Abstract
A system and method for providing, as a service over a computer network (especially a packet-switched computer network) to a body of merchants connected to the computer network, verification of consumer identification based on data provided over the computer network by scanning devices attached to the computers operated by consumers.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for enrolling consumers, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to enroll a consumer, the request including a merchant identifier uniquely identifying a merchant of a plurality of merchants and an identity of the consumer;
- determining that the identity of the consumer in the request is for a new account;
- and
- responsive to the determination that the identity of the consumer in the request is for a new account:
- instructing the consumer associated with the identity to perform a scan from a scanning device for verification at the merchant;
- receiving a scanning result from the consumer;
- storing the scanning result as a verification data item that is associated with the merchant identifier and the identity of the consumer in the request;
- generating a random value uniquely identifying the verification data item;
- and
- transmitting the random value to the merchant as a verification of the consumer.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing program code executed by a computer processor, comprising code for:
- receiving a request to enroll a consumer, the request including a merchant identifier uniquely identifying a merchant of a plurality of merchants and an identity of the consumer;
- determining that the identity of the consumer in the request is for a new account;
- responsive to the determination that the identity of the consumer in the request is for a new account:
- instructing the consumer associated with the username to perform a scan from a scanning device for verification at the merchant;
- receiving a scanning result from the consumer;
- storing the scanning result as a verification data item that is associated with the merchant identifier and the identity of the consumer in the request;
- generating a random value uniquely identifying the verification data item;
- and
- transmitting the random value to the merchant as a verification of the consumer.
