Description

Apparatus, system and method for data processing

The disclosure relates to a data processing apparatus, system and method, such as a device, system and method operable in the field of electronic transactions, such as electronic devices, such as mobile devices, server devices, wireless beacons, and other related devices. Trading with the system's electronic payments.

Despite the considerable development in electronic payment technology, users still face considerable challenges. Various electronic tools can be used to help users retrieve information about products via their electronic devices, such as mobile phones, and/or incite payment transactions, but customers still have to navigate the mobile website, connect to the local communication network, and enter the relevant finances. Information, and/or other actions, can be difficult on a small screen of a typical smart phone to perform purchases. There is a need for a solution that can enable a user to purchase an item directly in a very simplified interaction with the electronic device.

The system used to perform the transaction can display a machine identifiable tag, such as a QR code, on the computer. The machine identifiable tag can be read by an electronic device, such as a smart phone executing a QR code reader application, to initiate a transaction. In this system, the label can be displayed adjacent to the product on the website providing the goods for sale. When the user scans the tag using an electronic device logged in with the user's details, the goods can be purchased by the user without the user having to enter further details such as their name, address, Credit card number and expiration date, etc.

Each machine identifiable tag can be stored in memory as a configuration, such as an image, which is then used at the appropriate time to cause the tag to be output, for example, displayed on a computer screen. Each tag contains unique information such as product code, time and date, or another piece of information that can be used to identify the product and/or the transaction to be executed. When the machine identifiable tag is scanned by the electronic device, the unique asset associated with the tag The message was used to identify the product. A transaction such as the purchase of goods can then be carried out.

Once this transaction is initiated, the user of the electronic device can make sure that the transaction is proceeding correctly, as the normal way of conducting a transaction such as online shopping requires that the information be entered into the website, whereby the goods will be purchased.

A machine identifiable code such as a QR code is also not a user of a uniform standard. For users of this unified standard, the QR code appears roughly as a distorted image, and its significance cannot be understood. When a device with specialized software is required to read the code, it becomes inconspicuous to the user of the unified standard. Thus, there is a need for more intuitive machine identifiable labels, and for labels that do not confuse users of the uniform standard, which allows the user to better understand how to obtain the information contained therein.

When a machine identifiable tag is also generated and stored in the memory, it must be retained in the memory so that it can be accessed when the transaction is initiated. This requires a large database, which therefore has a very slow search time for the machine identifiable tag.

Contains information such as product information, product identifiers, product quantities, URLs where the machine's identifiable labels are located, user information including billing and payment information, and delivery or shipping information about the transaction itself. Labels also present a security risk. This information can be intercepted by shameless people.

Also used in systems that function safely, only electronic devices that have been authenticated and logged in in a secure manner should be allowed to participate in the transaction. Without such an authentication system, any device, or many devices capable of initiating a transaction, can bombard the system, which can result in unwanted system strain.

An electronic price tag exists that displays the current purchase price of the item being offered for sale. For example, in a particular location, such as a store, next to each item being offered for sale, the electronic price tag can be located adjacent to one or more or a group of the items and constructed to display the item on an electronic display. price. The price tag can be instantly updated by the central location at the current price of the item. This can be done with a price tag that is linked to the central server via a wired or wireless connection. At present, it is impossible to make purchases via the electronic price tag. The price tag is only a basic display device that receives and displays the current price of the item.

Users such as communication devices, electronic devices such as mobile phones, smart phones, tablet devices, etc., are now able to purchase goods via such devices using a web browser on the device or via a dedicated application. In this scenario, the entire transaction is directed and controlled via the electronic device.

It would be desirable to be able to purchase goods in the presence of goods, whereby such goods use electronic price tags and initiate the transaction via electronic devices, such as communication devices, such as mobile phones, smart phones, tablet devices, etc. .

Again, once the transaction is initiated, the user of the electronic device may be unsure that the transaction is proceeding correctly, so it would be desirable to provide further confirmation that the transaction is ongoing or completed.

Methods, devices, and systems are disclosed herein that enable a user to purchase items directly with minimal interaction with the user's electronic devices and/or other devices, servers, and systems disclosed herein. . For example, a single or reduced number of actions can be initiated by the user, such as when viewing items in the camera of the mobile device.

FIG. 1 depicts a system 100 for performing transactions using machine identifiable tags. The electronic device 702 is in communication with the tag server 708, such as two-way communication. The electronic device can be a mobile phone, such as a smart phone, a handheld computer, an MP3 player, a tablet, or any other device suitable for identifying and interpreting machine identifiable labels. Reference is made herein to "identifiable". However, the words "recognizable" and "readable" can be used interchangeably herein. The electronic device is logged in with the tag server such that user information, such as name, address, credit card number, and/or expiration date, is associated with the electronic device. And stored in the memory associated with the tag server. Tag output device 710 is configured to display the machine identifiable tag 704 on display 712 or otherwise output the machine identifiable tag. The tag output device can be an electronic processing device having a display, such as a computer, which can be a built-in display or a separate display connected to the electronic processing device, poster, television or any other mechanism for output machine identifiable label. The tag server can, but does not necessarily, be in two-way communication with the tag output device, for example, to generate a tag upon request by a device that can be output on the device. The tag server is in communication with the transaction server 718, such as two-way communication, which is configured to perform the identification of the electronically identifiable tag by the electronic device upon verification by the tag server of the transaction. transaction.

Web server 720 can be used to provide a plurality of web pages, such as web pages for implementing an online shopping portal, to the tag output device. The web page can be displayed on the display. When the web page of the plurality of web pages, such as a product purchase page, a checkout page, a shopping cart page, etc., is accessed by the web server via the label output device, the label can be Requested directly by the tag server. The tag can be requested by the tag output device using a client processing component, such as a client script, such as JavaScript or the like. The client processing component is embedded in the tagged web page and then received and processed by the tag output device such that the tag output is based on information associated with the tagged web page, such as product identification information. The device can directly generate and send a request for the tag to the tag server by the tag output device. The tag output device can then receive the tag directly from the tag server and cause it to be displayed within the displayed tagged web page.

In the specific aspect described above and in FIGS. 1 and 7 (see below), the tag output device communicates directly with the tag server, such as two-way communication, and the tag server does not communicate with the web server at all. . This particular aspect reduces the processing burden on the web server and provides enhanced security for tag generation and processing.

In a particular aspect (not depicted), the web server is in direct communication with, for example, two-way communication with a tag server for client request, processing, and presentation of the tag. This is another option for a tag output device that requests the tag directly from the tag server, in this case, when the tagged web page is generated, the web page servo The tag can be requested by the tag server. This specific aspect provides faster processing of the tag request, but the security of the tag processing is reduced.

The communication between the device, the tag and the tag, the transaction and the web server may be by any suitable mechanism for connecting the device/server, such as wired or wireless communication, such as through a network, such as a regional network (LAN) ), or a wide area network (WAN), such as the Internet. Communication between any given pair or all of such devices may be secure, such as being encrypted, such as through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

2 is a flow diagram 800 depicting a method of using a machine identifiable tag to initiate a transaction. At step 802, the electronic device identifies and interprets a machine identifiable tag, such as a QR code or another machine readable code, such as a bar code, that can be displayed on the tagged web page. The electronic device can detect the machine identifiable tag by scanning the QR code for any mechanism that is appropriate for the tag, such as using a built-in camera. The machine identifiable tag can be displayed on a tagged web page in the web browser that is contiguous with or otherwise visually associated with the product, the product being sold through the web page. Of course, the machine identifiable tag can be displayed on any user interface that can be generated and displayed by the tag output device and thereby read by the electronic device.

At step 804, once the machine identifiable tag has been interpreted, for example, by the electronic device, the electronic device communicates with the tag server to query the memory of the tag server for association with the tag. Unique information. If the machine identifiable tag is associated with a product for sale, the unique information can be a stock quantity unit (SKU) or another piece of information that uniquely identifies the product for sale.

At step 808, transaction information is transmitted by the tag server to the transaction server. The transaction information includes the unique information identified in the steps. The transaction server can be an e-commerce server for an online shopping website. Information about the user of the electronic device and/or information about the electronic device itself may also be stored on the tag server, and the identification in response to the machine identifiable tag is transmitted to the transaction servo by the electronic device Device. Information about the user may include e-procurement information such as payment details, such as credit card or debit card details.

At step 810, the transaction is performed by the transaction server. The transaction information, and optionally information about the user of the electronic device and/or information about the electronic device itself, is sent by the tag server to the transaction server. Alternatively, the transaction information, information about the user of the electronic device, and/or information about the electronic device itself may be transmitted by the tag server to the web server, for example via the tag output device or directly Via the web server. The web server can then communicate with the transaction server to conduct the transaction.

At step 804, the tag server can also communicate with the tag output device to display information that the transaction is being processed. For example, if the machine recognizes that the tag is a QR code displayed in a web browser, the browser can update its output to display some indication that the transaction is being processed. The tag server can also communicate with the electronic device to cause the electronic device to display a processing indication on the display of the electronic device.

At step 810, a confirmation message can be transmitted by the transaction server to the tag server. The tag server can communicate with the electronic device to enable the electronic device to display confirmation information on the display of the electronic device. The tag server can also communicate with the tag output device to cause the device to display or otherwise output a confirmation message.

Figure 3A depicts an example of a machine identifiable tag that can be used in a particular aspect. The label in a specific aspect may be a QR code 902, which may be displayed on a poster, an electronic image display such as a tablet, a laptop, a mobile phone, an MP3 player by a label output device such as a web browser. On the device, or any other suitable medium. Once the QR code is scanned by the electronic device, the processing indications depicted in Figure 3B can be displayed. The swiveled animation 904 can be used to indicate that the transaction is being processed. Any other suitable animation or indication being processed by the transaction may be used alternatively or additionally. A personalization/verification 908 information relating to or indicating to the user of the electronic device or to the electronic device itself can be displayed. Once the transaction server has completed the transaction, the tag server can communicate a confirmation message to the tag output device, which can cause the display output, such as that depicted in Figure 3C, to be displayed. The machine identifiable tag can be provided in a variety of ways. For example, a transmission from a beacon station, such as a broadcast from Bluetooth or Bluetooth low energy Bluetooth, or a Bluetooth smart beacon station can be used to trigger the same process, which is triggered when the QR code 902 is detected. The beacon broadcast can be unique to the information in the memory of the tag server. Association. The device that detects the beacon station sends an indication to the transaction server such that it has detected the beacon broadcast. The server then establishes that the beacon broadcast system is associated with the unique information and begins steps 808 and 810 above. Alternatively, the machine identifiable tag can be an RFID tag, or an NFC tag, or any tag from which unique material can be retrieved.

Figure 4 shows an exemplary output 1000 of the label output device. The demonstration output can be a tagged web page for an online store that allows the user to purchase online goods. The tagged web page is requested by the web server shown in Figure 1 and displayed on the label output device display. The same quantity and size 1008 information and the machine identifiable label also depicted in FIG. 3A, the special product 1004 that the user wishes to purchase is displayed in the labeled web page on the display, the machine identifiable label system The tag depicted in Figure 1, as produced by the tag server. The machine identifiable label can be for the quantity and size selected by the user, or can be directed only to the product. The electronic device recognizes and interprets the machine identifiable tag 1002 and its contents, which thereby cause the method according to FIG. 2 to be performed. The area of the display that the machine can recognize the display on which the tag is displayed can also be updated in accordance with the exemplary output depicted in Figures 3B and 3C.

A similar system is shown in FIG. 5, which includes an electronic device 102 in communication with the authentication server 108, such as two-way communication. The verification server can, but does not necessarily, be in two-way communication with the machine identifiable tag 104, for example for generating a tag upon request by the device, the tag being output on the device. The authentication server is in communication with the transaction server 108, such as two-way communication, which is configured to perform the verification of the electronically identifiable tag by the electronic device upon verification by the verification server of the transaction. transaction. The electronic device can detect the machine identifiable tag by any mechanism suitable for the form of the tag, as further described below. The device, the tag (or the device on which the tag is output), and the communication between the authentication and the transaction server can be any suitable mechanism by connecting the devices/servers, such as wired or wireless communication, for example Through a network, such as a local area network (LAN), or a wide area network (WAN), such as the Internet. Communication between any given pair or all of such devices may be secure, such as being encrypted, such as through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

The electronic device can be constructed to detect and identify the machine identifiable target sign. The tag can take the form of a visually readable code, such as the QR code in Figure 8, or the audio watermark or scent in Figure 6. In all cases, the machine identifiable tag is an indication of the transaction that can be executed at the time of verification. The verification server receives information about the identifiable label of the machine to identify the special transaction and information from the electronic device 1 to identify the device itself and the user of the device. The verification server then passes transaction information, such as payment information, to the transaction server to perform the transaction.

In one embodiment, the machine identifiable label is in the form of a visually readable label, such as a barcode or QR code. The visually readable tag can be generated by the authentication server when requested by the device, the tag being generated on the device. The device can be a client computer containing a display on which the tag is generated, such as in a web page accessed via the client computer. This web page may be a web page containing information about the product to be purchased, which is purchased by the completion of the subsequent verification of the transaction.

In another embodiment, the machine identifiable label can take the form of an odor, that is, the label can be an odor label or an olfactory label. Reference is made herein to "odor". However, the terms "smell" and "smell" may be used interchangeably herein. A scent can be understood as affecting, stimulating, or the nature or quality of what is felt by the sense of smell.

Special odors can be associated with special deals. In this way, the special odor can be provided as an odor label for the machine identifiable label. A machine having a so-called "electronic nose" can detect the particular odor and thereby identify the underlying machine identifiable tag and perform the associated transaction.

"Electronic nose" can take many forms, such as those described in Rock, Frank; Barsan, Nicolae; Weimar, Udo (2008). "Electronic nose: current status and future trends." Chemical Review 108(2): 705-25.

The "electronic nose" is provided by the underlying user sensor that converts chemical information (or special odor) into associated electrical information. Thus, the detection of associated electrical information from the "electronic nose" allows the machine to recognize a machine identifiable tag in the form of a particular scent.

The electronic device can include an "electronic nose" that is configured to detect the odor as a machine identifiable label. The material used to generate the scent label can be used by the device The request is generated by the verification server, and the scent label is generated on the device. The device can be a client computer containing an odor generator, such as when a particular web page is accessed via the client computer. This web page can be a web page containing product information that was purchased at the time of completion of the subsequent verification of the label.

Once the particular odor has been identified by the "electronic nose" of the electronic device, the associated transaction can be performed upon verification, as described herein.

In another embodiment, the machine identifiable tag can take the form of an audio tag within the audio sample. The audio tag can take the form of an audio watermark, which will be understood as an analog or digital signal embedded in the underlying sound wave, as shown in Figure 6, and as described in M. Davarynejad, S. Sedghi, M. .Bahrepour, CWAhn, M.Akbarzadeh, CACoello Coello: "Using Granularity-Based Fitness Approximation, Soft Computing Applications to Detect Hidden Information from Watermarked Signals: From Theory to Practice", Springer, Series : Development in Wisdom and Soft Computing, Volume 58/2009, ISBN 978-3-540-89618-0, pp. 463-472, 2009.

A "listening" machine that can be integrated into an electronic device is capable of detecting digital signals within the sound wave. It will also be appreciated that the watermark can be generated and added to the audio signal using appropriate signal processing techniques before or after it is converted to sound waves.

The electronic device can include a microphone for detecting the sound wave and for identifying the audio watermark as the machine identifiable tag. The data used to generate the audio tag can be generated by the verification server upon request by the device, the audio tag being generated on the device. The device can be a client computer that includes an audio generator, such as when a particular web page is accessed via the client computer. This web page can be a web page containing information about the product that will be purchased upon completion of the subsequent verification of the label.

Once the special audio watermark has been identified by the microphone and signal processing is performed by the electronic device, the associated transaction can be performed upon verification of the tag, as described herein.

Once the audio watermark has been identified by the listening machine using suitable signal processing techniques, the associated transaction can be performed as described above.

