SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELECTIVELY IMPLEMENTING AN ELECTRONIC TRANSACTION BASED ON PROXIMITY DETECTION OF A USER DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240020734 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELECTIVELY IMPLEMENTING AN ELECTRONIC TRANSACTION BASED ON PROXIMITY DETECTION OF A USER DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that enables electronic transactions based on the proximity detection of a user device. The system includes a central server and a user device with a user interface (UI) for receiving parameters and communicating with the central server. The user device also has a location module for tracking its location by the central server. The system allows for the conditional pre-authorization of electronic transactions based on primary parameters (user device proximity to a location within a predefined time) and secondary parameters (bid amount and recipient).

  • The system enables electronic transactions based on the proximity detection of a user device.
  • The user device has a UI for receiving parameters and communicates with a central server.
  • The user device's location can be tracked by the central server.
  • Electronic transactions can be conditionally pre-authorized based on primary and secondary parameters.
  • Primary parameters include the user device's proximity to a location within a predefined time.
  • Secondary parameters include the bid amount and recipient for the electronic transaction.

Potential Applications:

  • Mobile payment systems that require proximity to a specific location for transaction authorization.
  • Auction platforms where bids are only valid if the user is within a certain distance of the auction location.
  • Access control systems that grant entry to a location based on the user's proximity.

Problems Solved:

  • Ensures that electronic transactions are only authorized if the user device is within a specific distance of a location.
  • Provides a mechanism to conditionally pre-authorize transactions based on both proximity and secondary parameters.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced security by requiring physical proximity for transaction authorization.
  • Increased convenience for users by allowing them to participate in transactions remotely.
  • Enables location-based bidding and access control systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system is provided for selectively implementing an electronic transaction based on proximity detection of a user device. the electronic transaction includes primary parameters in the form of the user device being within a distance of a location by a predefined time, and secondary parameters in the form of a bid amount and a bid recipient. the system includes a central server and the user device having a ui configured to receive secondary parameters and being in communication with the central server. the user device further includes a location module for selective location tracking of the user device by the central server. primary and secondary parameters are transmitted to the central server and the central server conditionally pre-authorizes the electronic transaction such that if the primary parameters are not met, the electronic transaction is implemented based on the secondary parameters.
