## Abstract

An identification system for a property includes: a mobile device including a display and configured to: selectively output a feature during execution of an application; and transmit user data stored on the mobile device; a scanning module configured to scan the feature and to generate an output based on the feature; an identity module configured to, based on the user data, determine an identity identifier indicative of an identity of a user of the mobile device; and a checking module configured to one of approve and deny an action based on: the output generated based on the feature; and the identity identifier indicative of the identity of the user of the mobile device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An identification system for a property, comprising:
a mobile device including a display and configured to:
selectively output a feature during execution of an application; and
transmit user data stored on the mobile device;
a scanning module configured to scan the feature and to generate an output based on the feature;
an identity module configured to, based on the user data, determine an identity identifier indicative of an identity of a user of the mobile device; and
a checking module configured to one of approve and deny an action based on:
the output generated based on the feature; and
the identity identifier indicative of the identity of the user of the mobile device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The identification system of claim 1 wherein the mobile device is configured to optically display the feature on the display as part of an electronic ticket for an event at the property.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The identification system of claim 1 wherein the user data includes at least three different types of user data.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The identification system of claim 3 wherein the user data includes at least three of:
a serial number of the mobile device;
a user account associated with an application on the mobile device;
cookies stored on the mobile device;
a cellular service provider of the mobile device;
a home address stored on the mobile device;
a work address stored on the mobile device;
and a name stored on the mobile device.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The identification system of claim 4 wherein the user data includes a user account including an email address.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The identification system of claim 1 wherein the identity module is configured to determine the identity identifier indicative of the identity of the user of the mobile device using a database including a plurality of identity identifiers and associated sets of stored user data.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The identification system of claim 6 wherein the identity module is configured to select the identity identifier indicative of the identity of the user of the mobile device from the plurality of identity identifiers based on the stored user data associated with the identity identifier more closely matching the user data received from the mobile device than the other sets of stored user data.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The identification system of claim 1 wherein the checking module is configured to selectively approve the action when the output of the feature is included in a database including a plurality of features.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The identification system of claim 1 wherein the checking module is configured to selectively approve the action when the identity identifier is not included in a database including a plurality of identity identifiers.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The identification system of claim 1 wherein:
the user data includes a serial number of the mobile device; and
the checking module is configured to selectively approve the action when the serial number of the mobile device is not included in a database including a plurality of serial numbers of mobile devices.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The identification system of claim 1 wherein:
the user data includes a serial number of the mobile device; and
the checking module is configured to approve the action on the display when all of:
the serial number of the mobile device is not included in a first database including a plurality of serial numbers of mobile devices;
the output of the feature is included in a second database including a plurality of features; and
the identity identifier is not included in a database including a plurality of identity identifiers.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The identification system of claim 1 wherein the checking module is configured to deny the action when the output of the feature is not included in a database including a plurality of features.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The identification system of claim 1 wherein the checking module is configured to deny the action when the identity identifier is included in a database including a plurality of identity identifiers.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The identification system of claim 1 wherein:
the user data includes a serial number of the mobile device; and
the checking module is configured to deny the action when the serial number of the mobile device is included in a database including a plurality of serial numbers of mobile devices.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

A vehicle system comprising:
the identification system of claim 1; and
a vehicle configured to:
wirelessly connect to the mobile device; and
selectively at least one of:
unlock one or more doors of the vehicle; and
start the vehicle.

### Claim 16 (depends on 1)

The identification system of claim 1 wherein the feature is a quick response (QR) code.

### Claim 17 (depends on 1)

The identification system of claim 1 wherein the action is allowing entry into the property.

### Claim 18 (depends on 1)

The identification system of claim 1 wherein the action is complete an electronic transaction.

### Claim 19 (depends on 1)

The identification system of claim 1 wherein the scanning module includes at least one of a camera, an infrared scanner, a near field communication (NFC) transceiver, and a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) transceiver.

### Claim 20

An identification method, comprising:
by a mobile device including a display, selectively output a feature during execution of an application; and
by the mobile device, transmit user data stored on the mobile device,
wherein the user data includes at least three different types of user data;
receiving the feature from the mobile device;
generating an output based on the feature;
based on the user data, determining an identity identifier indicative of an identity of a user of the mobile device; and
one of approve and deny an action based on:
the output generated based on the feature; and
the identity identifier indicative of the identity of the user of the mobile device.
