Abstract
There is provided systems and methods for short range communications for specific device identification during multi-device proximity. A user may utilize a device to request a service at a specific location, such as a transportation service or ride sharing service. When arriving at the location, short range wireless communications between the user's device and the service provider's device may be used to detect the proximity of the devices to each other and exchange tokens that are used for identification of the other party. The communications may further be used to determine when the device are within communication range, and when the communication range ends indicating that the parties have moved outside the proximity range for the communications and the service has ended. At the end of the connection, a transaction for the service may automatically be generated and processed without requiring additional user input.
