20210312433 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CODE DISPLAY AND USE - Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods that allow users to use their communication devices to perform transactions (e.g., payment transactions, access transactions, etc.). To complete a transaction, a resource provider electronically generates a code representing transaction data and displays it on an access device. The user scans the code with his or her communication device using a camera associated with the communication device, for example. The code is interpreted by an application on the communication device. The user may request and receive a token at the communication device corresponding to sensitive information selected to perform the transaction (e.g., a primary account number). The user may then provide the token and the transaction data via the communication device to a server computer, which may facilitate completion of the transaction between the user and the resource provider using the transaction data and the token. | 2021-10-07 |
20210312434 | SERVER, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, SETTLEMENT SYSTEM, AND METHOD - A server includes a communication interface, a memory, and a processing circuit. The memory is configured to store a plurality of user IDs and necessity information associated with each of the plurality of user IDs. Each of the plurality of user IDs is associated with a respective customer. The necessity information indicates whether the respective customer has chosen to require that use of benefits during transactions be confirmed by the respective customer before the benefits are applied to the transactions. The processing circuit is configured to receive a respective user ID and a request for code information from an information processing device via the communication interface, acquire the necessity information associated with the respective user ID from the memory, issue the code information in response to receiving the request for the code information, and transmit the code information and the necessity information to the information processing device via the communication interface. | 2021-10-07 |