Figure 7 depicts a flow chart 300 illustrating a method of verifying a transaction. At step 302, the identification information is associated with the electronic device. Identification information can be private Information such as the user's name, the user's image, the memory name or phrase, or any other information about the user of the electronic device. Alternatively, or additionally, the identification information may be any other information about the electronic device itself, such as a mobile phone number, an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), or any related electronic device. The step of associating the electronic device with the identification information may be part of a login process for a service, an initial configuration of the electronic device, or any suitable method of storing identification information about the user or electronic device. . The association may occur in the memory of the tag server such that when the electronic device transmits the message to the tag server indicating that the device identifiable tag has been identified and interpreted, the tag server accesses the identification associated with the electronic device News. Once the transaction has been initiated, the identification information can be requested by the transaction entity by the server.

At step 304, the transaction can be initiated between the user of the electronic device and the transaction entity using information provided by the transaction entity. In a specific aspect, the transaction begins by interpreting the electronic device with a machine identifiable tag, such as a QR code, displayed on a website provided by the transaction entity, as described in FIG. The website is on a display of a device associated with the transaction entity (eg, a client computer). The machine identifiable tag can be any suitable tag for encoding information, such as those described above or any kind of visually identifiable tag, such as a bar code or QR code. Alternatively, the transaction can be initiated by any other suitable mechanism for data transfer, such as reading alphanumeric codes from the display and entering the alphanumeric code into the electronic device.

At step 308, the identification information can be displayed on a display associated with the transaction entity for verification of the transaction, an example of which is shown in FIG. The display may be associated with the transaction entity by displaying a website, the website being provided by a transaction entity on the client computer, or the display being operable, for example, by the transaction entity and at the transaction entity Under the premise of operation. By displaying the identification information associated with the electronic device on a display associated with the transaction entity, the user of the electronic device can be the correct user for certain transactions that will or are being executed.

Once the identification information has been displayed on the display associated with the transaction entity, the transaction can be performed by communication of the transaction information between the verification server and the transaction server. Upon completion of the transaction, a confirmation message 910 can be displayed on the display associated with the transaction entity, an example of which is shown in FIG.

Once the transaction has been initiated, identification information displayed on the display associated with the transaction entity can also be displayed on the display of the electronic device. Since the identification information can be compared between the display of the electronic device and the display associated with the transaction entity, the user is provided with additional verification of the transaction.

Additionally, after the identification information has been associated with the electronic device, the identification information associated with the electronic device can be stored on the server. Once the transaction has been initiated, the identification information can be requested by the transaction entity by the server.

Figure 8 depicts the output of a display associated with the transaction entity in various steps of the method in accordance with various aspects of the disclosure. The output system QR code 410 described by 402 is displayed on a display associated with a verification server, such as a server, of the transaction entity. In this example, the QR code is displayed on a website provided by the transaction entity. The QR code is scanned by the electronic device, which causes the output of the display to change to the one described at 404. The identification information 412 is displayed via the user terminal on the output of the display associated with the transaction entity, such as a transaction server, to verify the transaction, which will be performed at the time of verification, or being performed. In this particular aspect, the self-rotating picture 408 indicates that verification of the transaction is being performed. Once the verification of the transaction has been performed and/or the transaction has been completed, the confirmation message 414 is displayed in accordance with the output 406.

Once the transaction has been initiated, identification information displayed on the display associated with the transaction entity can also be displayed on the display of the electronic device. Figure 9 depicts the output of the display of the electronic device in various steps of the method in accordance with a particular aspect of the disclosure. Once the transaction has been initiated, such as by beginning the reading of the machine identifiable tag, the electronic device display output 502 displays the identification information 504, which is displayed on the display of the electronic device. Once the transaction has been completed, display output 508 displays a confirmation message that is displayed on the display of the electronic device. Since the identification information can be compared between the display of the electronic device and the display associated with the transaction entity, the user is provided with additional verification of the transaction.

Figure 10 depicts components of apparatus 600 that can be used to display or otherwise output the machine identifiable label. This device is associated with the transaction server (eg, connected to the transaction server). The device includes a computer 602 that includes a memory 604 and processing circuitry 608. The computer can be communicatively coupled to display 610, such as A visual machine identifiable label of bar code or QR code is output on the display. Additionally or alternatively, the computer may be communicatively coupled to another input/output mechanism 612 for outputting other forms of machine identifiable labels as disclosed herein, such as speakers for generating audio labels. Or an odor generator for generating an odor label. The device is also suitable for providing the electronic device itself, and is generally suitable for providing the verification and transaction server in a general form. The processing circuitry is constructed with the computer executable code stored in the memory to perform the steps of the method, as disclosed herein.

Figure 11 depicts a system 2300 (similar to the system illustrated in Figures 1 and 5) for performing transactions using machine identifiable tags. The electronic device 2302 is in communication with the tag server 2308, for example, in two-way communication. The electronic device can be a mobile phone such as a smart phone, a handheld computer, an MP3 player, a tablet or any other device suitable for recognizing and interpreting machine identifiable tags. The electronic device is logged in with the tag server such that user information, such as a name, an address, a credit card number, and/or an expiration date, are associated with the electronic device and are stored in a memory associated with the tag server. in. Tag output device 2312 is configured to output the machine identifiable tag 2304 via the tag output component (see Figures 12 and 13 below). The tag output device can be an electronic processing device, such as a computer having a display 2314 (see below), which can be a built-in display or a separate display connected to the electronic processing device, poster, television, or other mechanism for The output machine recognizes the label. The tag server can, but does not necessarily, be in two-way communication with the tag output device, such as for generating the tag upon request by a device, the tag being outputtable on the device. The tag server is in communication with the transaction server 2310, such as two-way communication, which is configured to perform the verification by the tag server of the transaction by the electronic device passing through the tag identification of the transaction. transaction.

The machine identifiable tag can take different forms in accordance with the present disclosure. In general, the machine identifiable tag cannot be a tag that is visually identifiable or via radio frequency detection, depending on the particular aspect presented below. Labels in accordance with the present disclosure may be non-visual and/or non-radio frequency machine identifiable labels, such as audio labels and/or scent labels.

Web server 2318 can be used to provide a plurality of web pages, such as web pages for implementing an online shopping portal, to the tag output device. The web page can be displayed on the display. When one of the plurality of web pages is tagged, such as a product When the purchase page, the checkout page, the shopping cart page, etc. are accessed by the web server via the tag output device, the tag can be directly requested by the tag server by the tag output device. The tag can be requested by the tag output device using a client processing component, such as a client script, such as JavaScript or the like. The client processing component is embedded in the tagged web page and then received and processed by the tag output device such that the tag output is based on information associated with the tagged web page, such as product identification information. The device can directly generate and send a request for the tag to the tag server by the tag output device. The tag output device can then receive the tag directly from the tag server and cause it to be output against the displayed tagged web page.

Figure 12 shows an exemplary output from the tag output device when the tag is an audio tag 704. The exemplary output is a video output 1100 displayed on a display, such as a movie, an advertisement, a television broadcast, an internet video stream, and the like. The video output may be a video stream that is supplied to the tag output device by the web server of FIG. 11 or another server-based device, or received via a broadcast. The special product 1104 that the user may wish to purchase is displayed in the video output on display 712. The audio tag can be output for the product and only if the product 1102 is displayed within the video output, and will vary depending on the product being displayed. The audio tag can be contained within the video stream itself, or alternatively, the audio tag can be separately generated, for example, by the tag output device itself, and outputted in close proximity to the video output. When the user is viewing the video output, the electronic device 702 can be used to recognize and interpret the audio tag and its content, which is thereby performed in accordance with the methods of FIGS. 2 and 7.

Figure 13 shows an exemplary output from the tag output device when the tag 704 is an odor tag. The exemplary output is displayed on an image output 1200 on display 712, which may be a static display, such as an electronic billboard, where the image output is an advertisement. The image output can be supplied to the label output device as a video stream containing a plurality of images to be displayed. The image output or stream can be transmitted by the web server of FIG. 11 or another server-based device, or via a broadcast. The special product 1202 that the user may wish to purchase is displayed in the image output on the display. The scent label can be output for the product and only when the product is displayed in the video output, and depending on the displayed product, for example, in the video stream The ad loop on the display. . The material used to generate the scent label may be transmitted to the label output device alongside the image stream itself, or another option for generating the scent label may be generated separately, such as by the label output device itself. And output next to the image output. When the user views the image output, the electronic device 702 can be used to recognize and interpret the scent label and its contents, which is thereby performed according to the methods of FIGS. 2 and 7.

Figure 14 depicts a specific aspect of an assembly 1300 for outputting a label that can be used to display or otherwise output the machine identifiable label. The tag output device depicted in Figure 11 can include one or more or all of the components of the system 1300 for outputting tags. This system communicates with the transaction server, such as two-way communication. Communication between the system and the transaction server can be performed via a web server. The device can be a tag server and communicate, such as two-way communication. The device includes a computer 1302 that includes a memory 1304 and processing circuitry 1308. The computer can be communicatively coupled to display 1310, which can display information associated with the tag, such as product information. In addition, the computer is communicatively coupled to the tag output component 1312 for outputting various forms of machine identifiable tags, particularly non-visual and non-radio machine identifiable tags, such as: (i) audio tags, in this case, The label output component can be a horn; or (ii) an odor label, in this case the odor generator (see below). The device is also suitable for providing the electronic device itself, and in a general form, the computer is suitable for providing the tag and the transaction server. The processing circuitry is constructed with the computer executable code stored in the memory to cause the tag output component to generate non-visual and non-radio machine identifiable tags, such as audio or scent tags, such as can be displayed on Next to the product information on the display.

Referring to Figure 15, the audio tag can take the form of an audio watermark that can be understood as an analog or digital signal embedded within the underlying audio signal. As will be appreciated in the art, the audio signal can be represented as an amplitude that varies over time, or in other words is represented in the time domain 1402. Figure 15 is a representation of the audio samples output by the tag output device in the time domain. The horizontal axis 1404 represents time, whereas the upright axis 1408 represents amplitude.

The tag server is constructed to produce an audio tag 1410 that can be embedded in an underlying audio signal, such as an audio and/or video stream that already exists The time domain representation of the transmitted audio signal, or broadcast audio signal, such as a radio or internet audio stream. In this example, the audio tag is represented by a series of points in the time domain representation of the audio signal below. It will be appreciated that a larger or lesser number of points can be used to provide the audio tag. It will also be appreciated that the points may be separated periodically or aperiodically. Alternatively, the audio tag can be repeated periodically. These individual points can vary from time to time. While the points are shown as being discrete, some of the points may be continuous. At particular times, the points may be slightly varied in the amplitude of the underlying audio signal, which can be detected by an audio detector such as a microphone on the electronic device, and together represent a given audio tag. The configuration, location, and/or version of the point used in the underlying audio signal provides the opportunity to produce a large number of different audio tags, each of which may be associated with a different product. The points are inserted into the underlying audio signal in such a manner that they cannot be detected or perceived by the human ear individually or in combination, but can be detected by an audio detector on the electronic device.

It will also be appreciated that the audio tag can be provided in the frequency domain. For example, a series of discrete frequencies having any of the associated amplitudes and/or phases can be used to provide the audio tag. This signal can be embedded in the frequency domain representation of the audio samples on the output device.

In various embodiments, the tag server can receive the underlying audio signal, such as by a web server, such as an audio signal within the video stream (discussed above), and then, for example, in an integrated video Before the entire combined audio signal is transmitted to the tag output device in the stream, the audio tag is multiplexed onto the underlying audio signal for the audio tag and its corresponding audio (and video) Streaming, if rendered) output. The audio signals received by the tag server may be audio and/or video streams associated with a particular product, such as special audio or video advertisements, movies, radio broadcasts, and the like.

In another embodiment, the tag server can generate audio tag data, including information indicating the audio tag itself and corresponding synchronization data, the synchronization data is used to make the information indicating the audio tag and The audio signals are associated and/or synchronized, and the underlying audio signals are received separately at the tag output device. In this regard, the tag server stores data and corresponding information indicating the audio tag itself. Synchronization data for special audio and/or video streams, such as audio or video streams associated with special products, such as special audio or video advertisements, movies, radio broadcasts, etc. . The audio tag data is transmitted to the tag output device, which is then based on the data indicating the audio tag itself and the corresponding synchronic data, in an audio signal below, such as an audio signal in the video stream (once The audio tag is generated on the discussion, and the underlying audio signal is received separately, for example by a web server. Thus, in this particular aspect, prior to outputting the multiplexed signal, such as next to the video output, the tag output device multiplexes the audio tag onto the underlying audio signal.

In principle, any mechanism that embeds an audio tag can be adopted, such as described in M. Davarynejad, S. Sedghi, M. Bahrepour, CWAhn, M. Akbarzadeh, CA Coello Coello: "Using particle size based fitness approximation, Soft computing applications detect hidden information with watermarked signals: from theory to practice", Springer, Series: Developments in Wisdom and Soft Computing, Volume 58/2009, ISBN 978-3- 540-89618-0, pp. 463-472, 2009, which is incorporated herein by reference.

To some extent, it will be understood that the audio tag is provided, and how the audio sample below will "sound" to the user will not change. In other words, the presence of the audio tag is not apparent to the human ear. Regardless of how the audio tag is provided, it will be understood that the purpose of the audio tag is to establish a watermark that can be identified for processing transactions.

A listening device that can be integrated into an electronic device is capable of detecting an audio tag within the time domain representation of the underlying audio sample. The listening machine is capable of "looking" for a particular amplitude and/or frequency at different times during processing of the received audio signal. The detection of a predefined series of amplitudes and/or frequencies in a particular sequence and/or at particular times may be an indication of the underlying audio tag.

The electronic device can include an audio detector, such as a microphone, for detecting a time domain representation of the underlying audio sample, and thus for identifying the audio tag as the machine identifiable tag.

Once the special audio watermark has been recognized by the microphone, and By performing signal processing by the electronic device, the associated transaction system for the identified product is performed as described above.

Referring to Figure 16, the label may also be provided via an odor, i.e. the label may be an odor label or an olfactory label. Reference is made herein to "smell". However, the terms "smell" and "smell" may be used interchangeably herein. A scent can be understood as affecting, stimulating, or the nature or quality of what is felt by the sense of smell.

Special odors can be associated with special deals. In this way, the special odor can be provided as an odor label for the machine identifiable label. A machine having a so-called electronic nose can detect the particular odor and thereby identify the underlying machine identifiable label and perform related transactions for the product indicated by the label. The electronic device can include an electronic nose that is configured to detect an odor as a machine identifiable label. The data used to generate the scent label can be generated by the verification server as requested by the device, and the scent label is generated on the device.

Figure 16 depicts an odor generating device 1500 that can be used to generate an odor label. The device can output components for the tag. The scent generating device comprises a plurality of odors 1502. Each of the plurality of odors is a fluid or gas that provides a known chemical composition of a particular odor. Each of the plurality of odors is isolated from each other by any suitable mechanism, such as a cassette, an air bag, or a capsule contained within the mechanism. Each of these mechanisms can be removable or replaceable within the scent generating device 600. Each of the plurality of odors contains a different scent, in the sense that the odors can be distinguished from each other by the electronic nose. Thus, when requested by the label server to produce a label having a defined odor (eg, formed by one or a combination of odors), the scent generating device can be constructed to release one of the odors Or a combination of any of these odors (in the number of variations of each scent). It will be appreciated that only a portion of the odor can be released, thereby allowing the scent generating device to be reused. Of course, each scent can be replenished at any stage, such as by using a new cassette, balloon, or capsule containing the scent.

Thus, in a particular aspect, each of the plurality of scentes can correspond to an odor label. Each scent label can be detected by the electronic nose. With respect to Figure 13 above, one of the plurality of scent can be released upon receipt of a request by the tag server, and the first scent tag is thus provided. Thus, the electronic nose energy in the electronic device Detect the associated odor and begin a transaction as described above to purchase the displayed product. Different odors can therefore be used to create a second scent label, as explained above, which can correspond to changes in the displayed product. Thus, the electronic nose in the electronic device can detect the associated odor and begin a transaction as described above to purchase the next product displayed.

