Abstract
An apparatus, method, and system for receiving a request for a transaction using a computer system. An absence of a first identification of an application on a first user device is determined, when a beacon of the computer system does not detect the first identification within a defined geographical area. A plurality of transaction data from a transaction device is received. A second identification based on the received transaction data is generated. An installation status of the application on the first user device based on the generated second identification and the absence of the first identification is also generated.
Claims20
A method for determining an installation status of an application on a user device, the method comprising:
- receiving a request for a transaction from a transaction device, wherein the request for a transaction is associated with a first user device;
- receiving a plurality of transaction data from the transaction device, wherein the plurality of transaction data is associated with the received request for a transaction;
- identifying a first user associated with the first user device;
- determining an absence of a first identification of an application on the first user device;
- generating a second identification of the application associated with the first user device based on the received transaction data;
- and
- generating a first installation status associated with the application on the first user device based on the generated second identification and the absence of the first identification.
A computer program product for determining an installation status of an application, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
- instructions to receive a request for a transaction from a transaction device, wherein the request for a transaction is associated with a first user device;
- instructions to receive a plurality of transaction data from the transaction device, wherein the plurality of transaction data is associated with the received request for a transaction;
- instructions to identify a first user associated with the first user device;
- instructions to determine an absence of a first identification of an application on the first user device;
- instructions to generate a second identification of the application associated with the first user device based on the received transaction data;
- and
- instructions to generate a first installation status associated with the application on the first user device based on the generated second identification and the absence of the first identification.
A computer system for determining an installation status of an application, the computer system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer-readable storage media;
- program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
- instructions to receive a request for a transaction from a transaction device, wherein the request for a transaction is associated with a first user device;
- instructions to receive a plurality of transaction data from the transaction device, wherein the plurality of transaction data is associated with the received request for a transaction;
- instructions to identify a first user associated with the first user device;
- instructions to determine an absence of a first identification of an application on the first user device;
- instructions to generate a second identification of the application associated with the first user device based on the received transaction data;
- and
- instructions to generate a first installation status associated with the application on the first user device based on the generated second identification and the absence of the first identification.
