A system includes a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium coupled to the processor. The non-transitory computer readable medium includes code, that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to receive input from a user of a user device to generate an optimal payment location on an application display, generate a first boundary of the optimal payment location on the application display of the user device based upon a first motion of a payment enabled card in a first direction and generate a second boundary of the optimal payment location on the application display of the user device based upon a second motion of the payment enabled card in a second direction. The first boundary and the second boundary combine to form defining edges of the optimal payment location.

In online payment using the URL&CC, the routes of the payment request process and the user confirmation process are different and the order of these can be changed. (Payment method 1) Payment method 1 first requests payment by using the URL&CC's CCI path, and confirms the user by using the URL&CC's URL path and the user's URL PWD path. (Payment method 2) Payment method 2 confirms the user by using the URL&CC's URL path and the user's URL PWD path, and requests the payment by using the URL&CC's CCI path.

One embodiment of the invention provides for making electronic payments by scanning a merchant 2D code located near the point of sale with the customer's cell phone and transmitting the code or data embodied by the code to a payment center where the merchant's account can be credited and the customer's account debited without transmitting account information over the airwaves. In another embodiment of the invention, both parties transmit the same randomly generated 2D code or data embodied by the code to the payment center where they are matched to each other and to the buyer and seller to process the transaction. In a further embodiment of the invention, an inked tattoo or barcode marking is employed as a password to authorize access to smartphone applications for example, to make an electronic payment over a threshold amount.

A card reader includes a digital connector such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) plug or an Apple® Lightning® plug. The digital connector includes a corresponding connector interface, which provides voltage to at least a card reader interface and an integrated circuit (IC) of the card reader. The card reader interface outputs an analog transaction information signal upon reading the card. The IC generates a digital version of the analog transaction information signal, encrypts the digital version, converts that into an analog audio signal. The audio signal can then be sent to the connector interface, which converts it into a digital signal such as a USB or Apple® Lightning® signal that is sent by the digital connector to a mobile device. Alternately, the audio signal can be sent to a microcontroller that converts the audio signal to a digital format such as USB, and then to the digital connector.

Provided is an app push system for collecting offline payment details. The app push system includes a payment company server configured to receive offline payment information of a user from a payment terminal and perform payment processing, an app server configured to receive payment card identification information and seller information from the payment company server, and a user terminal configured to receive an app push message from the app server.

Various embodiments are generally directed to enhancing a card activation experience for an authorized card user when activating a new card by at least displaying various types of information related to the new card in augmented reality (AR) and allowing the user to perform the activation itself or experience other aspects of the activation process in AR. Information pertaining the successful activation of the card may also be provided to the user in AR.

A method includes a data processing computer receiving an authorization request message comprising a user device identifier, addition method data, and an amount for an interaction from a network processing computer. The network processing puter determined the user device identifier from a token associated with a first interaction type of a plurality of interaction types associated with a plurality of tokens. The data processing computer can then determine whether or not the user device identifier matches a stored user device identifier. If the user device identifier matches the stored user device identifier. then the data processing computer can further process the interaction using the user device identifier and the addition method data.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions causing a processor to generate a menu displaying representations of a plurality of cards, the cards having associated card data; receive, from a user input device, a selection corresponding to a selected one of the cards; update the menu to display a representation of the selection; and authorize transmission of the card data associated with the selected card to complete a transaction.

Embodiments discussed herein are generally directed to systems, devices, methods, and techniques to perform authentication and payment operations with a contactless card to provide items and services.

A system to indicate to a user to enter a personal identification number (PIN) on a commercial off the shelf (COTS) device, the system comprising: a secure card reader communicatively coupled to the COTS device, and wherein the secure card reader receives a payment card; a payment application installed on the COTS device; and one or more devices other than the COTS device. The payment application installed on the COTS device transmits one or more prompts to the one or more devices other than the COTS device based on a set of signals received from the secure card reader. The secure card reader transmits the set of signals after the payment card is received at the secure card reader, and the one or more prompts comprise at least one indication to the user to enter the PIN on a display of the COTS device.
