Abstract
A user provides at least one electronic contact address, such as a telephone number, during a registration process. The user is verified by establishing a connection with the user via the electronic contact address. Notification events are established, and the electronic contact address re-verified with the user via the electronic contact address when the notification event occurs. A re-verification code is conveyed to the user, which is returned by the user via an on-line form or telephone entry.
Claims30
A verification and notification process implemented by a computing system, the process comprising:
- receiving, from a user, information responsive to at least part of a form that is presented to the user on a website, the received information including an electronic contact address associated with the user;
- verifying the received electronic contact address, wherein verifying the received electronic contact address includes:
- establishing a first telephonic connection with the user using the received electronic contact address;
- communicating a first communicated verification code to the user through the first telephonic connection;
- receiving a first submitted verification code after it is entered by the user via the website;
- and
- verifying the received electronic contact address if the first submitted verification code is the same as the first communicated verification code;
- establishing a notification event associated with the user;
- upon detecting an occurrence of the established notification event, re-verifying the electronic contact address, wherein re-verifying the electronic contact address includes:
- conveying a second communicated verification code to the user;
- receiving a second submitted verification code from the user via a telephone associated with the electronic contact address, the second submitted verification code received from the telephone via a keypad;
- and
- re-verifying the electronic contact address if the second submitted verification code is the same as the second communicated verification code;
- and
- permitting an action associated with the notification event after re-verifying the electronic contact address.
