METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MOBILE PAYMENT APPLICATION SELECTION AND MANAGEMENT USING AN APPLICATION LINKER
First Claim
1. A method for initiating a transaction between a portable communication device and an access device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, a request for available applications located on the portable communication device from the access device;
determining, by the processor, application identifiers associated with applications on the portable communication device, wherein at least one of the application identifiers is associated with two or more of the applications; and
sending, by the processor, a list of available applications to the access device, the list of available applications including the determined application identifiers.

Abstract
An application linker system that manages a plurality of application identifiers associated with a plurality of payment applications present on a device is disclosed. The application linker may manage relationships between application identifiers and payment applications that are provisioned for secure storage on a device. For example, a transaction can be conducted between a portable communication device and an access device. The method includes receiving a request for available payment applications located on the portable communication device from the access device, determining application identifiers associated with payment applications on the device, and sending a list of available payment applications including the application identifiers to the access device. The payment applications store payment information associated with one or more consumer accounts. One of the application identifiers is associated with two or more payment applications.

16. A method for initiating a transaction using an application on a portable communication device, the method comprising:
-
identifying, by an access device, the presence of a portable communication device; sending, by the access device, a request for available applications to the portable communication device; receiving, by the access device, a list of the available applications from the portable communication device, the list including application identifiers, wherein at least one of the application identifiers is associated with two or more applications on the portable communication device; determining, by the access device, supported application identifiers from the list of the available applications; selecting, by the access device, an application identifier from the supported applications; and sending, by the access device, a selection message including the selected application identifier to the portable communication device in order to obtain information associated with the selected application identifier. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
