Abstract

The present disclosure facilitates gesture-based interaction with a computer-system. The method may comprise pairing a transaction account with a likeness, receiving the likeness and a transaction request based upon the location of a marker in three dimensional space, retrieving the transaction account paired with the likeness, and approving the transaction request at least partially based upon the transaction account and the likeness.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a computer-based system for gesture based interaction, an offer based upon an image paired with a transaction account;

transmitting, by the computer-based system, a transaction request to a server system based upon the offer and the transaction account;

receiving, by the computer-based system and in association with a website, two dimensional coordinates in response to a location of a marker in three dimensional space; and

receiving, by the computer-based system and from the server system, an authentication response to the transaction request.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, by the computer-based system, the image paired with the transaction account; and

transmitting, by the computer-based system, the image to the server system.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, by the computer-based system, at least one of;

a secret gesture, a digital signature and a personal identification number (PIN); and

transmitting, by the computer-based system, at least one of;

the secret gesture, the digital signature, and the PIN to the server system.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the secret gesture comprises a plurality of images of the marker.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the marker comprises at least one of:

a mobile device and a transaction instrument.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the image comprises an image of a likeness.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the authentication response is based solely upon the image.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein a likeness comprises biometric data.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the image comprises an image of a transaction instrument.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the authentication response is based upon the image of the transaction instrument and at least one of:

a secret gesture, a digital signature and a personal identification number (PIN).

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the image is displayed by a mobile device.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the image comprises an image of at least one of:

an account code, a name, an expiration date, a quick response (“

QR”

) code, and a bar code.

13. The method of claim 1, further comprising populating, by the computer-based system, an online form in response to receiving the image.

14. The method of claim 1, further comprising populating, by the computer-based system, an online form in response to receiving the image and at least one of:

a personal identification number (PIN), a secret gesture, and a digital signature.

15. The method of claim 1, further comprising rendering, by the computer-based system, an icon associated with the marker in two dimensional space in response to a location of the marker in three dimensional space.

16. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting, by the computer-based system, a transaction request based upon a motion of the marker in three dimensional space.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein the image is received from a merchant system.

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

receiving, by the computer-based system, an offer based upon an image paired with a transaction account;

transmitting, by the computer-based system, a transaction request to a server system based upon the offer and the transaction account;

receiving, by the computer-based system and in association with a website, two dimensional coordinates in response to a location of a marker in three dimensional space; and

,

receiving, by the computer-based system and from the server system, an authentication response to the transaction request.

19. A system comprising:

a processor for gesture-based interaction,

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 perform operations comprising;

receiving, by the processor, an offer based upon an image paired with a transaction account;

transmitting, by the processor, a transaction request to a server system based upon the offer and the transaction account;

receiving, by the processor and in association with a website, two dimensional coordinates in response to a location of a marker in three dimensional space; and

receiving, by the processor and from the server system, an authentication response to the transaction request.
