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 for processing a payment based upon a digital pass comprising a group of identity attributes, first biometric data associated with a digital pass user in response to the digital pass user entering a public transportation system;

receiving, by the computer-based system, second biometric data associated with the digital pass user in response to the digital pass user exiting the public transportation system;

approving, by the computer-based system, public transportation fare bases upon the first biometric data and the second biometric data; and

transmitting, by the computer-based system, information based upon the digital pass.

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

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting, by the computer-based system, the information to 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 a merchant location which are suited to the digital pass user.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the items are selected based upon a public identity attribute associated with the digital pass user.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising transferring payment, by the computer-based system, from a transaction account associated with the digital pass user to the public transportation system.

6. (canceled)

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 for processing a payment based upon a digital pass comprising a group of identity attributes, cause the computer-based system to be capable of performing operations comprising:

receiving, by the computer-based system, first biometric data associated with a digital pass user in response to the digital pass user entering a public transportation system;

receiving, by the computer-based system, second biometric data associated with the digital pass user in response to the digital pass user exiting the public transportation system;

approving, the computer-based system, a public transportation fare based upon the first biometric data and the second biometric data; and

transmitting, by the computer-based system, information based upon the digital pass.

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

10. The article of claim 8, further comprising transmitting, by the computer-based system, the information to 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 a merchant location which are suited to the digital pass user.

12. The article of claim 11, wherein the items are selected based upon a public identity attribute associated with the digital pass user.

14. The article of claim 8, further comprising transferring payment, by the computer-based system, from a transaction account associated with the digital pass user to the public transportation system.

13. (canceled)

15. A system comprising:

a processor for processing a payment based upon a digital pass comprising a group of identity attributes,

a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor,

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

receiving, by the processor, first biometric data associated with a digital pass user in response to the digital pass user entering a public transportation system;

receiving, by the processor, second biometric data associated with the digital pass user in response to the digital pass user exiting the public transportation system;

approving, by the processor, a public transportation fare based upon the first biometric data and the second biometric data; and

transmitting, by the processor, information based upon the digital pass.

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

17. The system of claim 15, further comprising transmitting, by the processor, the information to at least one of:

goggles, spectacles, and a mobile communication device.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the information enables the at least one of:

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

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the items are selected based upon a public identity attribute associated with the digital pass user.

20. The system of claim 15, further comprising

transferring payment, by the processor, from a transaction account associated with the digital pass user to the public transportation system.
