First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for validating a transaction made on a transactional terminal, said transaction being associated with a user, wherein the method comprises:
- receiving a validation message from a mobile device of a user, containing a validation code for the transaction, which comprises at least one piece of information representing an identifier of the transactional terminal and was preliminarily displayed on the transactional terminal entered by the user of the mobile device and transmitted with the validation message by the mobile device to an entity of a telecommunications network to which said mobile device and said transactional terminal are connected;
identifying a base station of the telecommunications network to which the mobile device of the user is connected;
decoding the validation code for the transaction from the validation message to deliver the at least one piece of information representing the identifier of the transactional terminal; and
validating the transaction based on whether the identified transactional terminal is in a zone of coverage of the identified base station to which the mobile device of the user is connected.

12. A system for validating a transaction made on a transactional terminal, said transaction being associated with a user, wherein the system comprises:
-
means for receiving a validation message from a mobile device of a user containing a validation code for the transaction, which comprises at least one piece of information representing an identifier of the transactional terminal and was preliminarily displayed on the transactional terminal, entered by the user of the mobile device and transmitted with the validation message by the mobile device to an entity of a telecommunications network to which said mobile device and said transactional terminal are connected; means for identifying a base station of the telecommunications network to which the mobile device of the user is connected; means for decoding the validation code for the transaction from the validation message to deliver the at least one piece of information representing the identifier of the transactional terminal; and means for validating the transaction based on whether the identified transactional terminal is in a zone of coverage of the identified base station to which the mobile device of the user is connected.

13. A transactional terminal comprising:
-
means for generating a validation code associated with a transaction made on the transaction terminal and a user based on at least one piece of information representing an identifier of said transactional terminal; and means for displaying said validation code generated on a display device of said transactional terminal. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A computer program product recorded on a non-transitory computer-readable carrier, wherein the product comprises program code instructions to implement a method of validating a transaction when executed by a processor, the method comprising:
-
receiving a validation message from a mobile device of a user, containing a validation code for the transaction, which comprises at least one piece of information representing an identifier of the transactional terminal and was preliminarily displayed on the transactional terminal, entered by the user of the mobile device and transmitted with the validation message by the mobile device to an entity of a telecommunications network to which said mobile device and said transactional terminal are connected; identifying a base station of the telecommunications network to which the mobile device of the user is connected; decoding the validation code for the transaction from the validation message to deliver the at least one piece of information representing the identifier of the transactional terminal; and validating the transaction based on whether the identified transactional terminal is in a zone of coverage of the identified base station to which the mobile device of the user is connected.

16. A method for validating a transaction made on a transactional terminal, said transaction being associated with a user, wherein the method comprises:
-
displaying a validation code on the transactional terminal; entering the displayed validation code into a mobile device that is associated with the user; transmitting a validation message containing the validation code by the mobile device to an entity of a telecommunications network to which said mobile device and said transactional terminal are connected; and decoding the validation code from the received validation message.