However, it will be appreciated that more than one of the plurality of odors can be combined to create a new scent label. In this way, the number of odor labels that can be produced by a limited number of odors is significantly increased. Thus, in a particular amount for simultaneous release, the scent generating device can select more than one of the plurality of odors to produce an odor label. In this implementation, the plurality of odors can be considered as basic odors that act in combination to produce different odors. It will also be known for each scent of the released scent, and the amount of each scent released can be varied. Similarly, for each scent of such released scent, the time at which each scent is released can be varied. Thus, the tag server can provide a digital or analog signal to the scent generating device for release in a particular quantity, which can produce a corresponding different odor by selecting more than one of the plurality of odors, and thus producing an odor label. As such, the number of different scent labels that can be produced by the scent generating device is substantial.

The electronic nose of the electronic device is capable of detecting the different scent labels and thereby enabling the corresponding transaction to begin.

The underlying user of the electronic nose provides a sensor that converts chemical information (or special odor) into associated electrical information. Thus, the associated electrical information detected by the electronic nose allows the machine to recognize a machine identifiable tag in the form of a particular scent.

The device can be a client computer containing an odor generator, such as when a particular web page is accessed via the client computer. This web page can be a web page containing product information that was purchased at the time of completion of the subsequent verification of the label. Once the particular odor has been identified by the electronic nose of the electronic device, the associated transaction can be performed at the time of verification, as described above.

17 is a block diagram of a tag processing system 1600 for providing a machine identifiable tag (similar to a user of the system illustrated by FIGS. 1 and 5) in response to a particular aspect of the disclosure. The label server described in Figure 17 can be Contains one or more or all of the components of the system. The system consists of a secure connection terminator 1604 that communicates with the network 1602, such as two-way communication. The network 1602 can be provided completely or locally within the system, or not at all within the system. Communication between external devices, such as tag output devices, and the system 1600 can also occur using secure data transfer protocols, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS). The secure connection terminator (such as (SSL Terminator or TLS Terminator) can be in communication with a reverse proxy, such as two-way communication. The terminator terminates the secure data connection from the network, enabling the reverse proxy 1608 to The network traffic received by the network interacts. The reverse proxy communicates with the tag generator 1610, such as two-way communication, which can be provided as a web container and communicates with the memory 1612, such as two-way communication. The generator is in communication with the memory, such as two-way communication. The components of the system can be implemented in hardware or software and can exist on the same device or on a plurality of separate devices.

Figure 18 is a flow diagram depicting a method 1700 of generating a machine identifiable tag (similar to the user of the system illustrated in Figures 1 and 5). At step 1702, a request for a machine identifiable tag is received by the requester. A tag processing system 1600 that receives a request for a machine identifiable tag can be the tag server, as shown in FIG. The request for the machine identifiable tag may originate from the tag output device via a communication link with the tag server or may originate from the web server via a communication link with the tag server. The requestor can be the tag output device, such as a web browser running on the tag output device, wherein the machine identifiable tag is displayed, or the web server provides the machine identifiable tag to the client to be displayed browser. In various embodiments, the request for a machine identifiable tag is requested by a client script such as JavaScript located on the web page, the web page being displayed in a web browser on the tag output device. A request for a machine identifiable tag from the requestor may be generated, transmitted by the requestor, or periodically received by the tag processing system, such as approximately one request per millisecond or less, every ten milliseconds or less There is a request, one request every hundred milliseconds or less, one request per second or less, or one request every five seconds or less. By requesting the machine identifiable tag within the aforementioned range, the time is minimized during the expiration tag utilized or displayed by the tag output device. The responsiveness of the machine-identifiable tag update to the indicated changes in the progress of the transaction is also improved.

At step 1704, if the machine identifiable tag is already present in the memory, the method moves to step 1712. If the machine identifiable tag is not already present, the method moves to step 1708.

At step 1708, the machine identifiable tag can be generated by the tag generator. The machine identifiable tag is generated by a defined time-to-live (TTL). After TTL or after TTL, the tag is deleted by the memory, so that the new tag must respond to future machine-recognizable tags by the tag generator. The request was generated.

At step 1710, the machine identifiable tag generated in step 1708 is stored in the memory. In memory, the machine identifiable tag can be associated with one or more items of unique information such as product code, stock quantity unit (SKU), date, time, and location. This information can be used to determine which product to purchase in a transaction, starting with scanning the machine identifiable tag.

At step 1712, the machine identifiable tag is transmitted by the tag processing server to the requestor. Upon receipt of the machine identifiable tag, the requestor can be displayed on the display or otherwise output the machine identifiable tag on the tag output device. In the preferred embodiment, the machine identifiable tag is a scan code, such as a QR code, and is presented on a web page. The web page on which the machine identifiable tag is presented can be displayed on a display in communication with the requester. The web page on which the machine identifiable tag is displayed may be an online shopping web page, and the purchase of the goods may be performed through the web page.

At step 1714, once the machine identifiable tag TTL has expired, the machine identifiable tag is deleted by the memory it stores. The deletion of the tag from the memory can be handled by the memory itself. Alternatively, the management of the memory can be performed by a tag generator. By assigning a TTL to the machine identifiable tag and deleting the tag from memory, once the TTL period has elapsed, the number of unique machine identifiable tags that must be stored in memory is substantially reduced. Machine-recognizable tags that are no longer in use are removed from the memory without any special handling, and after the current TTL of the machine-recognizable tag has expired, the machine-recognizable tag system is still needed. When the request is received by the requester, a new machine identifiable tag is generated.

Figure 19 is a flow diagram depicting a method 1800 for providing a machine identifiable tag (similar to the user of the system illustrated by Figures 1 and 5) in response to a request. At step 1802, the request for the machine identifiable tag is received by the requester. A request for a machine identifiable tag can be received by the tag server, as described in FIG. The requestor can be a requester as described with respect to FIG. 7: the web browser in which the machine identifiable tag is displayed, or a web server that provides the machine identifiable tag to the client web browser to be displayed. In various aspects, the request for a machine identifiable tag is requested by a client script such as JavaScript located on a web page, the web page being displayed in the web browser. A request for a machine identifiable tag from the requestor may be received periodically, such as approximately one request per millisecond, one request every ten milliseconds, one request per hundred milliseconds, one request per second.

At step 1804, it may be determined whether the machine identifiable tag requested in step 1802 is present in the reverse proxy. If so, the machine identifiable tag is transmitted by the reverse proxy to the requestor in step 1808. If the machine identifiable tag is not present in the reverse proxy, the method proceeds to step 1810.

At step 1810, the machine identifiable tag requested in step 1802 is generated at the tag generator and encoded as inline material, such as herein. Inline data such as this is highly cacheable; thus, encoding the machine identifiable tag as inline data allows the machine identifiable tag to be more easily cached in the reverse proxy.

At step 1812, the machine identifiable tag is transmitted to the requestor and the machine identifiable tag is stored in the reverse proxy. When the machine identifiable tag is available in the reverse proxy, by providing the machine identifiable tag from the reverse proxy to the requester, the tag is transmitted to the requester without generating FIG. The described method of machine identifiable labeling is performed without traversing the request of the entire label processing system. This results in the received request for the machine identifiable tag being processed much faster and more efficiently, and reducing network traffic within the tag processing system.

In various embodiments, after receiving the machine identifiable tag, after step 1808 or 1812, the requestor can display the display on the display or otherwise output the machine identifiable tag on the tag output device. In such specific aspects, the machine identifiable tag is a scan code, such as a QR code, and is presented on a web page. The web page on which the machine identifiable tag is displayed may be an online shopping web page, and the purchase of the goods may be performed through the web page.

The method can further include a generating step between steps 1804 and 1810, wherein the machine identifiable label is generated in accordance with the method described with respect to FIG.

The machine identifiable tag can be associated with one or more items of unique information such as product code, stock quantity unit (SKU), date, time, and/or location. This unique information can be used to identify the machine identifiable tag within the reverse proxy or can be used to initiate a transaction when the identifiable tag is recognized and interpreted by the electronic device.

Via the network, if the communication between the requestor and the tag processing system is performed in a secure manner, for example using SSL or TLS, and may additionally be transmitted by the tag generator or reverse proxy via the secure connection terminator The machine recognizes the label. Outgoing network traffic from the tag processing system is then re-encrypted for transmission to the requester via the network.

Step 1810 can additionally include storing the machine identifiable tag generated by the tag generator in the memory of the tag processing system. The resulting machine identifiable tag can also have a defined TTL, after which the machine identifiable tag is removed by the reverse proxy and memory if the machine identifiable tag is stored in memory. The reverse identities and memory deletions of the identifiable tag of the machine can be processed by the memory, the reverse proxy or the tag generator. When the TTL of the identifiable tag of the device is out of date, the memory and the memory are Both reverse proxy delete the machine identifiable tag. Alternatively, the reverse identifiable and memory deletion of the machine identifiable tag can be handled independently by the individual devices. In various embodiments, the association may occur in the memory of the tag server such that when the electronic device transmits a message to the tag server indicating that the device identifiable tag has been identified and interpreted, the tag server accesses Identification information associated with an electronic device. Once the transaction has been initiated, the identification information can be requested by the transaction entity by the server.

In various aspects, the platform can include a machine identifiable tag, such as a QR code. The machine identifiable tag contains material that allows the related transaction to be identified while omitting any material that is sensitive to a security perspective.

As explained above, the tag server is constructed to generate the machine identifiable tag upon request. The tag output device will display or output the requested tag Example. The tag server thus associates an instance of the tag with a request for the tag. Therefore, the tag server can process the transaction by recognizing the association between the tag and the tag request.

This instance can be used in an associated manner to prevent the exchange of security information. In particular, the tag server can generate a tag containing information having a unique identifier associated with an instance of the tag. This unique identifier has the purpose of identifying an instance of the tag and thus identifies the association between the tag and the tag request. When determining this association, the transaction can be processed as described above.

Referring now to Figure 20, there is shown how the systems of Figures 1 and 5 can process 1900 machine identifiable labels that do not contain safety information.

At step 1902, the tag server receives a request by the tag output device (or web server) for the machine identifiable tag for direct request by the tag output device, or indirectly via The request sent by the web server for the web page is displayed or output on the label output device, and the web page is then output via the label output device.

At step 1904, the tag server fulfills the request and provides a tag containing an identifier that is unique to the instance of the tag. In other words, the tag is unique in its instance, and no other identical tags will coexist, such as have been output by the tag server.

It will be appreciated that unique identifiers for instances of the tag can be generated in a number of ways. For example, the identifier can be included in the representative map of the machine identifiable code provided by the QR code. The identifier contained in the label, and thus the machine identifiable label itself does not include one or more or all of the following information, such as: product information, product identifier, number of products, URL at which the machine identifiable label is located , and user information including billing and payment information. This information may be referred to as a specific transaction to be executed or initiated. As a result, the system operates to generate and deliver machine identifiable tags that can be used to process transactions, but at the same time prevent any exchange of information that may be security and/or privacy for the transaction. It is damaging.

At step 1908, the tag output device displays or outputs the tag, the tag containing the unique identifier. At step 1910, the electronic device recognizes that the machine is Identify tags and unique identifiers that are especially embedded in them.

At step 1912, the electronic device sends the unique identifier to the tag server. It will be appreciated that the electronic device can recognize the tag server from which the identifier was sent based on the URL that is also embedded in the machine identifiable tag. In this particular aspect, the URL may also include the unique identifier. Alternatively, the electronic device will know the URL of the tag server from which the unique identifier was sent. In this manner, the electronic device is only required to retrieve the unique identifier from the machine identifiable tag.

Upon receiving the unique identifier at step 1914, the tag server associates the unique identifier with an instance of the machine identifiable tag and is thus associated with a request for the current instance of the machine identifiable tag. In determining the association, in step 1918, the tag server can initiate a transaction as described above, and by sending the data to the transaction server, such as the URL, an instance of the machine identifiable tag occurs (and with the identifier) Relevant) at the URL and the information about the user of the electronic device. In this way, the transmitted data is transmitted to the security data between the tag server and the transaction server. The data embedded in the machine's identifiable tag itself does not contain any information that needs to be secure. Thus, the user of the electronic device can use the electronic device to recognize the machine identifiable tag without knowing the security of the user by knowing that the process of identifying the tag is not compromised.

While the above example is described with respect to the QR code, it will be appreciated that other machine identifiable tags can be generated to include only identifiers such as audio or olfactory (smell) tags that are unique to their instances.

Before the electronic device recognizes the tag to begin the transaction, it can be required to be securely authenticated and logged in first.

The process for secure authentication and registration of the electronic device will be shown in Figure 21 with the particular display assembly shown in Figures 22A, 22B, and 22C, which may be displayed on the display of the tag output device during the authentication process. .

In step 2002, in various embodiments, the label output device presents more to the user by selecting the overlaid item, such as by displaying the text "What is this?" on the display. The machine can identify the information used by the tag. The user is presented with the tag output device to how they can use their electronic device News, to start trading as described above. However, the user must first authenticate and log in electronic devices that they wish to use for this purpose without being logged in. The display output will be updated to provide the user with a selectable item to authenticate and log into the user's electronic device.

In step 2004, when the user selectable item is selected to authenticate the electronic device of the user via the label output device, the display output is updated by the label output device, so that the user is prompted to display the user data. Entering a tag output device that identifies the user, such as at least one or more of the following: the user's name, postal address, email address, phone number, and payment information such as credit card or charge card details. This material is transmitted by the tag output device to a verification device, such as the tag server.

At step 2008, the machine identifiable authentication tag 22701 is presented in the display upon completion of the user inputting the request profile. The machine identifiable authentication tag 22701 includes data indicative of a verification device, such as the tag server, which can send authentication data to the verification device when it has detected and/or identified the machine identifiable identification tag.

It will be appreciated that the machine identifiable identification tag can be simultaneously displayed to the display, prompting the user to enter user data. The electronic device that also interprets the user to be authenticated and logged in via the output will recognize the machine identifiable authentication tag. To this end, the electronic device may use proprietary software, such as software obtained by a downloadable application (app), and once it has been authenticated for subsequent transaction via the electronic device. The indication of where the software can be obtained by the electronic device can also be provided by the machine identifiable authentication tag, a consistent resource addresser such as the dedicated software. The machine identifiable identification tag can also contain data that is downloaded by the electronic device when any suitable non-dedicated software is recognized by the electronic device.

The machine identifiable identification tag includes information indicative of a verification device, such as a tag server, which can send the authentication material to the verification device. The authentication material contains any material unique to the electronic device that allows it to be uniquely identified among a plurality of electronic devices that are accessed and authenticated by the verification device. For example, the authentication data may include one or more of the following: device serial number, IMEI number, and the device. The MAC address, SIM number, device model number, device manufacturer, etc. of the transceiver component. It will be appreciated that one or more of the aforementioned device features can be used together to uniquely identify a particular device.

In step 2010, when the electronic device recognizes the machine identifiable identification tag, the electronic device sends the authentication data to the verification device.

Upon receiving this process, at step 2012, the machine identifiable authentication tag can be updated to present feedback 22703 that the authentication process is in progress.

At step 2014, the verification device, such as a tag server, associates the user profile received at step 2004 with an authentication material unique to the electronic device, such as by placing the electronic device next to the user profile The authentication data of the device is stored in a storage medium of the verification device, such as in a database, such that the user data is associated with the authentication data for lookup during subsequent transaction processing. The electronic device can now be identified by the verification device and/or the tag server as an authenticated and logged electronic device to initiate a transaction, as explained above. Thus, when processing a transaction, when the electronic device is used to subsequently identify the machine identifiable tag, the tag server identifies the electronic device and can determine and/or obtain details of the user associated with the device. .

Conversely, if an unregistered electronic device (ie, an electronic device that has not participated in the above authentication and login process) attempts to identify the tag that the machine can recognize, even if it uses a dedicated software, it will not be able to start the transaction because the verification device There will be no user data associated with it. The verification device can even be constructed to communicate with any unrecognized device before checking whether the electronic device has associated user data.

In step 2016, the user is optionally provided with a confirmation 22705, which is completed.

It will be appreciated that the verification device and the tag server can be completely separate devices, in which case they communicate with each other such that they can exchange user details during processing of the transaction, as explained above.

