Electronic transaction verification system with biometric authentication
An electronic transaction verification system for use with transaction tokens such as checks, credit cards, debit cards, and smart cards that gathers and transmits information about the transaction token and biometric data. Customers can be enrolled in the system by receiving customer information that includes at least a biometric datum, associating the received customer information with a transaction instrument issued to the customers and storing the received customer information and the issued transaction instrument information in a database for future reference.
1. A system configured to process a payment transaction wirelessly with a reader associated at a point-of-sale location, the system comprising a computing device comprising:
a scanner configured to capture facial features and a transaction token, wherein the transaction token is issued on behalf of an issuing entity; and
one or more hardware processors configured to:
receive biometric data corresponding to a user's feature from the scanner;
compare the received biometric data with a stored biometric data associated with the user; and
transmit, wirelessly to the reader directly from the computing device, a transaction token information representative of the transaction token based on the comparison indicating an approval of the received biometric data;
wherein the transaction token information is representative of the transaction token, wherein the transaction token information is received responsive to a digitization of the transaction token with the scanner prior to processing the payment transaction and stored on a non-transitory memory of the computing device.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware processors are further configured to receive a transaction comparison result conducted by a transaction validating entity to accept or reject a transaction and display a confirmation of the transaction based on the transaction comparison result.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transaction token is a physical object comprising one of a check, a debit card, a loyalty card, a food stamp, a token, or an account.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transaction token comprises a credit card.
5. The system of claim 1 , further comprises a token reading device configured to read or scan an indication of the transaction token.
6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a second scanner configured to detect a fingerprint, wherein the fingerprint is used for authenticating some payment transactions.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the facial features comprise a retinal scan.
8. A computing device configured to enable wireless radio frequency electronic payment transaction between the computing device and a reader associated at a point-of-sale location, the computing device comprising one or more hardware processors configured to process a transaction, said processing comprising:
receiving encoded transaction token information representative of a transaction token responsive to a digitization of the transaction token captured with an integrated scanner;
storing the received encoded transaction token information on the computing device;
receiving biometric data corresponding to a user's biometric feature;
comparing the received biometric data with a stored biometric data associated with the user; and
transmitting, to the reader wirelessly from the computing device, the encoded transaction token information representative of the stored transaction token based on the comparison indicating an approval of the received biometric data.
9. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more hardware processors are further configured to receive a transaction comparison result conducted by a transaction validating entity to accept or reject a transaction and display a confirmation of the transaction based on the transaction comparison result.
10. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the transaction token is a physical object comprising one of a check, a debit card, a loyalty card, a food stamp, a token, or an account.
11. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the transaction token comprises a credit card.
12. The computing device of claim 8 , further comprises a token reading device configured to read or scan an indication of the transaction token.
13. The computing device of claim 8 , further comprising a second scanner configured to detect a fingerprint.
14. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the integrated scanner is configured to detect a facial feature.
15. A method of processing a payment transaction wirelessly between a computing device and a reader associated at a point-of-sale location, the method comprising:
receiving encoded transaction token information representative of a transaction token responsive to a digitization of a transaction token captured with an integrated scanner;
storing the received transaction token information on the computing device;
receiving biometric data corresponding to a user's biometric feature;
comparing the received biometric data with a stored biometric data associated with the user; and
transmitting, to the reader wirelessly from the computing device, the transaction token information representative of the stored transaction token based on the comparison indicating an approval of the received biometric data.
16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising receiving a transaction comparison result conducted by a transaction validating entity to accept or reject a transaction and displaying a confirmation of the transaction based on the transaction comparison result.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the transaction token is a physical object comprising one of a check, a debit card, a loyalty card, a food stamp, a token, or an account.
18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the transaction token comprises a credit card.
19. The method of claim 15 , further comprising a second scanner configured to detect a fingerprint.
20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the integrated scanner is configured to detect a facial feature.
21. A system configured to process a payment transaction wirelessly with a reader associated at a point-of-sale location, the system comprising a computing device comprising:
a first scanner configured to capture a transaction token, wherein the transaction token is issued on behalf of an issuing entity;
a second scanner configured to capture a fingerprint feature of a user; and
one or more hardware processors configured to:
receive biometric data corresponding to the fingerprint feature from the scanner;
compare the received biometric data with a stored biometric data associated with the user; and
transmit, wirelessly to the reader directly from the computing device, a transaction token information representative of the transaction token based on the comparison indicating an approval of the received biometric data;
wherein the transaction token information is representative of the transaction token, wherein the transaction token information is received responsive to a digitization of the transaction token with the first scanner prior to processing the payment transaction and stored on a non-transitory memory of the computing device.
22. The system of claim 21 , wherein the one or more hardware processors are further configured to receive a transaction comparison result conducted by a transaction validating entity to accept or reject a transaction and display a confirmation of the transaction based on the transaction comparison result.
23. The system of claim 21 , wherein the transaction token is a physical object comprising one of a check, a debit card, a loyalty card, a food stamp, a token, or an account.
24. The system of claim 21 , wherein the transaction token comprises a credit card.
