System and method for receiving requests for tasks from unregistered devices
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a memory;
one or more processors coupled to said memory;
wherein said memory comprises program instructions executable by the processor to implement a communication interface service configured to;
receive a message from a communication device, the message indicating a request to purchase an item;
determine that said communication device is not registered with an existing account that includes billing information previously submitted by a user for performing purchases;
obtain from the unregistered communication device via a communication channel, identification and authentication information for the existing account that includes the previously-submitted billing information;
wherein said existing account is accessible through a network-based interface;
wherein said communication channel does not include said network-based interface; and
validate the identification and authentication information received from the unregistered communication device through said communication channel as being correct relative to identification and authentication information previously-submitted by said user through the network-based interface, andin response to that validation;
complete the purchase of the item with the previously-submitted billing information of the existing account.

Abstract
Embodiments of a system and method for receiving task requests from unregistered devices are described. Embodiments may include a communication interface service configured to receive from a communication device a message indicative of a request to perform a task. The communication interface service may determine that the communication device is not registered with an existing account that provides information for performing said task. The communication interface service may obtain identification and authentication information for an existing account via a communication channel. The existing account may be an account for that is accessible via a network-based interface. The communication channel through which the identification and authentication information is received by the communication interface service may be any communication channel that does not include the network-based interface of the existing account. Additionally, the communication interface service may use the identification and authentication information for performance of the task using the existing account.

17. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
performing, by one or more computers; receiving a message from a communication device, the message indicating a request to purchase an item; determining that said communication device is not registered with an existing account that includes billing information previously submitted by a user for performing purchases; obtaining from the unregistered communication device via a communication channel, identification and authentication information for the existing account that includes the previously-stored billing information;
wherein said existing account is accessible through a network-based interface;
wherein said communication channel does not include said network-based interface;validating the identification and authentication information from the unregistered communication device as being correct relative to identification and authentication information previously-submitted by said user through the network-based interface, and in response to that validation; complete the purchase of the item with the previously-submitted billing information of the existing account; and register the communication device for subsequent access to the existing account through the communication channel with new authentication information. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions computer-executable to implement a communication interface service configured to:
-
receive a message from a communication device, the message indicating a request to purchase an item; determine that said communication device is not registered with an existing account that includes billing information previously submitted by a user for performing purchases; obtain from the unregistered communication device via a communication channel, identification and authentication information for the existing account that includes the previously-stored billing information;
wherein said existing account is accessible through a network-based interface;
wherein said communication channel does not include said network-based interface; andvalidate the identification and authentication information from the unregistered communication device as being correct relative to identification and authentication information previously-submitted by said user through the network-based interface, and in response to that validation; complete the purchase of the item with the previously-submitted billing information of the existing account. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