Thus, it will be appreciated from the above-described process of Figure 21 that only devices that are explicitly bound to the user profile and that have sent the device to the verification device that is unique to the device may begin subsequent transactions.

Figure 23 depicts a system 2100 for performing transactions (similar to Figure 1 and 5 systems). The electronic device 23102 can be in communication with, for example, two-way communication with the machine identifiable tag server 23108. The electronic device can be a mobile phone, such as a smart phone, a handheld computer, an MP3 player, a tablet, or any other device suitable for identifying and interpreting machine identifiable labels. The electronic device is logged in with the tag server, such as user information such as name, address, and payment processing such as bank account, debit card, credit card number, name, security code, billing address, and/or expiration date. The information is associated with the electronic device and is stored in a memory (tag verification device) associated with the tag server. An output device (tag output device) 23112 is constructed to display information about one or more associated products on display 23114, such as price, and/or inventory conditions, and the like. The output device can be a product or item located adjacent to or adjacent to the store to display one or more corresponding prices for the product or item. Additionally, the output device is configured to request a machine identifiable tag 23104 from the tag server for display on the display 23107 or otherwise output the machine identifiable tag. The output device can be an electronic processing device having a display that can be a built-in display or a separate display that is coupled to the electronic processing device. The tag server can, but does not necessarily, be in two-way communication with the output device, for example for generating a tag upon request by a device, the tag being outputtable on the device. The tag server is in communication with the transaction server 2110, such as two-way communication, which is configured to perform the verification by the tag server of the transaction by the electronic device passing through the tag identification of the transaction. transaction.

Product server 23118 can be used to provide the current price for a particular product or item to the output device for display on the display. By the output device on a regular or routine basis (eg, hourly, daily or weekly), or when the output device is commanded by the product server to request the tag, such as immediately following After receiving an instruction by the product server, the tag is directly requested by the tag server. The tag can be requested by the output device using a client processing component, such as a client script, such as JavaScript or the like. The client processing component is an embedded software that is executed on the output device and processed by the output device such that the output device can be generated and directly used by the output device based on information associated with its corresponding product. A request for the tag is sent to the tag server. The output device can then receive the tag directly from the tag server and cause it to be displayed on its display.

The product server stores information about products used in special location A (eg, store, another location) (eg, price and/or inventory information, etc.) and is capable of being located at location A by a given number of output devices This information for display is transmitted, such as based on user instructions sent to the product server. The location A can include a plurality of such output devices, each of which is located adjacent to a group of products and provides information about the products.

Each output device at the location can be in direct communication with the product server, such as two-way communication, and is controllable to thereby receive product information.

In the specific aspect described above and in FIG. 23, the output device can also communicate directly with the tag server, such as two-way communication, and the tag server does not communicate with the product server at all. This specific aspect reduces the processing burden on the server of the product and provides enhanced security for tag generation and processing. However, it is contemplated in another alternative aspect that the product server and tag server can also be in direct communication with the product server, which will be used as received by each output device. A request for the tag is transmitted to the tag server, and each requested tag received by the tag server is sent back to the appropriate output device. This particular aspect provides faster processing of the tag request, but from the user's point of view, the security of the tag processing is reduced. In yet another alternative embodiment, it is contemplated that the product server and tag server can be integrated into a single server device. This specific aspect provides a good compromise between the security of the label and the processing burden. The communication between the device, the tag, the transaction, and the product server can be by any suitable mechanism for connecting the devices/servers, such as wired or wireless communication, such as through a network, such as a local area network (LAN), Or a wide area network (WAN), such as the Internet. Communication between any given pair or all of such devices may be secure, such as being encrypted, such as through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

Figure 24 is a flow diagram depicting a method 24200 of using a machine identifiable tag to initiate a transaction. At step 24202, the user uses the electronic device 23102 to recognize and interpret a machine identifiable tag, such as a machine readable code, such as a Quick Response Code (QR) or barcode, which can be displayed on the display 23107. The tag 104 may have been previously requested by the output device 24105, such as upon request, such as as the user interacts with the output device 23105 (eg, by interaction with the output device 23105) After being detected by the touch display or switch on the device 23105, or automatically sent by the tag server 2310 to the output device. The electronic device 23102 can detect the machine identifiable tag 23104 that is subsequently displayed on the display 107 by any mechanism suitable for the tag 23104, such as using a built-in camera within the device 23102. . The machine identifiable tag 23104 can be displayed on any user interface that can be generated and displayed by the output device 23105 and thereby read by the electronic device 23102.

At step 24204, once the machine identifiable tag 23104 has been interpreted, for example by the electronic device 23102, the electronic device 23102 communicates with the tag server 23106 (tag verification device) to the tag server 23106. Query the unique information associated with the tag in the memory. If the machine identifiable tag 104 is associated with a particular type of item or product for sale, the unique information may be information that uniquely indicates the particular item or product for sale, such as a stock quantity unit (SKU), or unique Another information identifying the type of goods or products or goods or products for sale.

At step 24206, transaction information is transmitted by the tag server 106 to the transaction server 23108. The transaction information includes the unique information identified in step 24204. The transaction server 23108 can be an e-commerce server for an online shopping website. The information about the user of the electronic device 23102 and/or the information about the electronic device 23102 itself may also be stored on the tag server 23106, and the identification in response to the machine identifiable tag 23104 is transmitted by the electronic device 23102. To the transaction server 23106. Information about the user may include e-procurement information, such as payment details, such as credit card or debit card details.

At step 24208, the transaction is performed by the transaction server 23108, the transaction information being sent by the tag server 23106 to the transaction server 23108, and optionally, information about the user of the electronic device 102. And/or information about the electronic device 23102 itself. Alternatively, the transaction information, information about the user of the electronic device 23102, and/or information about the electronic device itself may be transmitted by the tag server 23106 to the product server 109, such as via the output device 105. Or directly by the product server 23109. The product server 109 can then communicate with the transaction server 23108 to conduct the transaction.

At step 24204, the tag server 23106 can also communicate with the output device 23105 to display information that the transaction is being processed, such as by sending a transaction processing message to the output device 23105. Upon receipt, for example, the machine identifiable tag 23104 can update its output to display some indication that the transaction is being processed. The tag server 23106 can also communicate with the electronic device 23102 to cause the electronic device 23102 to display a processing indication on the display of the electronic device.

After step 24208, a confirmation message can be transmitted by the transaction server 23108 to the tag server 23106. The tag server 23106 can be in communication with the electronic device 23102 to enable the electronic device 23102 to display additional transaction information, such as confirmation or failure information, on the display of the electronic device. The tag server 23106 can also be in communication with the output device 23105 to cause the device to display or otherwise output a confirmation message. This confirmation may be stored in location A where the electronic device or product server 23109 is confirmed to be confirmed, which may then be used as a confirmation of product purchase, for partial picking of products from location A, or for delivery to another Location, such as the user's home or work location. This additional transaction information can be generated in response to a transaction completion message or a transaction failure message.

Figure 25A depicts an example of the output of display 23107, which displays product information 25310 and can be used with machine identifiable tag 23104 of the present invention. In one embodiment, the tag 23104 is a QR code 25302 that can be displayed by the output device 23105. Once the QR code is scanned by the electronic device 23102, the processing indication depicted in Figure 25B can be displayed by the output device 23105. The swivel animation 25304 is used to indicate that the transaction is being processed. Any other suitable animation or indication that the transaction is processing may be used alternatively or additionally. Personalization/verification information 25306 relating to or indicating to the user of the electronic device 23102 or to the electronic device 23102 itself can be displayed. This information has been transmitted to the output device 23105 by the tag server 23106. Once the transaction server 23108 has completed the transaction, the tag server 23106 can pass a confirmation message to the output device 23105, which can result in a display output such as that depicted in Figure 25C being displayed.

Figure 26 depicts components of output device 26500 that can be used to display or otherwise output the machine identifiable tag. Output device depicted in Figure 23 23105 can include one or more or all of the components of the device 26500. This device 26500 is associated with the transaction server 23108 via a tag server 23106 (e.g., connected to the transaction server). The device 26500 includes a computer 26502 that includes a memory 26504 and processing circuitry 26506. The computer 26502 can be communicatively coupled to a display 26508 (which is used in the output device 23105 as a display 23107) on which a visual machine identifiable tag 23104, such as a bar code or QR code, is output. Alternatively, or in another alternative, the computer 26502 can be communicatively coupled to another input/output mechanism 26510 for outputting other formed machine identifiable labels. The device 26500 is also suitable for providing the electronic device 23102 itself, and is generally suitable for providing the tag and transaction servers 23106, 23108 in a general form. The processing circuitry 26506 is constructed in conjunction with a computer executable code system stored in memory 26504 to perform the steps of the methods as disclosed herein.

Figure 27 is a flow diagram depicting a method 27600 of verifying a transaction. At step 27602, the identification information (which may be some or all of the identification information discussed above with respect to FIG. 25) is associated with the electronic device 23102. The identification information can be private information, such as the user's name, the user's image, a memory name or phrase, or any other information about the user of the electronic device 23102. Alternatively, or additionally, the identification information may be any other information about the electronic device 23102 itself, such as a mobile phone number, an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), or any related electronic device 23102. The step of associating the electronic device 23102 with the identification information may be part of a login process for a service, an initial configuration of the electronic device 23102, or storing identification information about the user or the electronic device 23102. Any suitable method. The association may occur in the memory of the tag server 23106 such that when the electronic device 23102 transmits the message to the tag server 23106 indicating that the machine identifiable tag 23104 has been identified and interpreted, the tag server 23106 accesses the electronic Device 23102 has associated identification information. Once the transaction has been initiated, the identification information can be requested by the transaction entity by the server.

At step 27604, the transaction begins between the user of the electronic device 23102 and the transaction entity and uses the information provided by the transaction entity. In a preferred embodiment, the transaction begins by interpreting the machine identifiable tag 23104, such as QR code 25302, displayed on display 23107 with the electronic device 23102, such as As depicted in Figure 25A, the machine identifiable tag is provided by the transaction entity on display 26508 of the device associated with the transaction entity 26500 (e.g., a client computer). The machine identifiable tag 23104 can be any suitable tag for encoding information, such as those described above or any type of visually identifiable tag, such as a bar code or QR code. Alternatively, the transaction can be initiated by any other suitable data transfer mechanism, such as reading an alphanumeric code by the display and entering the alphanumeric code into the electronic device 23102.

At step 27606, the identification information 25306 is displayed on the display 23107 of the output device 26500 associated with the transaction entity for verification of the transaction, an example of which is shown in Figure 25B. By displaying the identification information 306 associated with the electronic device 23102 on the display 23107, the user of the electronic device 23102 can determine that the transaction to be performed or is being executed is correct.

Once the identification information 25306 has been displayed on the display 23107, the transaction can be performed by communication of transaction information between the tag server 23106 and the transaction server 23108. Upon completion of the transaction, a confirmation message 25308 can be displayed on the display 23107, an example of which is shown in Figure 25C.

Once the transaction has been initiated, the identification information 25306 displayed on the display 23107 can also be displayed on the display of the electronic device 23102. 28A and 28B depict the output of the display of the electronic device 23102 in accordance with various steps of the method in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. 28A shows the identification information 28702, once the transaction has been initiated, the identification information is displayed on the display of the electronic device 23102, such as after the beginning of the reading and transaction processing of the machine identifiable tag 23104, and Receive the transaction processing message. Figure 28B shows a confirmation message 28704 that is displayed on the display of the electronic device 12302 once the transaction is completed upon receipt of the transaction completion message. Since the identification information can be compared between the display of the electronic device 23102 and the display associated with the transaction entity, the user is provided with additional verification of the transaction.

Merchants and advertisers can also obtain valuable geographic and demographic information about customers, turning viewers into customers and catching repeat customers in the future. The platform also facilitates the turning of advertising into a sales channel that allows customers to purchase directly from print, posters, billboards, real-world ads, and other product configurations. Customers using the platform can benefit from quick purchases after signing in, with click functionality. Customers do not need to log in to each single e-commerce site they view, and they do not need to enter shipping or payment details on most retailer websites. In addition to solving many problems for the convenience of customers, the platform offers many advantages for marketing channels such as brands, agents and developers. For example, in addition to many other technical capabilities disclosed throughout this disclosure, the platform can provide additional benefits to customers and advertisers, such as increased sales opportunities and "interpretable" revenue generating advertisements, with mandatory revenue generation features added to Mobile app.

In various aspects and in Figure 29, the platform may include methods for trading permission. First, the e-commerce platform can be started with at least one server 2202. The login by a plurality of merchants and a plurality of customers can then be accepted 2204, 2208. Additionally, the method can include distributing information from the plurality of merchants to the plurality of customers using machine readable tags 2210. At step 2212, the platform can receive a response from the customer at the at least one server. Additionally, the method can include sending the information to the customer and sending the response 2214. The method can include subsequently transferring the reaction from the customer to the merchant and providing one or more products of interest to the customer 2218.

In various aspects, the platform can utilize machine readable tags to facilitate transactions on each platform. Such tags may be embodied in various forms known in the art, such as, but not limited to, QR codes and bar codes. In various instances, the machine identifiable tag can be characterized by a "wired" or "offline" transaction tag. The characterization of the connection and offline tags does not mean that the customer or user of the code or tag is not connected to the Internet, whereas the characterization is based on the user or customer being able to retrieve or scan the machine. Label the media. In various embodiments, the connection label can be, but is not limited to, via A label scanned by the website, desktop location, or location of the mobile device. Offline tags can be scanned by media such as, but not limited to, television commercials or printed advertisements. Additionally, the machine identifiable tag can be scanned or retrieved via audio, such as when embedded in an audio stream such as a video or radio broadcast. The machine identifiable tag can contain information about a particular product, such as the size, color, manufacturer, and the like of the product. A machine identifiable tag can contain information about a plurality of products. For example, a single machine identifiable tag can represent a number of products of a merchant that appear on a display or poster that supports the tag. The application can parse the tag and associate it with presentation information for the user interface of the application for the mobile device, such as allowing the user to select the product that the user wishes to purchase in the interface. Similarly, labels can be parsed into a single product, but variations in size, color, etc. are allowed.

The configuration of the tags and the acquisition/scanning of such tags may vary depending on the media on which the machine identifiable tags are placed. For example, in various embodiments, the mobile device tag may have a "touch-to-buy" tag, whereas a printed material, such as an advertisement in a magazine, may require the user to use a bar code scanner, or the like, so that the use is embedded in The machine within the ad recognizes the tag. An application on the user's mobile device can identify the "touch-to-buy" information embedded in the tag and present in the interface component (eg, the "buy" button on the touch screen of the mobile phone Image), which allows the order for the item represented by the tag to be initiated by the user's contact. The audio tag may require the customer to launch a dedicated transaction to allow the platform mobile device application to obtain the tag, but also enable the microphone of the mobile device to pick up the audio tag. The mobile device application can have a "buy-and-buy" tag, where the user's command (eg, "buy this product") is transmitted to the speech processing device of the application on the mobile device via the microphone of the mobile device. An order that is otherwise processed in a manner similar to the other specific aspects disclosed herein. In such specific aspects, once the customer has navigated to the "touch buy" or "buy buy" flag, the mobile device application can load product information embedded in the machine identifiable tag, and The course of the transaction is based on the various processes and aspects disclosed herein.

In various aspects, the transaction allows the platform architecture to include a mobile device application for use by the customer. The platform architecture can also include a dedicated platform server Or a dedicated platform server group, as well as corporate dashboards and customer dashboards. Users of merchants can be provided with a unique API key with the API key, which ensures seamless integration with the platform server environment and its own e-commerce environment.

In various aspects, the transaction allows the platform to include several major components. In various aspects, the transaction allows the platform to include the customer's mobile device and customer/business data points. This data point can be a single point for the entry and exit of data for the DMZ or firewall that passes through the platform network. In various aspects, the transaction allows the platform to include machine identifiable tag data caches. This cache may occur in most of the layers of the transaction allowed platform depending on the type of material. In various aspects, the initial communication period for each user may only last for a certain period of time when the user scans the machine for identifiable labels. This data cache can occur on the inside of the server, database, or firewall layer of the transaction allowed platform architecture.

