Abstract

A system, method, and article of manufacture for generating a digital pass is disclosed. The method may comprise retrieving a plurality of identity attributes, and grouping a subset of identity attributes in the plurality of identity attributes to generate at least one digital pass. The method may further comprise grouping a subset of static identity attributes and a subset of dynamic identity attributes to generate a digital pass.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a computer-based system comprising a merchant server system, biometric data acquired at a merchant location and an identity attribute associated with a digital pass, wherein the digital pass comprises a group of identity attributes associated with a digital pass user, and wherein the biometric data is associated with the digital pass user;

retrieving, by the computer-based system, the identity attribute based upon the biometric data;

filtering, by the computer-feared system, information associated with an item to be displayed to the digital pass user, wherein the information is based upon the identity attribute; and

displaying, by the computer-based system, the information associated with the item on a device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the information comprises an offer tailored to the digital pass user.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the device comprises at least one of:

goggles, spectacles, and a mobile communication device.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the information enables the at least one of:

goggles, spectacles, and the mobile communication device to highlight items in the merchant location which are suited to the digital pass user,

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the identity attribute is a public identity attribute.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, by the computer-based system, information based upon location data of the digital pass user.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, by the computer-based system, an inquiry into whether the digital pass user wishes to pay a toll at a toll booth that a digital pass server system determines the digital pass user has encountered based upon the biometric data associated with the digital pass user.

8. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system comprising a merchant server system, cause the computer-based system to perform operations comprising:

receiving, by the computer-based system, information based upon biometric data acquired at a merchant location and an identity attribute associated with a digital pass, wherein the digital pass comprises a group of identity attributes associated with a digital pass user, and wherein the biometric data, is associated with the digital pass user;

retrieving by the computer-based system, the identity attribute based upon the biometric data;

filtering. by the computer-based system, information associated with an item to be displayed o the digital pass user, wherein the information is based upon the identity and and

displaying, by the computer-based system, the information associated with the item on a device.

9. The article of claim 8, wherein the information comprises an offer tailored to the digital pass user.

10. The article of claim 8, wherein the device comprises at least one of:

goggles, spectacles, and a mobile communication device.

11. The article of claim 10, wherein the information enables the at least one of:

goggles, spectacles, and the mobile communication device to highlight items in the merchant location which are suited to the digital pass user.

12. The article of claim 8, wherein the identity attribute is a public identity attribute.

13. The article of claim 8, further comprising receiving, by the computer-based system, information based upon location data of the digital pass user.

14. The article of claim 8, further comprising receiving, by the computer-based system, an inquiry into whether the digital pass user wishes to pay a toll at a toll booth that a digital pass server system determines the digital pass user has encountered based upon the biometric data associated with the digital pass user.

15. A system comprising:

a processor comprising a merchant server system;

a tangible, non-transitory memory communicating with the processor,

the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising;

receiving, by the processor, information based upon biometric data acquired at a merchant location and an identity attribute associated with a digital pass, wherein the digital pass comprises a group of identity attributes associated with a digital pass user, and wherein the biometric data is associated with the digital pass user;

retrieving, by the processor, the identity attribute based upon the biometric data;

filtering, by the processor, information associated with an item to be displayed to the digital pass user, wherein the information is based upon the identity attribute; and

displaying, by the processor, the information associated with the item on a device.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the information comprises an offer tailored to the digital pass user.

17. The system of claim 15, wherein the device comprises at least one of:

goggles, spectacles, and a mobile communication device, and wherein the information enables the at least one of;

goggles, spectacles, and the mobile communication device to highlight items in the merchant location which are suited to the digital pass user,

18. The system of claim 15, wherein the identity attribute is a public identity attribute.

19. The system of claim 15, further comprising receiving, by the processor, information based upon the location data of the digital pass user.

20. The system of claim 15, further comprising receiving, by the processor, an inquiry into whether the digital pass user wishes to pay a toll at a toll booth that a digital pass server system determines is the digital pass user has encountered based upon the biometric data associated with the digital pass user.
