Abstract

A number of sets of methods, systems, and apparatuses applicable to transactions are disclosed. One set includes transaction systems configured to reconcile a transaction among multiple provider accounts or user accounts via derived object attributes and reconciliation matrices. Another set includes methods of reconciling payment of a coupon. Another set includes transaction apparatuses configured to derive object attributes from digital representations to identify purchasable items. Still another set includes methods of mitigating risk of transaction fraud.

Claims (37)

1. A mobile augmented reality device, the device comprising:

an object recognition engine configured to derive at least one object attribute associated with a real-world object based on image data of the real-world object;

an image recognition system configured to track the real-world object in real-time and provide an augmented reality overlay on the real-world object;

a display configured to display the tracked real-world object and the augmented reality overlay; and

a transaction reconciliation engine coupled with the object recognition engine and comprising a memory storing reconciliation rules, the transaction reconciliation engine configured to:

provide data regarding a mapping, via the reconciliation rules, to a first account and a second account, the first account comprising a rewards progr\am account.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the second account is not a rewards program account.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the augmented reality overlay comprises at least one of a 2D content and 3D content.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the real-world object comprises a printed media object.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the printed media object comprises at least one of the following: a magazine, a newspaper, and a coupon.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the transaction comprises a payment for a service.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the reconciling further comprises issuing a check for at least one of the first amount and the second amount.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the reconciling further comprises crediting at least one of the first account and the second account.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the reconciling further comprises debiting at least one of the first account and the second account.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one object attribute includes at least one of the following: a time, a price, a location, a position, an orientation, a color, a size, a quantity, a quality, a shape, an availability, a make, a model, a cost, a message, metadata, a logo, an account number, a biometric, an image, and audio data.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and the second account comprises one of the following types of accounts: a provider account, a user account, a loyally account, a credit card account, a bank account, a frequent flyer account, a virtual world account, a game account, and a subscription account.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the reconciliation rules comprise a reconciliation matrix.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the reconciliation matrix comprises a mapping of the at least one object attribute, based on a recognition signature, to at least the first account and the second account.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the recognition signature comprises attribute values related to the at least one object attribute.

15. The device of claim 1 , wherein the transaction reconciliation engine is further configured to authenticate the transaction as a function of transaction attributes.

16. The device of claim 15 , wherein the transaction attributes include at least one of the following: a location, a time, a make, a model, a consumer ID, a device ID, a motion, a fingerprint, a signature, and a voice.

17. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a cell phone that includes the recognition engine.

18. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a cell phone that includes the transaction reconciliation engine.

19. The device of claim 1 , wherein the entity includes at least one of the following: a user, a coupon provider, a vendor, a cell phone carrier, a bank, and a third-party exchange.

20. The device of claim 1 , wherein the reconciliation rules operate as a function of a vector of attribute values.

21. The device of claim 20 , wherein the vector of attributes values includes values for at least one of the following: an account holder identity, an image, a name, an age, an identification number, a bar code, a QR code, a location, an authorization, a motion, a finger print, a signature, and a voice.

22. The device of claim 1 , wherein the reconciliation comprises a medical payment for a medical procedure, and wherein at least one of the first entity and the second entity are healthcare providers.

23. An augmented reality method, the method comprising:

deriving, by an object recognition engine, at least one object attribute associated with a real-world object based on image data of the real-world object;

tracking, by an image recognition system, the real-world object in real-time and providing an augmented reality overlay on the real-world object;

displaying, by a display, the tracked real-world object and the augmented reality overlay; and

providing, by a transaction reconciliation engine, data regarding a mapping, via reconciliation rules, to a first account and a second account, the first account comprising a rewards program account.

24. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform one or more steps comprising:

deriving at least one object attribute associated with a real-world object based on image data of the real-world object;

tracking the real-world object in real-time and providing an augmented reality overlay on the real-world object;

displaying the tracked real-world object and the augmented reality overlay; and

providing data regarding a mapping, via reconciliation rules, to a first account and a second account, the first account comprising a rewards program account.
