Abstract
Embodiments discussed herein are generally directed to systems, devices, methods, and techniques to perform authentication and payment operations with a contactless card to provide items and services.
Claims18
A system configured to perform authentication and payment operations based on data stored in contactless cards, comprising:
- one or more servers comprising one or more processors and memory, the memory coupled with the one or more processors and configured to store instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- activate a tap-to-rent feature of a contactless card, wherein activation of the rent feature involves acceptance of terms and conditions for a rental system;
- receive, from a computing device of a rental system affixed to or integrated with an item, encrypted data and rental data corresponding to a rental of the item, the encrypted data comprising authentication information received by the computing device from the contactless card via a short-range wireless communication interface of the computing device, the authentication information comprising information associated with a payment account for the contactless card, wherein the rental data comprises an item identifier and a location;
- extract the authentication information from the encrypted data;
- perform an authentication operation on the authentication information to authenticate the contactless card;
- send, to the rental system, a result of the authentication operation, wherein the sending the result of the authentication operation indicates that the contactless card is authentic and indicates acceptance of terms and conditions;
- receive, from the rental system, a payment request to pay for the rental of the item in response to the contactless card being authentic;
- process the payment request based on the rental data and the information associated with the payment account in the encrypted data;
- and
- release a brake, unlock a lock, unlock a locker, or enable a motor of the item to enable the item via the rental system.
A computer-implemented method for authentication and payment operations based on data stored in contactless cards, comprising:
- activating a tap-to-rent feature of a contactless card, wherein activation of the rent feature involves acceptance of terms and conditions for a rental system;
- receiving, by one or more servers comprising one or more processors and memory, from a computing device of a rental system affixed to or integrated with an item, encrypted data and rental data corresponding to a rental of the item, the encrypted data comprising authentication information received by the computing device from the contactless card via a short-range wireless communication interface of the computing device, the authentication information comprising information associated with a payment account for the contactless card, wherein the rental data comprises an item identifier and a location;
- extracting, by the one or more servers, the authentication information from the encrypted data;
- performing, by the one or more servers, an authentication operation on the authentication information to authenticate the contactless card;
- sending, by the one or more servers, to the rental system, a result of the authentication operation, wherein the sending the result of the authentication operation indicates that the contactless card is authentic and indicates acceptance of terms and conditions;
- receiving, by the one or more servers, from the rental system, a payment request to pay for the rental of the item in response to the contactless card being authentic;
- processing, by the one or more servers, the payment request based on the rental data and the information associated with the payment account in the encrypted data;
- and
- releasing a brake, unlock a lock, unlock a locker, or enable a motor of the item to enable the item via the rental system.
A computer readable non-transitory medium comprising computer-executable instructions that are executed on a processor for authentication and payment operations based on data stored in contactless cards, the computer-executable instructions comprising the steps of:
- activating a tap-to-rent feature of a contactless card, wherein activation of the rent feature involves acceptance of terms and conditions for a rental system;
- receiving, from a computing device of a rental system affixed to or integrated with an item, rental data corresponding to a rental of the item, and encrypted data from the contactless card, the encrypted data comprising authentication information received by the computing device from the contactless card via a short-range wireless communication interface of the computing device, the authentication information comprising information associated with a payment account for the contactless card, wherein the rental data comprises an item identifier and a location;
- extracting the authentication information from the encrypted data;
- performing an authentication operation on the authentication information to authenticate the contactless card;
- sending, to the rental system, a result of the authentication operation, wherein the sending the result of the authentication operation indicates that the contactless card is authentic and indicates acceptance of terms and conditions;
- receiving, from the rental system, a payment request to pay for the rental of the item in response to the contactless card being authentic;
- processing the payment request based on the rental data and the information associated with the payment account in the encrypted data;
- and
- releasing a brake, unlock a lock, unlock a locker, or enable a motor of the item to enable the item via the rental system.
