Abstract

A system, a medium, and a method are provided to send compensation data to devices at one or more locations where the data is retrievable. For example, a communication interface of a server device accesses request data, where the request data includes an indication of one or more locations where a compensation amount is retrievable. A compensation data component generates compensation data based on the indication of the one or more locations where the compensation amount is retrievable. A location component determines a location of a client device that corresponds to the one or more locations. A transceiver transmits the compensation data to the client device based on the determined location of the client device that corresponds to the one or more locations.

Claims (40)

1. A system, comprising:

a non-transitory memory; and

one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a first client device, a request to transmit a compensation amount from a first user account with a payment service provider without specifying a recipient account with the payment service provider;

determining a first location of the first client device based on location data obtained from a global positioning system of the first client device;

generating compensation data based on the request and the first location of the first client device at the time the request is made, wherein the compensation data comprises the compensation amount and the first location where the compensation amount is retrievable;

determining that a location of a second client device corresponds to the first location based on location data obtained from a global positioning system of the second client device, wherein the second client device is associated with a second user account with the payment service provider;

determining that no other client devices are located at the first location;

in response to a determination that the location of the second client device corresponds to the first location and no other client devices are located at the first location, automatically and anonymously transferring the compensation amount from the first user account to the second user account.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise transmitting the compensation data to the second client device without an indication of the first user account, wherein the second client device is authorized to access the second user account.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the location data further comprises at least one of an address or a location name corresponding to the first location.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the request includes an indication of a given radius, and wherein the compensation amount is limited to be used by a user of the second user account within the given radius of the first location.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the request includes an indication of one or more merchant accounts, and wherein the compensation amount is limited to be used through the second user account with the one or more merchant accounts.

6. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a first client device, a request to transmit a compensation amount from a first user account with a payment service provider without specifying a recipient account with the payment service provider;

determining a first location of the first client device based on location data obtained from a global positioning system of the first client device;

generating compensation data based on the request and the first location of the first client device at the time the request is made, wherein the compensation data comprises the compensation amount and the first location where the compensation amount is retrievable;

determining that a location of a second client device corresponds to the first location based on location data obtained from a global positioning system of the second client device, wherein the second client device is associated with a second user account with the payment service provider;

determining that no other client devices are located at the first location;

in response to a determination that the location of the second client device corresponds to the first location and no other client devices are located at the first location, automatically and anonymously transferring the compensation amount from the first user account to the second user account.

7. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the request comprises at least one of a keypad input, a voice input, or a selection input.

8. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the second client device is authorized to access the second user account.

9. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the request includes an indication of a given radius, and wherein the compensation amount is limited to be used by a user of the second user account within the given radius of the first location.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the request includes an indication of one or more merchant accounts, and wherein the compensation amount is limited to be used through the second user account with the one or more merchant accounts.

11. A method comprising:

receiving, from a first client device, a request to transmit a compensation amount from a first user account with a payment service provider without specifying a recipient account with the payment service provider;

determining a first location of the first client device based on location data obtained from a global positioning system of the first client device;

generating compensation data based on the request and the first location of the first client device at the time the request is made, wherein the compensation data comprises the compensation amount and the first location where the compensation amount is retrievable;

determining that a location of a second client device corresponds to the first location based on location data obtained from a global positioning system of the second client device, wherein the second client device is associated with a second user account with the payment service provider;

determining that no other client devices are located at the first location;

in response to a determination that the location of the second client device corresponds to the first location and no other client devices are located at the first location, automatically and anonymously transferring the compensation amount from the first user account to the second user account.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise transmitting the compensation data to the second client device without an indication of the first user account.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the second client device is authorized to access the second user account.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the request includes an indication of a given radius, and wherein the compensation amount is limited to be used by a user of the second user account within the given radius of the first location.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the request includes an indication of one or more merchant accounts, and wherein the compensation amount is limited to be used through the second user account with the one or more merchant accounts.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the request comprises at least one of a keypad input, a voice input, or a selection input.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the location data further comprises at least one of an address or a location name corresponding to the first location.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise transmitting the compensation data to the second client device without an indication of the first user account.

19. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the location data further comprises at least one of an address or a location name corresponding to the first location.

20. The system of claim 1 , wherein the request comprises at least one of a keypad input, a voice input, or a selection input.
