This invention relates generally to money transfers. More specifically the invention relates to money transfers initiated via augmented reality enabled systems.
Currently, initiating a financial transfer or money transfer can be at least somewhat time consuming. In the case of financial transfers, even credit card systems can be delayed during common nationwide heavy use periods. In the case of money transfers, additional identification requirement of both the sender and receiver can consume time and other resources of both the parties and the money transfer service.
Additionally, the above systems do not even contemplate the use of an additional identity verification source that most people carry, a mobile phone or other device. These devices are often associated with individuals and/or financial accounts, and yet this information is not often referenced to verify identities and/or initiate and complete financial transactions.
Embodiments of the present invention provide solutions to these and other inefficiencies and problems.
In one embodiment, a system for performing a money transfer between a sender an a receipt through the use of an augmented reality enabled device is provided. The system may include a first mobile device. The first mobile device may be associated with a first entity.

A processor(s) may perform the necessary tasks.
In one embodiment of the invention, a system for performing a money transfer between a sender an a recipient through the use of an augmented reality enabled is provided. The system may include a first mobile device. The first mobile device may, merely by way of example, be a mobile phone, a personal data assistant, a notebook or laptop computer, a tablet computer, a digital wristwatch, a electronic book, and/or any other mobile device, possibly carried by a user during regular day-to-day activities.
The first mobile device may be associated with a first entity. The first entity may possibly be the above described day-to-day user, for example, a private person. In some embodiments, the first entity may be a business entity and/or a specific cost center, possibly an individual user, associated with the entity. In these or other embodiments, a database may store a correlation table of mobile devices and the entity associated with each mobile device. Thus, in any system of the invention may be able to communicate with this database to identify an entity associated with a particular mobile device and vice versa.
The first mobile device may be configured to detect a first indicator via an augmented reality subsystem. The first indicator may be associated with a second entity and include one or more characteristics allowing it to be detected. The means of detection can vary from embodiment to embodiment, possibly depending on the type of characteristic or characteristics provided by the indicator, and mobile devices of some embodiments may have multiple means for detection.
Merely by way of example, the identifier may have a physical characteristic which may be identified (for example, size, shape, and dimensions) by the detector of the mobile device. In another example, the identifier may have a visual characteristic which may be identified (for example, size, shape, color, and brightness) by the detector of the mobile device. Cameras and other such devices may detect such identifiers.
In some embodiments, the identifier my have a location-based characteristic, wherein the location itself is the identifier, and by cross reference to a database of identifiers correlated with locations, a visual or other indicator of the identifier may queue a person or device to check the database for the existence of the identifier in the vicinity. Thus, in one example, a person may identify a location as having an identifier, and through the mobile device checking the database, the presence of an identifier at the location can be determined to exist. Devices which can detect and correlate the position of such indicators include global positioning systems, gyroscopes, accelerometers, and other location identifying devices.
In yet another embodiment, the identifier may have a characteristic radio signal, such as an RFID for example. The mobile device may be able to detect the radio signal and thus detect the presence of the identifier via an antenna or other device.
The augmented reality subsystem may be configured to associate meta-information with the first indicator based on the characteristic. Via a database lookup, or via information provided by further characteristics of the identifier, additional information may be ascertained regarding the identifier and/or the entity associated with it. Merely by way of example, the meta-information may include a business name, a personal name, a phone number, a communication address (for example, an Internet Protocol address or other network address), an account number, and/or a currency amount.
In some embodiments, the first indicator may be associated with a second mobile device. In these or other embodiments, the first indicator may be associated with a person associated with the second mobile device, possibly the user and/or owner of the second mobile device.
In some embodiments, any indicator may be static or dynamic. Merely by way of example, a static indicator may be a sticker or placard, possibly bearing a symbol (for example, a bar code) which can be detected by the augmented reality subsystem. Examples of a dynamic indicator may include a changeable display such as an electronic LED or LCD screen, or other dynamic screens known in the art. These dynamic indicators may also display symbols which can be read similarly to a static indicator. Essentially then, dynamic indicators may be capable of intelligently changing their characteristics, and therefore what meta-information is associated with the indicator, over time, and possibly at the direction of a system associated with the second entity.
The first mobile device may further be configured to receive an input including an amount to be transferred between the first entity and the second entity. This input may be received from an entity associated with the first mobile device (possibly the user), or the input may be received via detection of the first indicator and/or it's associated meta-information. This input may include an amount to be transferred from the first entity to the second entity.
Thus, in embodiments where the first indicator includes characteristics which allow an amount to be determined by the first mobile device, the second entity may communicate the amount to be transferred to the first entity via the indicator. This may be especially prevalent in embodiments where the first indicator is a dynamic indicator. Merely by way of example, an indicator could correlate to meta-information indicating a particular payee (and/or any of the other meta-information discussed above) and the amount to be paid, where the amount to be paid changes based on whatever business arrangement (for example, sale of goods and services) is being conducted between the two entities. In this example, the indicator would dynamically change based on the characteristics of the present business arrangement.
The first mobile device may moreover be configured to transmit a first set of instructions to a money transfer network. This first set of instructions may be based at least in part on the first indicator and the input as discussed above. As such, the first set of instructions may include instructions to perform a money transfer between the first entity and the second entity, and include a name, address, phone number, and/or account number of the payee, as well as similar information on the sender's side of the transaction (for example, the sender's name, address, phone number, and/or originating account number). In some embodiments, additional instructions regarding how to process the money transfer may included in the first set of instructions.