All of the specific aspects herein may require biometric measurement prior to performing the various processes described herein. The device 702, 710, 102, 104, 602, 1300, 2302, 2312, 23102, 23105, 26500 or server 720, 708, 718, 108, 110, 602, 2318, 2308, 2310, 23106, 23108, 23109 or The transaction allowing platform may include biometric measurement authentication, such as a "fingerprint" authentication component, to control or limit the various processes that are associated therewith. In particular, access to each user account on the device and/or server can be restricted such that the access system only authenticates when a valid decision of biometric measurement (eg, fingerprint) authentication is obtained. Corresponding to the user, device or account that has been detected by the device. Such devices may have electronic components for performing such biometric measurement decisions, as further explained below.

The authentication decision may also include determining a valid authentication for a user account or electronic device having corresponding payment information (eg, payment instrument security code, such as CSC; see below) such that when a valid authentication decision has been detected by the device During the measurement, the electronic device only provides the payment instrument security code to the corresponding server in the transaction permission platform.

Moreover, the authentication may also involve requesting a merchant identifiable tag from the merchant from the transaction permitting platform, and a customer/other user and device identifier requesting information. In particular, this functionality may be through the use of a security key and the means for the platform and The unique machine generated IDs of the user are achieved. The transaction allows another major component of the platform to include the creation and delivery of machine identifiable tags, hereinafter referred to as the generation of machine identifiable tags. In various aspects, such tags can be delivered to a requesting device, a merchant's platform, or to an offline source. These offline tags can trigger a request to pull the material directly from the merchant. Such requests may be performed within the Java layer that is copied to the alternate version of the active transaction allowed platform system, while also having a third redundancy layer to ensure that the service is available to each offline source at any time. In various aspects, the transaction allows the platform to include a payment delivery system. In various embodiments, when the user selects the "PayNow" option on the mobile device application (app) interface, the transaction allows the platform to then pull the request into the Java layer, mixing the User's delivery and payment card information and the order information, and send this information to the merchant. The transaction allows the platform to also include encrypted storage components. In various instances, the user and order data can be split into areas that can be seen or encrypted. Sensitive data such as payment card details, user passwords or passcode (authentication) data can be encrypted at any time. In various aspects, the transaction allows the platform to include a merchant dashboard. The merchant dashboard can include a wired dashboard, where the merchant can review metrics about the aggregated user information and how the customer is using the transaction to allow specific information about the platform.

In various aspects, in the disclosure found below, the transaction allows the platform to include the generation of machine identifiable tags known as machine identifiable tags, audio tags, and/or scent tags. Such tags may be deployed in the form of a QR (Rapid Response) code, but are not limited thereto, and the detection thereof is generally known in the art. In various aspects, the machine identifiable tag can take different forms in accordance with the present disclosure. In general, the machine identifiable tag may not necessarily be a tag that is visually identifiable or via radio frequency detection, depending on the particular aspect presented below. Labels in accordance with the present disclosure may be non-visual and/or non-radio machine identifiable labels, such as audio labels and/or scent labels. The machine identifiable tag can have visual elements that are both machine readable and understandable by human observers, such as visual effects, branding elements (eg, design indicia or slogans), meaningful content herein, and the like. The machine identifiable tag may contain information such as the product SKU (inventory unit). The product SKU can be deployed in the transaction tag in the form of JavaScript allowed by the merchant, or if the machine identifiable tag is deployed in offline media "still". The machine identifiable tag may also contain the merchant/store API (application design interface) key to enable the platform to identify and authenticate the merchant's e-commerce platform when the merchant requests the establishment or display of a machine identifiable tag. Similarly, in various aspects, the machine identifiable tag can be deployed in an audio format. In various embodiments, the audio tag can include a 16-bit message or a watermark in the sound waves from the upper and lower ends of the frequency. This message may correspond to a repository entry within the transaction allowed platform for the SKU. The machine identifiable tag can be deployed or embedded by one or more of the various types of tag output devices, as will be referred to below and more particularly as described, and as known to those skilled in the art, such as QR code generation tool, audio tag generation tool, or odor generation technology. As described earlier, machine identifiable labels can be characterized as "offline" or "wired." Offline tags, such as those placed in printed advertisements or audio tags, are static and unchanging for a contraction time. These tags are continually maintained within the database as long as the merchant is actively involved in the transaction with the platform. Users or customers who scan offline or audio tags can use the machine to identify the tag to complete the purchase at any time. In various instances, the wire label can be dynamic. These tags can be generated by the merchant e-commerce platform and are only valid for a specified period of time. After this period, the user or customer may need to renew the connection page and scan the label again to complete the purchase. In various aspects, when a machine identifiable tag is requested, the platform can generate a unique API key for each customer/merchant. The customer/business address can then modify its CSS (hierarchical style sheet) profile to include space for machine identifiable labels on its product display page. The client/business address can then be inserted into the platform Javascript code with the space for the SKU request when the customer subscribes.

In various aspects, the transaction allows the platform to be used to facilitate the platform to allow the transaction process, hereinafter referred to as the machine identifiable tag process. The transaction process can include the deployment of a mobile device application associated with the transaction allowed platform. The application can include a welcome screen, the user can log in to the details from the welcome screen or log in directly to the application if the user is logged in. Each device added by the user to the transaction allowing platform application (app) can be given a unique ID that is added to the account information of the user. The application can be used to facilitate transactions when scanning machine identifiable tags. Once the label has been scanned, the corresponding product information and any other details or changes The number can be displayed to the user. The predetermined delivery address and payment method can also be displayed to the user of the application. The user can then choose to submit an order with payment to the merchant responsible for providing the product. Although the purchase submission is delayed by the transaction allowing platform to the merchant's platform, a screen can be displayed indicating that the order is waiting. Once the order and payment are successful, the "Purchase Completion" screen can be displayed and the purchase order information from the application menu navigation screen can be made available.

In various aspects, the transaction allows the platform to include a user login process. The mobile device application can be used to facilitate the user login process. Upon accessing the transaction allowable platform, the user may be prompted to allow the platform to log in to his or her information. The user interface of the mobile device application can be deployed to help guide the user through the login process. The application can provide instructions to help the user, as well as use progress indicators, such as changing the user interface background color or image. The user can be prompted to allow access to the location of the camera, microphone, and its device. In the specific way, customers can log in via HTTPS. This login can include the first email address provided and the password used for account creation. In addition, the customer may be required to select a passcode, as well as payment details and other identifying information such as date of birth, gender, and the like. The platform can then be used to establish a secure identification method for the device and the user. In various instances, the secure identification can be generated using the secure platform layer of the transaction allowing platform. This security platform can include customer and customer data entry/exit points, as well as data caching, fingerprint checking and establishment, and encrypted storage systems. The customer's login details can be stored in a secure transaction-allowing platform-specific server, since the payment details cannot be stored on the user's device. In various embodiments, the mobile device application can store the customer's passcode and/or CVV (credit card check value); however, in other specific aspects, the customer's financial data can be stored remotely, Such as on the primary server, then at the appropriate location for the order system for delivery of the order to the merchant. Thus, sensitive private information such as credit card numbers and CVV information can be stored and stored separately and separately from, for example, some of the information stored on the mobile phone and other information stored on the primary server. This aspect of the disclosure is now explained in more detail below.

In general, payment instrument verification materials, such as credit card security code (CSC), are typically associated with payment instruments, such as payment cards for transactions. In the following CSC, but this should not be construed as a limitation on the disclosure, and the concept of a payment instrument security code may also apply to the disclosure. The CSC may include: credit card verification data (CVD), credit card verification number (CVN), credit card check value (CVV or CVV2), credit card check value code (CVVC), credit card verification code (CVC or CVC2), verification code (V- Code or V code), Credit Card Code Verification (CCV), or Signature Barcode (SPC). Reference is also made to the payment card information, but this should not be construed as a limitation on the disclosure, and the payment instrument data may also be applied to the disclosure.

The payment instrument profile (eg, payment card profile) is unique material that is required to be used to perform electronic payments in a particular transaction by the tool, the tool identifying the source of payment, such as a user account, name, and/or other Information, such as the date the tool was terminated. The payment instrument verification material (eg, CSC) includes one or more separate data items, such as numeric and/or alphanumeric codes, that are associated with the payment instrument data and may be needed in some instances, such as The so-called "no card" (CNP) transaction. In general, the following disclosure provides separate transmission and/or storage of payment instrument verification data and payment instrument data within the electronic device and between the device and the server. The transfer and/or storage can be secure and different security mechanisms can be employed for storage and transfer. As such, the security of the platform is enhanced.

The CSC can be needed so that transactions involving so-called "no card" (CNP) transactions can be performed. Essentially, the CSC provides an additional verification document indicating that the owner of the payment card below is likely to have the card it holds. Some merchants will only accept payments when the CSC is offered, except for at least one, some or all of the card information: a payment card number, at least one date associated with the payment card, associated with the payment card At least one address and at least one name associated with the payment card. Used to continue the transaction, where the CSC is deemed necessary, which typically does not allow or may store the CSC with the payment card details outlined above, and in particular stores all of this information in a single remote location (eg on a server) ). From a security standpoint, doing so can be disadvantageous because the destruction of servers that store all of this information can lead to the inflow of fraudulent CNP transactions. Alternatively, the user is required to manually enter the CSC each time a transaction is to be performed.

In the specific aspects, referring to Figure 30, the actions described herein The application can provide additional functionality to store the CSC 3101 separately from the payment card data outlined above, which can be as described above at the electronic device 702, 710, 102, 104, 602, 1300, Executed on 2302, 2312, 23102, 23105, 26500, some or all of the payment card data is stored in the remote server 3107, or shared across a plurality of servers 3115, 3117, 3119, the remote server can The platform is allowed for such servers 720, 708, 718, 108, 110, 602, 2318, 2308, 2310, 23106, 23108, 23109 or for transactions that begin to be traded above. The CSC is stored separately from the payment card data, such as on the mobile device 3103, such as in a secure memory location. In this way, there is no single location in which all of the payment information (i.e., the CSC and the payment card profile) is stored for execution of the CNP transaction. In particular, there is no single location where all payment information (CSC and payment card data) for one or more, or all users of the platform is assembled, ie it is assigned across most of the nodes in the system (Most electronic devices and one or more servers) that substantially reduce the security risks associated with any damage to a part of the system.

When the transaction needs to perform the transaction, the mobile application obtains the CSC data from the memory, and sends the CSC data 3105 to the server 3107, where it is combined with the remaining payment card data, and sent in 3121. Go to the merchant server 3123 to authorize the transaction. Another option is to obtain and receive the payment card information from the memory by obtaining the CSC from the memory, and the server 3107 or the plurality of servers 3115, 3117, 3119, that is, the relevant payment information (ie, the CSC and The payment card data can be collated by the mobile application on the electronic device. The proofreading material can then be sent directly to the merchant server 3123 for authorization. Alternatively, the server that authenticates the data may also be the merchant server 3123. To further enhance the security of the system, the CSC material can be encrypted within the mobile application and stored in encrypted form on the mobile device in the secure memory location. The mobile application is executable to encrypt the incoming payment card information and, if needed, to decrypt the CSC for the special payment card for delivery to the transaction allowing platform when the payment transaction is being performed. Most of the encryption/decryption steps can be used by the mobile application to further increase this security. The CSC stored in a secure location on the mobile device can be encrypted/decrypted based on only the first encryption algorithm known to the mobile device/application 3103. Therefore, when used to send the CSC to the When the process of the server 3107 is started, the CSC is decrypted according to the first encryption algorithm. However, before the CSC is sent to the at least one server at 3105, it is again encrypted according to a second encryption algorithm known to the mobile device/application, 3103, and server 3107. This re-encrypted CSC is then sent to the server 3107 (such as asymmetric encryption, which uses a public key, and a private key) at 3105, where it is decrypted according to the second encryption algorithm. The two encryption/decryption process means security breaching of the knowledge of intercepting the transmission 3105 and the first encryption algorithm, and knowledge of the second encryption algorithm will still be required to obtain the CSC below. Alternatively, the second encryption algorithm can directly encrypt the verification data that has been encrypted by the first encryption algorithm.

As discussed above, the remaining payment card information can be distributed among the majority of servers 3107, 3115, 3117, 3119. The security is more important if the required data is spread across more servers. Of course, the data transmitted to and received by the servers can be encrypted 3109, 3111, 3113 to further enhance the security. The encryption algorithm used can vary from server to server, or it can vary depending on the particular piece of data to be encrypted. Further security enhancements can occur by distributing a particular piece of data (e.g., a payment card number) across a plurality of servers. Of course, the data sent to the merchant server over the link 3121 can also be encrypted.

In addition, the above system can impose another security measure. The above data is combined so that it can be sent to the merchant server, or the server of the merchant server itself can also seek a unique identifier in the data received for a given user, which can be acted upon by the action The application is sent by either of the other servers, and the mobile application communicates with the other server. This allows the merchant server to verify that the transaction is non-frauding because it can be referred to as a mobile application with greater confidence that the material has been received or digested by various sources, ie, across multiple servers. Encrypted CSC, encrypted payment card details, and unique identifiers that are verified. It would be difficult for shameless people to get all the information they need. Alternatively, the unique identifier can be used by the server 3107 to obtain the payment card details themselves. In this case, the unique identifier can be tied to a special group of payment profiles or even URLs, all of which can be obtained from the URLs. The mobile app can also be used to store a number of CSCs, all related to individual payment cards and/or users. Union.

As can be appreciated, from the perspective of the user, the transaction has continued with minimal intervention. The demonstration transaction process is depicted in Figure 31. Prior to initiating the transaction, the user enters the CSC to the mobile device/application 3103 at 4201 during any phase of using the mobile application. At this stage, the CSC is encrypted and stored in secure memory at 203. As discussed above, this encryption can be via a first encryption/decryption algorithm. When the department wants to start the transaction, the mobile application retrieves and decrypts the stored CSC 4207. As discussed above, the CSC is then re-encrypted by the mobile device/application 4203 using the second encryption/decryption algorithm at 4209 and sent to the server 3107. This unique identifier (if present) can suffer from this decryption, re-encryption process. The server 3107 then decrypts the CSC and, if present, the unique identifier 3211. The server 3107 then requests the remaining payment profile (or a fragment thereof) from the other additional servers 3115, 3117, 3119 at 4213. These segments are then decrypted at the server 107. For each server including the merchant server, or each transaction process, the encryption/decryption algorithm can be unique to enhance security, similar to those described above with respect to the mobile application and server 3107. . Clearly, this process can be employed with respect to communication between the merchant server 3123 and the server 3107. The server 3107 then combines the CSC and the piece of material and re-encrypts the combined material for transmission to the merchant server 3123 at 4215. The merchant server can decrypt the received data at 4217 and authorize the transaction at 4219.

In various aspects, the machine identifiable tag and mobile device application can be used to link several e-commerce accounts to a single user. In a non-limiting example, a user may store a plurality of payment methods, billing addresses, delivery addresses, loyalty account information, and the like in a single mobile device application profile associated with the user. In this example, the user can go to several different client/business locations and be identified when using the same mobile device application. These specific aspects may also include the storage of other identifying information, such as lighting details, insurance information, and the like.

In various aspects, the mobile device application can include a navigation component to facilitate the use of the transaction to allow customers of the platform. This functionality may include a scan option that navigates the user to the machine identifiable tag scan screen. The action The application can store previous orders, in particular, the order can be reviewed based on the build date. In particular, the stored order and purchase history can display information such as the location of the sale, the method of payment, the merchant, and the purchase price. The mobile device application allows customers to add new customer information or edit customer information, such as delivery addresses. A change to this information may require the customer to enter a passcode, confirm the identity of the customer and confirm the change. Similarly, the mobile device application can include functionality where customers can add or edit payment details, such as credit card information. Changes to this information may also require the customer to enter a passcode. The mobile device application can include a setting function, where the user can access information about the application itself, in particular, including version, build, date information, and links to the platform support address. The mobile device application can also include feedback options that allow the user to compose a message to the platform developer as feedback.

