Abstract

Claims (39)

1 . A computer-based mobile transaction system comprising:

at least one non-transitory computer readable memory storing software instructions; and

at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and that performs the following operations upon execution of the software instructions:

deriving at least a location attribute of a mobile device from a digital representation of a real-world scene;

generating a recognition signature comprising at least the location attribute;

identifying at least one virtual game good offered by at least one merchant based on at least the location attribute of the mobile device;

obtaining, based at least in part on the location attribute, a reconciliation matrix comprising a mapping of a key value associated with the recognition signature to at least one merchant account related to the at least one virtual game good and the at least one merchant, wherein the reconciliation matrix comprises a data structure comprising at least one provisioned template from the at least one merchant; and

enabling a transaction with respect to the at least one virtual game good between the at least one merchant account of the at least one merchant based on a merchant identifier and at least one user account associated with the mobile device according to the at least one provisioned template from the at least one merchant using the reconciliation matrix.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the digital representation of the real-world scene comprises a location.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the location comprises a GPS location.

4 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the location comprises a relative location.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the virtual game good comprise a virtual currency.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the virtual game good comprises a badge.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the virtual game good comprises a game point.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the virtual game good comprises a virtual coupon.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further include generating the virtual coupon based on the at least one attribute.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further include deriving a set of attributes, including the location attribute, from the digital representation.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the operations further include identifying the recognition signature based on the set of attributes.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further include mapping the recognition signature to the reconciliation matrix.

13 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the reconciliation matrix is obtained based at least in part on a time.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the time comprises an absolute time.

15 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the time comprises a relative time.

16 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further include causing the mobile device to display an augmented reality overlay including the virtual game good.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the augmented reality overlay tracks, in real-time, relative to an identified real-world object in the scene.

18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the augmented reality overlay comprises an augmented reality 3D model.

19 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the transaction comprises a purchase of the virtual game good.

20 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one user account is represented by a user ID.

21 . A computer-implemented method of reconciling one or more mobile location-based transactions, comprising:

deriving at least a location attribute of a mobile device from a digital representation of a real-world scene;

generating a recognition signature comprising at least the location attribute;

identifying at least one virtual game good offered by at least one merchant based on at least the location attribute of the mobile device;

obtaining, based at least in part on the location attribute, a reconciliation matrix comprising a mapping of a key value associated with the recognition signature to at least one merchant account related to the at least one virtual game good and the at least one merchant, wherein the reconciliation matrix comprises a data structure comprising at least one provisioned template from the at least one merchant; and

enabling a transaction with respect to the at least one virtual game good between the at least one merchant account of the at least one merchant based on a merchant identifier and at least one user account associated with the mobile device according to the at least one provisioned template from the at least one merchant using the reconciliation matrix.

22 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium including at least one computer readable memory storing one or more computer-readable instructions that, upon execution by at least one processor coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium, perform the following operations:

deriving at least a location attribute of a mobile device from a digital representation of a real-world scene;

generating a recognition signature comprising at least the location attribute;

identifying at least one virtual game good offered by at least one merchant based on at least the location attribute of the mobile device;

obtaining, based at least in part on the location attribute, a reconciliation matrix comprising a mapping of a key value associated with the recognition signature to at least one merchant account related to the at least one virtual game good and the at least one merchant, wherein the reconciliation matrix comprises a data structure comprising at least one provisioned template from the at least one merchant; and

enabling a transaction with respect to the at least one virtual game good between the at least one merchant account of the at least one merchant based on a merchant identifier and at least one user account associated with the mobile device according to the at least one provisioned template from the at least one merchant using the reconciliation matrix.
