The patent filed by eBay Inc. describes a method, system, and computer-readable medium for facilitating payment transactions between devices associated with user profiles. The method involves receiving a communication indicating the initiation of a payment transaction by a first device, prompting a second device corresponding to a user profile associated with the first device to complete the payment transaction, and completing the payment transaction based on the second device facilitating the payment. The system includes a processor and memory device storing instructions to perform these operations, while the computer-readable medium contains instructions for the same.
Additionally, the method, system, and computer-readable medium involve identifying the first device from an IP address, mapping it to the user profile, and selecting the second device based on previous payments or notification preferences. The payment is facilitated by the second device through authentication performed at the first device, and the second device can be identified based on login data provided at the first device. Overall, the patent aims to streamline payment transactions by leveraging user profiles and multiple devices to enhance the payment process for eBay users.
