Abstract

A system and method provide efficient, secure and fast automation of order processing. The method includes initiating an order by wirelessly receiving data from a personal digital key (PDK). The method also includes receiving a biometric input and confirming the initiation of the order by authenticating the biometric input. In response to authenticating the biometric input, the order is processed. In another embodiment, the method of further includes automatically initiating an order completion by wirelessly receiving data from a PDK. The method further includes receiving a biometric input and confirming the order completion by authenticating the biometric input. In response to authenticating the biometric input, the order is completed. In yet another embodiment, the method further includes processing rewards based on the order

Claims

1. computer-implemented method for electronic order processing, comprising:

automatically initiating an order by wirelessly receiving data from a personal digital key (PDK);

receiving order information; and

in response to receiving the order information, processing the order.

2. The method of claim 1, comprising completing the order.

3. The method of claim 1, comprising processing rewards based on the received order information.

4. The method of claim 1, comprising presenting an order selection based on the received order information.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

automatically initiating an order completion by wirelessly receiving data from a PDK;

receiving a second biometric input for the order completion;

confirming the order completion by authenticating the second biometric input; and

in response to authenticating the second biometric input, completing the order.

16. The method of claim 6, wherein receiving the biometric input comprises performing at least one of a fingerprint scan, a retinal scan, an iris scan, a facial scan, a palm scan, a DNA analysis, a signature analysis, and a voice analysis.

17. The method of claim 6, wherein comprising establishing a secure communication channel between the PDK and a reader, and wherein a profile is sent from the PDK to the reader.

5. A computer-implemented method for electronic order processing, comprising:

automatically initiating an order by wirelessly receiving data from a personal digital key (PDK);

receiving a biometric input and order information;

confirming the initiation by authenticating the biometric input; and

in response to authenticating the biometric input, processing the order.

7. The method of claim 5 further comprising:

processing rewards based on the received order information.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein processing the rewards further maintaining a rewards count.

9. The method of claim 5, comprising presenting an order selection based on the received order information.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the order selection includes a favorite selection.

11. The method of claim 5, wherein processing the order includes receiving payment information.

12. The method of claim 5, comprising storing the data from the PDK, including customer information in a customer database.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising replicating the customer information from the customer database to additional databases.

14. The method of claim 5, wherein receiving the biometric input comprises performing at least one of a fingerprint scan, a retinal scan, an iris scan, a facial scan, a palm scan, a DNA analysis, a signature analysis, and a voice analysis.

15. The method of claim 5, comprising establishing a secure communication channel between the PDK and a reader, and wherein a profile is sent from the PDK to the reader.

18. A system for electronic order processing, comprising:

a customer interface device for wirelessly receiving data from a personal digital key (PDK);

a transactions server, adapted for communication with the customer interface device for initiating an order in response to wirelessly receiving the data from the PDK and processing the order;

19. The system of claim 18, further comprising:

a merchant interface device, adapted to communicate with the transactions server, for wirelessly receiving data from a personal digital key (PDK); and

wherein the transactions server is adapted for communication with the merchant interface device and for initiating an order completion.

20. The system of claim 18, further comprising:

a reader, adapted to communicate with the transaction server, for automatically uploading data from the PDK and receiving biometric input from a user.

21. The system of claim 18, wherein the transactions server further comprises an order processing module, adapted to communicate with the customer interface device, for receiving order information and processing the order.

22. The system of claim 19, wherein the transactions server further comprises an order completion module, adapted to communicate with the merchant interface device, for receiving order completion confirmation and completing the order.

23. The system of claim 21, wherein the transactions server further comprises a rewards processing module, adapted to communicate with the order processing module, for processing rewards based on the order.

24. The system of claim 19, further comprising a customer database for storing data including customer information.

25. The system of claim 24, wherein the data from the customer database is replicated to additional databases.

26. The system of claim 25 wherein the additional databases include a validation database, a central registry and a private registry.
