Abstract

Systems and methods of enabling a client account transaction via a client account application on a mobile device via an augmented reality or virtual reality device are provided. A computer-implemented method includes establishing a wireless connection between the devices and authenticating a user. Authenticating the user includes receiving a prompt for authentication information from the mobile device, detecting a selection of authentication information, transmitting the authentication information to the mobile device, and receiving a notification from the mobile device that the authentication information was verified. The method further includes receiving display data comprising one or more input fields associated with the client account application; displaying a visual environment based on the display data; detecting a selection of an input field; and causing execution of the selection by transmitting the selection to the mobile device.

Claims (79)

1. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:

establishing, by a variable display device, a wireless connection between the variable display device and a mobile device, the mobile device comprising a client account application;

authenticating, by the variable display device, a user of the variable display device, wherein authenticating the user comprises:

receiving, by the variable display device, a prompt for authentication information from the mobile device in response to establishing the wireless connection;

transmitting, by the variable display device, the authentication information to the mobile device in response to detecting a selection of authentication information; and

receiving, by the variable display device, a notification from the mobile device comprising an indication of verification of the authentication information;

receiving, by the variable display device, display data from the mobile device in response to the authentication of the user, wherein the display data comprises one or more input fields associated with the client account application;

displaying, by the variable display device, a visual environment based on the display data;

detecting, by the variable display device, a selection of one or more input fields associated with the client account application within the visual environments; and

causing, by the variable display device, execution of the selection by transmitting the selection to the mobile device.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the visual environment is one of an augmented reality environment or a virtual reality environment, and wherein detecting the selection of the one or more input fields includes detecting at least one of a physical gesture or a vocal command.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein authenticating the user further comprises:

receiving, by the variable display device, a prompt for a one-time-passcode (OTP);

receiving, by the variable display device, a OTP from the user of the variable display device;

transmitting, by the variable display device, the OTP to a provider institution computing system; and

receiving, by the variable display device, a notification indicating a verification of the OTP by the provider institution computing system.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein authenticating the user of the variable display device further comprises:

receiving, by the variable display device, an identifier associated with the mobile device via a short-range wireless communication between the variable display device and the mobile device; and

receiving, by the variable display device, an indication that the identifier received from the short-range wireless communication matches an identifier associated with the mobile device comprising the client account application.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein authenticating the user of the variable display device further comprises:

receiving, by the variable display device, information regarding a transaction card associated with a client account via a short-range wireless communication between the variable display device and the transaction card; and

receiving, by the variable display device, an indication that the information regarding the transaction card received from the short-range wireless communication matches information regarding a transaction card associated with the client account application of the mobile device.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the authentication information comprises at least one of a biometric, a personal identification number, a passcode, or a password.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating, by the variable display device, a mapping of the display data to the visual environment; and

generating, by the variable display device, augmented display data, wherein the augmented display data comprise the display data and the selection, such that the selection is embedded onto the display data and is associated with the one or more input fields.

8. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions therein that, when executed by at least one processor of a variable display device, cause operations comprising:

establishing a wireless connection between the variable display device and a mobile device, the mobile device comprising a client account application;

authenticating a user of the variable display device, wherein authenticating the user comprises:

receiving a prompt for authentication information from the mobile device in response to establishing the wireless connection,

transmitting the authentication information to the mobile device in response to detecting a selection of authentication information, and

receiving a notification from the mobile device comprising an indication of verification of the authentication information;

receiving display data from the mobile device in response to the authentication of the user, wherein the display data comprises one or more input fields associated with the client account application;

generating and displaying a visual environment based on the display data;

detecting a selection of one or more input fields associated with the client account application within the visual environment; and

causing execution of the selection by transmitting the selection to the mobile device.

9. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein authenticating the user further comprises:

receiving a prompt for a one-time-passcode (OTP);

receiving an OTP;

transmitting the OTP to a provider institution computing system; and

receiving a notification indicating a verification of the OTP by the provider institution computing system.

10. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein authenticating the user of the variable display device further includes operations comprising:

receiving an identifier associated with the mobile device via a short-range wireless communication between the variable display device and the mobile device; and

receiving an indication that the identifier received from the short-range wireless communication matches an identifier associated with the mobile device comprising the client account application.

11. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein authenticating the user of the variable display device further includes operations comprising:

receiving information regarding a transaction card associated with a client account via a short-range wireless communication between the variable display device and the transaction card; and

receiving an indication that the information regarding the transaction card received from the short-range wireless communication matches information regarding a transaction card associated with the client account application of the mobile device.

12. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the authentication information comprises at least one of a biometric, a personal identification number, a passcode, or a password.

13. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause operations comprising:

generating a mapping of the display data to the visual environment; and

generating augmented display data comprising the display data and the selection, wherein the selection is included with the display data and is associated with the one or more input fields.

14. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the visual environment is one of an augmented reality environment or a virtual reality environment.

15. A system comprising:
