## Abstract

A multi-part code system includes a network computing device operable to generate a first and second portion of a code for an interaction. The multi-part code system further includes a second computing device including a second network application and a first computing device including a first network application operable to obtain the second portion of the code, receive the first portion of the code, display the second portion of the code, display the first portion of the code on a code display area, instruct a user to drag the first portion of the code from the code display area to the display area to align with the second portion of the code. When the first portion of the code is aligned with the second portion of the code in the display area, produce the code, and send a finalized interaction notification to the network computing device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A multi-part code system comprises:
a network computing device operable to:
generate a code for an interaction;
generate a first portion of the code and a second portion of the code from the code; and
a second computing device including a second network application associated with the network computing device; and
a first computing device includes:
one or more optical scanners;
an interactive display coupled to the one or more optical scanners; and
a first network application associated with the network computing device, wherein the first network application is operable to:
obtain the second portion of the code for the interaction, wherein the interaction is between the first computing device and the second computing device;
receive the first portion of the code from the network computing device;
display the second portion of the code on a display area of the interactive display;
display the first portion of the code on a code display area of the interactive display;
instruct a user of the first computing device to drag the first portion of the code from the code display area to the display area to align with the second portion of the code; and
when the first portion of the code is aligned with the second portion of the code in the display area:
produce the code; and
send a finalized interaction notification to the network computing device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The multi-part code system of claim 1, wherein the first network application is operable to obtain the second portion of the code by:
receiving, via an interface means, the second portion of the code from the second computing device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The multi-part code system of claim 2, wherein the interface means is the one or more optical scanners.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The multi-part code system of claim 2, wherein the interface means is a network connection.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The multi-part code system of claim 1, wherein the first network application is operable to obtain the second portion of the code by:
receiving the second portion of the code from the network computing device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The multi-part code system of claim 1, wherein the interaction comprises one or more of:
a digital payment transaction;
an exchange of data;
an agreement;
a ticket verification; and
identity verification.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The multi-part code system of claim 1, wherein the first network application is further operable to:
generate first interaction information based on the interaction with the second computing entity; and
send the first interaction information to the network computing device, wherein the network computing device utilizes the first interaction information to generate the code.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The multi-part code system of claim 1, wherein the first network application is further operable to:
lock the first portion of the code on the code display area;
instruct the user to perform a biometric scan to verify identity of the user, wherein the first computing device includes one or more biometric scanning functions; and
when the identity of the user is confirmed:
unlock the first portion of the code on the code display area.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The multi-part code system of claim 8, wherein the first network application is further operable to:
when the identity of the user is not confirmed:
terminate the interaction.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The multi-part code system of claim 8, wherein the one or more biometric scanning functions includes one of:
a fingerprint scanner;
a retina scanner;
a facial identification scanner; and
an identifying feature scanner.