In some embodiments, details and/or confirmation of acceptance, processing, and/or completion of such a transaction may be communicated from the money transfer network to a system associated with the second entity. In some embodiments, a dynamic indicator may be changed to a null indictor once confirmation of a transaction being completed is received by the system associated with the second entity. Thus an indicator indicating essentially a request for a payment to the second entity may remain displayed by the dynamic indicator until receipt of confirmation of completion is received by the second entity's system, which is in communication with the dynamic indicator (or the system controlling the dynamic indicator).
In some embodiments, the second entity may be a merchant or other service provider. In these or other embodiments, the first mobile device may be further configured to receive a survey from the merchant after the money transfer is initiated and/or completed. The mobile device may accept answers to the survey from the user, and may then transfer such responses to the money transfer system and/or the merchant or service provider, possibly via the money transfer system.
In some embodiments, the first mobile device may be used an agent location of a money transfer network to at least assist and/or initiate money transfers to another entity. Merely by way of example, the first mobile device may be further configured to transmit a second set of instructions to a point-of-sale system associated with a money transfer network. This second set of instructions may be instructions necessary to conduct a money transfer from the user of the first mobile device, or other person, to yet another entity. This may include, for example, names, addresses, phone numbers, account numbers, identifying information, etc. regarding both the sender and receiver of the money transfer.
In some embodiments, when at an agent location, the first mobile device may be further configured to receive from a point-of-sale system associated with the money transfer network, an anticipated wait time until the first person will be assisted by a second person, wherein the second person is associated with the money transfer network, perhaps as an agent. The mobile device may be further configured to display the anticipated wait time until the first person will be assisted by the second person.
In some embodiments, service at the agent location can be initiated either by the mobile device or by a point-of-sale system at the agent location. For example, in mobile device initiated embodiments, the user of the mobile device may use the augmented reality enabled detector to detect an identifier at the agent location. In a point-of-sale device initiated embodiment, an augmented reality enable detector in communication with the money transfer system (possibly via the point-of-sale device) may initiate the money transfer process by detecting an identifier associated with the mobile device.
In another embodiment, the first mobile device may be associated with a first financial account (possibly because the user of the first mobile device is associated with the first financial account), and the second entity may be associated with a second financial account. In these embodiments, the instructions to perform a first money transfer between the first entity and the second entity may include instructions to perform a second money transfer from the first financial account to the second financial account.
As with all other features discussed herein, in various embodiments the mobile device may be configured to display, either statically or dynamically a second augmented reality indicator, and that indicator may be configured to identify the first entity, the first mobile device, and/or a financial account associated with the first mobile device or the first entity (possibly the phone service account associated with the first mobile device).
In some of these embodiments, this second augmented reality indicator may be indicative of a desire of the user of the mobile device to initiate a money transfer. Therefore, the second augmented reality indicator may include characteristics necessary, either directly, or indirectly thorough reference to a database, to determine any and/or all information necessary to conduct the money transfer as described above. This money transfer may be a purchase from a system or entity associate with a device which detects this second augmented reality indicator.
In another embodiment of the invention, a system for performing a money transfer between a sender and a recipient through the use of an augmented realty enabled device is provided. The system may include a first mobile device. The first mobile device may be associated with a first entity. The first mobile device may include a first means, a second means, a third means, and a fourth means. These embodiments may also have any of the other features discussed herein, and/or any features necessary to implement the methods discussed herein.
The first means may be for detecting a characteristic of a first augmented reality indicator associated with a second entity. The first means may include, merely by way of example, cameras, global positioning systems, gyroscopes, accelerometers, antennas and/or other equivalent devices discussed herein and further becoming known in the future.
The second means may be for associating meta-information with the first augmented reality indicator based on the characteristic. The second means may include, merely by way of example, processors, databases, electrical communication systems, and/or other equivalent devices discussed herein and further becoming known in the future.
The third means may be for receiving an input comprising an amount to be transferred from the first entity to the second entity. This may refer to a user input device on a mobile device, or where the detected identifier can relate the amount to be transferred, the identifier detection subsystem. The third means may include, merely by way of example, input devices on mobile phones, personal data assistants, notebook computers, laptop computers, tablet computers, digital wristwatches, electronic books, other sensing devices discussed above, and/or other equivalent devices discussed herein and further becoming known in the future.
The fourth means may be for transmitting a first set of instructions to a money transfer network. The first set of instructions may be based at least in part on the first indicator and the input. The first set of instructions may include instructions to perform a first money transfer between the first entity and the second entity. The fourth means may include, merely by way of example, communications systems on mobile phones, personal data assistants, notebook computers, laptop computers, tablet computers, digital wristwatches, electronic books, other communication devices therein or thereon, and/or other equivalent devices discussed herein and further becoming known in the future.
In another embodiment of the invention, a method for performing a money transfer between a first entity and a second entity through the use of an augmented reality enabled device is provided. The method may include detecting a first indicator via an augmented reality subsystem. The first indicator may be associated with the second entity. The first indicator may include a characteristic. The method may also include associating, with the augmented reality subsystem, meta-information with the first indicator based on the characteristic. The method may further include receiving an input including an amount to be transferred from the first entity to the second entity. The method may moreover include transmitting a first set of instructions to a money transfer network. The first set of instructions may be based at least in part on the first indicator and the input. The first set of instructions may include instructions to perform a money transfer between the first entity and the second entity. These embodiments may also have any of the other features discussed herein, and/or any features necessary to implement the methods discussed herein.
