Systems and methods for enhanced payment codes

A system, comprising:

• a mobile electronic device comprising:
• a computer processor;
• a display;
• one or more sensors that sense a location, position and orientation of the display of the mobile electronic device;
• and
• a memory storing a computer payment application and an electronic wallet, wherein the electronic wallet stores a plurality of payment device images;
• and
• a backend for a payment device issuer in communication with the mobile electronic device using a computer communication network;
• wherein:
• the computer payment application displays on the display one of the plurality payment device images stored in the electronic wallet;
• the computer payment application receives a first signal from one or more sensors on the mobile electronic device indicating that the mobile electronic device is within a certain proximity of a transaction terminal;
• the computer payment application receives a second signal from the one or more sensors indicating that the display is oriented such that it is in a position relative to an image capture device for the transaction terminal to be read by the image capture device for the transaction terminal;
• the computer payment application generates, in response to the first signal and the second signal, a request for a machine-readable code for a payment device associated with the payment device image currently displayed on the display;
• the computer payment application communicates the request to the backend for the payment device issuer over the computer communication network;
• the backend generates the machine-readable code for the payment device, wherein the machine-readable code is generated in response to the request being received
• the backend communicates the machine-readable code to the computer payment application over the computer communication network;
• and
• the computer payment application displays on the display the machine-readable code, wherein the display of the machine-readable code replaces the display of the payment device image.
