Abstract

The present disclosure facilitates gesture-based interaction with a computer-system. The method may comprise pairing a transaction account with a likeness, receiving the likeness and a transaction request based upon the location of a marker in three dimensional space, retrieving the transaction account paired with the likeness, and approving the transaction request at least partially based upon the transaction account and the likeness.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a computer-based system for processing a transaction, an image of a transaction instrument;

determining, by the computer-based system, two dimensional coordinates in response to a location of the image in three dimensional space; and

transmitting, by the computer-based system, an identifier associated with the image of the transaction instrument to a server system for processing the transaction, wherein the server system compares the identifier associated with the image of the transaction instrument to a stored identifier associated with a transaction account.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the identifier comprises at least one of:

an account code, an expiration date, a quick response (QR) code, and a bar code.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, by the computer-based system, a transaction request; and

requesting, by the computer-based system, the image of the transaction instrument.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, by the computer-based system and from the server system, at least one of an authentication response and an approval in response to the transmitting.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the identifier is associated with the two dimensional coordinates.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising at least one of encrypting and decrypting, by the computer-based system, the identifier.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting, by the computer-based system, the image of the transaction instrument.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the image and the identifier are associated with a website.

9. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a computer-based system for processing a transaction, an identifier associated with an image of a transaction instrument;

determining, by the computer-based system, two dimensional coordinates in response to a location of the image in three dimensional space; and

comparing, by the computer-based system, the identifier associated with the image of the transaction instrument to a stored identifier associated with a transaction account to process the transaction.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the identifier comprises at least one of:

an account code, an expiration date, a quick response (QR) code, and a bar code.

11. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

receiving, by the computer-based system, a transaction request; and

requesting, by the computer-based system, the image of the transaction instrument.

12. The method of claim 9, further comprising transmitting, by the computer-based system, an authentication response in response to the comparing.

13. The method of claim 9, further comprising transmitting, by the computer-based system, an approval in response to the comparing.

14. The method of claim 9, further comprising decrypting, by the computer-based system, the identifier.

15. The method of claim 9, further comprising receiving, by the computer-based system, the image of the transaction instrument.

16. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a computer-based system for processing a transaction, an identifier associated with an image of a transaction instrument;

determining, by the computer-based system, two dimensional coordinates in response to a location of the image in three dimensional space; and

transmitting, by the computer-based system, the identifier to a server system for processing the transaction, wherein the server system compares the identifier associated with the image of the transaction instrument to a stored identifier associated with a transaction account.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the identifier comprises at least one of:

an account code, an expiration date, a quick response (QR) code, and a bar code.

18. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

receiving, by the computer-based system, a transaction request; and

requesting, by the computer-based system, the image of the transaction instrument.

19. The method of claim 16, further comprising receiving, by the computer-based system, an authentication response in response to the transmitting.

20. The method of claim 16, further comprising receiving, by the computer-based system, an approval in response to the transmitting.
