Systems and methods for tokenless authentication of consumers during payment transactions
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for tokenless authentication of a paying consumer during a payment transaction at a retail location, said method using a computing device having a processor and a memory, said method comprising:
- receiving, in the memory, a plurality of biometric data sets for a plurality of consumers, each biometric data set including at least a first biometric image of one of the plurality of consumers and a payment account identifier associated with the one of the plurality of consumers, the plurality of consumers including the paying consumer;
receiving, from an iris recognition device proximate an entrance to the retail location and in communication with the processor, an iris image of each consumer physically entering the retail location;
creating a list of each consumer physically present at the retail location based at least in part on the received iris image for each consumer physically entering the retail location, the list including at least the paying consumer;
transmitting the list to at least one of the paying consumer and a salesperson of the retail location for display prior to completion of the payment transaction;
verifying, using the list, that the paying consumer is at the retail location during the payment transaction;
determining a payment account associated with the paying consumer by comparing the received iris image to the plurality of biometric data sets; and
authenticating use of the payment account by the paying consumer for a payment transaction at a point of sale computing device within the retail location.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for tokenless authentication of a paying consumer during a payment transaction uses a computing device having a processor and a memory. The method includes receiving a plurality of biometric data sets for a plurality of consumers. Each biometric data set includes at least a biometric image of a consumer and an associated payment account identifier. The method also includes receiving, from a first biometric input device communicatively coupled to the processor, a first biometric image of the paying consumer including an iris image. The method further includes determining a payment account associated with the paying consumer based on at least the first biometric image and the plurality of biometric data sets. The method also includes authenticating use of the payment account by the paying consumer for a payment transaction at the retail location by comparing the first biometric image to the plurality of biometric data sets.

5. A computing system for authenticating a paying consumer at a retail location, said computing system comprising:
-
a memory comprising a plurality of biometric data sets for a plurality of consumers, each biometric data set including at least a first biometric image of one of the plurality of consumers and a payment account identifier associated with the one of the plurality of consumers, the plurality of consumers including the paying consumer; and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the first biometric input device, said processor programmed to; receive, from an iris recognition device proximate an entrance to the retail location, an iris image of each consumer physically entering the retail location; create a list of each consumer physically present at the retail location based at least in part on the received iris image for each consumer physically entering the retail location, the list including at least the paying consumer; transmit the list to at least one of the paying consumer and a salesperson of the retail location for display prior to completion of the payment transaction; verify, using the list, that the paying consumer is at the retail location during the payment transaction; determine a payment account associated with the paying consumer by comparing the received iris image to the plurality of biometric data sets; and authenticate use of the payment account by the paying consumer for a payment transaction at a point of sale computing device within the retail location based on the payment account determination. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the processor to:
-
receive a plurality of biometric data sets for a plurality of consumers, each biometric data set including at least a biometric image of a consumer and an associated payment account identifier; receive an iris image of the paying consumer upon the paying consumer entering a retail location; create a list including the plurality of consumers, the list representing consumers physically present at the retail location and based at least in part on the received first biometric image and the different plurality of biometric images; and transmit the list to at least one of the paying consumer and a salesperson prior to completion of the payment transaction; verify, using the list, that the paying consumer is at the retail location during the payment transaction; associate the paying consumer with a payment account using at least the received iris image of the paying consumer; and authenticate use of the payment account by the paying consumer for a payment transaction at a point of sale computing device within the retail location by comparing the received iris image to the plurality of biometric data sets. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