In various aspects, the transaction allows the platform process to include a scan machine identifiable tag, referred to as interpreting the machine identifiable tag, in the disclosure found below. In the specific aspect of the connection, in particular, the scan machine identifiable label can be completed by the "touch buy" option, the "touch buy" or "speak as buy" option. In an off-line specific aspect, scanning the tag can include capturing an image using a mobile device or reading the tag using dedicated software. In audio specific aspects, in particular, the machine identifiable tag can be scanned by the microphone of the customer's mobile device. Once the customer scans the corresponding transaction tag for the product, the platform server can request a "get product" request from the customer/merchant e-commerce platform for the details of the product. The customer/merchant e-commerce platform can send the product details to the transaction permission platform, which can then be displayed via the mobile device application interface.

In various instances, once the login has been completed, the customer can authorize payment for the merchant and the merchant using the transaction to allow the platform. Much of the work in the payment and procurement process can be completed by the merchant's own e-commerce platform, or the platform of the third party, such as a bank or a compliance company. In some specific aspects, the transaction allows the platform not to be used to process payments, but only facilitates the provision of start payment information and delivery order confirmations and/or receipts. In various instances, the customer/business address can generate a machine identifiable tag at its address. The platform mobile device application can be used by the customer to scan the machine identifiable label of the product. The platform can then send a request for the details of the item to the merchant's e-commerce platform. The merchant can then send the product details back to the platform, which can The mobile application is then displayed to the user via the platform. Product information may include, but is not limited to, product size, color, and other similar details, and specifies the item that the customer is considering purchasing.

In various aspects, the transaction allows platform and mobile device applications to be used to facilitate payment for transactions. In various aspects, the customer can scan the machine identifiable tag, requesting the customer/merchant platform to send the corresponding product information, such as product size or color. The customer can then select the product, the specified size, color, and the like, and select the delivery address and payment method, such as a credit card. The customer can then authorize the payment by selecting a corresponding authentication option within the mobile device user interface. The application can then send the order to the merchant's e-commerce address, and the merchant's address then authorizes the payment. A rotator or another indicator can be displayed on the user interface during the authorization period. The merchant e-commerce platform can approve or reject the order. If the order is authorized, the merchant address and transaction allows the platform application to display or send order confirmations and receipts. In addition, the mobile device application can store the confirmation and receipt in the purchase history.

In various instances, the transaction allows the platform to include a secure procurement process to facilitate payment. The secure procurement process can include a customer address and request a machine identifiable tag containing SKU and API key information via HTTPS. The platform can use this information to generate a machine identifiable tag that scans the machine identifiable tag to purchase the desired product. The platform can then send a request for the SKU for the product via the integrated API by the customer/merchant's e-commerce server. The customer/merchant platform can then send the product information to the platform. The customer can choose the delivery address and payment method, and then authorize the payment to the customer/merchant. The platform mobile application can then send the message to insert an order with payment into the e-commerce address of the customer/merchant to authorize the transaction. The customer/merchant e-commerce server can then send an approval/rejection response. Both the customer/business address and the application can display the order confirmation and receipt, and the order information is added to the customer's purchase history. In various aspects, the transaction allows the platform to include a merchant dashboard. Merchants using the platform may be able to log into the user interface dashboard to review metrics about aggregated user information, such as specific information about how their customers are using the platform and the mobile device application. Information such as the total revenue for the merchant can be graphically displayed via the platform, the application type, and the type of scanned tag (offline or wired), among other metrics, such as, but not limited to, Customer name, customer age, customer email, delivery address, and the like. Merchants can be able to output their order information in various formats, such as, but not limited to, CSV files (comma or character-separated values), especially outside of the dashboard or in another application, such as Excel. Review their orders. The merchant dashboard can also be used to name an event for a merchant wishing to use an offline tag and to download a corresponding offline machine identifiable tag for use. These activities can also be provided for connection and audio tags so that companies can track their metrics in real time.

In various aspects, the transaction allows the platform to include a customer dashboard. In various aspects, the customer dashboard can include a secure portal or website for customer and customer logins and manage its platform profiles via a web interface. The user's platform profile may contain information about its payment details, transaction history, and another private identification or metric associated with the platform. The customer dashboard may allow a user to manage a majority of devices, such as users with both laptops and smart phones, accessing the platform. The customer dashboard allows the user to perform parental controls, as well as spending limits and other controls. The customer dashboard allows the user to change their password and passcode. The customer dashboard may allow the user to download private profile information, such as a personalized offer provided to the user by a particular retailer. The customer dashboard may include the ability for the user to lock or remove the device if the device is lost or stolen, or if its account details have been compromised. The customer dashboard can be accessed via a different device, such as a laptop, or via the mobile device application. In various aspects, the transaction allows the platform to include a beacon or known as a 'geo fence' technique to facilitate transactions.

Electronic devices 702, 710, 102, 104, 602, 2302, 2312, 2102, 2112 as disclosed herein may be used with beacon devices, such as wireless beacons, and constructed to be associated with such beacons Taiwan communication. Refer to "Wireless Beacons" below. However, it will be appreciated that the disclosure is generally applicable to a local wireless transceiver. In particular, a non-limiting example of a beacon station is a wireless private area network, such as Bluetooth LE®, also known as Bluetooth Low Energy or Bluetooth Smart®. In general, the wireless communication provided by the beacon station can be short-range wireless communication, such as low-power Bluetooth or Bluetooth Smart®. The beacon This basic IEEE 802.15 standard can be followed. The short-range wireless communication protocol is different from the remote wireless communication protocol (which may also be provided by the electronic device), such as LTE, UMTS, 3G, EDGE, GPRS, GSM, and Wi-Fi. Devices in accordance with this short range wireless protocol may be compatible with one or more operating systems, such as Apple iOS 7, Windows Phone 8, Android 4.3, and BlackBerry 10, as well as updated versions of each. Other local area network technologies can be used as beacons, which can have an unlimited communication range of up to 100 meters. The physical store retail establishment may limit its beacon range by being limited by the received signal strength indicator, the receive channel source power indication, or another suitable method. In various aspects, the beacon station can be used to identify the physical location of the user's mobile device by communicating with the mobile device application of the transaction permitting platform.

The beacon station is characterized by identifying information advertisements that are characterized by beacon stations from a group of beacon stations. This identification information can be included in the broadcast message. The broadcast message may contain data as an indication of the power, the broadcast message being transmitted at the power (the beacon station may also be configured to send the broadcast message at different power levels for the broadcast message to be received Implement a change in the scope). The mobile application (which can be run on the electronic devices 702, 102, 2302, 23102) can be configured to measure the power received by the broadcast message. The difference between the received power and the transmitted power (as indicated by the data in the broadcast) can be attributed to the path loss, which can be approximately related to the distance from the beacon. This provides a related measurement relative to the beacon.

From the above, and with reference to Figure 32, it can be appreciated that an absolute measurement of the physical location of the user's mobile device can be determined. This may be in addition to or instead of establishing the relative position. If the physical location of the beacon station is known, the electronic device that detects the beacon station can be said to be in the same location as the beacon station. The mobile application (which can be run on the electronic devices 32305, 702, 102, 2302, 23102) can detect the beacon 32301 and transmit to the server 32309 that it has detected the beacon (It can be such servers 720, 708, 718, 108, 110, 602, 2318, 2308, 2310, 23106, 23108, 23109, or a transaction-permitted platform on which transactions are initiated). The server 32301 can query the computer-implemented login storage 32313 (or another selection system, the electronic device 32305 can directly query the computer-implemented login storage of the beacon station 32313) to view the beacon. Whether it contains Used for the profile of the beacon station that has been detected. If so, the profile of the detected beacon can be checked to see if it contains location data for the beacon. The location data can take many forms, including GPS coordinates, latitude and longitude, altitude (eg, height above altitude), address, or name. In this manner, the server and/or mobile device application can verify the physical location of the user's mobile device. In fact, the login store of the beacon station can be referred to as facilitating the mapping of beacon stations located in different locations. Thus, in an exemplary scenario, this may consist of a map 32315 having an image 32317 thereon, which are indicative of the location of the individual beacons. This may prove particularly useful in traditional location services, such as GPS, A-GPS, cellular triangulation, etc., which may be unavailable due to poor signal reception.

As discussed, the computer-implemented login store of the beacons 32313 can contain profiles for each beacon. In addition to the location data, the profile can also indicate a unique identifier associated with the beacon. This unique identifier assists in the detection of special beacons. The unique identifier can have associated features in the profile. For example, a known beacon station feature can include a Universal Unique Identifier (UUID), a primary value, a secondary value, and an indication of the transmission power of the beacon station. The beacon can be transmitted through an interval and has a repeating period, both of which can also be indicated in the profile. Another information that may be included in the profile includes information about the holder/owner of the beacon, the vendor of the beacon, the service history of the beacon, the firmware version, The previous location of the beacon, the history of the mobile device detecting the beacon, so that each mobile device has stored the associated data file. For example, the associated data file can be an indication of the type of user, mobile device of the mobile device, and the previous location of the device. Another information in the profile may include the beacon device profile, RSSI value, beacon internal data including time, date, detection zone, geographic location, battery voltage, from detecting the beacon External data of the mobile application, such as information about the device on which the mobile application is running or its users, profiles, timestamps such as the date of creation, update, number of times the beacon has been detected And the statistical analysis of the detections, the service provider of the beacon, and the information associated with the beacon, such as the device that monitors the beacon of its environment.

Setting on the login storage implemented by the computer of the beacon station 32313 Files can be created in many ways. A simple user interface connected to the server containing the profile allows the beacon and associated profiles to be logged in. The user interface can be intuitively provided by the mapping software 32315, which allows the image 32317 indicating the individual beacons to be pinned or placed on the map. The entropy software 32315 can provide a level of change in granularity or map zoom including the city to street level, to individual buildings, to precise locations within the building, including floor numbers. Typical existing positioning techniques determine the height of the system within acceptable tolerances. Alternatively, the information can be obtained from various databases 32321 at 32319. The information in the login store can of course be accessed, read, updated or edited by many groups. The group may be prohibited from gaining access and enters if its previous or existing entry is not a required standard. The login store can also employ authentication/authorization details before access is allowed. The information in the login store can also be encrypted unless the access has been agreed.

Advantageously, the mobile application when running on the electronic device 32305 can be used to establish an entry on the computer-implemented login store of the beacon station 32313. In the case where the mobile application can determine its location within an acceptable tolerance, such as using GPS, A-GPS, or cellular triangulation, it can send the location data to the server 32309 along with 32307. Instructing that it has detected the beacon station with this location data (or another selection system, the electronic device 32305 can directly communicate with the login storage implemented by the computer of the beacon station 32313). The server can verify whether the computer-implemented login storage corresponding to the beacon station's profile exists in the profile of the beacon station, which can be a unique identifier based on the detected beacon. If not, the profile is established for the beacon station on the computer-implemented login store of the beacon station 32313, which initially contains all of the information provided by the detected beacon, such as unique An identifier (UUID), a primary value, a secondary value, an indication of the transmission power of the beacon station (the information at the different power levels is also available for use, the beacon station can transmit at the power level), The beacon transmission interval and the period of repetition. Another option is that existing profiles can be updated or supplemented with this information. If the updated information and the person who is already associated with the profile are significantly different, there may be an additional "limit" requirement before the profile is updated. For example, if the login store receives an instance of many of the same update information by an individual number of mobile applications, and this exceeds a certain limit, this indicates that the current profile should be updated. This limit requirement helps ensure that it is used for each The data of a profile is as accurate as possible. This ensures that sensitive changes such as this primary value, or a small value, are updated. The recently created, updated or existing profile is then supplemented with location data obtained by the mobile application. Further location profiles provided by subsequent submissions can be used to validate or enhance the existing profile.

It can be understood (or another option, the electronic device 32305 can directly query the computer-implemented login storage of the beacon station 32313) that the existing positioning technology cannot operate within acceptable tolerances, such as in a building In the area of use, an organization that provides significantly improved positioning or tracking of the user of the mobile application. As discussed above, establishing an elevation system is particularly problematic. If many beacons are deployed throughout a building and their individual locations have been accurately determined and added to their individual profiles on the login storage, the precise position and motion of the device running the mobile application can be Decide. Each beacon in this building has a unique identifier. The order in which they are detected therefore corresponds to the path that the device running the mobile application has advanced. This can be further enhanced with the staging data to display the corresponding amount of time spent by the user at a location along the path.

The beacon can communicate with the client/business server. In various aspects, the user can be a store that can walk into the merchant, and the beacon can then communicate with the user to allow the platform mobile device application to communicate. The customer can then select the product that the customer is interested in and pay for the product without leaving after the traditional POS terminal pays the bill. In various embodiments, the beacon station is a transmitter that transmits unique identifier/identification information to the customer's mobile device for use as a signal to initiate activity of the mobile application when the mobile device enters the mobile device An event associated with the beacon is executed in the vicinity of the beacon. In various aspects, the mobile application communicates with the server to perform an action that is affected by the awareness that the mobile application is approaching the beacon that sent the unique identifier.

Unique identifiers can have certain characteristics. For example, a known beacon station feature can include a Universal Unique Identifier (UUID), a primary value, a secondary value, and an indication of the transmission power of the beacon station. It can thus be appreciated that changing some or all of these features, and by extending the unique identifiers transmitted by the beacon, can be used to perform a change in the events performed by the corresponding mobile application.

Typically, a beacon station having a predetermined set of characteristics is supplied to the terminal Household. Each beacon can be used for the corresponding event execution. For example, each beacon can be deployed in a different segment of the retail unit, and each beacon triggers an event in the mobile application corresponding to the detected segment. This is achieved by correlating the unique identifier of the beacon station with the individual actions on the server, and the mobile application communicates with the server when it detects the beacon. As such, each beacon can be used to trigger an event by changing the association on the server, the mobile application communicating with the server as it detects the beacon.

It may be desirable to reconfigure the features of the beacon itself. This requires a direct connection between the beacon and the beacon reconfiguring hardware. The connection may occur via any suitable wireless communication such as Bluetooth, WIFI, or even a wired connection such as Ethernet, USB, or the like. However, when the number of beacons is large, this can be a time consuming process because each beacon needs to make an additional connection to it before reconstituting.

Referring to Figures 33 and 34, the mobile application described in this application can be run on the electronic device 32305, 702, 102, 2302, 23102 and can be provided as another option or as a promotional beacon. Additional features of hardware reconfiguration. As discussed above, beacon station 5301 is referred to as advertising its presence by broadcast message 5303. The broadcast occurs through an interval and can be repeated. Both the interval and the period of repetition can be varied. The broadcast contains the unique identifier, whereby at least one of the unique identifier (UUID), the primary value, the secondary value, and an indication of the transmission power of the beacon station can be retrieved. In the above conventional process, the detection 6401 of at least one of these values triggers a corresponding event in the mobile application 5305. The event is initiated by the mobile application and an indication is sent to the server 6309 at 5307, 6403 (which may be the servers 720, 708, 718, 108, 110, 602, 2318, 2308, 2310). , 23106, 23108, 23109 or a transaction-permitted platform on which to start trading, the mobile application is connected to the server, the server has detected a beacon with a unique identifier.

Advantageously, the server 5309 can also forward the beacon station to the reconfiguration and have a new beacon configuration feature waiting for the download 6405 to be delivered to the mobile application. The server can receive these new features through the database 5313 to which it is connected 5311. Another option is that the user interface associated with the server can be used to select For re-organized beacons, and new fabrics for any selected beacons. This new fabric can be scheduled for deployment. In this way, if the broadcast detection time coincides with the deployment schedule, the server only allows the mobile application to obtain the new fabric parameters. When the server recognizes that the reconfiguration system for the detected beacon station wants, it sends the new fabric to the mobile application at 6405. This new fabric can be encrypted. The mobile application then opens a communication channel to the beacon station so that the new fabric can be deployed. The channel 5303 can be the same channel on which the broadcast is sent. Alternatively, the channel can be different from the channel on which the broadcast is sent. The data sent on this channel can be encrypted. In addition, there may be an authentication process prior to the communication channel being opened to prevent unauthorized tampering with the beacon. When the server sends the new fabric to the mobile application, this can be provided by the server that sent the authorization data. Upon receiving the new fabric, the beacon station 5301 is updated 6407 to have a new unique identifier. This can be done by changing the Universal Unique Identifier (UUID), the primary value, the secondary value, the transmission power (which may have been previously changed incorrectly or recently), the broadcast interval, and the period of repetition. At least one is achieved. Changing the transmission power enables a change in the range in which the broadcast message can be received. Thus, the mobile application has been used to reconfigure the beacon station only by being in the vicinity of the beacon station that needs to be reconfigured at 6409. It will be appreciated that the disclosure is generally applicable to a local wireless transceiver that can be reconfigured using this same process.

