Abstract

A networked computer system for generating pharmaceutical data for use in displaying pharmacy customer account records via mobile computing devices in compliance with HIPPA regulations is described herein. The networked computer system includes a server computer including a processor coupled to a memory device, and a database. The database includes user pharmacy account records including corresponding primary IDs and corresponding secondary IDs. The server computer is programmed to receive a request to access a user pharmacy account record from a user via a mobile computing device including a primary, select a user pharmacy account record associated with the received primary ID, receives a response signal including a received secondary ID being provided by the user, and initiates a pharmacy application program being stored on the mobile computing device to allow the user to access the selected user pharmacy account record if the received secondary ID matches the corresponding secondary ID.

receive a request to access a user pharmacy account record from a user via a mobile computing device, the request including a primary ID provided by the user;

access the list of user pharmacy account records and select a user pharmacy account record associated with the received primary ID;

transmit a verification request signal to the mobile computing device to cause the mobile computing device to display a request to the user to provide a secondary ID;

receive, from the mobile computing device, a response signal including a received secondary ID being provided by the user;

determine if the received secondary ID matches the corresponding secondary ID included in the selected user pharmacy account record; and

initiate a pharmacy application program being stored on the mobile computing device to allow the user to access the selected user pharmacy account record via the mobile computing device if the received secondary ID matches the corresponding secondary ID included in the selected user pharmacy account record.

2. A system in accordance with claim 1, wherein the received secondary ID includes biometric data associated with the user.

3. A system in accordance with claim 2, wherein the biometric data is associated with at least one of a fingerprint, a voiceprint, and a facial image.

4. A system in accordance with claim 1, wherein the server computer is programmed to transmit the verification request signal to initiate the pharmacy application program being stored on the mobile computing device to operate the mobile computing device to receive biometric data from the user via the mobile computing device.

5. A system in accordance with claim 4, wherein the server computer is programmed to:

determine a biometric data format associated with the corresponding secondary ID included in the selected user pharmacy account record;

determine if the mobile computing device is capable of receiving the biometric data format associated with the selected user pharmacy account record; and

display the request to provide a secondary ID if the mobile computing device is capable of receiving the biometric data format from the user.

6. A system in accordance with claim 5, wherein the server computer is programmed to initiate the pharmacy application program being stored on the mobile computing device to cause the mobile computing device to display the request to provide a secondary ID including a plurality of secondary ID selections that are selectable by the user, each secondary ID selection indicating the biometric data format associated with the selected user pharmacy account record.

7. A system in accordance with claim 1, wherein the received primary ID includes a unique username associated with a pharmacy customer.

8. A system in accordance with claim 1, wherein the server computer is programmed to:

receive a signal indicating a pharmaceutical drug being purchased by a pharmacy customer;

receive primary customer identifying information associated with the pharmacy customer and generate a primary ID associated with the pharmacy customer;

receive biometric data associated with the pharmacy customer and generate a secondary ID associated with the pharmacy customer; and

generate a user pharmacy account record including the generated primary ID and the generated secondary ID.

9. A system in accordance with claim 8, wherein the server computer is programmed to:

receive the signal indicating a pharmaceutical drug being purchased by a pharmacy customer from a point-of-sale (POS) terminal associated with a retail pharmacy;

transmit a request for customer biometric data to the POS terminal; and

receive the biometric data associated with the pharmacy customer from the POS terminal.

10. A method, comprising:

receiving a request to access a user pharmacy account record from a user via a mobile computing device, the request including a primary ID provided by the user;

accessing a database including a list of user pharmacy account records associated with pharmacy customers, each user pharmacy account record including customer identification information associated with a pharmacy customer and pharmaceutical drug information associated with corresponding prescription drug medications, the customer identification information including a corresponding primary ID and a corresponding secondary ID;

selecting a user pharmacy account record associated with the received primary ID;

transmitting a verification request signal to the mobile computing device to cause the mobile computing device to display a request to the user to provide a secondary ID;

receiving, from the mobile computing device, a response signal including a received secondary ID being provided by the user;

determining if the received secondary ID matches the corresponding secondary ID included in the selected user pharmacy account record; and

initiating a pharmacy application program being stored on the mobile computing device to allow the user to access the selected user pharmacy account record via the mobile computing device if the received secondary ID matches the corresponding secondary ID included in the selected user pharmacy account record.

11. A method in accordance with claim 10, wherein the received secondary ID includes biometric data associated with the user.

12. A method in accordance with claim 11, wherein the biometric data is associated with at least one of a fingerprint, a voiceprint, and a facial image.

13. A method in accordance with claim 10, further comprising transmitting the verification request signal to initiate the pharmacy application program being stored on the mobile computing device to operate the mobile computing device to receive biometric data from the user via the mobile computing device.

14. A method in accordance with claim 10, further comprising:

determining a biometric data format associated with the corresponding secondary ID included in the selected user pharmacy account record;

determining if the mobile computing device is capable of receiving the biometric data format associated with the selected user pharmacy account record; and

displaying the request to provide a secondary ID if the mobile computing device is capable of receiving the biometric data format from the user.

15. A method in accordance with claim 14, further comprising initiating the pharmacy application program being stored on the mobile computing device to cause the mobile computing device to display the request to provide a secondary ID including a plurality of secondary ID selections that are selectable by the user, each secondary ID selection indicating the biometric data format associated with the selected user pharmacy account record.

16. A method in accordance with claim 10, wherein the received primary ID includes a unique username associated with a pharmacy customer.
