Abstract

A system and method for utilizing a highly secure two-dimensional matrix code on a mobile communications display includes a mobile communications device having a visible display, and a means for creating a highly secure two-dimensional matrix code representing selected data. Means are provided for selectively transmitting the highly secure two-dimensional matrix code, from the means for creating it to the mobile communications device. The highly secure two-dimensional matrix code is then displayed on the visible display of the mobile communications device. Upon reading the code, a transaction is facilitated.

Claims

1. A method for providing and permitting use of a secure two-dimensional matrix code on a mobile communications display for the purpose of facilitating a selected transaction between a user and a recipient, said method comprising steps of:

electromagnetically receiving a request from a user as part of a transaction between the user and a recipient;

generating a secure two-dimensional matrix code comprising data including at least a verification of the transaction and further selected data directed to at least account numbers of the user related to a financial aspect of the transaction, and goods and services information related to the transaction, said code including such data in order to facilitate the transaction as such data is coded within the two-dimensional matrix and as authorized by the recipient;

transmitting image data of the secure two-dimensional matrix code to a mobile communications device so that the secure two-dimensional matrix code can be created on a display of the mobile communications device;

reading the two-dimensional matrix code off the display of the mobile communications device by a remote reader, wherein the reader includes a touch screen for display, and displaying at least portions of the financial account numbers of the user as determined from the two-dimensional barcode on the touch screen, and receiving an election by the user of a chosen financial account of the user for completing the transaction;

upon electromagnetically reading of the two-dimensional matrix code, receiving a signal from the remote reader including transactional use data regarding the transaction and the further selected data between the user and recipient, and as a result of such transactional use data and the further selected data, checking the validity for use of the secure two-dimensional matrix code as a part of the transaction between the user and the recipient; and

electromagnetically transmitting data regarding acceptability of the use of the secure two-dimensional matrix code to at least one of the recipient, the user and the reader, wherein acceptability of the use of the secure two-dimensional matrix code results permits completion of the transaction between the user and the recipient.
