Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to one embodiment, a system includes a memory comprising instructions, an interface, and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the interface. The interface is configured to receive, from a server, a token for verification in a transaction. The processor is configured, when executing the instructions, to compare information associated with the transaction with one or more token usage rules associated with the token, and determine, based on the comparison, whether the transaction may be completed using the token.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A system, comprising: a memory comprising instructions; an interface configured to: receive, from a server, a token for verification in a transaction; and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the interface, the processor configured, when executing the instructions, to: compare information associated with the transaction with one or more token usage rules associated with the token; and determine, based on the comparison, whether the transaction may be completed using the token. 2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the transaction comprises one or more of the following: a merchant involved in the transaction, a product involved in the transaction, a price of the product, and a geographical location of one or more parties to the transaction. 3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the token usage rules comprise one or more rules indicating merchants with which transactions may or may not be performed using the token. 4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the token usage rules comprise one or more rules indicating geographical locations in which transactions may or may not be performed using the token. 5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the token usage rules comprise one or more rules indicating products for which transactions may or may not be performed using the token. 6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the token usage rules comprise one or more rules indicating monetary amounts over which transactions may not be performed using the token. 7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate an alert if it is determined that the transaction may not be completed using the token. 8 . A method, comprising: receiving, from a server, a token for verification in a transaction; comparing information associated with the transaction with one or more token usage rules associated with the token; and determining, based on the comparison, whether the transaction may be completed using the token. 9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the information associated with the transaction comprises one or more of the following: a merchant involved in the transaction, a product involved in the transaction, a price of the product, and a geographical location of one or more parties to the transaction. 10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the token usage rules comprise one or more rules indicating merchants with which transactions may or may not be performed using the token. 11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the token usage rules comprise one or more rules indicating geographical locations in which transactions may or may not be performed using the token. 12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the token usage rules comprise one or more rules indicating products for which transactions may or may not be performed using the token. 13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the token usage rules comprise one or more rules indicating monetary amounts over which transactions may not be performed using the token. 14 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising generating an alert if it is determined that the transaction may not be completed using the token. 15 . A computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are configured, when executed by a processor, to: receive, from a server, a token for verification in a transaction; compare information associated with the transaction with one or more token usage rules associated with the token; and determine, based on the comparison, whether the transaction may be completed using the token. 16 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the information associated with the transaction comprises one or more of the following: a merchant involved in the transaction, a product involved in the transaction, a price of the product, and a geographical location of one or more parties to the transaction. 17 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the token usage rules comprise one or more rules indicating merchants with which transactions may or may not be performed using the token. 18 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the token usage rules comprise one or more rules indicating geographical locations in which transactions may or may not be performed using the token. 19 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the token usage rules comprise one or more rules indicating products for which transactions may or may not be performed using the token. 20 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the token usage rules comprise one or more rules indicating monetary amounts over which transactions may not be performed using the token.
