A method for operating a mobile Point-of-Sales (mPOS) application for executing a transaction includes: a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) card connected to a terminal device executes in interaction with the terminal device an application frontend of the mPOS application that provides, upon launch, an I/O interface with a human machine interface displayed by a touchscreen of the terminal device and a machine-to-machine interface; and the application frontend, for starting a transaction, captures transaction data associated with the transaction to be started via the human machine interface, reads further transaction data via the machine-to-machine interface from a transaction device separate from the terminal device and arranged close to the terminal device, generates a transaction authorization authorizing the requested transaction, and transmits the transaction authorization, the transaction data and the further transaction data via a connection to a remote backend server for completing the transaction.

A method for authenticating a user includes: an application frontend of a face recognition application, upon receipt of a face recognition request from an application backend of the face recognition application, causes a terminal device to activate a camera of the terminal device; the application frontend receives a video stream of a face of the user captured by the camera of the terminal device; the application frontend transmits the received video stream to the application backend; the application backend, upon receipt of the video stream, extracts a face characteristic of the user from the received video stream in real-time; and the application backend compares the extracted face characteristic with a stored reference face characteristic of the user and authenticates the user based on the extracted face characteristic matching the stored reference face characteristic.

A method for completing a transaction includes: a backend server executes an application backend of a transaction application; a first terminal device executes a first application frontend of the transaction application; the first application frontend, for starting a transaction, transmits a transaction request indicating the transaction to be started and a second application frontend different from the first application frontend and comprising transaction data associated with the indicated transaction to the application backend; a second terminal device executes the second application frontend of the transaction application; the application backend provides a transaction link for being connected to by the second application frontend and transmits an authorization request to the second application frontend; the second application frontend authorizes the requested transaction and transmits a transaction authorization to the application backend; and the application backend completes the transaction.

Method and system for completing a transaction

A method for configuring a mobile Point-of-Sales (mPOS) application for executing a transaction includes: installing an application frontend of the mPOS application on a terminal device connected to a communication network; installing an application backend of the mPOS application on an edge cloud server of the communication network; configuring the application frontend to act, upon launch, as an I/O interface and to communicate with the application backend via a secure connection provided by the communication network; and splitting I/O drivers comprised by computer program code of the mPOS application into a low-level driver executed on the terminal device as part of the I/O interface and a high-level driver executed in the application backend at the edge cloud server.

A method for authenticating a trusted user interface of a first user terminal which incorporates a scan function, comprising the steps

Method and system for authenticating a trusted user interface

Digital process for authentication of a user of a database for access to protected data or a service reserved for a defined circle of users or for the use of data currently entered by the user, wherein a voice sample currently enunciated during an access attempt by the user is routed to a voice analysis unit and, herein, a current voice profile is computed and this is compared in a voice profile comparison unit against a previously stored initial voice profile and, in response to a positive comparison result, the user is authenticated and a first control signal enabling access, but in response to a negative comparison result a second control signal disabling access or triggering a substitute authentication procedure is generated.

Digital process and arrangement for authenticating a user of a database

Voice recording used for authentication is transmitted to the voice portal of the service provider not by way of the voice channel, but rather by way of a data channel. In this connection, the voice recording is sent not synchronous to speech and subject to loss, but rather asynchronously and loss-free, in an extra data package (for example advantageously as a Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) data package). For this purpose, the resources that are available as standard items in most mobile phone terminals, such as digital voice recording and MMS transmission, can be utilized. Preferably, the subscriber's identification module or SIM card in the mobile phone terminal can store and implement the corresponding control program.
