Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for provisioning and/or authenticating credentials are provided. In one example embodiment, a financial institution system may be in communication with an electronic device and a merchant subsystem. The financial institution system may be configured to, inter alia, create a link between an actual commerce credential and a virtual commerce credential, provision the virtual commerce credential on the electronic device, after the virtual commerce credential is provisioned on the electronic device, receive a transaction request from the merchant subsystem, identify the virtual commerce credential from the received transaction request, and, in response to the identification of the virtual commerce credential, determine if the link between the actual commerce credential and the virtual commerce credential is authenticated for use in a financial transaction. Additional embodiments are also provided.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for provisioning credentials on an electronic device are provided. In one example embodiment, a secure platform system may be in communication with an electronic device and a financial institution subsystem. The secure platform system may be configured to, inter alia, detect a selection of a particular commerce credential, access communication mechanism data indicative of at least one communication mechanism of the device, where the at least one mechanism is configured to receive a communication on the device, transmit information to the financial subsystem, where the information includes the mechanism data and the selection of the particular commerce credential, and instruct the financial subsystem to provision the particular commerce credential in a disabled state on the device and communicate credential enablement data to the device using a particular communication mechanism of the at least one communication mechanism indicated by the communication mechanism data.
Abstract:
A system and method of locating “friends” having mobile devices connected to a network and associated with a user account is disclosed. The method includes sending a request to a mobile device, the mobile device determining its present geographic location and responding to the requestor with this information. This information may be in the form of a coordinate location such as a GPS location or it may be in the form of a name that the mobile device owner assigned to a particular area (e.g., “home”). Having this location information, a user is able to view the location of the friend that is associated with the mobile device.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for communicating electronic device secure element data over multiple paths for online payments are provided. In one example embodiment, a method includes, inter alia, at a commercial entity subsystem, receiving, from an electronic device, device transaction data that includes credential data indicative of a payment credential on the electronic device for funding a transaction with a merchant subsystem, accessing a transaction identifier, deriving a transaction key based on transaction key data that includes the accessed transaction identifier, transmitting, to one of the merchant subsystem and the electronic device, merchant payment data that includes a first portion of the credential data and the accessed transaction identifier, and sharing, with a financial institution subsystem using the transaction key, commercial payment data that includes a second portion of the credential data that is different than the first portion of the credential data. Additional embodiments are also provided.
Abstract:
In some implementations, a mobile device can receive identification information for a merchant store location. The mobile device can receive the identification information when the mobile device is proximate to the store location, for example. The mobile device can obtain graphical user interface (GUI) configuration data for the merchant store location based on the store location identification information. For example, the mobile device can obtain GUI content that has been customized for the merchant store location. The mobile device can configure a GUI of an application installed on the mobile device based on the obtained GUI configuration data. The mobile device can make the proximity application accessible to a user of the mobile device when the mobile device is near the store location.
Abstract:
Using electronic devices (such as cellular telephones) that communicate wirelessly, two individuals can make person-to-person payments. In particular, an individual using an electronic device may identify another proximate electronic device of a counterparty in a financial transaction, and may provide an encrypted payment packet to the other electronic device that includes: a financial credential for a financial account of the individual, a payment amount, and a payment sign. When the other electronic device receives the encrypted payment applet, the counterparty may accept the payment in the financial transaction specified by the encrypted payment packet. Then, the other electronic device may provide the encrypted payment packet and another encrypted payment packet (with a financial credential for a financial account of the counterparty, the payment amount and the opposite payment sign) to a third party that completes the financial transaction.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for using an online resource to manage credentials on an electronic device are provided. In one example embodiment, a method, at an electronic device, includes, inter alia, receiving account data via an online resource, accessing commerce credential status data from a secure element of the electronic device, providing initial credential management option data via the online resource based on the received account data and based on the accessed commerce credential status data, in response to the providing, receiving a selection of an initial credential management option via the online resource, and changing the status of a credential on the secure element based on the received selection. Additional embodiments are also provided.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for causing a file to be sent from a source device over a network to one or more destination devices. An intermediary receives a notification of a file and determines which destination device(s) are to retrieve the file. The intermediary may determine the destination device(s) based on one or more attributes of the file. The intermediary may cause the file to be stored in persistent storage that is maintained by a separate storage service. The intermediary may cause the file to be deleted after a particular period of time. The source device may send multiple versions of a file to the intermediary, which determines which destination device is to receive which version. The file may be a digital image and a destination device may be a device that displays a slideshow of digital images while the destination device receives the digital image over a network.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for using an online resource to manage reloadable credentials on an electronic device are provided. In one example embodiment, a method, at an electronic device, includes, inter alia, receiving selection data via an online resource, where the selection data may be indicative of a particular credential applet stored on a secure element of the electronic device, in response to the receiving the selection data, accessing validation data from the particular credential applet on the secure element, transmitting initialization results comprising the accessed validation data to a remote subsystem associated with the online resource, in response to the transmitting, receiving reload data from the remote subsystem, and adjusting a balance of the particular credential applet based on the received reload data. Additional embodiments are also provided.
