Embodiment Construction

[0026] figure 1 A system 100 is shown for improving micro-location detection hardware and software techniques associated with detecting user and device attributes, and authorizing transactions based on micro-location detection, according to an embodiment of the present invention. The system 100 is enabled to associate a user with a micro-location (within a venue enabled with frictionless transaction technology) during a first transaction based on the user's device and the successful execution of the first transaction. Additionally, the system 100 is enabled to detect that users are attempting additional transactions at different micro-locations within the venue. In response, a notification is transmitted to the server indicating the preferred micro-location. Alternatively, the user is prompted to enter transaction authentication data, including biometric authentication, retinal authentication, fingerprint authentication, etc., among others. Different micro-locations may be u...

Abstract

A method and system for improving a frictionless authorization process is provided. The method includes first detecting a mobile device of a first user at first micro locations within a retail entity.Additionally, the mobile device is additionally detected entering a first check out lane of the retail entity for purchase of first items from the retail entity. The user is authorized for purchase of the first items from the retail entity and attributes associated with the previous detections with respect to the authorization are analyzed. Resulting future authorization attributes for authorizing the mobile device for future purchases of items from the retail entity are determined.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to a method for increasing the level of security associated with frictionless transactions, and in particular to a method and associated system for improving microlocation detection associated with detecting user and device attributes Hardware and software techniques, and for authorizing transactions based on micro-location detection, thereby improving efficiencies associated with frictionless transactions. Background technique [0002] Processes for enabling frictionless transactions are well known. Numerous solutions currently exist regarding allowing customers to use a phone and associated application to effectuate a transaction without using a credit card. However, the transactions described above rely on the user physically enabling the device. Likewise, current solutions use sensors and video files to determine user motion. Additionally, Bluetooth technology can be used to determine the user's proximity ...
