MULTI-PATH COMMUNICATION OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE SECURE ELEMENT DATA FOR ONLINE PAYMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18241844 titled 'MULTI-PATH COMMUNICATION OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE SECURE ELEMENT DATA FOR ONLINE PAYMENTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for securely transmitting payment data from an electronic device to a merchant and a financial institution for online payments.

  • The method involves receiving device transaction data from an electronic device, which includes payment credential data.
  • A transaction identifier is accessed and used to derive a transaction key.
  • Merchant payment data, including a portion of the payment credential data and the transaction identifier, is transmitted to either the merchant or the electronic device.
  • Commercial payment data, including a different portion of the payment credential data, is shared with a financial institution using the transaction key.

Potential applications of this technology include:

  • Online payment systems
  • Mobile payment applications
  • E-commerce platforms

Problems solved by this technology include:

  • Ensuring secure transmission of payment data
  • Protecting payment credentials from unauthorized access
  • Simplifying the payment process for users

Benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced security for online payments
  • Improved user experience with simplified payment process
  • Efficient and reliable communication of payment data between different subsystems


Original Abstract Submitted

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.
