive orders from users and to fulfill them.

This invention discloses a novel system and method for distributing electronic ticketing such that the ticket is verified at the entrance to venues by means of an animation or other human perceptible verifying visual object that is selected by the venue for the specific event. Tins removes the need to use a bar-code scanner on an LCD display of a cell phone or other device and speeds up the rate at which human ticket takers can verify ticket holders.

A multi-function transaction card may include a card body having dimensions that are in accordance with a standard for transaction cards, an output device on the card body, and a secure element within the card body. The multi-function transaction card may pair, via a wireless connection, the multi-function transaction card with a terminal. The multi-function transaction card may receive, from the terminal, information associated with a transaction. The multi-function transaction card may generate, based on the information associated with the transaction, and using a cryptographic key, an authorization request cryptogram (ARQC), wherein the cryptographic key is stored in the secure element. The multi-function transaction card may generate, based on the ARQC, a machine-readable code. The multi-function transaction card may display, using the output device, the machine-readable code.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing near field communications during a low power management mode of an electronic device are provided that may make credentials of a near field communication (“NFC”) component appropriately secure and appropriately accessible while also limiting the power consumption of the NFC component and of other components of the electronic device.

A method and a device for making available electric charge in order to charge an electronic card including a near-field communication module by way of a terminal. The terminal has what is known as a reader mode in which it is able to supply power to the card in near-field mode and receive data from the card. The method includes the following steps, on the terminal, set to reader mode, so as to generate an electromagnetic field able to charge such an electronic card: initializing the communication between the terminal and the card; receiving a message from the card, the message containing at least one datum telling the terminal that it should maintain the electric charge; and maintaining the electric charge while remaining in reader mode.

Timely and optimal user completion of pre-staged transactions is implemented by ultra-wideband (UWB) enabled devices at UWB-enabled ATMs. ATM information, transaction scheduling and user prioritization, transaction notifications, and/or haptic-feedback reminders are provided based on one or more real-time and/or predicted geographical locations and proximities, ATM-specific queue wait times, preference scores, historical usage, ATM resources, and/or other relevant data or preferences.

A device detection system is configured to determine whether a device is located within a venue. The device detection system detects pings from the device to determine whether the device is located within the venue. The device detection system receives point-of-sale data for a transaction from an entity associated with the venue. The point-of-sale data may be compared to data describing the detected device to determine whether the transaction was conducted by a customer associated with the detected device. The device detection system may correlate the point-of-sale data with content that was viewed by the customer to determine whether the content resulted in the customer visiting a venue and making purchases at the venue.
