Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile transaction systems lack secure and interactive methods for authorizing purchasing transactions, particularly in verbal recognition-based systems, which can be vulnerable to fraud and do not effectively utilize verbal commands for authentication.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system that uses a payment transaction service provider to authenticate verbal recognition information, including recordings of authorization phrases, to communicate payment credentials securely between user devices and merchants, incorporating voice recognition and biometric validation to ensure transaction authorization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If verbal recognition is used for transaction authentication, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to fraud vulnerability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidreliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple authentication factors including verbal recognition, biometric data (fingerprint, facial recognition), and device security credentials into a unified authentication system. This multi-factor approach merges different verification methods to maintain ease of use while significantly improving reliability by making fraud more difficult.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary authentication server that mediates between the user's verbal/biometric input and the transaction authorization. This intermediary verifies credentials, checks fraud indicators, and coordinates with merchants, thereby enhancing reliability without adding significant complexity to the user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If biometric validation is implemented, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system leverages self-service capabilities built into modern mobile devices, such as onboard fingerprint sensors, facial recognition hardware, and secure enclaves for storing biometric data. By utilizing existing self-service biometric capabilities, the system improves reliability without requiring complex external validation infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical authentication systems (physical signatures, handwritten verification) with electronic biometric validation. This substitution uses optical and electrical fields for fingerprint and facial recognition, improving reliability while reducing the need for complex physical verification infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If secure tokenization is used for payment credentials, then reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to additional authentication steps

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereliabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary authentication actions by verifying biometric and verbal credentials before the actual transaction occurs. Payment credentials are tokenized and pre-validated in advance, so that during the actual purchase, the process is streamlined. The heavy authentication burden is placed beforehand, making the actual transaction simpler and more convenient.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates secure copies (tokens) of payment credentials that can be used in transactions without exposing the actual sensitive data. These tokenized copies enable automated verification and reduce the need for manual authentication steps during transactions, maintaining security while improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Systems and methods for tokenizing financial information are provided, including embodiments relating to authorizing payment or sale transactions using verbal recognition of a customer or user. In some embodiments, a payment transaction service provider system may receive payment authorization information from a user device. The payment authorization information may include a recording. The payment authorization information may be authenticated based at least in part on the recording. A payment credential may be communicated in response to authenticating the payment authorization information.