It will be appreciated that the process described above for reconfiguring the beacon station (or substantially the local wireless transceiver) can be designed to be suitable for other applications. For example, in addition to reconfiguring the beacon or as an alternative, the mobile application can only open the communication channel to the beacon for the purpose of exchanging data. The channel can have different modes, such as one-way or two-way. The second or unidirectional mode enables the electronic device to only send data or receive data from the beacon station. The second or bidirectional mode enables the electronic device to send data and receive data from the beacon station. This is useful if the beacon is connected to a device that wants internet connectivity, but can only do so when bound to an electronic device with internet connectivity via the mobile application. This connectivity may be desirable for the purpose of sending/receiving firmware updates, status updates, logs, or any other material relating to the beacon, or the device to which the beacon is connected. For example, natural or environmental research tools (coupled to beacons) that continuously collect data from the environment can use The above process is to send the data to the server, and the research tool is located in the environment. A mobile application with access to the cellular connection can detect a broadcast connected to the beacon of the research tool and send the broadcast to the server to which the mobile application is connected. The server can receive a request that the beacon detection will trigger a network sharing operation between the beacon and the mobile application. When the information from the tools is sent to the desired location, such as indicated by the URL, the user of the mobile application may have to grant permission to continue the desired network share. The mobile application can be used as an intermediary device for facilitating data transfer. It will be appreciated that the mobile application can use certain techniques of an electronic device that operates on the technology to collect data on the environment in which it is located. For example, the mobile app can access the device's NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, A-GPS or cellular triangulation capabilities. This access can be used to collect information such as device location, RFID tags that the device has detected, other devices with which the devices have interacted.

In other specific aspects, location data, proximity to beacons, GPS location, cellular triangulation, or another location information about the customer's mobile device can be used to facilitate location-based The offer, such as presenting a particular change in the product captured by the mobile phone camera based on location, presenting a location-based price, or presenting another location-based content (including advertising). Various methods and systems for location-based pricing are known to those skilled in the art and are intended to be encompassed herein.

In various instances, the beacon can alert the customer that certain items are available for downloading in a particular location, and then facilitate downloading of such items. In a non-limiting example, the gallery may place a beacon to inform a platform mobile device user that another soft system for the substantially or specially presented gallery is available for download. The software may include an information application that can be used by visitors to the gallery to enrich the visitor's experience in the gallery, such as an audio tour or another conversational software. The user can delete the software when he or she leaves the gallery and also use the platform application to purchase in the gallery gift store. In various aspects, the software may include a particular location to trade its functionality, such as, but not limited to, directing the mobile device user to a gallery-specific checkout website that is also inside the gallery.

In various aspects, the platform can include providing offline data package software to the user. In such specific aspects, the beacon and mobile device applications can be employed to provide information downloads that can be useful to the user when the user is within range of a particular beacon. In a non-limiting example, the gallery may provide a beacon station adjacent to the portal that distributes fire and emergency information to the user's mobile device application. In the event of a fire, if the user is in the range of the information beacon, the beacon can provide the mobile device application to the mobile device without connecting to the internet. These specific aspects can provide value, especially in environments with poor or no network (e.g., internet) connectivity.

In various instances, the beacon can be used to provide a personalized quote at a retail/merchant location based on purchasing habits. In a non-limiting example, a customer may walk into a retail store and enter the range of the beacon. The beacon can then provide a personalized quote to the mobile device user within range and can cause the phone to alert the user to the offer. The coupon can be linked to the user's loyalty or reward account and can be used in conjunction with the user's shopping habits, for example, a customer who spends $500 a month in the store can receive a gift of the favorite item category or an additional $20 discount. Additionally, the beacon station can provide a coupon that displays the machine identifiable tag to scan or retrieve when a loyalty card is presented at the physical checkout. These specific aspects can also be used to attract users to the store. When the customer enters the beacon range outside the store entrance, their mobile device application can alert the customer and display a quote or personalized welcome message to attract the user to the retail/merchant location. In various instances, once the user is in the room, the beacon can be used to facilitate tracking the back of the user at the retail/merchant location.

In various instances, the beacon can be used to provide loyalty or reward program identification without the product corresponding to the card or another type of verification. The mobile device user can add their loyalty or reward program ID as part of their identification for their mobile device application. The user can then walk into the retail/merchant location and use their mobile device application, which has the loyalty or reward ID to check out its purchase. Upon entering the checkout location, the user can be recognized by the POS system, which can then log in to all purchases made by the loyalty or reward program component. In specific situations, by matching information to a loyalty database, such as email, phone, address Or other identifiers, the beacon can be used to facilitate user signing of loyalty or reward programs.

In various aspects, the beacon and the mobile device application can be used to represent the user action. The beacon and mobile device applications can be used to automatically connect to a specific Wi-Fi connection. Referring to Figures 35 and 36, in addition to or in connection with other functions provided by the mobile device application, the mobile application (which may be at the electronic device 5305, 32305, 702, 102, 2302, 23102) Running on) can provide this advantageous functionality, as described herein. A large number of wireless communication technologies that can be used to run the mobile application, including but not limited to LTE, UMTS, EDGE, NFC, GPRS, GSM, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, have expectations for the user. That is, the device may always have a connection for the purpose of data reception/transmission. However, this is not always the case, as poor reception from the base station can exclude hive-based mechanisms for data transfer. Furthermore, Wi-Fi does not provide the same "delivery by buyer notification" feature for cellular connections. In other words, when a cellular connection is available, the user seamlessly transmits the data without having to consider the possible connection settings. This is in contrast to Wi-Fi connections, which typically require the user to first enable the mobile application on the associated radio on its device, select the desired network, and obtain as much as possible through an authentication process. take. This of course presupposes that the user is aware of the existence of a Wi-Fi access point to begin. Moreover, it is not even intuitive for a user to seek a Wi-Fi access point if they have cellular connectivity and the user is unaware that the bandwidth provided by the cellular connection is insufficient. Another consideration may be that the user is aware of exceeding the prepaid data margin and avoids using the data transfer altogether. Therefore, for the purpose of data transfer, there is a need to provide connectivity to the user with minimal user interaction.

As discussed above, the mobile application 7501 can detect the beacon 7503 by the presence of the beacon station broadcast 7505, and then notify the server 7509 at 7507 (which can be the servers 720, 708, 718). , 108, 110, 602, 2318, 2308, 2310, 23106, 23108, 23109 or a transaction allowing platform on which the transaction is started to be executed), after the event that the mobile application has been detected, and the beacon Has been detected. It will be understood that the load cell of the detected beacon is significantly smaller, and even a low frequency wide cellular connection will be sufficient to deliver this information to the server. Responded to being notified The mobile application has detected the server of the beacon, for example, through a unique identifier transmitted by the beacon, the server is queried at 8603 and will be used for the access point of Wi-Fi 7511. An indication 7507 is available to the mobile application 7501. The query can be achieved by a server having knowledge of a Wi-Fi network that is in the same location as the beacon station and that has been identified by its unique id. The indication can provide login details, such as a username and password, which are typically entered manually during the front end process, such as requesting login details to restrict access to the Wi-Fi network. Therefore, the indication itself eliminates the need for a front-end step of entering the login details, as the device that has received the indication can provide the required login details as part of the back-end process. The indication 8605 can also include the SSID, IP address, subnet mask, preset gateway, DNS, WPA, WEP, or WEP, etc., all of which are parameters associated with the access point. This is especially useful in scenarios where the Wi-Fi network does not broadcast its SSID (ie, "hidden" network) and the device that you wish to connect will not get these parameters. It can also be useful if there are a number of Wi-Fi networks available, and the server and/or Wi-Fi provider wants to balance the devices connected to each of the majority of the Wi-Fi networks. number. By default, the DNS typically corresponds to the predetermined gateway, which triggers the access point hardware to send a request to the ISP's default DNS. However, it may be advantageous to indicate a third party DNS, which may be a default DNS for a faster ISP. Changing the DNS settings is not something that a typical user is familiar with, and it can therefore be understood that the indication provides a way in which this change can be easily implemented. The mobile application then interacts with the underlying operating system, such as via an API, to use some or all of the information sent by the server (ie, login details and/or some or all of such information) The access point parameters automatically build the radio connection 7513, 8607 to the Wi-Fi network. In this manner, the mobile application is seamlessly and automatically connected to the access point of the Wi-Fi network via the device on which the mobile application is running, and thus over the Wi-Fi network, Or the network associated with it, only by coming to the proximity to the beacon. Data transfer with sufficient and stable bandwidth can continue as such.

As an alternative or additional measure for use in episodes of no or very low frequency wide cellular connectivity, the beacon itself can provide an indication associated with the access point, the login details, or SSID, IP address, subnet mask, preset gateway, DNS, WPA, WEP, or WEP. In this way, due to the lack of cellular connectivity Sex, since the range of the Bluetooth beacon can be similar to that provided by the Wi-Fi access point, the user is not obstructed to obtain Wi-Fi connectivity. In other words, since the mobile application is within range of the beacon, it is also within the range of the Wi-Fi access point and will automatically connect to the access point of the Wi-Fi network. And so over the Wi-Fi network. In all of the cues that automatically connect the electronic device to the access point, the electronic device may first require user confirmation, such as input on a touch screen device.

As an additional or additional measure for use in the scenario where the Wi-Fi radio of the device on which the mobile application is running is stopped, the indication may also instruct the mobile application to work with the following The systems interact, such as via an API, to enable the Wi-Fi radio, and then construct it to connect to the access point.

In various instances, the beacon and mobile device applications can be used in particular to visit websites, open different applications, receive or reply to messages, report/login locations, add products to virtual carts or product Add to the virtual wish list / login storage. In various aspects, the mobile device application can be deployed to provide recommendations for the best-selling or highest-rated product for each region accessed by the user. In various instances, the mobile device application can be deployed to store machine identifiable tag information even where there is no data connection. When the machine identifiable tag is scanned, the mobile device application can store the tag until the data link is available, and then add the product information to the user's checkout basket details.

In various aspects, the beacon station can be deployed with the mobile device application and POS to allow for digital wallet capabilities and data exchange. In such specific aspects, the beacon station can be used to provide loyalty program, component, or customer information transfer by using private customer information obtained by the beacon. The beacon can also be deployed for quick login, loyalty signing, product warranty login, rebate submission, and the like. In addition, the beacon station can be used for payment, for example, to within the beacon station to pay for an item, and to use a personal identifier to authorize or verify the payment.

The network access device 40008 can be a Wi-Fi router, a cell tower, and the like. Network access device 40008 can be connected to network 40022. The network 40022 can be a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), and the like. Network 40022 can be a network, such as network 3840. An example of a network 40022 can be the public internet. The service provider mobile application server 40010 can include a program 40012, a storage 40014, an engine 40036, and the like. The service provider mobile application server 40010 can be a server, such as server 4001. Engine 40036 can be integrated with payment service providers and the like.

The third party service provider 40024 can be a tax service provider, a delivery service provider, a login storage service provider, an audio service provider, a video service provider, a broadcast system. Service providers, similar people, etc.

As discussed, a machine-readable label or code, such as a QR code, for a commodity, by acting as a source of prepared, reliable, and up-to-date information on a product offering from a merchant or provider, or as a channel thereof. Can be added to the shopper's daily necessities. In some instances, the tag may include information that is identified on a single product, such as by a unique inventory unit (SKU) identifier or another unique identifier, such as in a product that includes a merchant or majority of merchants. Dispatched within the system, catalog, etc. In other examples, the label can represent a product having several models, and features of broad variability, color, size, and the like can be used for the models. In this e-commerce environment, the beacon helper is a useful mechanism to provide additional information to shoppers and potential customers. For example, by directly communicating with an application on the mobile device, the platform described herein can identify that the user has interacted with the bicycle, and the bicycle is labeled with a special QR code. Alternatively, the beacon itself can be used to trigger a process (as above) that is similar to the user detecting the QR code. The beacon broadcast can be associated with related products, such as the products in the above examples. The device that detects the beacon station sends an indication to the server that has detected the beacon broadcast. The server then establishes that the beacon broadcast system is associated with the product and sends a message to the user's application, indicating that the bicycle can be purchased, for example, in the following colors, sizes, and prices. Another piece of information, such as shipping information. The user can then interact with the message via the application, such as selecting color and size, selecting a payment model, and ordering a particular product, as well as selecting a payment method, shipping date, and the like.

This message encourages the user to download additional information about the product, such as features, colors, sizes, terms of service, warranty information, and the like. This additional information may also include product availability, shipping information, and the like. The merchant or provider can also use the beacon to trigger a process (such as above) that lures the shopper with a coupon or other incentive to encourage the shopper to make a purchase. One advantage is the user authentication that is readily available to the user's mobile electronic device, and the merchant or another provider can easily dispense with the user or shopper carrying and presenting the entity "loyalty" for the merchant loyalty program. "The need for the card. The user will know the convenience of not having to carry the card. There is also an advantage that customers and merchants suitable for the transaction of the loyalty card can be electronically recorded. So no Confusion about lost cards. The opportunity for staff members to fail to pay attention to the transaction is also avoided. The merchant can use the electronic version of the loyalty card and paste the user's transaction on a user account page accessible to the user/customer at his or her convenience, up to one person can use the credit card company Or the bank's statement of the private account.

Because of the capabilities of the beacon, especially if the merchant also provides hotspots for wireless internet coverage, ie Wi-Fi, the use of this e-commerce transaction platform has many advantages. Once the user has a connection to the e-commerce platform, or the transaction facilitation platform, many possible simulcasts and connections are possible. As such, the user can access his account with a financial institution, such as an account with a bank, credit card company, or the like. The user can also access his account with the merchant or provider of the beacon, the private area network, and the wireless internet connection. The provider, ie the merchant of the goods or services or another provider, may have a web site for electronic transactions. The selected URL can be the URL used for this e-commerce trading platform. The user may choose to run the business and make a transaction with the e-commerce transaction platform instead of using the beacon to use the point of sale (POS) terminal in the same store. In one embodiment, the beacon station triggers a process (as above) that directs the individual to a web site for the e-commerce platform. In other embodiments, the user may use a POS terminal having the capabilities described herein, but certain information, such as product selection, coupon selection, payment type selection, and the like, may be used therein. The mobile device is pre-filled so that the steps required to use the POS terminal are reduced, eliminated, or made more efficient.

The beacon system allows the merchant or provider to serve shoppers, visitors, and passers-by, and allows the merchant to turn each of them into a customer opportunity. As discussed, the beacon station provider allows the beacon to trigger a process (as above) to provide information to each of these visitors. When the visitor enters the range of the beacon or hotspot, the welcome message can appear on the screen of the visitor's mobile device. Most mobile devices have at least minimal security features. Thus, the first hint that the visitor sees may be a clue from the mobile device that informs the visitor that he or she has a message and whether the individual wants to see the message. For example, mobile device users may be able to broadcast their location to nearby towers so that a mobile phone call can be generated. The mobile device user can also broadcast its location in other aspects, such as for GPS locations, enabling geographic locations, and the like. The mobile phone can also be positioned by other mechanisms, such as triangulation using varying signal strengths at different known locations, such as where the beacon is installed.

