Abstract

The present invention relates to a reusable physical financial instrument and a system and a method for enabling the financial instrument to perform multiple financial transactions. The financial instrument is capable of creating mixed reality experience when it comes in vicinity of the payor or payee device or ATM. Through the created mixed reality experience, the payor and the payee inputs payor-side and payee-side transaction and biometric data which are stored onto smart chip of the instrument and/or on Cloud Storage using cloud computing interface. The stored payor-side and payee-side transaction data are cross-validated and their biometric data is further verified against golden copy at the respective financial institutions or at the Central Authority's repositories for performing the financial transaction. Upon completing the transaction, the payor-side and the payee-side data is erased, deleted or invalidated from the smart chip, thus making the financial instrument reusable for performing another transaction.

First claim

We claim:

1. A computer-implemented system for facilitating a financial transaction between a payor and a payee using a financial instrument comprising:
a host processor configured to establish wireless connections, via a communication network, with a payor device, a payee device, a payor backend server, a payee backend server, and a central bank backend server;
wherein the payor backend server is associated with a payor institution and the payee backend server is associated with a payee institution; and
wherein the host processor is further configured to:
receive, by the host processor, a request from the payor to perform the financial transaction when an image capturing unit of the payor device focuses on a fiduciary marker on the surface of the financial instrument;
downstream first mixed reality content to the payor device to interactively engage the payor to load payor-side data upon the financial instrument in response to receiving the payor request, wherein the payor-side data comprises payor-side transaction data and payor-side biometric data and wherein the payor-side data is wirelessly transmitted and stored in a smart chip of the financial instrument;
receive, by the host processor, a request from the payee to perform the financial transaction after the financial instrument is received by the payee from the payor and when an image capturing unit of the payee device focuses on the fiduciary marker of the financial instrument;
downstream second mixed reality content to the payee device to interactively engage the payee to load payee-side data on the financial instrument in response to receiving the payee request, wherein the payee-side data comprises payee-side transaction data and payee-side biometric data and wherein the payee-side data is wirelessly transmitted and stored in the smart chip of the financial instrument; and
host at least one of deposition and encashment of the financial instrument based upon verification and authentication of the payor-side data and the payee-side data, wherein the payor-side transaction data and the payee-side transaction data are verified against each other and wherein the payor-side biometric data and the payee-side biometric data are verified and authenticated against previously stored golden copies of the payor-side biometric data and the payee-side biometric data, respectively.

2. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the payor device has a pre-installed mixed reality application to create a mixed reality experience when the payor logs on to the mixed reality application and focuses the image capturing unit of the payor device on the fiduciary marker on the surface of the financial instrument, and wherein the payor device is configured to:
establish, by the host processor, a wireless communication through the communication network between the payor device and the payor backend server;
receive mixed reality content from the host processor comprising a user interface that interactively engages the payor to enter payor-side data into the payor device; and
load the payor-side data on the financial instrument wherein the payor-side data comprises payor's transaction data and payor's biometric data.

3. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the payee device has a pre-installed mixed reality application to create a mixed reality experience when the payee logs on to the mixed reality application and focuses the image capturing unit of the payee device on the fiduciary marker on the surface of the financial instrument, and wherein the payee device is configured to:
establish, by the host processor, a wireless communication through the communication network between the payee device and the payee backend server;
receive mixed reality content from the host processor comprising a user interface that interactively engages the payee to enter payee-side data into the payor device; and
load the payor-side data on the financial instrument wherein the payor-side data comprises payor's transaction data and payor's biometric data.

4. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the host processor is further configured to:
recycle the financial instrument by erasing or invalidating the payor-side transaction data, payor-side biometric data, payee-side transaction data, and payee-side biometric data stored on the smart chip of the financial instrument; and
write a future validity date on to the financial instrument.

5. A computer-implemented method for facilitating a financial transaction between a payor and a payee using a financial instrument comprising:
establishing, by a host processor, wireless connections via a communication network with a payor device, a payee device, a payor backend server, a payee backend server, and a central bank backend server;
wherein the payor backend server is associated with a payor institution and the payee backend server is associated with a payee institution; and
receiving, by the host processor, a request from the payor to perform the financial transaction when an image capturing unit of the payor device focuses on a fiduciary marker on the surface of the financial instrument;
downstreaming first mixed reality content to the payor device to interactively engage the payor to load payor-side data upon the financial instrument in response to receiving the payor request, wherein the payor-side data comprises payor-side transaction data and payor-side biometric data and wherein the payor-side data is wirelessly transmitted and stored in a smart chip of the financial instrument;
receiving, by the host processor, a request from the payee to perform the financial transaction after the financial instrument is received by the payee from the payor and when an image capturing unit of the payee device focuses on the fiduciary marker of the financial instrument;
downstreaming second mixed reality content to the payee device to interactively engage the payee to load payee-side data on the financial instrument in response to receiving the payee request, wherein the payee-side data comprises payee-side transaction data and payee-side biometric data and wherein the payee-side data is wirelessly transmitted and stored in the smart chip of the financial instrument; and
hosting, by the host processor, at least one of deposition and encashment of the financial instrument based upon verification and authentication of the payor-side data and the payee-side data, wherein the payor-side transaction data and the payee-side transaction data are verified against each other and wherein the payor-side biometric data and the payee-side biometric data are verified and authenticated against previously stored golden copies of the payor-side biometric data and the payee-side biometric data, respectively.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the payor device has a pre-installed mixed reality application to create a mixed reality experience when the payor logs on to the mixed reality application and focuses the image capturing unit of the payor device on the fiduciary marker on the surface of the financial instrument comprising:
establishing, by the host processor, a wireless communication, through the communication network between the payor device and the payor backend server;
receiving, by the payor device, mixed reality content from the host processor comprising a user interface that interactively engages the payor to enter payor-side data into the payor device; and
loading, by the payor, the payor-side data on the financial instrument wherein the payor-side data comprises payor's transaction data and payor's biometric data.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the payee device has a pre-installed mixed reality application to create a mixed reality expe
