EFFECTING PAYMENTS USING OPTICAL COUPLING

摘要

The present technology relates to secure mobile payment systems for interacting with traditional paper invoices. Generating optical codes in a clearinghouse which, when decoded by a customer device, provides the customer with an anonymous portal for reconciling an invoice through the clearinghouse. Effecting payments by utilizing mobile devices equipped with digital camera, software for decoding optical codes, and an infrastructure of network-based clearinghouses for maintaining the anonymity of a plurality of customers and protecting their private and financial data.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, at a server from a prescription entry system registered with a prescription clearinghouse system, a first data file corresponding to a prescription, wherein the first data file includes a description of the prescription, a patient identifier associated with the prescription, and a unique claim number; generating, via the server, a new database entry in a database of the clearinghouse system, the database entry associating the unique claim number with the first data file and a prescription fulfillment status indicating non-fulfillment; transmitting, by the server to a mobile client device associated with the patient identifier, a second data file configured to cause the mobile client device to display an optical code, the unique claim number encoded into the optical code; receiving, at the server from a pharmacy system registered with the server, a request for access to the first data file, the request including the unique claim number; transmitting, by the server to pharmacy system in response to the request, a third data file including at least a portion of the first data file; and receiving, at the server from the pharmacy system, a confirmation message indicating that the prescription was processed; and updating, via the server, the prescription fulfillment status in the database for the unique claim number based on the confirmation message.