Once the beacon has triggered a process (as above) that provides information to the user or potential customer, many actions can follow. The application for e-commerce that has been downloaded to the user's mobile device can then be launched on the user's mobile device and the message can be sent through the application. Alternatively, the message can be sent without passing through the application, such as to the user's email, the message box, the instant message file library, the SMS, and the like. In one embodiment, perhaps after the user has viewed one or more product tags or codes and indicates an interest in at least one of them, the user may be directed to or may request a checkout. The checkout, ie processing the business, purchasing the product, purchasing the tour, and the like, can be performed at the point of sale (POS) in the merchant location, including POS terminals with enhanced capabilities and features, as disclosed herein. Revealed elsewhere in the content. These terminals can be seen and feel like a standard checkout at a store, but are microprocessor operated and connected to the merchant's information system. The microprocessor and associated circuitry, such as memory, interfaces and the like, can be safely and securely placed to prevent unauthorized access and any possible electronic, magnetic, or electromagnetic interference. The POS terminal can include a printer such that the user can be provided with a receipt if desired. The scanner at the POS terminal can be useful for scanning a tag or other label of the item, including scanning a tag that has been captured and displayed on the user's mobile device via the application.

The customer or potential customer may prefer to pay for the item in cash or by credit card or debit card, which is not logged in with the merchant's system or on the e-commerce platform. The POS terminal is capable of accommodating these changes. Accordingly, the POS terminal can be equipped with a scanner suitable for reading EMV chips and for reading standard magnetic strips, such as those on credit cards and charge cards. The terminal can also be equipped with an interface for cash drawers for customers who wish to pay cash. In the case of the cash drawer, if not more important, physical security is as important as limiting the unauthorized access to the computer hardware. Accordingly, the design of the data entry point will block unauthorized devices such as flat blades, transmission multiplex keyboards, and the like. These devices are useful in fraudulently obtaining a user's credit card number and verification number, such as a 3-digit credit card check value (CVV) or personal identification number. of. The POS terminal is designed to prevent or hinder the use of these types of devices.

The e-commerce platform and the use of the beacon system can be enhanced by application software that is written to enhance these programs. The application software and application software development kit is discussed elsewhere in this article. This software operation is a very important aspect of secure electronic transactions.

An example of a useful software application is when the display screen is redirected, the display on the POS system corrects its own capabilities. For example, a display screen can generally be oriented upright with the longer sides being horizontal and the shorter sides being upright. Staff and customers can be accustomed to using this orientation. The staff may need to relocate the POS terminal or the screen to a certain extent, where there is insufficient space for long horizontal stretching. In one embodiment, the software of the POS terminal is redirected to display on the display screen such that the information is always correctly presented to the user or staff during the transaction. The screen, or associated device, can be equipped with a tilt sensor, an accelerometer, or both to sense the rotation of the screen and such orientation. In controlling the orientation and the ease with which the store staff and the customer are in the transaction, the sensor and the auto-rotating application give the merchant or operator more freedom. The software for the POS terminal may allow the auto-rotation feature to be turned off, i.e., a fixed horizontal or upright orientation, so that no redirection occurs.

In addition to these specific aspects, it may be useful to consider the "touch buy" and "speak as buy" tags in the token environment. As such, the user may be shopping in a physical store for an item he or she is considering purchasing. When a signal is transmitted by the beacon station tag discussed above, it triggers a process (as above) to display a "buy" button image on the user's phone that can be routed through the use. The interface application on the mobile phone. The interface application can be a computer application, and is useful for communication with the e-commerce platform, and is also useful for communication with a homologous computer, server, and sensor of the e-commerce platform. In this example, when the user touches the item or speaks a command sufficient to display the temptation, the user's interface program or application can receive a signal indicating the item selected for purchase. The user can communicate with the e-commerce platform via the application and can also communicate with the appropriate tag. As such, it may not require the user or buyer to interface with the point of sale (POS) terminal of the merchant or store, or even have an e-commerce feature, since at the beginning of the purchase, via a code associated with the particular product. Or the identification of the tag's application, the platform allows for procurement and automatic fulfillment of the purchase. For example, using the stored purchase and delivery information of the user, the purchase can be made and scheduled for delivery. This information can be stored in several places, such as those discussed elsewhere, such as the e-commerce server, third-party servers, files on the user's mobile phone or smart phone. If the item to be purchased is heavy, cumbersome, or otherwise inconvenient to be handled by the prospective customer, or if a particular version (such as size or color) is not immediately available at the location, but can be This advantage can be useful when buying in a store or warehouse.

In some embodiments, the merchant's point of sale (POS) terminal can be equipped for beacon system transactions. The POS terminal will be equipped with software suitable for interacting with shoppers and customers using the beacon type system, the customers having the application or interface application on their mobile device. This POS software will desirably be part of the system for the beacon. As such, another option is if the shopper or user of the beacon system wishes to interact with the merchant's point of sale (POS) terminal, the application on the user's mobile device or smart phone or The interface application can be used to access the POS software application on the merchant's POS terminal (ie, the process triggered by the beacon includes the step of contacting the POS software application on the merchant's POS terminal). Since the payment and delivery information of the user is stored in several places, including the file on the user's mobile device, the interaction can be quickly and directly generated by the mobile device to the POS system, avoiding the POS system. The information is entered separately, or the number of steps taken by the POS system is reduced. The user can then receive a receipt in person or electronically and the transaction can be completed. The user/shopper may also take delivery of the item or may request that the item be shipped to the user's designated delivery address, or to one of a different address. The POS system can have several possible forms. In one embodiment, the point of sale system can include a printer that is placed in a plastic or synthetic sump. The system may also include a scanner for bar code or another inventory unit (SKU) information and may include a screen for easy use by staff. The screen can be mounted on a rod attached to the plastic printer housing, or the screen can have a base suitable for mounting on a table or table. The POS system or terminal will also include a microprocessor or computer and have access to non-transitory computer memory. In this application In the case of a beacon type system, the POS terminal can be equipped with interfaces and communication devices described elsewhere herein. The POS system and microprocessor may have one or more interfaces suitable for receiving electronic payments, such as an interface for interfacing with an EMV wafer on a user's electronic smart card, which may be a charge card Or a credit card. The POS system can also be equipped with a magnetic stripe card reader and can have an RFID reader suitable for use in connection with an RFID type key fob or other RFID specific aspect, such as an RFID tag on a product.

Keeping secure data secure and encrypted is so important in commercial and in all transactions in which the beacon station allows business. Once the user or potential customer and his or her mobile device come within the scope of the merchant or another provider's beacon system, the beacon system triggers a process for the need for security (eg, above) ) to send a message. Any unencrypted message or information to the public should be generally non-confidential. This may include information about today's features or other opportunities that the merchant would like to advertise or broadcast. Once the user is in range, the user's mobile device can transmit information about the user's identity, such as the user's mobile phone number or the identifier of the user's application on the mobile device. . No other information will be available to the user or the user's mobile phone, or another unencrypted electronic device.

When the user wishes to make a purchase, two-way communication is initiated between the user's mobile device and the POS system. The user's identity card and all information about the desired purchase or another transaction is encrypted. As noted, the sensitive user insurance date may have been encrypted and stored in the user's mobile device, the e-commerce server or another server, such as one or more files on a third party server. . Each use of the security material may require a security key, the use of a unique machine-generated identifier for each transaction, or the use of such security material, and the like. As noted, the information needed to make the purchase may already be available to the merchant or the e-commerce system. It may not be necessary for the user to transmit a credit card number or another sensitive information that is different from identifying the user's password or passcode to the e-commerce system. The password or passcode should of course be encrypted when it is sent.

The beacon system can contact the user when the user and his or her mobile device come within range of the beacon system. That is, the beacon can trigger A process (as above) that launches a message to the user, such as launching the e-commerce application. The launch may take the form of a temporary message to the store, to the gallery, such as a welcome message, or another establishment, where the transaction may be encouraged by the owner. These include, without limitation, hotels, convention centers, sports arenas, shopping centers, universities, government equipment, transportation centers, restaurants, tourist attractions, and the like. Each of these locations may use the types of beacons and e-commerce transaction platforms described herein. Each person's launch can be tailored to the taste or preference of the visitor or guest. That is, when the beacon station and the application are launched, the merchandise provided may be the type desired for the location. The gallery offers tickets for special events, audio tours, particularly attractive things, new exhibitions, and the like. The transportation center can provide insights on what kind of traffic and destinations are provided. Each of these can then encourage the purchase of the item to be visited, the packaging of the attraction, the reservation of the ticket, and the like.

The same POS system and POS type hardware discussed throughout this disclosure can be used. It can also be important and useful to ensure the physical security of a piece of hardware used in the e-commerce transactions described herein. Computers or microprocessors used in the POS terminal will not be subject to tampering, and other components, such as any memory device, receiver/transmitter, interface and the like, will not be subject to tampering. In any particular aspect, any electronic access to such devices should be protected by a password/passcode. In other embodiments, electronic access to such devices may only occur with certain authentications or keys that may be obtained by the vendor or by authorized service personnel. In other environments, the housing can be interlocked such that the POS terminal is inoperable when the housing is opened. In other embodiments, the device can be protected from EMI intrusion or signal interception by appropriate blocking of devices or interference, such as a safety box, and the like.

This disclosure includes the use of a beacon to interact with customers and to conduct transactions using the e-commerce platform. The software discussed herein can be provided in connection with the application. However, there are other useful details and changes to this topic. For example, the beacon can be used to trigger a process (as above) to first attract the attention of passers-by or people entering a store, exhibition hall, and the like. The software that powers the e-commerce transaction allowing platform or transaction facilitation platform can then be used in other ways to be able to initiate a purchase or communicate a transaction. For example, in addition to using a one-way communication beacon, the merchant or another The provider can use a Wi-Fi hotspot, or even a direct connection, such as a USB port, to communicate with the user's mobile device. Thus, in one embodiment, the user's mobile device can be installed on the merchant's POS system. Although this will make the transaction easier, the software should be rewritten so that the method is easily done.

Another specific aspect may be a Software Development Kit (SDK) that is provided for independent software developers to assist with the e-commerce enabled platform and additional applications for beacon-assisted transactions and payments. decorations. These kits can contain source code or another piece of information that can help a standalone developer. The SDK can be constructed to emphasize that the transaction and the secondary communication should be encrypted and secure, and not subject to eavesdropping or interference from other groups. In some embodiments, the software development kit may encourage sensitive user information or data to be stored in a file intended to remain on the user's mobile device, rather than being stored on the e-commerce platform or in the first On the three-party server. In other specific contexts, these kits encourage strong encryption and secure storage on the e-commerce platform or on third-party servers.

When the user's personal information is secure and the operating system of the mobile electronic device is also secure, the user will be more likely to participate in electronic communication with new and unfamiliar sellers. As such, when a user ventures away from their comfort zone, such as during a short trip or extended trip, they will be more likely to participate in the business when they are satisfied that their information is safe. This security will make the user more comfortable when viewing information provided by a beacon station associated with a particular store or location, as discussed elsewhere. When appropriate, when the beacons participating in this e-commerce platform allow transactions, insurance from merchants and from holders will help to make customers more comfortable. Such insurance may take the form of warranties and insurance, ie, if there is any type of security breach, the customer will not be subject to fraud, eavesdropping or any unauthorized transaction.

These insurance and authentic secure encryption authentication systems will also encourage users to continue their normal purchases, such as preferred brands such as consumer goods, food, leisure products and the like, when they leave home. For example, a user may prefer a department store or a grocery store, but cannot participate in e-commerce comfortably when the user is away from home. If the user trusts the e-commerce platform and the security of the transaction with the department store or grocery store, the user will be more likely to respond to the beacon type trigger communication. This will cause the user It is more likely to continue to prefer his or her favorite merchants, thus enhancing the loyalty program of one or more merchants. One advantage of the system described herein is that the user does not have to carry and present a loyalty card to the merchant or provider, as this information can be stored on the user's mobile device. Alternatively, the information can be stored on the customer dashboard, the e-commerce server, a third party server, and the like. Obtaining the user's participation key may be exactly the trust of the user in the transaction processed by the beacon-assisted e-commerce platform.

For the convenience of the user, the user may wish to add one or more devices to the transaction permission platform. As such, in addition to the user's smart phone, the user may wish to make purchases via other mobile devices as well. These can include navigation devices, mobile personal digital assistants, laptops, palmtops, networked laptops, pagers, e-book readers, music players and the like, as well as family members, staff actions Device, etc. The person in need is the ability to communicate with the beacon system as described herein. Many of these devices are equipped with small screens to output data, questions, options, and the like to the user for their use in e-commerce. In one embodiment, the user logs into each additional device separately. As such, each device will be traceable to the same user, but each device will have a unique identity or identification number. In one example, the user's primary device, perhaps a smart phone, may have a unique identity equivalent to "Jones1." Other devices of the user can then be logged in and given unique identifications equivalent to "Jones 2" or "Jones 1-1".

Each device can function completely independently, and as such the user needs to have only a single device for making an e-commerce transaction. However, all such devices can be logged into the user and can be logged in separately. In this way, the user can identify each device separately and can track which procurement system is made with which device. In this way, the user can lend the smart phone to the user with permission to make a purchase family member. When the report of the user's account is presented, the user will see all of the transactions at a glance. In one embodiment, the e-commerce platform can encode each transaction with the device identification. If the account's report is identified using these devices, the user can immediately identify which purchase has been made by which device, and thus identify which family member made the purchase. Thus, even if there are several devices, the fee can be fully attributed to the account of the primary user.

This can help the collection or collection of rewards for loyalty programs. In addition, because such purchases are made with the transaction facilitation platform system, it is not necessary for the primary user or family member to carry a loyalty card or reward card for presentation when making a purchase or conducting a transaction. With the aid of the beacon, by triggering a process (as above), the transaction facilitating platform system continues to be useful to inform customers or potential customers of the special offers or coupons available to customers entering the particular beacon environment. . The same features discussed elsewhere, such as the ability to read machine readable labels, are applicable to each device used by each user.

In other specific aspects, the user may be a small business owner or manager. A plurality of mobile devices can be purchased, identified, encoded with unique identifiers, and distributed to employees or agents of the enterprise. Such devices may include smart phones, mobile phones, navigation devices, mobile personal digital assistants, laptops, palmtop computers, networked small laptops, pagers, e-book readers, music players and the like. Wait. When a purchase is made, the unique identifier allows for easy separation of the purchase quantity by each employee or agent, and the appropriate fee or bill can be attributed to the customer account or the customer account of the business.

As discussed elsewhere, the shortcomings of electronic transactions can be the destruction of the data, potentially exposing customer information to unauthorized people. This risk is minimized when communications, transactions and checkouts are minimized and highly secure and highly resistant to damage. An additional way to minimize these risks is to avoid storing customer data on systems accessible to parts of the e-commerce platform or transaction facilitation system described herein, such as on computers, servers and data storage. . This is made possible, as discussed elsewhere in this disclosure, by encrypting the user's private information and storing the information, or portions thereof, only on the user's mobile device itself. Alternatively, some information may be stored on the mobile device, and other information that needs to be completed may be stored elsewhere, such as the security server, credit card company or bank security of the merchant described herein. Server, or secure server on the e-commerce platform. For example, CVV information can be stored on the device while other sensitive information is stored separately. If some important customer and user data is not stored on the system, the data is less vulnerable to attack by unauthorized people. This level of security gives customers and businesses more confidence in the system and encourages the system to be more widely used.

An example of this advantage can occur when a user enters an area subject to beacon transmission, such as a store, location, or the like. The user can observe on his or her mobile phone that the launch of the application has occurred, for example by receiving a welcome message from a special merchant. The first reaction may be to turn off the launch; however, if the user is interested in the store or location and the user has confidence in the system, the user is more likely to hear the welcome message and allow the launch to proceed. For example, providing information about services or products that can be purchased from the particular provider. The software will store the customer information securely and reliably, and will also encrypt the information for sharing when the user wishes to share the material with the e-commerce platform or another wanted and authorized entity. For example, the software can only be decrypted on the e-commerce server. The information does not need to be shared with the merchant, and the merchant only needs to know that the transaction is authorized by the appropriate lending institution or business, for example, by all group sponsored and guaranteed credit card companies, banks or other financial institutions.

As such, all aspects of the software for the e-commerce platform, the e-commerce server, any third-party server, etc., will need to be synchronized with the method of processing the transactions. Software Development Kits (SDKs) that are provided to outside developers can assist with or prepare related applications for users or merchants and providers that form part of the e-commerce platform and the network.
