Charity donation system
First Claim
1. A charitable donation system comprising:
- a computer server having a memory storing charitable organization data and user data;
a collection device coupled to the computer server; and
a user computing device coupled to the computer server separate from the coupling of the collection device with the computer server, the computer server programmed to;
receive from the collection device a signal that the collection device is active and ready to accept donations, automatically access memory to confirm that a charitable organization associated with the collection device is a legitimate charitable organization, and automatically generate and send for auto-execution instructions to establish a geofence around the collection device;
receive a signal from the collection device that a user computing device of the system has entered the geofence;
automatically establish a direct connection between the server and the user computing device, separate from the coupling of the collection device with the computer server, in response to the user computing device accessing the system within the geofence;
communicate the verification to the user computing device through the established direct connection between the server and the user computing device that the charitable organization associated with the collection device is a legitimate charitable organization in response to the user computing device accessing the system within the geofence;
receive from the user computing device through the established direct connection between the server and the user computing device a signal activating a donation while the user computing device is within the geofence, the signal including user data and donation data, including a user identifying information, and a donation amount; and
automatically store the user identifying information and the donation amount.

Abstract
A charitable donation system is provided. The system includes a computer server having a memory storing charitable organization data and user data, a collection device coupled to the computer server, and a user computing device coupled to the computer server. The system establishes a geofence around the collection device. When a user computing device enters the geofence, a connection between the server and the user computing device is established. The computer server may be programmed to receive from the user computing device a signal activating a donation, the signal including user data and donation data, including a user identifying information, a donation amount, and the payment instrument initiating the payment amount. The computer server may automatically process the payment and send a communication to the collection device to account for the donation amount.
