Abstract

A method includes obtaining, by a first computing device of a multi-part code system, a first portion of a code from a network computing device. The network computing device generated the first portion of the code and a second portion of the code from the code. The method further includes displaying the first portion of the code on a code display area of an interactive display of the first computing device and instructing a user of the first computing device to position the first computing device near the second portion of the code such that the first and second portions of the code align. When the first portion of the code is aligned with the second portion of the code, the method further includes producing the code and sending a finalize interaction notification to the network computing device. The finalize interaction notification includes information from the produced code.

Claims (57)

1. A method comprises:

obtaining, by a first computing device of a multi-part code system, a first portion of a code from a network computing device of the multi-part code system, wherein the first computing device is associated with the network computing device via a network application, wherein the network computing device generated the code for an interaction between the first computing device and a second computing device of the multi-part code system, wherein the network computing device generated the first portion of the code and a second portion of the code from the code, and wherein the first and second portions of the code are not individually readable by an optical scanner;

displaying, by the first computing device, the first portion of the code on a code display area of an interactive display of the first computing device;

capturing, by an optical scanner of the first computing device, the second portion of the code in the code display area for alignment, wherein movement of the first computing device allows the first portion of the code to align with the second portion of the code within the code display area;

producing, by the first computing device, the code based on the alignment; and

sending, by the first computing device, a finalize interaction notification to the network computing device, wherein the finalize interaction notification includes information from the produced code.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second computing device displays the second portion of the code on the interactive display of the second computing device.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprises:

scaling, by the first computing device, the second portion of the code in the code display area of the first computing device to align with the first portion of the code.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a third computing device associated with a user of the first computing device displays the second portion of the code on an interactive display of the third computing device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interaction includes one or more of:

a digital payment transaction;

an exchange of data;

an agreement;

a ticket verification; and

identity verification.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the network application includes a digital wallet application.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprises:

locking, by the first computing device, the first portion of the code in the code display area;

displaying, by the first computing device, a biometric scan request to verify identity of a user of the first computing device, wherein the first computing device includes one or more biometric scanning functions; and

when the identity of the user is confirmed:

unlocking, by the first computing device, the first portion of the code in the code display area.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the one or more biometric scanning functions includes one of:

a fingerprint scanner;

a retina scanner;

a facial identification scanner; and

an identifying feature scanner.

9. A first computing device of a multi-part code system, wherein the first computing device comprises:

an interface;

memory;

a processing module operably coupled to the memory and the interface, wherein the processing module is operable to:

obtain a first portion of a code from a network computing device of the multi-part code system, wherein the first computing device is associated with the network computing device via a network application, wherein the network computing device generated the code for an interaction between the first computing device and a second computing device of the multi-part code system, wherein the network computing device generated the first portion of the code and a second portion of the code from the code, and wherein the first and second portions of the code are not individually readable by an optical scanner;

display the first portion of the code on a code display area of an interactive display of the first computing device;

capture, via an optical scanner of the first computing device, the second portion of the code in the code display area for alignment, wherein movement of the first computing device allows the first portion of the code to align with the second portion of the code within the code display area;

produce the code based on the alignment; and

send a finalize interaction notification to the network computing device, wherein the finalize interaction notification includes information from the produced code.

10. The first computing device of claim 9 , wherein the second computing device displays the second portion of the code on the interactive display of the second computing device.

11. The first computing device of claim 9 , wherein the processing module is further operable further to:

scale the second portion of the code in the code display area of the first computing device to align with the first portion of the code.

12. The first computing device of claim 9 , wherein a third computing device associated with a user of the first computing device displays the second portion of the code on an interactive display of the third computing device.

13. The first computing device of claim 9 , wherein the interaction includes one or more of:

a digital payment transaction;

an exchange of data;

an agreement;

a ticket verification; and

identity verification.

14. The first computing device of claim 9 , wherein the network application includes a digital wallet application.

15. The first computing device of claim 9 , wherein the processing module is further operable to:

lock the first portion of the code in the code display area;

display a biometric scan request to verify identity of a user of the first computing device, wherein the first computing device includes one or more biometric scanning functions; and

when the identity of the user is confirmed:

unlock the first portion of the code in the code display area.

16. The first computing device of claim 15 , wherein the one or more biometric scanning functions includes one of:

a fingerprint scanner;

a retina scanner;

a facial identification scanner; and

an identifying feature scanner.
