One or more Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) beacons in communication with a remote server that provides check in capabilities and payment capabilities may be installed at a location. The BLE beacons may connect with a user's mobile device when the user enters the location and allow the user to check in to the location and authorize payments to be made at the location. Once the user is checked in to the location, the user may be provided with additional functionality, benefits, offers, and applications related to the location and facilitated by the check in. Further, the user may be pre-checked in into a next location when the user is at a current location.

A system and method for receiving and executing emoji based commands in messaging applications. The system and method may include processes such as identifying emojis in a message, determining one or more action based on the emoji, and completing the determined actions.

Dynamic emoji modal actions

Embodiments of systems and methods for client and/or server authentication are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes sending information from a mobile network device to a server, wherein the information comprises a seed that is used by both the mobile network device and the server to compute a series of one time passwords. The method also includes receiving, by the mobile network device, a succession of one time passwords generated by the server throughout a session. And the method further includes comparing the received one time passwords generated by the server throughout the session to corresponding one time passwords generated at the mobile network device. In this manner, the server can be authenticated. In various embodiments, the process may be reversed to facilitate client, e.g., mobile network device, authentication.

An embodiment includes a system comprising an initialization module and a platform module. The initialization module provides an initialization interface to a merchant that receives an indication from the merchant to initialize creation of a storefront application. The platform module receives a selection of mobile phone device operating systems; accesses stored templates from a template database, and maps elements in the stored templates to portions of source code to generate sets of operating system-specific source code. The stored templates correspond to the selected mobile phone device operating systems. The stored templates include source code used to implement portions of the storefront application on a mobile phone device operating system. When compiled, the sets of operating system-specific source code become versions of the storefront application executable by a respective one of mobile phone device operating systems.

A two step method for transferring money from a sender to a recipient includes entering information relating to the transfer into a near field communication (NFC) enabled device of the sender. The device is then placed in contact with or close proximity to a recipient's device a first time, causing the sender's device to establish an NFC link between the two devices and to gather information relating to the recipient via the NFC link. The sender's device is then placed in contact with or close proximity to the recipient's device a second time, causing it to transmit the information relating to the transfer and the recipient to a third party service provider via another network, e.g., the Internet, thereby causing the service provider to transfer the money from an account of the sender to an account of the recipient.

Two step near field communication transactions

Methods and systems are provided for secure device binding that provides user convenience through avoiding repetitive logging in when changing apps or moving from website to website. A mobile device undergoes binding to an account so that customers do not always have to enter their password when going through a financial transaction process, on a known (e.g., registered) mobile device. A device may be bound during an initial login, and once logged in, the user can select an option to be 'remembered' so that the user need not re-login on the same device for future visits with an app or to a website that shares the service provider library.

Quick payment using mobile device binding

Automatic payment code display systems and methods include a user device detecting a beacon system at a physical merchant location. The user device establishes a background communication process with the beacon system that occurs without user intervention subsequent to detecting the beacon system. The user device then provides the user account authentication token to the beacon system as part of the background communication process. The user device then receives a payment code from the beacon system as part of the background communication process. The user device then causes the payment code to be displayed, and the displayed payment code is configured to be utilized by a payment processing device at the physical merchant location in a payment transaction. The payment code may be caused to be displayed on a lock screen in a background display process that occurs without user intervention.
