20100049615 | MOBILE COMMERCE AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION SYSTEM - The mobile commerce authentication and authorization system disclosed, illustrated, and claimed allows a user of a currently existing mobile wireless communications instrument to conduct financial transactions, including purchases, across a wireless communications system using location data to authorize and authenticate the user and the transaction. The location of the mobile wireless communications instrument and the location of a vendor point-of-sale device are matched with a payment sum. Authentication of the user of the mobile wireless communications instrument is achieved at least by application of the position and/or location determinable features of the mobile wireless communications instrument, the position and/or location of a point-of-sale device of a vendor or merchant where the instrument user seeks to purchase goods or services, and the payment sum entered on the point-of-sale device. A transaction matching subsystem located in a wireless customer server hub may assist in processing the location data and the payment sum amount across the wireless communications network. | 02-25-2010 |
