METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING CLIENT SERVER TRANSMISSION OVER FADING CHANNEL WITH WIRELESS LOCATION AND AUTHENTICATION TECHNOLOGY VIA ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
First Claim
1. A method for facilitating electronic communication of secure information, the method comprising:
- receiving a unique identifier corresponding to a client process;
recognizing the unique identifier and establishing a secure communication channel with the client process based on the recognition of the unique identifier;
receiving information from the client process, through the secure communication channel, wherein the information is related to an item transaction or a financial transaction; and
providing information pertaining to the transaction,wherein receiving the unique identifier is through a short range electromagnetic (EM) radiation communication channel, and the short range electromagnetic radiation communication channel is separate from the secure communication channel established upon recognizing the unique identifier.

Abstract
Wireless personal area network (Zigbee, Bluetooth, UWB) and wireless identification technologies (Near Field Communication (NFC), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)) are implemented in particular client server functions and communications. Connected with an Authentication Server, a wireless HUB authenticates user identification and provides the user with access to secure data communication with a wireless terminal such as a cellular phone or a PDA. A Location Server provides user locations via methods such as RSSI, TDOA, and GPS and sends location information to a Center Control Server and the Authentication Server. With location information, the Center Control Server initiates and optimizes secure information processes and coordinates the functions of servers and user terminals.
