System for authenticating a wearable device for transaction queuing

This invention describes a system that lets you pre-authenticate a wearable device, like a smartwatch, to make multiple purchases without needing to re-authenticate each time. You set limits for its use, and when you want to buy something, the system puts the transaction in a queue. When you scan your wearable at a terminal, it uses a token to complete the queued transaction, and the system can even suggest other queued transactions on the terminal's screen.

Why it matters: When filed, wearable payment systems were nascent, and the infrastructure for seamless, multi-transaction pre-authentication and queuing was less developed. Today, widespread wearable adoption and improved POS integration make this system more feasible and user-friendly.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
