Abstract

A process of conducting a contactless payment in an online transaction comprises initiating, at a computer-based system, an online transaction based on a consumer selection, transmitting, from an RF device, consumer information to the computer-based system. The consumer information may provide at least one of shipping information, account information, and billing information for completing the online transaction. Further, the method includes populating a check-out screen with consumer information from the radio frequency device. The consumer is able to confirm the online transaction and associated information prior to submission for processing. In various embodiments of conducting the contactless payment of an online transaction, the RF device may be at least one of a transponder, a mobile phone, a smart phone, or a fob. The contactless-enabled device may at least one of a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a mobile phone, or a smart phone.

Claims

1. A contactless payment system comprising:

a processor configured to receive consumer information,

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;

initiating, by the contactless payment system, an online transaction based on a consumer selection;

receiving, by the contactless payment system and from a contactless device, the consumer information, wherein the consumer information provides at least one of shipping information, account information, and billing information for completing the online transaction; and

populating, by the contactless payment system, a check-out screen with consumer information from the contactless device,

wherein the consumer confirms the online transaction and associated information.

2. The contactless payment system of claim 1, wherein the consumer information includes a unique identifier associated with the contactless device.

3. The contactless payment system of claim 2, wherein contactless device is a mobile phone and wherein the unique identifier is a phone number of the mobile phone.

4. The contactless payment system of claim 1, wherein the consumer information includes at least one rotating number.

5. The contactless payment system of claim 1, wherein the contactless device provides the consumer information to the computer-based system for pre-populating the merchant website.

6. The contactless payment system of claim 1, wherein the contactless device stores various consumer information, and wherein a selection of the various consumer information is provided to the computer-based system in response to a gesture formation of the contactless device when in proximity to the reader.

7. The contactless payment system of claim 6, wherein the gesture formation is in the form of a shape, and wherein specific shapes correspond to specific consumer information.

8. The contactless payment system of claim 1, wherein the contactless device is capable of transmitting the consumer information to the reader in response to voice activation of the contactless device.

9. The contactless payment system of claim 8, wherein voice activation is based on phrases, and wherein a first phrase corresponds to a first set of consumer information, and wherein a second phrase corresponds to a second set of consumer information.

10. A method comprising:

initiating, at a computer-based system configured to receive consumer information, an online transaction based on a consumer selection;

receiving, by the computer-based system and from a contactless device, the consumer information, wherein the consumer information provides at least one of shipping information, account information, and billing information for completing the online transaction; and

populating, by the computer-based system, a check-out screen with consumer information from the contactless device,

wherein the consumer confirms the online transaction and associated information.

11. The method of claim 10 further comprising:

submitting, by the computer-based system, the online transaction to an authorization system for processing using business as usual standards; and

receiving, at the computer-based system, confirmation that the online transaction is approved by the authorization system.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the consumer information includes a rotating security number.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein the transmitting from the contactless device comprises transmitting using near-field communication protocols.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein the contactless device stores various consumer information, and wherein a selection of the various consumer information is provided to the computer-based system in response to a gesture formation of contactless device when in proximity to a reader of the computer-based system.

15. A method comprising:

generating, by a computer-based system configured to receive account information, an online transaction order based on input from a consumer;

receiving, at a contactless-enabled device of the computer-based system, the account information from a radio frequency device; and

populating, by the computer-based system, the account information into the online transaction order.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

receiving, at the computer-based system, confirmation of the online transaction order in response to a consumer approval; and

transmitting, by the computer-based system, the online transaction order to an authorization system for processing the transaction under business as usual standards.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein the radio frequency device is at least one of a transponder, a mobile phone, a smart phone, or a fob.

18. The method of claim 15, wherein contactless-enabled device is at least one of a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a mobile phone, or a smart phone.

19. The method of claim 15, wherein the radio frequency device is enabled for transmitting the account information to the contactless-enabled device in response to voice activation of the radio frequency device.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein voice activation is based on phrases, and wherein a first phrase corresponds to a first set of account information, and wherein a second phrase corresponds to a second set of account information.
