Method and system for facilitation of wireless e-commerce transactions
DCFirst Claim
1. A method for facilitating a wireless transaction, the wireless transaction defined by a purchase action with respect to a product or service, and a fulfillment action associated with the purchase action, the fulfillment action associated with personal bodily entry into or through a physical structure using a wireless communication device, comprising:
- at a first time, receiving a wireless transaction request from a transaction requester seeking, at a second time, personal bodily entry into or through the physical structure using the wireless communications device, the wireless transaction request initiating a purchase action with respect to the product or service over a wireless communication link;
in response to the wireless transaction request and an approval of the purchase action with respect to the product or service, receiving over the wireless communication link, by the wireless communication device, a first transaction code capable of being optically scanned for authorizing the fulfillment action, the first transaction code being a two dimensional (2D) image that encodes information in two dimensions;
at the second time, optically scanning the first transaction code from the visual display of the wireless communication device to permit the personal bodily entry into or through the physical structure to partially complete the wireless transaction;
receiving over the wireless communication link, by the wireless communication device, a second transaction code capable of being optically scanned; and
at a third time distinct from the first time and the second time, optically scanning the second transaction code from the visual display of the wireless communication device to complete the wireless transaction.

Abstract
A method for facilitating a wireless transaction includes communicating a transaction request from a wireless communication device to a transaction apparatus and communicating a spoken authentication code from the wireless communication device to the transaction apparatus. After the spoken authentication code is authenticated, a transaction code is received by the wireless communication device. After receiving the transaction code, the transaction code is displayed on and optically scanned from a visual display of the wireless communication device.

28. A system for facilitating a wireless transaction using a wireless communication device that receives and displays one or more transaction codes, comprising:
-
a first subsystem; receiving, at least in part over a wireless communication link, a wireless transaction request from a transaction requester, the wireless transaction request associated with a wireless transaction that begins with a purchase action with respect to a product or service, and that concludes with a multi-stage fulfillment action associated with the purchase action, the fulfillment action including personal bodily entry into or through a physical structure using the wireless communication device; verifying an identity associated with the transaction requester; approving the purchase action with respect to the product or service; and communicating a transaction code to the wireless communication device, the transaction code being a two dimensional (2D) image that encodes information in two dimensions; and a second subsystem coupled to the first subsystem; at a first location and at a first time, optically scanning the transaction code from the visual display of the wireless communication device to permit personal bodily entry into or through a physical structure to partially complete the wireless transaction; and at a second location distinct from the first location, and at a second time distinct from the first time and while the wireless transaction remains only partially complete, optically scanning the transaction code from the visual display of the wireless communication device to complete the wireless transaction and authorize personal bodily entry or through the physical structure. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)

39. A method for facilitating a wireless transaction, comprising:
-
at a first time, receiving a transaction request from a transaction requester using a wireless communications device, the transaction request associated with a wireless transaction defined by an authorization with respect to a product or service, and a multi-stage fulfillment action associated with the authorization, the fulfillment action including personal bodily access into a physical location or structure using the wireless communication device; transmitting, to said wireless communication device, a transaction code in response to the authorization of the transaction request, the transaction code being a two dimensional (2D) image that encodes information in two dimensions and is configured such that it is capable of being output from the wireless communication device and optically scanned for authorizing the given action; at a second time distinct from the first time, and only if it is determined at the second time that a user of the wireless communication device is authorized to use the transaction code transmitted to the wireless communication device to facilitate the wireless transaction, optically scanning the transaction code from the visual display of the wireless communication device to partially complete the wireless transaction; and at a third time distinct from the first time and the second time and while the wireless transaction remains only partially complete, optically scanning the transaction code from the visual display of the wireless communication device to complete the wireless transaction and authorize personal bodily entry into the physical location or structure.

40. A method for facilitating a wireless transaction, comprising:
-
receiving, at a transaction system and at least in part over a wireless communication link, a transaction request for a user-selected wireless transaction, the transaction request associated with a wireless transaction consisting essentially of an authorization with respect to a product or service, and a multi-stage fulfillment event associated with the authorization, the fulfillment event occurring at a fulfillment location using the wireless communication device; in response to the received user-selected transaction request, determining whether the authorization has been obtained; if the authorization has been obtained, communicating an optically scannable transaction code from the transaction system to a wireless communication device, the optically scannable transaction code being a two dimensional (2D) image that encodes information in two dimensions and that, at a first point in time, is capable of being scanned from the wireless communication device at the fulfillment location to partially complete the wireless transaction; and at a second point in time and while the wireless transaction remains only partially complete, completing the wireless transaction at the fulfillment location by scanning a two dimensional (2D) image from the wireless communication device. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42)
