Abstract

In response to detecting that a battery level of a first computing device is below a threshold level, a computer system determines that a second computing device is within a threshold distance of the first computing device. In response to the determining that the second computing device is within the threshold distance of the first computing device, the computer system creates a reference identifier (ID) and transmits information corresponding to the reference ID to the second computing device. In response to detecting a usage of the information corresponding to the reference ID by the second computing device, the computer system transmits a request for authentication information. In response to determining that authentication is successful, the computer system transmits a payment from an account associated with a user of the first computing device to an account associated with a recipient.

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

one or more computer-readable memories storing program instructions;
and
one or more processors configured to execute the program instructions to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
detecting that a battery level of a first computing device is below a threshold level;
in response to the detecting that the battery level of the first computing device is below the threshold level, determining that a second computing device is within a threshold distance of the first computing device;
in response to the determining that the second computing device is within the threshold distance of the first computing device, creating a reference identifier (ID) and transmitting information corresponding to the reference ID to the second computing device;
in response to detecting a usage of the information corresponding to the reference ID by the second computing device, transmitting a request for authentication information;
receiving authentication information from the second computing device;
and
in response to determining that authentication is successful, transmitting a payment from an account associated with a user of the first computing device to an account associated with a recipient.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions, that in response to execution by one or more hardware processors, causes the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:

detecting that a battery level of a first computing device is below a threshold level;
in response to the detecting that the battery level of the first computing device is below the threshold level, determining that a second computing device is within a threshold distance of the first computing device;
in response to the determining that the second computing device is within the threshold distance of the first computing device, creating a reference identifier (ID) and transmitting information corresponding to the reference ID to the second computing device;
in response to detecting a usage of the information corresponding to the reference ID by the second computing device, transmitting a request for authentication information;
receiving authentication information from the second computing device;
and
in response to determining that authentication is successful, transmitting a payment from an account associated with a user of the first computing device to an account associated with a recipient.
