Method for carrying out financial transactions using user terminal
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11907918B2) outlines a method for conducting transactions with a merchant terminal using a user terminal. The method involves receiving the merchant's identifier and offer identification through various interfaces such as scanning a code with the camera, Bluetooth interface, or contactless interface of the user terminal. The user terminal decodes the received information, including the transaction amount, and generates a credit transaction. This transaction includes location data obtained from a GPS device or mobile network, encrypted using a secured processor, and transmitted to a third-party transaction management server. Importantly, the user's bank account data is not shared with the merchant or their terminal, ensuring privacy and security.
Furthermore, the patent includes details about the user terminal's configuration, which includes interfaces like a camera, Bluetooth, or contactless interface, along with a non-transitory computer-readable medium and a processor. The user terminal is capable of decoding information, generating credit transactions, and transmitting them to the transaction management server securely. The method also involves testing the validity of the offer based on the location of the user terminal concerning the offer's associated place. Additionally, the transaction management server can identify the merchant terminal using the decoded merchant's identifier, enhancing the security and efficiency of the transaction process outlined in the patent.
