Motion-enabled transaction system using air sign symbols

A user computing device, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to perform operations comprising:
• detecting, via data generated by a motion detector, a motion-enabled transaction based at least in part on a motion of the user computing device or of a user appendage or external object, the motion simulating an air sign symbol;
• determining a stored air sign symbol corresponding to the air sign symbol simulated by the motion;
• retrieving at least one of a merchant identifier, a transaction type, or a transaction cost based at least in part on the stored air sign symbol;
• and
• receiving a transaction confirmation comprising the at least one of the merchant identifier, the transaction type, or the transaction cost in response to the determined stored air sign symbol.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one user computing device, cause the at least one user computing device to perform operations comprising:

• detecting, via data generated by a motion detector, a motion-enabled transaction request based at least in part on a motion of the user computing device or of a user appendage or external object, the motion simulating an air sign symbol;
• determining a stored air sign symbol corresponding to the air sign symbol simulated by the motion;
• retrieving at least one of a merchant identifier, a transaction type, or a transaction cost based at least in part on the stored air sign symbol;
• and
• receiving, by the user computing device, a transaction confirmation comprising the at least one of the merchant identifier, the transaction type, or the transaction cost in response to the determined stored air sign symbol.
