Hands-free transaction tokens via payment processor
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method to conduct automatic, hands-free transactions by transmitting transaction tokens to merchant computing systems based on beacon identifiers and transaction tokens received from user computing devices, comprising:
- generating, by the payment processing computing system, a beacon identifier associated with a merchant computing system;
communicating, by the payment processing computing system, the beacon identifier to a merchant computing system computing device associated with the merchant computing system;
receiving, by the payment processing computing system, an automatic communication from a hands-free payment application on a user computing device, the communication comprising a transaction token, an identification of a user account associated with a user, and the beacon identifier;
verifying, by the payment processing computing system, the transaction token, wherein the transaction token is verified by comparing the received beacon identifier to a list of approved beacon identifiers;
transmitting, by the payment processing computing system, the transaction token to the merchant computing system computing device associated with the beacon identifier;
after transmitting the transaction token to the merchant computing system computing device, receiving, by the payment processing computing system, from the merchant computing system computing device, a transaction request, the transaction request comprising the transaction token and transaction data associated with a purchase transaction;
verifying, by the payment processing computing system, that the transaction token received from the merchant computing system computing device matches the transaction token received from the a-hands-free payment application on the user computing device; and
based on the matched transaction token, authorizing, by the payment processing computing system, the transaction between the user account and the merchant computing system based on the received transaction token and transaction request.

Abstract
Conducting hands-free transactions comprises a server at a payment processing system, a user computing device, and a merchant computing device. The payment processing system registers a merchant system as a hands-free payment participant and provides a beacon identifier. The payment processing system receives a communication from a hands-free payment application on a user computing device, the communication comprising a transaction token, an identification of a user account, and the beacon identifier received by the user computing device via a wireless communication from a device associated with the merchant system and transmits the transaction token to the merchant system computing device. The payment processing system receives from the merchant system computing device, a transaction request, the transaction request comprising the token and transaction data associated with the transaction request and conducts the transaction between the user account and the merchant system based on the received token and transaction request.
