Abstract

A computer-implemented method for displaying an animated digital watermark including the display of a mobile payment card on a mobile display screen, wherein the mobile payment card is linked to a payment system, and the display of an animated digital watermark on the mobile display screen to ensure authenticity of the displayed mobile payment card.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method for displaying an animated digital watermark, said method comprising:
displaying a mobile payment card on a mobile display screen, wherein said mobile payment card is linked to a payment system;
displaying a user-interactive animated digital watermark on said mobile display screen to ensure authenticity of said displayed mobile payment card, wherein an animation of said animated digital watermark is visually perceptible to a human viewing the mobile display screen; and
displaying additional information to further ensure authenticity of said displayed mobile payment card in response to a human interaction with said animated digital watermark.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein said additional information is a message displayed in a pop-up window.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein said animated digital watermark changes shape while being displayed.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
authenticating a user linked to an account of a payment system.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying an optically machine-readable information for access to an account of said payment system.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein said optically machine-readable information provides access to a consumer credit line.

7. A computer-implemented method for displaying an animated digital watermark, said method comprising:
displaying a mobile payment card on a mobile display screen, wherein said mobile payment card is linked to a payment system;
displaying an animated digital watermark on said mobile display screen to ensure authenticity of said displayed mobile payment card; and
displaying an optically machine-readable information for access to an account of said payment system, wherein said optically machine-readable information and said animated digital watermark are displayed within an authentic mobile application on a mobile device.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein said displaying an animated digital watermark on said display screen, further comprises:
displaying a user-interactive animated digital watermark.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising:
in response to user interaction with said animated digital watermark, displaying additional information to further ensure authenticity of said displayed mobile payment card.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein said additional information is a message displayed in a pop-up window.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein said animated digital watermark is visually perceptible.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein said animated digital watermark changes color while being displayed.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising:
authenticating a user linked to an account of a payment system.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein said optically machine-readable information provides access to a consumer credit line.
